In this paper we will try to demonstrate that the educational institution is a cultural artifact, a living entity that also develops a different way of teaching. We will try to imagine another type of school where interpersonal relations are also a teaching aim; a school that goes from being obsessed with teaching for PISA testing to a school that, in addition to transmitting knowledge, is devoted to educating for life: i.e. a cooperative school (García, Traver & Candela, 2001; Parra & Peña, 2012), and we will describe the process of that change.
