Zakotwiczyć szkołę w bycie
Set school within reality

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a thesis that contemporary school should be a community of paradoxically formulated goals and ways of their realizations and evaluation in which subjects face each other not exactly as equal, since it may only be ‘unfair equality’ (considering absolute variation of human existence), though as ‘honestly unequal’ ones (considering individually motivating process of discovering real needs, aspirations and possibilities). In short, fair can only be equal game rules and the opportunity to participate in various games (for less and more advanced). It must be stated clearly however that equality does not condition real justice, though justice conditions the same game rules and occurrence of various games. Honest is what seems proportional to needs, aspirations and abilities of all subjects of education game (perhaps with a slight surplus). Paradoxically, as M. Heidegger shows, perfect equality and identity feed on mediocrity, distance and indifference, where impersonal tone set up dictatorship. As a result, ‘univocal’ school community becomes a place of ‘average talk and writing’ and superficial curiosity and schizophrenic actions (realizing official and unofficial programs). Perhaps, we shouldreturn to B.F. Trentowski school formula of ‘multi-vocal community’.
