Actueel? Ja, in macroperspectief, maar wat Kuijers visie op onderwijs betreft… Die keet is al een duizendtal keer veranderd sinds het boekje voor de eerste keer in 1980 uitkwam. Daarom vond ik het een frustrerende rit. Er zitten quotes in deze filosofische mijmering die ik met gusto boven m’n bed zou hangen, maar het is ook verwarrend, hak-op-de-takkerig en voor iemand die dagelijks probeert het Kind een goede toekomst te bezorgen vaak naast de kwestie. Een drietje.

Erg intressant, maar geen duidelijk geheel. Moet nog een conclusie bij.
Nu nog het kleine rotgodje lezen.
