INCLUSIVE Can I ...?
We live
flooded by chroniclers of all kinds (and pattern) that make "journalism journalists" and we have them as banks: they speak of them, defend each other ... the old "aggrandizement" callers.
Well, today as an educator for more than two decades I will be TOTALLY self-referential to talk about inclusion.
not expect authors cite, or experience in Switzerland or thesis or educational conferences. Students and children talk about ...
CHAPTER I: TEACHER AND STUDENTS
Yesterday I found together with Cecilia and Agostina.
Cecilia, who today will be around twenty years, was for me a student movilizante integrated in a common elementary school in the nineties. His mother, graduated from Special School, participated actively in the events of poetry in our school library. Mourn and made us laugh. They made us move. Distress made us thinking about his future. Agostina
Cecilia shared with the same level to me. Agostina, the brilliant student, excellent, above expectations general, also possesses a sweetness and a vast immeasurable solidarity to share their knowledge without vedettes. Agostina from his first talk with outstanding grades argumentative points of things "that one can be when he grows up."
And if yesterday I found them together. Friendly waitresses officiated as representing the Vocational School in my village who entertained us in the context of a lecture to teachers and school principals. It was one of those scenes that make you think that life is a movie being filmed for you ... did you see? Together, the pair, both with the same enthusiasm, with the same smile, the warm greetings surprised " Hello, ma'am ...! "While offering me the best coffee with cookies I tasted in my life. Because, together, side by side, both with the same enthusiasm and the same smile I saw them enter, the recipient of a trumpet, with its shelves in the living room.
CHAPTER II: MOTHER AND CHILDREN
David and Lucas graduated from the same middle school in my town. Of course, there were some personal differences between them. David, ended his "poly" with seventeen, no matter pending, eight seventy-peak average. It was not flagged, but was chosen to read the words on behalf of the graduates of his class. CBC tries in Economics, a year and a quarter of hard work that did not reach for the six subjects required. With the floor of what was learned, in an illustrative example of resilience decided to enter the Faculty of Mathematics is now grade. Kid who worked and studied. It just banking. Already living in couples with Yanina. Lucas
reinforced knowledge of first year as the course twice. Every summer was forced pending registration in the examination boards. Was discharged for want of a way, with nineteen years and five subjects to perform. Every year received recognition from their peers as Best Mate and Officer of the course. Lucas and his guitar were a classic than a few hours off. His first work experience at the hands of true Cellular operators in the market, made it a real click: "Old, forgive me ... but I sent them to hell ... are a slave bastards. '. There I discovered that he had grown up. The large family of Baires officiated as Fairy Godmother, recommending him for a decent job, the new work environment stimulated the desire for improvement. After a sabbatical year, approved all pending matters of his side, thanks to plans for Terminal Province. Yesterday, too, confirmed his entry in the National Technological University. Kid who worked and studied. It just banking. He lives in a bohemian West PH, near the Florida home. EPILOGUE
Agostina
has the world ahead. Undoubtedly his training as a waitress is a supplement that will allow a support for how much work you will achieve in academic areas. It is already employed in a prestigious restaurant in town and the university classroom, later or earlier, they will have among its welcome. We will see with diploma in hand in about five years probably. Agostina
Cecilia is happy, thanks to an inclusive education policy, a worthy training accreditation, and a rainbow after the storm looming everyday. Surely the real challenge for the labor market is greater than for other young people, but the education system included it. Their self-esteem looks resplendent with his impeccable white shirt over his black trousers and feminine makeup before each event for which the summon. Cecilia is happy.
David will have a delay in the completion of his teaching career, predictable for a young man of twenty years working nine hours and then, in the evening, going into the classroom. Not all subjects are studied by him in the same calendar year, but slowly and progresses over the stones. We also reserve time to go to Laguna Yanina Monte and Sunday to kill gardener. David is happy.
Lucas, twenty-one, you know what is the difference between the exploiters and exploited gave to me his first wages, and not incidentally, a wonderful mural of Che and no flowers or chocolates ... you know clearly where it comes from the thing. Rate a work environment that preserves him, dignified him with blank contributions and social work. Lucas, thanks to the inclusive education policy that allowed its terminal, you know what the public university. Touring is another story, but nothing and no one could vetarle entry. Lucas takes his time to experience life. Lucas has returned to play the guitar after wrist surgery. Lucas is happy.
Agostina, Cecilia, David and Lucas are in my life. Public education, popular and inclusive as well. I'm happy.
