This article presents arguments in order to understand better the difficulties that the teachers experience when communicating in crisis conditions. It aims to offer ideas able to establish connections between the triad educate, think and dialogue; to do so, it shows what each of those terms mean, and then presents the relations that ensuefrom leaning on the following epistemologicalprinciples: identity, dialectical and dialogical. The final purpose is to pave the way towards a different way to educate that does not exclusively explains, issue releases or despise students. The emphasis is put on struggling with the in force common sense that opposes in a black-and-white setting, for instance, modern vs. traditional. The conclusions have as purpose to motivate to a certain commitment towards Utopia, to the triad educate-think-dialog. The article presents problems and does not offer certainty, since it challenges the existing relations between educate, dialog and think and offer some proposals to think about them and, if necessary, to take them up again.
