Jelly Bracelets Meanings 2010
MAE, religion and other nonsense
It speaks of excellence. We are told that we must help our students realize their potential. We try to convince with arguments as demagogic and populist, and suddenly, there is a majority-and uncritical assent "to a subject that you forget some major obstacles to the course grade of excellence. And no, we will speak of the practical impediments (already listed in a previous post), but how the actual curriculum of compulsory bet, no doubt, by the non-excellence. How we work so that our students are increasingly uncritical, less creative and somewhat less free.
One of the keys of the problem is, of course, in the survival of religion in public education and the consequent waste of hours that entails. A scourge unjustifiable and maintaining power through fear of the church in what they say-that is supposedly a secular state. As it is a qualifying course, would not this indoctrination had high relevance in the bulletins of the pupils, you must also create alternatives for those not evaluable not want to undertake. And thus arises an idea of \u200b\u200bthe kind that only someone who can design educational talk from a podium or from an office, but-of course-not in a classroom.
The idea was called MAE (Measures of attention to the study) and is missing a or two hours depending on the courses, a week in order to "nobody knows for sure, of course, provide study skills and learning for our students. Of course, in more than one site, this becomes continuous and systematic viewing of how much film exists in the video library of the center or, in the most troubled schools, and I know first-hand examples, in a continuous parade of teachers between desks to avoid literally the students to raise or attack others.
intend-beautiful utopia that these students we meet in a subject that they will not have any academic consequences. A claim that is as ridiculous as saying that if supposedly responsible adults and we are aware, given the choice between one hour unpaid work or not work, choose the latter, even when we know the fact of not attending the job will not have any negative consequences. Funny how the media talk about the culture of effort when applied to adolescents and how, however, encourage the counter culture in most of the characters (put the quotation marks you wish) who continually give undeserved " relevant.
Those hours we give away for the ESO to religion and his inane Alternatively, the MAE (obviously well-intentioned but ineffective history and culture of religions, which, again, the lack of skills becomes an absurdity from the practical point of view) is the remainder to other materials that are no longer living in a second, but third level in our educational system:
- These are hours that could expand the battered education program Physics, relegated to two miserable sessions per week, where only students can form, which explains, among many other reasons-the lack of sports training in our country, so little support from the education field. Not to mention how much exercise is necessary in those centers where we want seven, eight or nine students spend six or seven hours cloistered, quiet, seated, serving and churning like a replicating factory concerned.
- These are hours that could be returned to the subjects of art and music education, both continuously battered and relegated to only two of the four courses that make up the ESO. Then we are surprised, even indignant, when surveys are done in certain ways to demonstrate that our youth do not know who Mahler or not identify a single painting by Picasso. The funny thing is that this ignorance is not his fault, but a system that aims to train for it, and often also of parents who wash their hands just as many teachers, of any training that is outside the to-mean-their children receive in the classroom.
Thus, blindly assuming we designate church and believing that it is normal for a secular state assumes the presence of religion in the classrooms of public schools. Not to mention the amusing detail that those teachers have not gone through a competition like that do we have lived the rest of the staff, but designated more, say, directly, by criteria which, as the divine-are inscrutable .
want, they say, get an education excellence. But artistic excellence. Or sports. Or cultural. Or literary. Nor scientific. No. They want to "clear" that promotes excellence segregation, elitism and that, in passing, let them keep playing with the public thanks to those teachers who hate their jobs and would be delighted to take out of their classrooms to students "stupid" to be limited to just bore the "peaceful" than for his stoic bearing of the teacher talks turn, must be called to the highest of excellence.

Putas Lindas Mexicanas Follando
Readings also shared ... celebrating our friends books
ideas for class activities ELE:
invites you to a "feast of readings" where each one comes with one of his discoveries to share ...
Here's mine - Indignaos! Stéphane Hessel - I bought it on Saturday at the airport of Las Palmas.
Here are, for meditation, some excerpts:
"I wish you all every one of you, that you have your reason for outrage. It is a precious value. When something as unworthy Nazism unworthy me, you become someone militant, strong and committed. You become part of that tide of history, and must follow the mainstream thanks to everyone. This current trend towards greater justice, more freedom, but not to the uncontrolled freedom of the fox in the henhouse. Those rights, whose program includes the Universal Declaration of 1948, are universal. If you meet someone not to get them, compadecedlo and assist him to conquer. "
" Certainly, the reasons to be indignant today may seem blurred or the world, too complex. Who's the Boss?, Who decides? is not always easy to distinguish among all flows that govern us. It is no longer a small elite whose wiles understand perfectly. It's a vast world, and we realize that it is interdependent. We live in an interconnectivity as has never existed. But there are things in this world unbearable. To see this, we must look good, look.
I tell young people: seek a little, you shall find. The worst attitude is indifference, saying "step away from everything, I make do." If you behave well, you lose one of the essential components that make the man. One of the essential components: the power of outrage and commitment that follows.
We can identify two new challenges:
1) The huge gap between the very poor and very rich, not rising. It is an innovation of the XX and XXI centuries. Those who are very poor just now earn two dollars a day. We can not allow this distance to keep growing.
2) human rights and the state of the planet. "
" You have to understand that violence gives back to hope. Must be given up hope of trust, confidence in nonviolence. It is the way we learn to follow. Both side of the oppressors and the oppressed, we must come to a negotiation that does away with the oppression that is what will allow no terrorist violence. It is for this reason that we should not build so much hatred. The message of a Mandela, a Martin Luther King finds its relevance in a world that has passed the confrontation of ideologies and totalitarianism conqueror. It is a message of hope on the ability of modern societies in order to overcome the conflict through mutual understanding and careful patience. To achieve must be based on rights, the violation, whichever is the author, should provoke our indignation. There can be no compromise on these rights. "

Gallbladder Surgery And Itchy
Happiness Gran Canaria
white daisies, yellow
large fields full of rosemary
verbena, marshmallow, and large lemon
full of laughter play to see who is the first ....
Entry into a ravine from the top
leads with a look ahead
a turbulent sea, is North Sea,
myself among thickets and tuners ...
'm stuck in a small continent
almost appreciate that heat from Teror,
in the body cold and drizzle on my face
Maspalomas enveloping feel to see my body ...
and I can look at the sea bathed
these high mountains, I can almost see the Nublo,
see Playa del Inglés and appreciation to win these high clouds ...
From here, from Artenara I can see the Teide
majestic volcano today gives us the day
with that sea of \u200b\u200bclouds at his feet, barely seen
where you just start my island and where the canyons ...
That God's finger broken by a storm
let us recall that there was someone great
Galdar says with love and dedication
Viva el Gran Canario!, you want to land ...
Since I can see Quarry
away like boats,
gay sailors being
singing to the queen of the night ...
My joy at setting foot on this blessed island,
from my heart longing to return ...
to look at that blue sky,
that God wanted to give the canaries,
for most remote from their dreams
not have to dream, dreams Peninsula.
Why do not you write a little poem with the matter of lived experience?

Having A Pet Platypus
The joy of living
I have my hands full of explosive joy
and brain scanning of memories.
I have a not-I have
Every day they give me one more.
grateful I never tire of
and say I do not understand.
Live day by day, a surprise in mystery.
Live all the miracles in cheap
high in low, pulled
as a shot that was full of flowers.
live with all my heart,
thanking all there
because it exists.
Sometimes you work to earn money.
It costs too much.
And given seems to continue living.

A proposal humanist: Cooperating to learn and learn to cooperate
La_vie_peut_se_d_finir_essentiellement_comme [1] (2) 
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world" Gandhi
This Saturday I will organize a workshop on Cooperative Learning in the Educational Seminar for teachers of English Cultural Service, Embassy of Spain organized in Brussels.
AC My interest arose from the following conclusions that I reached over my years of working as a teacher :
- heterogeneity is not a learning problem but an asset when it is managed as motor and not brake.
- The differences are a mine, we offer an enormous range of possibilities.
- groups with "good chemistry" (in which students are encouraged, help, support ...) learn best;
- can create a positive climate in the group through to exercise social skills in class;
- Most teens do not know how to work in groups, so you have to teach;
- The teacher's task is to observe classroom interactions between students, see how they learn and how the different activities;
- A well designed task becomes invisible to the teacher: the students the teacher can do to leave the classroom without the students realize.
And some questions remaining unanswered:
+ What is it about good chemistry? Ie, what behaviors and attitudes students live among them groups that "feel good" in class? How can it happen? Can ELE classroom teaching?
+ What about the timid who are afraid to talk? And what about those who monopolize the word? And what about those who do not compromise ever?
+ Can you learn to listen?
+ How can we maximize the wealth class of the different ways of learning of each student?
+ How are we going to organize the interactions that have no other choice students to work together?
+ How can we promote individual responsibility of everyone in the team?
The first time I read something about the AC I knew that some of my questions were to find response. With the AC experience in class is really possible to live together, open to others without fear, without giving up what one is, but seeking and accepting the possibility that others offer.
Students build their knowledge actively seeking information, negotiating solutions, dividing the work, sharing ideas, meeting needs, creating a positive social climate that respects diversity, self-assess the objectives, monitoring their own dynamics group, etc.
Here you can see the materials I have prepared for the Day Pedagogical Brussels: Power Point (although all the slides are not good and there are things that have moved to implement the program Scribd) having cooperative learning as a complementary contribution to the task-based approach.
In the booklet "Dynamics for class co-operative" will find different activities that can inspire you for your kind of ELE. This is a work of gathering the fruit of my reading, research and surf the blogosphere.
For those interested in the issue of skills social, you can view the presentation I did during a day of training teachers in my Institute in Belgium. This is a description and classification of the different skills and some suggestions for classroom activities.
