The
issue of humor in education is as old as Adam, nevertheless it is permanently
re-examined and updated.
Beyond the principles of a modern and student-centred
school, for several educators (and even for some parents), the classical image
of school is one that embodies absolute seriousness (while the image of the
learning effort doesn’t seem to have much in common with a class that laughs or
with students that always keep a smile on their faces).
Many a time, humour in a school activity is confounded with superficiality (I even heard at some point how a parent, being revolted against the laughing sounds that came from his child’s class, pointed out: ʽIs this school or amusement?ʼ)
