CHILDREN OF LABOR-EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL. (A DEFENSE ATTEMPT STORY)

Resumo

The author defenses the classical right of children to be what they are (The child is not a small adult, neither new, unlit candle. It is “another” - Jean-Ovide Decroly) as they are self-realizing in their life and educational environment offered in the so-called “Labor-educational Schools” (now is called “Educational Boarding School”). The experience of Angel Uzunov, reflected in an artistic-documentary way in “Life without Intersections. Records of a Pedagogue” proves the pedagogical efficiency of such form of the nowadaysmodern “together” (with other children) – namely the burdensome, active and socially meaningful life of the boarding school that prompts children to define it as “their home-school”: the author’s assumption that deinstitutionalization will take away that feeling of a father's home and this security from the protection of my school.
