Abstract: The hegemonic position of verbal text in formal education is in this article questioned. The increasing\nneed for competence related to complex visual communication is seen in relation to the education of\nyoungster to develop citizenship for future challenges. Traditions and attitudes in education of\nchildren and youngsters (aged 6-12) is discussed in perspective of a teacher attitude I have chosen to\ncall “Resistance to Teaching Drawing” (RTTD). This RTTD-attitude is seen as a hindrance for the\ndevelopment of design literacy for the future. By articulating the ideas of which this RTTD-attitude is\ngrounded, the position of the attitude might be reduced in practical education of children and\nyoungsters.
