The problem of autonomy and conformity has suffered a harsh fate in pedagogy. The virtues of love, respect, honour, truthfulness, etc. play a major role in educational work, but it is mostly silent about the concepts of autonomy and conformity. Politics are afraid of these like the devil is afraid of incense smoke. Practising teachers complain that our entire education system is weaning school principals, teachers and students from independent thinking and striving. The basic educational goal is clear: to develop autonomous young people who are strengthened in their own being and strength, and vice versa: to suppress superficial, unconvincing conformity. An old lesson: conformity can only be realistically fought with non-conformist politics and the cooperation of non-conformist teachers.
