ON CHILDHOOD AND EDUCATION: A PHILOSOPHIC AND LITERARY RESCUE

Abstract

The intention of this paper is to interpret, from reflective processes, the narrative of children education, by means of a literary simile in which the author and his characters are eternally tied, and where the educational intimacy is accomplice of its own lessons and its own learning.

Here the manner in which the child who is currently educated should be seen and treated is exemplified, especially in their childhood, this stage in which life is loaded of potentiality, and where the educator’s role with his learners is decisive. A role to construct a relationship in which words are present at all times, even though they are not comprehensible or understandable; where the mutual recognition as an individual becomes in a fundamental part of the educational process in which the teacher is not the colonizer of knowledge and behaviors. In which the simple fact of being present becomes a testimony of this relationship. 

This is a reflection regarding the humanization of education and a critical reasoning of the educator, of what he is, what he says, what he thinks and what he does, seeking for a change without forgetting his past, and with the virtue of updating and making others happy.
