El elogio de la diferencia

La pedagogía se ocupa de los seres humanos, de cada uno de ellos. No caben en su discurso las lejanías, tampoco los torrentes de despersonalización a que nos tienen habituados algunos paradigmas con pretensión científica. Quienes nos asumimos de por vida como educadores nos movemos en una comunicación con los otros y con nosotros mismos. No se expresan a través de nosotros palabras de determinada disciplina, como si un lenguaje ajeno nos habitara. By: Daniel Prieto Castillo
