This essay aims to develop an effort to share a provisional result of a reading of the work of Jacques Rancière. First, some problems that his version of the paradoxes of equality introduce in egalitarian pedagogical thought are analyzed. Second, an interpretation of what an "ignorant teacher" can do is offered. Finally, the essay undertakes an estimation of the resources that the notion of the equality of intelligences - under the names of undocility and freedom - can offer contemporary pedagogy.
