I will appreciate your corrections. A long time since I wrote here last time. Anyway, here I am again.Thank you in advance.
As a secondary school teacher this a very insteresting topic for me.
Firstly, we should ask what the real goal of the complusory education is or what it should be.
In Spain, Education is supposed to focus on creating free, critic and autosufficient citizens. With that in mind, I think that Education should be miexes (boys and girls togheter) and that schools should have mixed ability classes. Maybe this should be, at last, in public schools.
If we want to create the best scientifics, the best writers, etc. then we should reconsider all of that things or allow private schools to do what they want in order to achieve the best academid results. That may leads us to the problem of the richs paying private schools and increaing social differences, but maybe that could be avoided with a good and fair system of grants.
One of the principal problems in nowadays schools is the situation in wich teenagers with no interest and no possibility to obtain officials degrees are put into while they are waiting to be 16 and they can leave school; becouse, until then, they are obligued to attend school.
There are two kinds of those young men or women: the ones who sit at the bottom of the class and do nothing: no work, no speak, no listen, no pay attention... nothing. And just the opposite ones: only disturbing. None of them both take nothing positive of that. Neither the teachers, nor thier schoolmates; only politicians who have an umployee without being listed in the unemployment list and familys who have the kid out of the streets for free.
Another problem is the lack of pedagogical and psicological resources a teacher of secondary school has when she or he first enter in one class.
Thank you.
