What will happen to a teacher who wants to make school fun and democracy?

One of the stories in my book describes the attitudes and behaviour of a teacher that considers students as full members of human society. He asks them for their opinion before making decisions, he makes them fit to hold lessons themselves and he refuses the process of social exclusion that is produced by the grading system.

He can be sure of the hatred of the director, some wretched teachers and the parents of the local elite. He is fighting for a better school, but there are lots of obstacles in that sweet little net of corruption, tricking and power at the core of the school. So he goes straight ahead on his path to a better future, but will he succeed? Will he find a basis for his ideas? Will he win fighters who help him, other teachers? Will the students have the power to support him? Will he lose his job?

You can find the answer in my smart book of school stories!
