The good teachers: a critical-literary test on an art always in danger

Abstract

Current times require a lot of reflection in order to confront the challenges that education has in this century. Among optimistic and unoptimistic visions, masters see future with perplexity, while books and movies bring the critic account of their representations in the world. This text, in an essay way, in the classic form to guide some reflections in its readers, want to be a fountain of greater encouragement to men and women that everyday put their lives in the art of be masters. By appealing characteristics of our present and deficiencies that nowadays define what is done in the classrooms, the text looks for a critic accent to the current lines that weave and handle the masters’ calling and want to encourage a bigger discussion about the forms that, institutionally, have been trivialized what they are doing in the classrooms.
