2012

Today, the challenge is write about a strange and some weird lapse of time wich was the  first semester of the 2012.

Strange because we started with  only one month of vacations at the body  and that`s was so boring and exhausted. Second, we tried to standing up the energies of movilitization wich they had been lost with the summer. In this sense was weird it found with a faculty relaxed and out of the context of the last year. That`s was  shocking to a level politic.

However, the class that we have had were interesting and deep teoretically and we commenced to go into in the real problems of our career, the Anthropology.

 In the personal level although, I would had prefeer do excercises not only whit the brain but I was tryng to solve this problem. I think that the future year I come back to swim. I hope have time to take out of their rest my lazy muscles but I had many parties with my old friends and my group of mad friends of the university.

Education: TO NOT BE ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL!

  

The conference Do schools kill creativity? dictated by Kenneth Robinson in 2006 is an echo that shows the problems that modern education systems drags throughout the world and it  has direct links with the climate of discontent and demonstrations.in the context of Chile.

The author reveals the central points of the modern crisis which are the stigmatization of the mistakes, the development of one type of intelligence and the introduction of economic logics in student’s education.

The first point I think is relevant in the global analysis because it reveals a practice that occurs in all areas in which mistakes are seen as a negative feature and not as an act that is part of the growth process by which children learn and they draw lessons from experience. This section eliminates the trial and error phase, being displaced by the pathological need for efficiency and speed imposed by the economic system.

The second point illustrates well how the range of human activities has been reduced, focusing only on intellectual development, leaving aside the manual and physical work. . Man is conceived like a caged animal that has no chance to show, maximize and value their talents, restricting to a minimum area of ​​capacity.

The school also directs, in the third point, his education plan in the interests of the labor market for the creation of skills that will be useful to the world economy. Children are constrained to their natural instincts.

Therefore, I am in total agreement with Sir Robinson is necessary to restructure the education that enhances the many different talents of each student to create an integrated citizen living happy and full of different ways to face reality and understand it. It is ultimately aspire to real pluralism. Alternatively, as a personal suggestion, is not to dismiss self-taught. The knowledge may also emanate from you.
