Perhaps because of the 2020 pandemic, people are more contrite and sensitive. We have seen some reiterations of the pedagogy of love, in general citing Maturana, who has been the main patron of the idea. Nothing more needed, also true. However, there is the bitter taste of institutional hypocrisy, when we see that our education system is anything but pedagogy of love. It may sound like a gloomy fuss. I see some educators delighted with the idea, for whom I have the greatest respect, because I know their integrity and academic competence, but I keep thinking to what extent it is feasible to enjoy this idea of the pedagogy of love, not only because it is foreign to the Cartesian Eurocentric context, but because the smoke screen sounds to cover up an incredibly perverse educational policy. Apprenticeship is almost nonexistent, especially in High School (EM), we take almost nothing into the school life and the Ideb historical series since 1995 has opened up an inept, if not useless, system with no prospect of change. Educational misery cuts across governments, regardless of ideology, because instructionism is the standard posture, now globalized, also officially accepted in PISA: the system is typically “teaching”, instruction, based on the class copied to be copied, content, such which appreciates the private school.
