Reflection: Freedom Writers

           " Freedom Writers" is a movie about a school with many problems about racism and violence. A teacher Erin Gruwell (Hilary Swank), was be able to change the class with a didatic that had not  being done. Beyond of teaching your subject, the teacher gave many tasks that make the students change their behavior, with each other. through a diary, each student wrote their feelings, moments that have passed and their thinkings about the life. That why they could set free.
           This movie is a great lesson to life, for the all teacher that had got hard moments. It is like a push to keep in that profession, that is not easy. Each teacher spends for hard moments in the class, but the best is do no give up and keep going to do the best for the students. In every profession the people spend  good and bad moments, but teaching is the superation of own person. The teachers have to have love for their profession. in addition they have to keeping a healthy mind and do not leave that their activities negatively influence in their personal life.

There are many reasons to make a teacher missed your class. "According to the survey, 30% of Brazilian students are in schools where lack of teachers affects learning."
Some reasons are: maternity license (a period that the women just who had a baby), sick leaves for studies, days affluent and the most common is medical certificates. After that, some researches show that devalues the profession and as if the miss were a exchange paid into the low wage.

The picture below, can show the percentage of students that studying in schools where teacher 'absenteeism' does not hinder learning. Which shows a contradiction against Brazil.

The indian people are our origin. For long days they had some problems with their freedom about their fields and their culture, because some people want to take their rights. 

Between many rights taken, their Education is precarious and your language was repressed to be spoken freely. Nowadays many things are being changed. The indian people are having some improvements about their rights in Education.

It was "created the Program to Support Higher Education and Undergraduate Intercultural Indigenous (PROLIND) in 2005, for teachers of the final years of the Elementary School and Middle.

The right to bilingual and intercultural education was already guaranteed in the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (LDB) and the National Curriculum Reference for Indian Schools."

For many historical reasons the indian people should have more resources to their Education and also the profession of Teacher in their tribes. In this way, we can see the changes about  the teaching of the indian people, walking in slowly step.

About Mr. Johnson speeches.

Mr.Philip Johnson had a good participation in our class in 09/12/2012, that talked about "Reflection on teaching". He showed and discussed about 12 important questions about teaching. Those 12 question involve teachers needs in classroom, the various ways to include children with special needs and what kind of disabilities are found at classroom, strategies to do the best and what challenges on way. And personally how him 25 years working at classroom has being and him advice gave to working with parents and that comunication to work better with them.

The one question that most took my attention was: What resources  are avaliable in schools to help work with students with special needs in your classroom? Well, when the school has a good teacher, the resources can be created by own teachers and doing a good job with that children. Likewise, the other side can be hard. Even the teacher is good and no resources, the work at the school can be weak or missed some activities that could be better to the children.

Anyway, a good teacher reflects about your job with the children and supporting them of the better way as possible.

Brian Williams talked with over 300 teachers from across the country in Education Nation's 2012 Teacher Town Hall.

      They talk about many problems in American Education and bring questions no answer. The TV presenter bring a guest from oyler community learning center that speaks about their project in the schools.
 I agree when the wanda Neville (oyler community learning center) when she says that  with their school and principle they have to be able to bring Private and Public school that \could "combine resources, customize that our students needs specifically..." But, she said something obvious "The children deserve it a superior education".
     There are many problems with American Education (but, all around the world, too) that increase every more and no answer. Anyway, the people just says this or that should be done, just theories. But didn't say HOW this should be done! 

Chapter 3- Historical perspectives of Education

       The History of Education show many advanced and struggle during the all past. Happened many changes in American education thus far. The increase of the numbers of students, teachers  and help from the Government.
       We can see the increase the number of students because came from rural settings also. Then, which it was required more teacher and building with large schools to support these students. For the teachers such as the increase of educational curricula, various programs that attend different levels, includ students with special needs; the preparation of teachers changed the way of how to be a teacher, not a simple teacher, but well prepared to work, through exigent training. Thereafter the government helps the Education, with the criating of various programs to attend all the staff at school, to regularization of the working at the schools.
     This way the Education can be better and work well to all the students and attend them how they deserve it. Also, the teacher have had more value for the Government and work in partner to do the best for the children future.

Reflection "2 million minutes".

The video is about three students from different cultures and how their time is spent in the High School. That video show their routines, their families and hobbies.  The americans students spent less time studying Math than students from India and China, that's why they were the less succesful in competitions. 
I could see that the more the students dedicate your time to study, more succesful they are in their career.When one person is focusing on the future and want to be somebody succesful in the life, this person can do everything to get your goal.
