School should provide an exciting space for challenges, at the same time open to the unexpected and providing the safety of familiarity and the predictability of rules. If this sounds contradictory it's because it is; but the brain likes a challenge and the uncertainty of exploration only when backed by a safe and predictable space; the classroom should provide the child with two types of complex and essential experiences: the experience of a systematic knowledge of the world and the encounter with the other, a peer group which, in spite of living together with, one finds oneself competing against (the experience of living a shared life, of meeting one's own needs and achieving one's own interests by taking into consideration the needs and interests of others); Add to this the ambivalence of inhabiting two types of reality at the same time: material and virtual.

About the author
Interessiert an der Welt der Ideen, glaubt der Autor, dass Bildung ein paradoxer Prozess ist, der darauf abzielt, die Unabhängigkeit des Geistes zu erreichen, indem er ihn dem Denken anderer unterwirft. Aufgewachsen im Schatten der Bücher, hat sich der Autor schließlich Gedanken über die Existenz derjenigen gemacht, die am Zusammenfluss zweier Welten leben - der Realität und des virtuellen Raums.
