TEACHERS VICTIMS OF BULLYING

TEACHERS VICTIMS OF BULLYING

One of the topics seen during classes with Mr. Litman was "Teachers victims of bullying".

This is a BIG problem teachers have to face everyday nowadays. It happens inside the classrooms where respect and values of the students have disapeared.

As a future teacher I think it is a very important topic that should be trat on schools and maybe this way, teacher would be better prepared to face these kinds of behaviours because all we can hear is:

" teachers have to be respectful"

"teachers should not punish students!

"Teachers should do this, teachers should do that..."

But What are student's duties in the classroom?

Do not they have to respect teachers too??

Yes... It should be don't you think??

Students are the untouchables but who protects teacher??

We need a teacher's hero hahahaha

Musica Sepúlveda V/S Mónica Jimenez

It is incredible how a called DIALOGUE can change from one second to other...

Today we talked about what hapopened with this student and the Ministry of Education...images say everything. I think everybody has the right to say what they thing and express what theu feel but it seems like this student did not remember what education was it self...unfortunately Mónica, who is the Ministry of Education, had to come across with this ashamed escenario.

I think it is a pity to have students that even studing do not learn anything about respect and rules...

I just have a question now..Where was her mother???

Wooow.. no I remember she was supporting her daughter.. there is a very used phrase... De tal palo tal astilla...

How can you say that in English??

Maybe Musica would say WATER!!

hahaha

Just write your comments.

CURFEW for teenagers, an idea that works??

I think it can work...but not only rules grow up children...they need more than everything the precense of their parents and also they need to have communication !!!!

that is the clue I think....

Here i found a website that you can visit and check for more information.

These are some TIPS taken from there...Personally I think parents HAVE TO have the control of the situation and not the other side.

TIPS:

http://parentingteens.about.com/cs/disciplin1/a/curfewtips.htm

Do set an appropriate blanket curfew. You can always add or restrict this time when they have something special to do or you need them to be home earlier.
Do not allow them to just walk out the door and say I'll see you at such and such a time. They still should tell you where they are going and call in if their plans change.
Do allow some lead way on special occasions such as proms.
Do not allow them to call 1/2 hour before they are to be in to ask if they can sleep over at a friends. This is generally a red flag saying 'something is up'.
Do set a reasonable time for all involved. If you would like to get some sleep before midnight on a friday evening, then set the time for 11 pm.
Do not get sucked into what 'everyone else is allowed to do'.

Differences between Schools

Private vs. Public Schools: What's the Difference?

Anybody's goal is to find a school that will meet your child's needs.

But how do you choose between a public school and a private school?

Cost

Public schools cannot charge tuition. They are funded through federal, state and local taxes. When you pay your taxes, you are paying for your child's education and the education of other children in your community.
Private schools cost money. Private schools do not receive tax revenues, but instead are funded through tuition, fundraising, donations and private grants. According to the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the median tuition for their member private day schools in 2005-2006 in the United States was close to $14,000 for grades 1 to 3, $15,000 for grades 6 to 8 and $16,600 for grades 9 to 12. The median tuition for their member boarding schools was close to $29,000 for grades 1 to 3, $32,000 for grades 6 to 12. Note that of the 28,384 private schools in the United States, about 1,058 are affiliated with NAIS. The Digest of Education Statistics 2005 from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports that for the 1999-2000 school year, the average private school tuition was about $4,700.
Parochial schools generally charge less. According to the National Catholic Educational Association, in their annual statistical report in 2005-2006, the average elementary school tuition for Catholic schools (in 2005) was $2,607; the average freshman tuition (for 2002-2003) was $5,870. Catholic Schools enroll more students (49%) than any other segment of private schools.

Admissions

Public schools admit all children. By law, public schools must educate all children, including students with special needs. To enroll in a public school you simply register your child by filling out the necessary paperwork.
Private schools are selective. They are not obligated to accept every child, and in many private schools admission is very competitive.

Here in chilke we also have some similar differences that my classmates explained, that is why I chosen this differences,...to have a general vew about it...

I think differencves are terrible....

it should be the same for all of us...

What diffferences could you add???

PS: Look at the picture...if you want to know more you can read this book.

Pre-universitary courses in Chile

This presentation was made by Marlene, Paula and Claudio.

They explained what pre-Universitary are saying that these are:

"institutions focused to prepare students to face the PSU (prueba de selección universitaria)"

They showed us different alternatives ans also gave us usefull information about different prices students have to pay in different institutions.

Eg: CEPECH, PEDRO DE VALDIVIA AND FECH.

Some people need them, some of them don't...

I think it depends of every person but maybe it is also an instance to mature....many students feel not prepared to face universities or to chose a carreer.

Did you take a course like this before enter university?

CaN AnyOnE Be TeaCheRs?

CaN AnyOnE Be TeaCheRs?

That is the big question...

Felipe, Fernanda and Diego presented this topic.

First of all they started giving some of information about Finland ands South of Korea where good jobs and teacher's qualifications are a result of high student's scores.

Then this group talked about "Red Maestros de Maestros", created to make the teaching practice and performance stronger than nowadays.

To finish with this presentation they made a debate the following question...

CaN AnyOnE Be TeaCheRs?

Personally I think that everybody has skills to teach...maybe not as teachers but everybody has tought something during their lives...but I think that the difference is when you like teaching and you do it happily...

I also think that Universities shopuld include a Vocational test for teachers or future teachers..a psicological test, because students are not robots, they have feelings and sometimes people who think they can teach...can not...

CUBAN Education

Education in Cuba has been another major accomplishment of the Revolution. Before it, education was unavailable to over half of Cuban children.

In 1960, the revolutionary government began a war on illiteracy. Where nearly a quarter of the population hadn't been able to read before, the campaign ended with an illiteracy rate of 3%.
Nowadays compulsory education through the ninth grade exists in Cuba. From there, students can choose what they want to do next.

Cuban students have always been enthusiastic about their education. The effects of the Special Period and tourism are having some negative effect on this.
Some students choose to go to a pre-collegiate school, technical school, or none at all. If they graduate from the college preparatory school, they can attend college for free if they choose.
Around 7% of the population has graduated from college and 4% have degrees. In addition, there are 1.3 million graduates of technical schools in Cuba.

Like in other countries, students compete for the best educational opportunities. Testing is done to spot talented students.
In many rural areas, students attend BOARDIN SCHOOLS. At these schools, students work are required to perform agricultural or some other form of manual labor in addition to their studies.

What do you think about this?
