La educación prohibida

This documentary shows some testimonials from educators, all of them in the same way, arguing in the defense of an alternative education against the traditional one.  

In summary, this documentary helped us to open the mind and see that traditional education has large errors. One of the most important problems is that traditional does not respond to the children needs, it responds to the need of the society, and works to prepare children to fit in the society. Children are rarely asked about their motivations and neither involved in the creating of content or learning methods. Therefore, this kind of education does not help children to find or develop their real talents.

Although we have found really interesting points in their speeches, we would like to see all this theories in practice. It would help much more, instead of listening so much interviews, to see how these educators take this theories to practice day by day with their children. Because the problem that we usually find is that we listen a lot about these idealistic theories but, we really see very little examples about them.
