Hello bloggers,
how are you today? I’m half happy and half sad, why? Because today’s blog is
the last one! I will miss writing blogs every Friday, but finally the semester
is ending and holidays are coming up!
The topic of
today is really difficult because I usually don’t like giving my opinion, but I
chose education as today’s topic.
When I was very little
I studied in a school called Colonial de Pirque, which in my opinion it was a
really good place to grow as a person, I learned a lot about interpersonal
relations, listen to my classmates and respect nature. But when I was in 5th
grade I changed to another school, the exact opposite of the last one. This
school was in Santiago and it was focused on results, Simce and PSU results, so
it was very competitive and sometimes not in a healthy way. I think it’s
important to focus on the results, but that’s not the most important thing. I
felt the school was so focus on results, they made a side other important
things like growing our critical thinking,teaching how take care of others and ourselves, etc. and
it was reflected on my classmates attitudes.
What I mean with
all these experiences is that the education system is all wrong, we can’t
live in a world where results and competition between students is more important
than their mental health, we should educate our children to be better persons,
to take care of each other and teaching them that fail is not the end of the
world. There are so many examples of kids that took their
life because of the presure the education system puts on them and this can't happen anymore, we must stop it.
Please let me know you opinion about this issue in the comments.
PS: Happy holidays everybody! I hope you a great end of semester :)

ReplyDeleteEverything is fault of the neoliberal system! We are educated to compete, and this generate a lot of stress in people.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad, I will miss post every friday
ReplyDeleteEducation is a very important issue, hopefully it would be better at a country level and that ugly competitiveness would not exist.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you!! Mental health should be more important that marks.
