Daniel Pennac has never forgotten what it was like to be a very unsatisfactory student, nor the day one of his teachers saved his life by assigning him the task of writing a novel. This was the moment Pennac realized that no-one has to be a failure for ever. In School Blues, Pennac explores the many facets of schooling: how fear makes children reject education; how children can be captivated by inventive thinking; how consumerism has altered attitudes to learning. Haunted by memories of his own turbulent time in the classroom, Pennac enacts dialogues with his teachers, his parents and his own students, and serves up much more than a bald analysis of how young people are consistently failed by a faltering system. School Blues is not only universally applicable, but it is unquestionably a work of literature in its own right, driven by subtlety, sensitivity and a passion for pedagogy, while embracing the realities of contemporary culture.… (meer)
Daniel Pennac is a world-renowned French author, well-known for children's books and light-hearted novels such as the Malaussene series. In School Blues, Pennac draws on his school days, where he was a self-described dunce, as well as his own teaching career, and discusses the problems of failing children and what can be done to help them.
It's certainly interesting to read of the childhood of a famed author and the influences that moulded him, but School Blues is really just a series of anecdotes about the struggles Pennac and others had to succeed at school. He fails to identify any real reason for his own problems - which presumably are the ones he knows best - attributing them merely to an inability to understand.
Pennac's book may be of general interest but it is not going to add to the knowledge of experienced educationalists, all of whom would be well aware of these issues. His conclusions are unenlightening and trite - effectively his only answer is that teachers need to love the failing students in their care. ( )
«Mal de escuela» aborda la cuestión de la escuela y la educación desde un punto de vista insólito, el de los malos alumnos. Penca, un pésimo estudiante en su época, estudia esta figura del folclore popular otorgándole la nobleza que se merece y restituyéndole la carga de angustia y dolor que inevitablemente lo acompaña. Desde su propia experiencia como «zoquete» y como profesor, el autor reflexiona acerca de la pedagogía y las disyunciones de la institución escolar, sobre el sentimiento de exclusión del alumno y el amor a la enseñanza del profesor.
Revendication de l'éducation comme formation de la personne, et de l'école et des enseignants comme instrument nécessaire au développement intégral des élèves. Défenseur de l'école comme sauveur d'individus qui pourraient finir par être rejetés pour la société, il nous parle depuis son "expérience" de cancre devenu enseignant. Il critique la société de consommation qui transforme les élèves (et tous enfin) en "clients". Hautement recommandé pour quiconque s'approche dans l'enseignement ou la formation. ( )
Il libro affronta il grande tema della scuola da punto di vista degli alunni un po' speciali fra i quali anche l'autore si è ritrovato per una parte della sua vita.
