Training teachers from a poor district school made me once again aware of the impact the genetics of a system have on people. They are basically transformed in certain industrial workers, put in front of students in difficult cultural  circumstances,  living in the idea that this situation is the best for everybody.   But  we have to make an environment in which young people feel motivated, we have to organize communal approach by teachers, they have to construct dialogues with one another about there basic task: dialogue with the kids.  In order to do so, it is paramount that teachers have a sensibility for questions that concerns the meaning of learning, working and living. What is a meanigfull life?  is the organising question that should be in the core of our eduactional sytem. For teachers and pupils alike. Let us make learning an atractive part of all our lives by designing  learner userfriendly environments.
