Abstract

The social mechanisms and the educational practices that lead to school failure have been thoroughly studied in the last decades. Observing schools and interviewing teachers we realized a growing “thing-ification” of the teacher and the student. When they are deprived from what is more personal and meaningful as their style, rythm and values, they take part in the educative process in a mechanical, repetitive and submissive way. We reflect upon the phychologist role as a professional who can rescue, recognize and valorize the individual, his/her communication needes (teach and learn) and his/her potential to it, being part of the re-creation of the school culture in a creative and singular way.
