Jørn Bjerre skriver: ”Denne uddannelsesalkymistiske tanke – at udvikling handler om at smelte teori om til praksis – er igennem hele læreruddannelsens historie blevet brugt til at sætte nytænkning i stå.”
The idea that practice is to do what we in theory is thinking, is an obstacle against new ideas and action. Theory is not alchemy. Theory can not turn lead into gold, bring human into paradise, make human immortal, or turn practice into a unchangeable existence.
