The purpose of this article is to relate the thoughts of Walter Benjamin with the universe of education and childhood through the track of time. For Benjamin, the childhood represents an interruption of the time line and the emptiness regarding an "artistic" time of "holidays". The education in its traditional form works with the education of children as a time line, but childhood in its revolutionary power is the interruption of time as a mechanical repetition in favor of an artistic time which is "a time of present". Based on this concept built by Benjamin, we can consider a schedule faced for the future of the education where the school should use its investments for full time, the time of surprises, of interruptions, and the unexpected. This paper shows the education as an experience of another time - a time for an intensive encounter among things and people free and opens for the new, and open for the radical and for the present time.
