 Children are full human beings ---- They think, act and learn and can make their

own decisions without adult domination. The manifestations of this domination,
ageism, express themselves in multiple ways and often interact with systems of
domination. We can think of: the famous sexist dress codes aimed at controlling
outfits in high schools; to detention institutes for young people under 18 who
confine and violate their rights under the pretext of making them "adapted"
individuals; to the young Aboriginals who are massively removed from their
families against their will, because "killing the Indian in the child" remains at
the center of the colonial concerns of the system; to the youth of the working
and popular classes for whom equality of opportunity with that of the bourgeois
class is a chimera; to the over-medicalization and violence suffered by young
neurodivergents and neurodivergents to force them to bow before the domination of
neuronormativity or even to the more than alarming suicide rates and social
rejection that still affect young LGBTQ+ people. In all these manifestations,
young people are considered as beings who are only in the process of becoming and
who must be inculcated with a whole host of things from the adult world. We could
instead try to understand them, make their questions about an unequal and
dehumanizing world our own, to which we adults have on the contrary adapted too
much, and then also seek to build together - think, act and learn together.
without crushing them - by admitting, in all humility, that children are our only
future.

Children are world makers

Children participate in the world around us. They weave social relationships,
shape meaningful collective narratives, and their efforts to transform society
are just as valid as those of adults. Their curiosity and imagination must be
able to extend beyond the courses prescribed by educational or moral authorities.
Like adults, they need power over their lives, freedom. Experimental trial and
error and discovery are part of learning responsibility and autonomy. It is not a
question of magically removing adults from children's lives, but rather of
redefining the social relationships that are woven to allow more freedom and
equality, while combating physical violence, sexual and psychological factors
that contribute to the reproduction of a specific form of domination. A simple
change of culture or education will not be enough to transform a society based on
so many systems of domination. On the other hand, in the worlds that children
make, we can certainly draw ideas and tools for social revolution.

Children philosophize and we can explain to them social relations and the world
of ideas

School, education and parenthood are deeply imbued with social relations and the
dominant ideas of their society. "Neutrality" is most often the mask that hides
the ideologies of the status quo. This is what the Ministry of Education, for
example, requires of teaching staff. We don't have to pretend that we live in an
enchanted world, but rather that human beings are capable of the best and the
worst. Nor do we have to produce "model children" according to our criteria and
beliefs. Each child has their own individuality and their own abilities and
interests. She or he blossoms and develops her thinking about the world in her
own way. Without taking control of his thoughts away from him,
