Bottomless Headscissors

Eduardo Dominguez, "the little teacher '


Eduardo Dominguez is one of the main characters Income pain, frustrated love, Matilde Santos, the teacher who stays true to pedagogical thought he had met in the Republic.
As alluded to those school teachers in my recent book Franco education might have been. Reflections from the desk (Granada, Editorial Zumaya, 2010) Eduardo image was always present. Eduardo
represents what the school officials despised Franco: the teacher who inspired a people-centered education of the student, away from the doctrinaire educational principles of the regime.
When I tried to talk about education at that time in education that could be I did not want to forget the many 'Eduardo' school was in Franco. It would be absurd to pretend injustice criminalize all teachers of that school and included in the educational pattern inspired by the regime.
These are the words with which I have referred to them: "There were probably good teachers who do not share the assumptions imposed on them by the regime, or with the tenets of that school operated as its commitment to education was able to violating the provisions. But unfortunately their membership in that time engulfed them. As a matter of justice, maybe you should ever talk about them and recognize their work. It's more than possible that many of them have felt hurt to include them into disrepute with which generalized the review of that school, often seeking more anecdote than careful analysis and deep, as did much of the literature that proliferated for a while and perhaps epitomized The hanging flower Andrew Soper, although not unique. Not that we advocate a kind of education that most abhor, but I want us to be more fair to those who at that time also opposed the dictatorship from school. "(p. 65).
The little teacher, Eduardo Dominguez, was among them.
