WHY DIFFERENT THEN?
Being different is part of ourselves, part of the rich diversity, then why we are somehow classifying people for being different, it is very clear at institutions now, the question is :"Are we ready to face how different we are from the other and mainly accept ourselves as we are.?"
I do feel I need to write about this, some months ago I saw how my PLN was getting differences in big names about being genders and that stuff, and currently it touched my own particular side, we are being created with that need to do things better than the other, and compare how different we are, I do know there is a subject about values and principles at schools, now it comes to my mind the question if we the rest of teachers who do not teach that subject are we helping that signle and alone subject by implementing something for contributing in our planning,?
There are million of learners who spend more time with us than with their parents,no doubt about it. We cannot deny it, it is like that, I am not a mother, but I cannot imagine my kid being envolving in such a teaching, we need to teach united, we do not play from differet teams colleagues, we play for the same team that is called: EDUCATION, perhaps many can say I have enough at home, have to make lessons ,presentations, mark all days, prepare material, rubrics and so on, now I would you like to ask ourselves a question honestly in your meditation space : Are we aware about that responsibility from us? Yes, they are not our kids, we have ourselves stuff, but then who cares about this, who cares about bullying, about self respect, self control, autonomy, who parents? It would the most awesome answer but parents pay that school with two jobs in many times and the time does not play a good job for them.
Trying to get flashbacks I decided to go to 2014 first time when an educator posted the story of myself when I was a very young teacher, and I got the memories of all changes I wanted to do, and it is frustanting for many of us because we cannot change a system of preparing kids for international exams with some CLIL to make the idea everything is going to be a dream lesson, but we are very aware we are not doing that, we wouldn't like to make less paper work , and all documments that are only papers at the end, because we do feel our kid is not learning meaningful and there are no times for working in projects or we don't all have the same technlogy as others, it is horriby frustrating to see what we do want what we know how it should be but we just can not.
Any suggestions?
Once I took an online course and my mentor was Ms. Penny Ur , I got very surprised and fascinated when she told us (teachers) fusilade the book, the book cannot fusilade our own creativity, cannot be more than our love for changing this ,but again how we could do it.. if we are not united. I am not for or against anyone here, I am just saying we colleagues please realize we need to be united in this change , we might need to adapt things up to our heads, but the only thing we can do it , it is being together, so why don´t we share the same t.shirt ?, named I am an educator and I need a change for my kids, you know why" I need ", and not they need, it could be better for any they need, but you know something I think everyone who is involving in teaching realizes we love our kids, that´s why with the power of adulthood I will say :I need a change for the people I love and we will do it altogether, it does not matter age, hair colour, gender, nationality, just your care and love for what teaching really involves in what we will part of our responsability is and their happiness on the spot, of human beings who live with us in class.
