closing schools
mistrust of 'large-area apartment buildings, where many people close themselves up or shut up They come. Prisons, churches, hospitals, parliaments, military barracks, asylums, schools, ministries and convents. Codest public buildings are ominous: indisputable signs of general illness. Defense against crime - against death - against foreigners - against the disorder - the solitude - against everything that frightens the man left to himself: The coward who manufactures eternal laws and society as its ramparts and trenches tremebondaggine.
There are claims of bad men stores - in town and country and on the shores of the Sea - in front of 'what you do not pass without fear.
There are condemned to darkness, hunger, suicide, immobility, all'abbrutimento, insanity, thousands and millions of men who took off a bit 'of wealth to' richest brothers or decreased d ' Suddenly the number of humanity will not regret this. M'intenerisco not above these people but I suffer when I think too much of their lives - and the quality and the right of 'their judges and jailers. But for them there is at least the reason for the defense against the possibility of returning offensive to anyone of us. "
But what ever the boys, adolescents, youths and young men from six up to ten to fifteen to twenty twenty-four years to close so many times of the day in your white galleys to suffer their body flaws and their brains? The other you call them - and with moral codes in hand - but these other criminals are, for you, pure and innocent as They issued from the womb of your wives and daughters. With what excuses you allow traitors to diminish their pleasure and their libertà nell’età più bella della vita e di compromettere per sempre la freschezza e la sanità della loro intelligenza?
Non venite fuori colla grossa artiglieria della rettorica progressista: le ragioni della civiltà, la educazione dello spirito, l’avanzamento del sapere...
Noi sappiamo con assoluta certezza che la civiltà non è venuta fuor dalle scuole e che le scuole intristiscono gli animi invece di sollevarli e che le scoperte decisive della scienza non son nate dall’insegnamento pubblico ma dalla ricerca solitaria disinteressata e magari pazzesca di uomini che spesso non erano stati a scuola o non v’insegnavano.
Sappiamo egualmente e con la stessa certezza che la scuola, essendo per sua necessità formale e tradizionalista, ha contribuito spessissimo a pietrificare il sapere e a ritardare con testardi ostruzionismi le più urgenti rivoluzioni e riforme intellettuali.
Soltanto per caso e per semplice coincidenza – raccoglie tanta di quella gente! – la scuola può essere il laboratorio di nuove verità.
Essa non è, per sua natura, una creazione, un’opera spirituale ma un semplice organismo e strumento pratico. Non inventa le conoscenze ma si vanta di trasmetterle. E non adempie bene neppure a quest’ultimo ufficio – perché le trasmette male o trasmettendole impedisce il più delle volte, disseccando e storcendo i cervelli ricevitori, il formarsi di altre conoscenze nuove e migliori.
Le scuole, dunque, non son altro che reclusori per minorenni istituti per soddisfare a bidogni pratici e prettamente borghesi.
Quali?
Per i genitori, nei primi anni, sono il mezzo più decente per levarsi di casa i figliuoli che danno noia. Più tardi entra in ballo il pensiero dominante della “posizione” e della “carriera”.
Per i maestri c’è soprattutto la ragione di guadagnarsi pane, carne e vestiti con una professione ritenuta “nobile” e che offre, in più, tre mesi di vacanza l’anno e qualche piccola beneficiata di vanità. Aggiungete a questo la sadica voluttà di potere annoiare, intimorire e tormentare impunemente, in capo alla vita, qualche migliaio di bambini o di giovani.
Lo Stato mantiene le scuole perché i padri di famiglia le vogliono e perché lui stesso, avendo bisogno tutti gli anni di qualche battaglione di impiegati, preferisce tirarseli su a mod suo e sceglierli sulla fede di certificati da lui concessi senza noie supplementari di vagliature più faticose.
Aggiungete che sulle scuole ci mangiano ispettori, presidi, bidelli, preparatori, assistenti, editori, librai, cartolai e you will have the full story of the tissues around the interests and level municipal and royal houses of detention.
None - except to talk - think about the improvement of the nation, the development of thought and a lot less than you should think about more: the welfare of children.
The schools there are, are comfortable, menano some gain: ficchiamoci males and females and forget it.
The man, in three half-dozen years in his life (six to twelve, twelve to eighteen, eighteen to twenty-four), they need to live with freedom.
Freedom to strengthen his body and stay healthy, free open-air school will ruin your eyes, lungs, nerves (those short-sighted, anemia and neurasthenia Possoni curse right schools and who invented them!)
freedom to carry out their personality in life is open from ten thousand chance, rather than artificial and restricted classes and colleges.
Freedom impèarare really something because one does not learn anything important from the lessons, but only the great books and personal contact with reality. Where each fits in its own way and choose what is right instead of the to submit to the manipulation which is dried and consistent teaching.
In schools, however, have a daily confinement in a room full of dusty winds - the most unnatural physical stillness - the stillness of the spirit required to repeat rather than to seek - the disastrous effort to learn a lot of stupid things with methods useless - systematic drowning every personality, originality and initiative in the Black Sea of \u200b\u200buniform programs. Up to six years the man is a prisoner of parents, nannies od'istitutrici; from six to twenty-four is subject to parents and teachers, by slave clock and the office of head of section, the public and the wife comes between forty and fifty mechanized and ossified habits (most terrible of all master) and slave, slave, prisoner, puppet, forced and remained until his death.
Let us at least the children and young people to enjoy a little 'toilet of anarchy!
The only excuse (never enough) of that long imprisonment would be the school recognized its usefulness for future men. But on this point there is enough harmony among the most enlightened minds. The school does much more harm than good to the brain in training.
teaches many useful things, then you have to unlearn to learn that many other self.
teaches many things that are false or questionable, and then it takes a great effort to Leber - and not all get it.
accustomed men to believe that all the wisdom of the world consists of printed books.
It almost never teaches that a man will actually do in life, which must then be a long and arduous apprenticeship self-paced.
teaches (pretends to teach) what no one can ever teach: painting academies, schools of taste in letters; thought in the faculties of philosophy, pedagogy in the normal course, the music in the conservatories.
teaches evil because it teaches all the same things in the same manner and the same amount without taking into account the infinite diversity of talent, race, social background, age, etc. needs.
You can not teach more than one. Does not learn something from others that in conversations with two, where he teaches that fits the nature of the other. redeployment, exemplifies, question, discuss, and that his word from on high.
Almost all men who have done something new in the world or I never went to school or are soon fled or were "bad" pupils.
(I come mediocre in life to make regular and honorable career, and perhaps to gain major fame were often the "first" class).
The school does not teach exactly what you need: just passed the exams and obtained the necessary qualifications rivomitare all that who has gorged on those banquets and forced to start over.
I would like our doctors of law, for which the school is the temple of the new generations and approved hand are the sacred texts of religion pedantic, at least read Once Hazlitt's essay on 'ignorance of the educated , which begins: "The kind of people who have fewer ideas is formed by those who are not simply authors or readers.
E 'better not knowing how to read or write that knowing how to read and write, and not being able else. " And further down: "Everyone has gone through all grades of regular and a classical education did not become stupid, can boast of having escaped beautiful."
I believe that very few could - if they could judge for themselves - boast of such a resistance. And just look at a attorno e vedere quale sia la media intelligenza de’ nostri impiegati, dirigenti, maestri, professionisti e governanti per convincersi che Hazlitt ha centomila ragioni. Se c’è ancora un po’ d’intelligenza nel mondo bisogna cercarla fra gli autodidatti o fra gli analfabeti.
La scuola è così essenzialmente antigeniale che non stupidisce solamente gli scolari ma anche i maestri. Ripeti e ripeti anni dopo anni le medesime cose, diventano assai più imbecilli e immalleabili di quel che fossero al principio – e non è dir poco.
Poveri aguzzini acidi, annoiati, anchilosati, vuotati, seccati, angariati, scoraggiati che muovon le loro membra ufficiali and government only when it comes to having a few bucks more every month!
It speaks of moral education in schools. The only result of the coexistence between teachers and students is this: apparent servility and hypocrisy of the first and second to corruption mutual friends and companions.
The only text of sincerity in schools is the wall of the latrine.
should shut the schools - all schools. From first to last. Nurseries and kindergartens, colleges, boarding schools, primary schools and secondary and upper secondary schools, technical schools and technical institutes, universities and academies, business schools schools and war colleges and schools of application; polytechnics and teacher training. Everywhere where a man tries to teach to other men need to shut shop. It should not be embarrassed to listen to parents or teachers or booksellers unemployed bankrupt. All s'accomoderà and quieter with time. You will find a way to know (and know better and in less time) without having to sacrifice the best years of life on the benches of semiprigioni government.
There will be more intelligent men and more men of genius, life and science will be even better than before, each'll pull through and civilization itself will not slow down even a second. There will be more freedom, more health and more joy.
The human soul first. It 's the most precious thing that we each possess. We want to save at least when he is making the wings. Pension for life to give all teachers, teachers, governors, headteachers, teachers, lecturers and janitors provided young people leave to go out of their factories privileged status of idiots. Na we have enough after so many centuries.
Who is against freedom and youth working for the stupidity and death.
