IMAGINE AN EDUCATION
WHERE YOU ARE THE MAIN CHARACTER
Nowadays the education is forbidden.
Very few things that happen at school are truly important.
School then is not evean a place for education, it's the big daycare centre.
There aro nothing else but boring spaces.
Education keeps being the same
useful for culture to remain the same, to repeat itself.
WHERE LEARNING IS LIVINGAnd the things that matter aren't written in any notebook.
This, as it is now, is disrespectful!
What's the problem now?
Take some responsabity!
Wait a minute Martin because I know you.
And the student thinks that the only thing
he needs to do is repeat, repear, repeat
until it gets in his head.
Repeat

Nobody really learns if it is in a forced way, thats no learning.
Wich is like dog training.
That is not education.
WHERE LEARNING IS CHOOSING\n How to face difficulties?
We don't know, we weren't taught.
Stop it, stop it! Mariela that's enough!
School has to be a space for experimentation
opened up to posibilities.
WHERE WE LEARN TOGETHER They teach us to be apart from each other and
to compete over things that are not worthy.
Everybody speaks about peace
but nobody teaches for peace.
People teach for competing, and competing
is the beggining of any war.
WHERE LEARNING IS RESPECT EACH OTHER Parents and teachers don't listen.
They never ask us what we think.
How do you think you will get into college?
Who told you I want to go to college?
There are mothers and fathers that see their kid only one hour a day.
You passed all the classes, right?
Yes mom.
How can we expect something beautiful out of that?
AN INVITATION TO BUILD They have no idea about what we feel, what we think
or what we want to do.
You will have to choose a profession.
You can't keep playing as a kid.
I think that today's teachers are sons of this system.
If you let them you will lose authority.
They can't do whatever they want.
A DIFFERENT ADUCATION I think we have to think if we are paying attention or not
to what they say.
What they are saying is deep, it's no game.
