Questions about school across our lives...
Why in school is it more important to know the periodic table than to know how to mount a plug? Why do we only learn the prestigious in school? And why is what you learn in school more prestigious than what you learn outside?
How can you take a young man out of school by stitching a button, painting walls or repairing a bicycle? Wasn't the school base preparing for a good life? And are they not necessary to live well?
Why don't we see it, that only the fate of a gray life is what we are offering to children and young people? Are we not aware that school is the training needed to support the neurotic society?
Why is the gap between the learning set we need for life and what we need to succeed in school so wide?
Why is a student with school knowledge considered more intelligent than another?
"Why is the gap between the learning set we need for life and what we need to succeed in school so wide?"
Why is the importance and time devoted to the workforce reduced year after year? Why is intellectual knowledge so premium? Why does the working world have no place in school? Why don't we see students building shelving, for example, in Vocational Training? Why do we think they have failed?
Why is knowledge divided into subjects if in life it does not work that way to learn? Why do we not want life situations to be stimulating in the context and starting point of integral learning? Why do we think that organizing a trip can't be enough to study geography, mathematics, history, biology? Why do we turn learning so boring, cold, distant and abstract?
Why do we naturalize young people having to stay in school for at least eight years and about 30 hours a week? Why should the school be the organizer of most children's vital experiences? Why do we think it so important that children learn quickly to function on the basis of interests that are not theirs?
Why do they call it an educational system and not a learning system? So what is the goal, whether children learn or teach us?
Why do we design the curriculum that we all need to learn at the same time? Why do we need to determine when a child will be curious about something? Why do we do it, knowing that what they want and not do at the moment when they want to turn off the urge to learn? Why do we prefer that children get good grades than learning? Why do we pay the expensive price of failing to keep pace with students and sacrificing personalized care?
Why are we afraid that children don't learn the necessary things? If you can live without learning, is that really necessary? Why should we learn what does not meet our real need? Why is it different to us and to the power system?
Why have we normalized the desire to learn from children and the substitution of natural pleasure for deferred notes? Why have we recognized the qualification of people and also be the defining of failure or success? Why do we believe that solidarity can take place in such an intrinsic organisation as competition and hierarchy?
Why do we classify children by age? What other natural communities?
Why do we not perceive in the same arrangement of the classrooms the disciplinary will of the educational institutions?

The year 2025 will lead to a general policy of establishing shorter working weeks, bringing low costs for new hires for companies and an effective direction of change in labour relations.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.
I will confess... [+]
This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]
We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]
In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]
To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]
On January 15, the techno-business lobby called Cedarios presented its 6th report, Euskadi and the European Union, the shared destiny of prosperity and competitiveness. This neoliberal Think Tank, made up of eminent experts drawn from the world of finance, presented a magical... [+]
We Basques move our feet behind the witness of Korrika to proclaim that we want to survive as a Basque people in favor of our language, with the aim of the Basque Country we desire.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
