There is a basic belief in education that is good to address. Especially in this period of educational disorientation.
Educating a child does not mean, as it is believed, to help him adapt to society. It means guiding him to bring out his talents, accompanying him to look at his darkest sides and discovering what they want to communicate, showing him the tools to help him get to know each other more every day. To go against the world with creativity, confidence, and enthusiasm.
Education in general and school in particular have instead become reality over time with the task of unifying infantile minds, to make them tame and adaptable to this world. The different, the creative, the one who deviates from the known is labeled as a “difficult individual” and must be immediately brought back on the right path.
But in doing so they are imprisoning wings ready to take flight, feet already snapping, minds brilliant. And education does not reach its true goal which is to “bring out” ( educate ) the precious treasure that each person has within him . The educated, in the truest meaning of the term, thus becomes an individual who knows his own value and who follows internal but not imposed laws in order to live and develop it. The educated person is not a person who follows the rules of society a priori without first reflecting on them and without pondering whether they are in line with their feelings.
Healthy rebellion should be the result of any education.
Where by healthy rebellion is meant a peaceful, courageous and creative inner protest that leads to constructive action. To come to welcome and build new worlds, to improve existing ones, to put an end to the unhealthy ones.
This great crisis we are experiencing is an opportunity to awaken the adult, to make him reflect on the meaning of education, to set his creativity in motion and to lead him to action.
Now more than ever we urgently need children and young people educated in this way. And also of adults with the desire to continue to educate themselves.
“Do not teach your children to adapt to society, to make do with what is there, to compromise with what is in front of them; give them inner values with which they can change society and resist the diabolical project of globalization of all brains. Because globalization is not only an economic phenomenon but also a biological one, as it imposes on us global desires and global behaviors that will eventually induce global changes in our way of thinking ”.
