ABSTRACT
This article aims to present a discussion about the contours of teaching speech and action in our society. The reflection is conducted and inspired by the narrative of a teacher who, at the beginning of the 20th century, decides to publicize her experience in schools in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. These experiences are transformed into a book entitled O calvário de uma professora (The Calvary of a Teacher, 1928). Guided by contributions from philosophy and psychoanalysis in education, the arguments developed here seek to examine the implications, for the teaching profession and its speech, of an education understood as a manufacturing activity, governed by a technocratic logic, which rejects the fragility and imponderability inherent to educational action.
