Abstract | This paper presents a Marxist reply to a philosophical discourse on the role of the "progressive" teacher in the education of children. The position under attack is that teachers themselves, no matter how progressive, are a part of the social hierarchy and impose middle class values on children, thus perpetuating the system. They are, in brief, one of the "enemy" to the true radical. The argument is made that it is desirable to join progressive teachers with marxists through active trade unions, using the best potential of all to change the system. An association of the practice-oriented progressive teacher with the theory-oriented socialist will help resolve the gap of understanding between the two and aid in the development of a socialist, revolutionary, educational praxis.
