Used Book – Trapper Teacher, why not?: When nature re-enchants school, Philippe Nicolas, Isabelle Peloux

After a summer spent by the Varenne river in the company of trout and salmon, Philippe Nicolas realizes the extent to which the severing of our ties with nature represents a genuine threat to humanity. From there, this school teacher undertakes to deploy his discoveries and draws applications for his classroom management at the foot of large urban housing estates. This "trapper teacher," as he defines himself, invites us to re-enchant school through a holistic education of the five senses. He advocates a school of elements open to the world and connected to nature so that children, once adults, feel responsible for life and open to its possibilities. At a time of global warming, the author proposes nothing less than to agree to live simply and in harmony with the Living. A kind of logbook, this is a profound and comprehensive manifesto served by passionate, poetic, and philosophical writing and illustrated with numerous photos of class outings. An ode to joy, freedom, cooperation, and nature.
