Can Pearls Be Whitened



I finished listening to an interview he has granted to Stephen Andreas Formiconi Balassone on RED TV. Here is a link to the video, still viewable on the blog of a professor: http://www.redtv.it/video/2508.
reflects, I think, the thought of so many of us teachers that we realize what the school is moving away from the world to which we should prepare and to finding ways to mediate between these two possible so they can quickly (and I think it will be difficult ) to be reflected back into each other.
If we chose this profession with passion and we do, we can not remain indifferent to the fact that more and more to go to school for most children is a burden borne better or worse, but still a burden. One of my former student who this year will support the scientific maturity, intelligent and gifted young man with whom are in regular contact through Facebook, argued with me that can not wait to leave behind the high school where he claims to have "lost five years time "! to study "useless material"!.
"I do not know English because the teacher knows what me (!), History and Latin are a scary beard, an Italian I have to write words about words, following tracks that I do not feel my chemistry and biology would be interesting but if we could work in the laboratory, the figures look book is not much, at least math is fun, the exercises are always changing ...". I have not been able to deny nor have I heard the words of this boy, but something has to change and fast!
Professor Formiconi has tried we are trying and claims to have excellent feedback, students learn and, to quote his blog, change.
not what we all want to be teachers?
So yes to the constraints of ministerial programs (those not escape possimo ), but also to the renewal of our educational interventions, our way of relating with the kids to learn to listen well and be able to know how they communicate and what they really need to grow up in this world. The experience of
IUL, in my case was important because it allowed me to do self-criticism and offered me the opportunity to learn innovative teaching tools and especially to experience a real cooperation between equals.
E 'by which we learn and, above all, do not forget and so that' it is necessary to work with our students. If we find ourselves in trouble, we will learn with them and this will be a success, not a defeat.
Good communication and conveys content that is not the goal that we aim to be teachers?
