An Introduction to the SOCIOLOGY of EDUCATION

About social pedagogy: Progressive liberals and socialists created at the beginning of the 20th century a secular school free of dogmas and free for all. A utopia certainly because there have always been two schools in one: that of the teachers who want to develop human beings in the making and the opposite of the teachers in search of power who only think of selecting without questioning themselves. Our aim is, on the one hand, to popularise active methods of assisted and joyful personal research and, on the other hand, to help young people to blossom in a healthy neutrality so as not to inculcate dogmatic values (religious for example) or values that are in contradiction with human rights. Learners will be our humanistic future if they acquire a critical spirit of reason and therefore not alienated, self-confidence and respect for themselves and others: a choice of society.
