WHAT'S HAPPENING? I chose to trust

Today in all media were scenes of violence by a student toward a teacher. I was perplexed. Then I saw a picture of a weeping father and a mother trying to apologize. I felt shame and embarrassment. Those scenes
traveled the globe in a few moments. What's happening?
-education comes from home-some claim. "The teacher was unable to set limits," argued another. "The students wanted to attract attention," He said some other-
And I was thinking about that teacher. What is now at home? Surely
crying. Because the moments I wish anyone who lived, while a student verbally and physically assaulted her, mocked, pushed, yanked ... There was another shot with a cellphone at all, that showed the images. And there were over twenty teenagers who attended the scene with complete silence, without intervening, without speaking, not played for anybody ... That silence, the lack of solidarity, commitment, that not play, not to get , attitudes were also concerned me.
I felt that this was anything but a classroom, a team. Too bad, I thought to myself, how much time and knowledge in the trash!
What would have done if I were the teacher? Which situation so hard! I would not let things get to that point. If I suddenly had been without authority, it is assumed that any institution should have a manager who can help, to put it in some way, in the latter case had left the classroom and called the authority, before allowing a student, tall and strong he was, came to pull; think unconsciously she let the situation reach this point and somehow helped to provoke. At no time tried to speak, and with that student or the group, whose silence was also a participant in the assault.
We are in the XXI century and the era of communication, and that's something to be account and taken seriously. We can not put knowledge in the heads of guys like crumpled paper in a trash can.
I noticed that she intended to give his subject as an obligation, but without attempting to connect to the group.
also noticed her fear and insecurity. Fear to act.
Why so scared? Those kids will be so scary? What
had, you mother or father in their place?
I'm sure that teenager cries out here, but times are short, now is great and measures six feet. Parents are limited to mourn or apologize when it is too late, instead of letting the students themselves take charge of their offense. No
child trauma given a slap on time, or is it not us that gave us some time and today we are deeply grateful to our parents, who were able to correct it in time?
Thank God I got my slap on time, and made sure that my children receive necessary. Never spent an embarrassment because of them, however, are men and women of good, love me and fill me with pride.
I sympathize with the teachers, but at the same time I feel sorry for so much time, effort and knowledge thrown into the trash.
While teachers and students must remain unknown to some, and others receive a specific curriculum, a certain content and nothing more, while not achieved establishments create groups of people working together, we will make it increasingly uphill education at all.
These adolescents, rather than a brilliant exposition were asking their abuse, their cries, their indifference, their silence, reflection, a real conversation, in short, lacking teacher-student fellowship in the classroom.
really is not something easily achieved. It's the hardest of our profession, but certainly what most fills our soul and makes us all really grow.
