Us and Them
Is school an educational institution as its definition says? What is the society’s relation to it? In what ways is the grade point average important? Do we learn for knowledge or for the grade? What is the meaning of grades from E to A and the scholastic achievement less than straight A’s? How relevant for the real life is the knowledge acquired at school, and how competent for the real life are the young people once they finish the high school? What is the relationship between free will and coercion at school, how do they influence each other and how do they manifest themselves – in students and in their teachers? What is the status of teachers? Which tools are available to them to gain authority and the trust of their students? How free are they to approach the subject they teach creatively? How complex is the triangle students-parents-teachers? Who is Us and who is Them, and who or what divides us from them in that game of separation?
The world school derives from the Greek skholé, which means „entertainment in free time, leisure“. The crucial question is: How and why have we abandoned the idea of acquiring knowledge through entertainment and play, and turned school into an institution dominated by boredom and anxiety? And what can we do to change it?
