One talks too much, with insistence, of the researcher teacher. In my opinion, research is not a quality in a teacher nor a way of teaching or acting that can be added to the one of simply teaching. To question, to search, and to research are parts of the nature of teaching practice. What is necessary is that, in their ongoing education, teachers consider themselves researchers because they are teachers.

For this purpose, see Neil Postman, Technology: The Surrender of Culture to Technology (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1992).

This is a fundamental preoccupation of Prof. Miguel Arroio and his team in Belo Horizonte, where they have reinvented the school in a way that should serve as a model for the rest of the country. But none of the media seem interested in making known this experience or similar experiences in Uberaba, Porto Alegre, Recife, and so many other places throughout Brazil. It’s a great pity that such creative practices promoted by people willing to take risks, whether in private or public schools, are so marginalized when they could be the subject of a television program of considerable impact.
