Following the blog "Lee and says" FETE-UGT Madrid Station 've been through clearly: There coming come I found this story about replanted forests that are worth reading so that the branches do not prevent us from see the forest.
Thanks to its author: Pilar López Lucía Jiménez - IES. C. Herrera Oria (Madrid)
complete copy of the original input . Enjoy it! Pilar L.
López .- "The excellence of replanted forest" (April 2011)
cometoday I bring to the section "firms invited" a text of Pilar, whom I very much appreciate the loan (this time I asked permission, really). I also asked to complete it with a photic, which I hope are appropriate ... From the IES Madrid Herrera Oria, where he is a counselor (who directed the counselor?), A text to rethink the "High School of Excellence" by His Excellency Esperanza Aguirre, and a handful of related issues ...
replanted forest Excellence
"Working in education for over 30 years and I read with shock the news that gives us Esperanza Aguirre: Finally there will be a special center for high school students to achieve the remarkable!
And like all simple sentence, it is always dangerous : spreads, it is accepted as obvious and not discussed further. Even seems only right: enough is enough, that those who want to study to do so with their peers!
comes to my mind a forest of pine and eucalyptus trees replanted outside their natural habitat: a monograph plant, where trees of the same species compete in height reach the sun (excellence) for photosynthesis.
How sad I feel about this landscape, next to the mixed forest with its biodiversity: beech, oak, yew, laurel, shrubs and smaller plants that grow well in its rich humus!
In defense of the natural strength that gives the difference, I feel sorry for the students to whom you want to prepare to be "excellent." Excellent
what? What kind of intelligence? "And in exchange for what? : loss of natural environment: biodiversity. This does not make them stronger, or effective, the failure to develop the values \u200b\u200bof cooperation, solidarity, difference, knowledge of reality is always different.
What educational or psychological theory is based to defend the stress of being subjected as Olympic athletes, capturing the motto of Nike?: if you're not first, you're a loser .
This "experiment" reminds me of the novel Brave New World A. Huxley, in whose society everything was determined by genetic and psychological manipulation to create specialized individuals: the alpha, beta, gamma ... I was guaranteed the specific location and tasks to fulfill its social role, which can never escape.
So much effort in this country to develop democracy and now again we are in a learning society caste!
Now that U.S. universities abandon the model of academic records and high IQ to search for the excellent, Esperanza Aguirre discovered gunpowder as height of modernity: the segregation.
In any undertaking seeking to make profits and survive is valued more than ever the ability to work together, to cooperate and take wise leadership. They know that not only specialists but worth the work to achieve a productive welfare environment.
The "ideal type" as dreamed up by a part of the teacher is merely a mechanism to distract the electorate from all the problems that are pending Education in the Community of Madrid: lack of space for teachers, specialists, technical and materials, budget cuts, privatization increasing.
But attention, the issue is not trivial: if this model curdles and spreads to other hospitals ends with mixed Mediterranean forest and its biodiversity. It is a consistent pattern with a way of seeing the world parceled .
Now all kinds of segregation above and below: the slow with the slow, the AD-H with ADHD, boys with boys, girls with girls, all close together immigrants, those with high ability pairs ... and from there to the pure race intellectually. Just a matter of degree. "
