Lying on the basis of a powerful propaganda machine and public relations is the most significant base of this government have always been conflicts in education. The center of gravity lies continually moves from politics to education, economics education, economics, the cultural model of populist TV "I want to be like Pepe" or "En Clave de Ja 'and of the commercial mass culture of television canaria the pressing-catch (a great lie of punches and kicks that excites children) of primary and secondary education.
As you know children, in the pressing-catch attractive is on the fighters. Everyone has a distinct personality, a style that makes children identify more with some than with others. In this case, those who are losing are the teachers: not only have changed public attitudes toward these professionals, but have worsened today comparing the results of a doctoral study in 1992. Then the teaching professionals said that what worried them most were the conflicts with management, lack of resources and loss of prestige, and the lack of a clear policy on time management for their formation.
prestige and salary are two factors closely related studies sociology of the professions. It is clear that the government had not treated the same yardstick unfair wage claims of medical or other group with more power. In fact, in following the doctors' strike some years ago found that one's opinion of the people to "walk the hospital" was in favor of justifying these claims. By the way, that the salary of teachers is another element of the identity crisis that affects them. In all western European countries, the teaching professionals at all levels, pay levels are significantly lower than those of other professionals of the same title.
If changes happen for a social institution, is not about politics. Education is the key. Democracy fiction for national-populist demagogue is to warlordism by reference to the Canarian culture, Willy García dixit, our programs too such as Pepe, Panchita and Panchito that both are having success. Is this the canary in the world talent that nobody knows what it is as fine points Teresa Cardenas in his chronicles about so-called Septenio Canario? But maybe you do know if you look at the retail culture in the dedocracia sopaboba canaria to direct the money into nothing. But in education, for teachers, no money but pressing-catch. The "talent canary is in the daily work of being a teacher in the current social and cultural conditions and not die trying. But the miseries of home few dare to ask or even obliquely set, and that is why we have practically dismantled the Canarian Institute of Statistics, the numbers are not "sing." The three networks
Canary school, private, though private and public, are a reflection of our class society. As in the rest of the country, is the market landscape school. In this scenario, a particular social sector of parents is set much in the type of ethnicity and social centers where they want to send their children. The upper-middle class and upper Canary "put" their children in private and even in private school. The middle class in concert, with the implicit approval of any fees for their children not to mix with immigrants and others. And the rest, without recourse to public schools. To all this, the sad thing is that the government favors Paulino his friends in the private, nurturing teaching is not based on social inclusion, but in social exclusion.
The government and the pack of the Ministry has released their hounds behind the teacher, says nothing about the advantages entraining public school, where there families in greatest need and social disadvantages, economic, cultural and even ethnic. Thanks to teachers and despite the lack of political and ethical quality of the government in better equipping the public, the fate of social cohesion has not reached the horror of social fragmentation. The
and social workers have almost no presence in schools. And counseling services are professionals that need to be shared among many centers that nearly reach the cell division. Meanwhile, during the intermittent absence of these services, the volunteer teacher meets these deficiencies multiplying their roles and functions.
And so on all teachers do to respond to the many social problems which beset the public. And it is the public which in Canary worst passes. Spain, which is among the countries with the highest proportion of students in private schools observed differences across regions: the less economically developed as the Canaries are those with a higher proportion of pupils in public. And the public are none in the conflict in the approval, they have to do almost everything, helping reduce the level of social conflict and lack of social cohesion created by other welfare policies, economics and distribution wealth by the government. The public receives the growing unrest in the Canaries and clears it through social and cultural activities: development of socio-improvement projects, school outings, organizing festivals in the school community, to encourage parents to be involved ... I mean, for those who still do not understand, making invisible work of creating social ties that helps prevent social fragmentation. Thus, it is unlikely that anyone has thought of yet in the great social and political utility teacher. This is only a "foot patio, a" foot in the classroom "to" community walk. " A utility that, like in the movie "A day without Mexicans", where the absence of Mexicans sinking economically to the United States, would do the same if all teachers suddenly disappeared. Then we would realize the perverse political usefulness of the teachers. Do you think this financial sufientes?
