  1. Alberto Manguel A Reader on Reading

  2. A fierce paradox exists as the heart of every school system. A society needs to impart the knowledge of its codes to its citizens so that they can become active in it; but the knowledge of that code…enables those same citizens to question that society, to uncover its ills and attempt a change. In the very system that allows a society to function lies the power to subvert it. So the teacher, the person appointed by that society to unveil to its new members the secrets of its shared vocabularies, becomes in fact a danger to that same society, a Socrates able to corrupt the youth…A teacher is forever caught in this double-bind…There is no such thing a school for anarchists, and yet, in some sense, every teacher must teach anarchism, must teach students to question…even if this means opposing, and ultimately doing away with the teacher herself.
