Silence, Public Education, Teaching Profession, Teachers’ DisquietAbstract
In this essay, I seek to reflect, from an autobiographical and critical voice, on silence, the fear of causing discomfort, and the ethical responsibility to speak out, particularly in the field of education. Drawing on personal experiences and the current political context, the
essay denounces the growing discrediting of public education and
the teaching profession, fueled by ultraliberal and far-right discourses. It examines how control, distrust, and censorship create an anti-pedagogical climate that inhibits teaching practice. In response, writing and speech emerge as acts of resistance, community, and collective transformation.
