Today I am thinking of the weight bearing on their shoulders a teacher.
The teacher must attend to the diversity, adapt content for each of their students. Should be taken to update their daily activities, annual project, as well as side projects, personalized monitoring, daily attendance records, school events, daily corrections, assessments, curricular, breaks, control of documentation, staff meetings, meetings parents, school board, among other endless tasks. Everything
responsibility, to the best possible way, reading, reports, studies, taking courses and workshops and willingness to work.
How easy it seems all that!
should hear him say that if you should work on that to devote to something else, which is not irresponsible, to stop "damaging the education of children" with their claims insistenes ...
There's something always comes to light, especially from the authorities, and must endure the discomfort that many Argentine teachers in their classrooms.
Little is said about the abuse they undergo every day for some students. Do not learn, or rather do not want to know, that often the teacher who prepared their class-time, seeking the best strategy, suddenly finds himself with students who act so bad, abusing peers and teachers, putting them in situations of limited and often ridiculous.
Who remembers the teacher? Who cares if it feels wrong or right?
There must be to explain, understand, understanding, care, comfort, control.
There he placed the child to be protected, what educated, attend and watch, well, it hold.
There are one hundred dollars or so that will make a good living in the public schools, where children converge committed to their own education and sometimes end up being neglected and discriminated against by those others who only come because they need the plate food diary that the school gives them, besides their own and unconscious need to download the resentment and sense of failure that causes the perverse distribution of wealth and power, hunger, hygiene, health, alcoholism, crime, promiscuity ... the full weight of social inequality, all the hatred of broken dreams, all the anxiety and indifference that cause them and education standards, when you first must address the lack of safety footwear, clothing, abuse, neglect, homelessness ... Who can
care that today's teacher should wipe all those tears, mitigate those wounds, take charge of all trouble smoothing society?.
The teacher is not a superhero, the teacher is not super powerful.
The master of a human being who suffers and in the throes of love, hate and pain of their students, in the midst of the wickedness of society, the demands and indolence.
The teacher of today, it hurts my soul indifference.
