The school as an affirmation of life and care of the educator

Abstract

This essay considers School as an affirmation of life. The three main ideas that support this premise are: attention to a text to which authority is conferred as a human creation desirable to attend to; that of asking ourselves about our being an educator in a reality of confusion and crisis; and wandering as a movement before the established that invites to create a new world in front of those who arrive. This plot is unleashed in a pedagogical situation that we have called a period of exceptionality and that places, on the one hand, the school as a common, political space, in a Kairós time-space and, on the other, the educator as a human being who attends to a text as affirmation of life and as a creator of realities. The authors propose that the affirmation of life is a form of care, disciplined in their instruction, wandering by movement, written by lived that questions what is established through questions.
