Bøger af Christian Hjortkær

Forbindelsen til livet og til livsoplysningen blev et særkende for højskolen, der således kom til at stå i modsætning til den eksamenstunge latinskole. Læringen skal drives af lyst, ikke af pensum, karak¬terer og eksamen. Lene Tanggaard sætter den eksa¬mensfrie skole under lup, og fire fortællinger viser, hvordan buddet realiseres i højskolens praksis. De er skrevet af Christian Hjortkjær, Thomas Vigild, Kachi A. Ozumba og Lars Hazelton.

Links to life and to enlightenment for living became a characteristic of the folk high school and placed it in direct opposition to the traditional so-called ‘Latin’ school, with its heavy emphasis on exams. Learning should be driven by the desire to learn, not by a syllabus, by grades or exams. Lene Tanggaard submits the exam-free school to careful analysis, while four accounts from a range of viewpoints reveal how this lesson is realised in folk high school practice.
