My academic year

In all kinds of situations the people can say if they have good or bad experiences, they can say too if they are satisfied or not whit the work that they have been doing, because I think that is really important to the people formation ask different things to ourselves, that helps as to evaluate different aspects of our behavior, and realize the thigs that have done and what left to do. What I present below is a self evaluation of this academic year that it almost finish, leave behind some situations that deserve to live again and others that is better forget.

This year was really hard, especially the final weeks, because in all subjects that I studied I have to did many, many works. The most difficult work was an investigation that I had to do with two other classmates. We had many problems to do it because our practice period was delayed because of the teacher´s strike.

The best experience of this academic year was my practice.In this term I have the posibility to go to a school located in Recoleta. The school calls Liceo Arturo Perez Canto and it is a public center.In this place I listened many histories of the children, some histories was really beautiful or funny like the history of Karim, who was very happy because his mother was pregnant. But other histories was really sad. There was kids that didn´t have a family who take of them, they went to the school all dirty and some of them had not even a backpack to carry their books.

All this histories made me think in the importance of the teachers in the lifes of the boys and girls of the country also in the importance of the family in the education of his children.

When I look back and see all the things that I lived with this children I can realize that have this type of experiences, in which we must see the worse of the people, is really helpfull to look the reality with different eyes, to be more critic, which in the future will be a very useful tool to work , because to know realities of different types is one of things that makes you a good teacher, because I think that a teacher is good when he or she can make the diference in all kinds of situations.

Challenges in my Discipline


I think that the area of education is one of the most important topics in every society, because to educate the people is one of the most difficult tasks, for this reason this particular area is full of different challenges.

The technology is a very important challenge in this area, because to use this type of tools in the classroom is very useful for the children`s learning. In this area our country have a problem because very few schools have the necessary equipment. Most schools have only a computer room with 40 or 50 computers for a entire school, what makes more difficult that the teachers can use tools, such as power point, educational sofwers,videos, etc in his every day clases.

I think that the most important challenge in education are the social matters, because in my opinion the big task of the education is to fight against the social differences that exist in our society.

I study eduacation because I really care about this topic, and I hope that in the future I can make a difference. I hope too that in the future exist other challenges, because a education without new challenges will never improve


A piece of News


A piece piece of news that caught my atention on this days was the tragedy that happend to the goalkeeper of the German natyonal team. This man of 32 years old decided put an end to his life because he hasn`t been able to overcome to the death of his little dougther Lara. The two years old girl died after fight for a long time against a hearth problem. His father fought against a depression as well as him he couldn`t find another way to get on with his life and kill him self.

This news was really shocking to me because the end of the history is very tragic. The effect in my comunitity is not really important because this news it only couse the suspension of a football game whit the Chilian national team which is not that terrible.

A piece of news that I would like to hear would be something that show to the people about the beauty of the world, because the most of the news that I see every day in the television or in the news paper show us violence or tragedy.

Improving your Faculty Facilities


I study in the social sciences faculty in wish we have many facilities that help to improve our welfare during the time that we have to spend in this place, because the students some days spend more time here that in his own houses. I think that the facilities in this faculty are not bad, we have many class rooms, two computation rooms with many computers that are very usefully when we have to do some work, we have to a nice library very, big but the problem of this facility is there aren´t enough book of education. Also we have a cafeteria in wish we can buy or bring our own lunch.

One problem that has this facility is that the class rooms are very small. In some class we have to be very, very crowded all taught we are a very little course, we are only nineteen. This point is very important because is really dangerous for the students be in a room so small because if there was an earthquake we have serious problem to get out of the room. I think that this could improve to building new class room, more big and comfortable for the students and also for the teacher. A real benefit of the construction of new and beigest class rooms are that the students would learn in a better way if they are cozy do it.

Hawaii schools to move to four-day week in state cost-cutting measure

Productt of the recession the state of Hawaii has resolved to reduce the school week from five to four days closing on Friday all public schools for the next two years, because inlike other states hawai`s education is completely paid for the state. Whit this measure the school year in Hawaii become in the most shortest of the country. With this cut the number of teachers wil be reduce from 180 to 163 also their pay muts reduce an 8% , althougth thir time of for holidays and teacher planning days remain.

In my opinion this measure in not completely bad as sayd the pepolpe of the article, becuase more days of education not means more quality. Also I am not agree with the Presiden Obama, who sayd (in the article) "The challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom," If I could speak with hem I would like to sayd that the children not learn only in the clasroom, there are so many ways that they can do it and the more meaningfull experiences to them are thesee out of the classroom.

Election day

I am not registered to vote in the electoral system because I think that the politician are a bit liar, well actually I think that they are really liar, also I am not registered because I thik that the only purpose of the electoral campaings to spend a lot of money, whish cut be ocupy in other things much more important for the society such as education or health.

A person running por president must be a person with a strong personality, because in his/her hands are the posibillity to make chanches to improve the quality of the lives of the citizens that voted for him/her. Also a president must be a person with whom the people feel as an equal.

Honestly I never has been thougth become a politician because they aren´t the kind of people in whom I want to become, I want to be a person that trully works with the people, (speciall with the kids) not a person that only remember the people at the moment of the elctions, to win votes. Althought if I have the chance to work in a ministry of the government I would like to work in the education ministry of education, because is the area of the society that more matters to me, obviuslly because I am going to become in a teacher.

Problems in our country.
I thik that the most importan problem of our country is the education, if this could be improve, many this will improve too.

Criminal laws


The capital punishment is a very important matter to discuss in all society. It has been said that in some countries where the capital punishment is applied, the climinality has reduced in their cities. I think that this kind of punishment is not the key to stop the crime although the statistics show other thing.

One point in favor to this kind of punishment is that the criminals do not have de posibility to meke other crime. But a bad point of this sentence is that if to kill a person is punish for the law, the criminal laws shouldn`t allow punish whit the same crime.

A measure that the government should take to reduce criminality rates in Santiago should be have harder punishment, more time in prision is a good mode to stop a bit the climinality.
The increasing criminality rates has releited whit the valiues of the people. In the actuallity the family is not educaiting their children in the rigth way. For this reason they take the easiest way to resolves their problems.

In my experience I have been victim of mugging in two oportunities, one in the street and another in my house six years ago
