Common Places Instant translation

Personally I never liked studying data from memory. Perhaps for lack of a privileged capacity in this regard. More likely, as a matter of principle. The only thing that has helped me study Memory is a sonnet. But that compares to learn songs, which often goes almost unnoticed. Preserve the memory of literary fragments, work the magic we encounter any sentence to decorate and illuminate their own experiences when least expected. To me sometimes surprised me a line from Whitman in the midst of a dirge and I said just now I understand that poem.

Say there are exceptions. Today, Teachers' Day in Argentina, I would reread and share with the illusion of remembering morning-caught or rescued, these words almost by heart.

This is the beginning of the film Common Places (2002). Start talking about literature, but from the fifth minute, the protagonist delivers a speech memorable for their students. Here fragment of the video and other more.

"We do not require their students to study memory, does not work. What is needed is rejected by force and soon deleted. No boy will be a better person for knowing memory in which year was Cervantes. Put a goal to make them think, that doubt, be asked questions. Not valued by the responses, the answers are not the truth, seeking a truth that will always be relative. The best questions are those that are repeated from the Greek philosophers. Many already are commonplace, but will survive: what, how, when, where, why. If we accept that this is also that "the goal is the way", it serves as a response. Describe the tragedy, but not explained.
There is a mission or a mandate that I want to meet. It is a mission that no one has been but I hope that you, as teachers, self-imposed same: wake up in his students the pain of lucidity. No limits. No mercy. "*
