late february sindrome

Post by Arcadia »

two weeks for the classes to start and we had a reunion where some beautifulllllll words from our new socialist province minister of education were communicated to us. Among them (I have to say that highlighted by our director...) this one: "Hay que volver a enseñar" something like "you have to teach again".... was it a joke? was it too deep or too plain? was it a recrimination? was it a koan? :shock: Well, the common feeling was malestar instead of encouragment. The typic thing: "you were doing the things bad, or you were doing nothing until now, now you´ll have to work and think". Is that part of the socialist moral and ethics? :roll: If you were a gardener or a cook or a phisician or whatever and someone says to you: "you´ll have to start to do what you are supposed to been doing" what would you feel/ think?. And this kind of tips are so common in the easily culpogenic pedagogic discourse...

I am still working on translating culpogenic from another post of yours. I think jimbo used it first. Is it a religious term? I can't google a definition.
raised-catholic and now adult with suddenly furious-tender-funny-terrific-culpogenic catholic conscious or unconscious attacks (I guess I still belong to this group )

Have you ever seen a comic strip called Dilbert? The boss in that strip reminds me of your director.

i have a pretty romanic notion of teaching. No idea of the beuracracy involved.

maybe. Thanks for the link to the other thread!. I was good to re-read it now.

culpógeno: generator of guilt

Our learning-matrixes are based in catholicism somehow (among other things). And a group of teachers (most of them woman) and a group of nuns sure they still have some points of connection :lol:

anyway, today was a good day. Very interesting dialogues surged. I proposed to go again to the frase and ask for a context for it. And it looked more like: "it´s time to not be too much a cook, a waitress, a mother, a nurse and a social assistant". There are other people for that. It sounded good!. Let´s see. :wink:

no...!! I´ll try to google it!!. The general (heavy sometimes) feeling is like our directora is somehow Fidel and we are living in Miami (leaving the ideology and género aspects aside) :lol:

thanks for reading!! :)

:lol: yeah, maybe it was that way, who knows?. I didn´t knew them too much except that they stank a little, specially the older ones! :wink:

Well, february again, first day at school and one of my co-workers almost vanished, with 4-7 blood pressure even after eating salt and coke. I told her if she wanted some points from mine! :roll: :lol: Interesting emergente de apertura, even though I have the feeling that there are more armony in the atmosphere than last year. Well, I know it´s only the 2nd now... let´s hope ...
