Abstrakt
The text is an attempt for a complex contemplation on various questions, arising on the background of the currently running curricular reform at Czech elementary and secondary schools. The author unfolds the theme in a context of other significant events.
Among others she contemplates the social status of a teacher, the system of upbringing and education of the young, the preparation of teachers-to-be in the situation of profound value crisis connected with the crisis of family and authority. The common point of these reflections is the effort to rise for these questions not only among the pedagogical public, and to inspire for all-society discussion on possible ways out of this burdensome social pathology, and to face the mechanisms endangering the sole humanistic foundation of cultural heritage of the European civilisation.
