All Adult Educators are Citizens, Not All Citizens are Adult Educators: A Response to Ian Baptiste
Abstract
This article proposes a counter-argument to Ian Baptiste's "Beyond Reason and Personal Integrity: Towards a Pedagogy of Coercive Restraint" (CJSAE, 14(1), May, 2000). I argue that we must make a fundamental distinction between the adult educator (who must never use violent means to attain particular ends) and the citizen (who is faced with risky choices that may require, in extraordinary circumstances, violent actions). Once persons don the robe of the adult educator, they must seek to enlighten the other, and engage in non-violent, educative acts whenever possible. Under no circumstance can adult educators use coercion, deception or manipulation to achieve educational purposes.
RésuméCet article propose un contre-argument a celui de Ian Baptiste, dans son article "Beyond Reason and Personal Integrity: Toward a Pedagogy of Coercive Restraint" (RCÉÉA, 14(1), Mai, 2000). Je conteste que nous devonsfaire une distinction essential entre l'éducateur d'adulte (qui doit jamais recourir a la violence pour atteindre leurs resutats particulier) et le citoyen (qui, face a des situations extraordinaires, et des choix risqué, peuvent mérité la violence). Des que les personnes portent la robe de formation permanente, ils doivent cherchez a avancer les autres, et engager, quand possible, les actes éducatifs non-violents. En aucun cas doivent les éducateurs en formation permanente se permettre d'utiliser la violence, la déception ou la manipulation pour atteindre leurs huts pédagogiques.
