We make a distinction between school processes and educational processes. This enables us to understand the different characteristics, strengths and limitations of the previous processes. We think that failure in schools is mainly due to not realizing that educational processes normally flow in an easy and self-organized manner. These educational processes are simple, but at the same time, they are very complex. On the contrary, school processes (more superficial and difficult) disturb the teaching and learning processes.
