I, and nobody is going to be amazed, I am extremely critical of our educational model and the school system. However I know that many good teachers the skin is left so that Spanish children have an approach to culture and thought, taking work home, continuously training and worrying day by day of the little ones.
A couple of days ago, a Facebook friend made a reminder for those wonderful teachers who take work home every night and extend their workday to try to help children live in a better world and school.
Surely our readers enjoyed one of those good teachers in their childhood and now, hopefully, they can find them in their children's school education. They open our minds, teach us new things, show us the wonderful diversity and complexity of the world, and accompany us respectfully and empathically. They are very important people although little recognized.
But the good teachersI always say that they should charge more than a minister, because the future of society and the welfare of children depends to a large extent on them.
I remember Maria Teresa, my history teacher, with whom I could not clash more politically and religiously, but who taught me to love the past and to understand what influences the present and the future. She was a good teacher, and she respected me and loved me. I am greatly grateful.
I also remember my first school, which used an alternative pedagogy, mixed us by age, learned by projects, let us investigate and be free in an environment suitable for our growth. My teachers in that school were also special people dedicated to their work. They influenced me a lot.
This post is for them, to recognize their work, their dedication, their love. I do not like the little empathic, rigid teachers, who do not recycle and continue to apply old-fashioned punishments and pedagogical methods, harming children. But the good teachers I consider them very important.
Surely our readers also have good memories of the good teachers who taught them or are teaching their children. Let us share these experiences.
