Archive for the ‘student unions’ Category

The pages of the newspapers have been filled, along with images of television news, teachers “outraged” with cuts in education budgets in several regions. Unions, housewives, “student unions” and other herbs have been added, with evident joy, demonstrations, pans (sic) and other street demonstrations.

Very few, almost no one at the beginning of the debate, they remembered of, for example, 3,000 interim to the Community of Madrid will not renew its precarious contract (true, often achieved by way nepotism) this year (remember them indignation, the first employer is insecure PAs in Spain, not the companies), have talked about all the unjust, fascist, neoliberal, and so on., which is working more.

Many, many have spoken of the quality (sic) of education in Spain, the Spain of Belen Esteban, is Spain with the dropout rate overwhelmed, this Spain with the rate of school failure Guinness record, this Spain that rear positions licks a Portuguese who wears shorts in the end, you know: the quality of education in Spain.

The results obtained in recent years cannot be more disappointing, yes; we have achieved equality between the pessimistic “public” and “private.” Investments do not call them expenses, brutal in education (again, in education) have not had the expected result that we hear much talk of “the best educated generation in history of Spain” A milk! They are those who have had more opportunities, more amenities, more support, more resources and more titles, but appear to also have the least advantage of all this, we are able to undertake, who want to be mostly officers, who despise …, well not appreciate the effort and doing banner of “… because you deserve it …”

Instruction in Spain must adapt to current economic times, like everything else, setting priorities, of course, between which, for example, could be Castillo La Mancha not give textbooks to all children, even if their parents have 1.6 million Euros as the illustrious Don Joseph castellanomanchegos Bono (who has children of school age). They are also disposable electronic displays, luxuries of 5,000 Euros, which contribute little to the instruction, when used as the old chalk (and that does not mean depriving students of knowledge and use of information technology, much less). In primary and basic education, teaching over 2 hours just assume no previous work, unless the teacher is a worthy representative of the Spanish youth reality, i.e., an uneducated. A few hours ago I had a teacher in a school Cantabrian concluded that the “contact hours” per week were 30 teachers during the course. No comments.

Of course with teachers precarious, especially concerned to make ends meet (like the old, impoverished and despised school teachers of the nineteenth and early twentieth century), we will not have quality instruction. Teachers, like any professional needs to cover its factors “hygiene” of personal life, but must also undergo periodic testing and strict, you must update their knowledge and needs, I know that sounds fascist, be an example of life for students. And if you do not like to devote to something else. Like football must submit to the dictatorship of the anti-violence and its players and coaches should be punished, I would say fiercely, when they use violence, the message and the example they set for youth and society, something happens with our teachers, their own performance must be in the public and visible example of maturity, accuracy, balance and work.

I sincerely doubt to give two hours a week on basic studies is to lower the quality of teaching, I think that quality is very low by an excess of carpe diem by parents, teachers, and more right, students. Do I need much mentoring, support group as well shop does not know what….? Would not it be better ….?: Teaching how to fish, that is, teaching study, combining the necessary memory with the essential reasoning, teach and practice the culture of effort, returning to the recognition of the best (with the support they can need some more push, reconsider civility (simple rules of conduct) as a discipline, reducing the subjects most basic aspects, will be high-minded, redneck changing the average knowledge of history and geography, to change the language and local dialects for a fully bilingual school Castilian and English, introducing new technologies rational information (not to play the “play”) to involve parents, but leaving the reins to the teachers, listening to students but delaying their right decide until maturity, young, permits …. there are so many things that are not two hours or so of class.

Or Spain regains its clarity, in this and many other things, or going to hit us even more. It seems incredible that you must listen to Perez (has parent) Rubalcaba promise that when a company is legal at one point in Spain does not have to redo papers to sell or act in another position But do not see that this is pine wood box and if so, what is not, we were, we are mad as authentic goats? Welcoming the proposal, hopefully Raja Bray not only support but carried to term. Duran Lerida pissed off, of course.
