Towards a pedagogy of the innocents

The idea of a school for the children of migrant workers, an issue that has been of concern in the countries of North America and Europe, proposes the dilemmas of socialization and education of those uprooted in face of a rooted institution such as the school. To conciliate the school with the social situation of quasi transhumance of these workers' children it would be necessary to recognize the educational and socializing functions of the students themselves, the student as teacher of cultural diversity. In other words, to admit a pedagogy of the innocents.
