“What did she know about the Black Forest? Only what she’d been able to glean from the maps in the library and from Luc’s fairy tales: Castles hidden in glens. Trees as tall as city buildings.

“La scuola, per prima, dovrebbe creare dei veri comunicatori, cioè dei docenti che siano in grado di trasmettere nel migliore dei modi il sapere ai loro allievi. Non basta, infatti, essere laureati in Fisica per insegnare Fisica o essere laureati in Lettere per far amare gli autori classici, occorre anche preparazione pedagogica. Sono rimasto allibito quando una studentessa di Pedagogia mi ha detto che i suoi due esami principali (Pedagogia I e Pedagogia II), sui quali avrebbero dovuto basarsi le sue conoscenze pedagogiche, consistevano nella lettura di una quindicina di libri di D'Annunzio e di Nietzsche! La libertà di insegnare è una bella cosa, ma non "insegnare a insegnare" mi pare una follia senza giustificazioni! Anche perché i danni in questo modo si perpetuano, di generazione in generazione.”
