is definitely an issue in the discourse of education. Maybe because we miss it? The constant talk about showing respect is a paradox. We actually show respect to phenomena that are not respectable. And that makes the respect less respectable. In the schools, according to Lars-Henrik Schmidt, this problem partly has to do with our teachers’ current impossibility of indignation. Today’s moral dogma of pupil recognition must be replaced by a new reflection of teacher interventions. And we should think of schools in terms of, say, the responsibilities of dance, because dance requires incredible discipline, and because it can tell a story, it being so ritualized – even when it is free in its expression. Lars-Henrik Schmidt is a philosophy professor at Aarhus University’s Faculty of Arts.
