Based on the presupposition that education expresses deeds and changes in society, we consider that formal or non-formal, systemized or non-systemized education is froth with trouble. It is similar to life outside the school. We would like to prove this thesis by analyzing education as an aspect inherent to the contradictory totality of human relationships. This means that education must go beyond the limitations of the particularities of pedagogical practice. A return to classical Greece times, with their poets, philosophers and historians, is an exercise for the understanding of how the struggles and the conflicts of that period, involving society as a whole, invaded education, while doubts and indefinitions on the education practice were raised.
