Chilean Education!!!!

Well.....If you ask me, I am not surprised with the article. When I was a school student, I knew that most of my teachers were bad professionals. Besides, the last year in the subject TRECH I realized of a lot of things about Chilean educational system, and I understand why the teachers are mediocre professionals. I totally agree with the article, I know that everyone can be a teacher and we can see that in international exams, schools and universities.

When I was in the school I had the same problems of education, this problem is not new. So approximately 30 years ago, my parents also had terrible pedagogies and headmasters. The most probably that situation will not change. But at least, today we need a degree for teaching but this is easy to get. However, a degree is not a synonymous of quality. In some cases is just a piece of paper.

I think the blame of our education is the government, because they transformed the learning in commerce. They sold something than important like the future of the children to people that only think in money, millionaires that never have been interested in the problems of our society.

I am going to be an excellent teacher, I am sure of that. I think if you are studying to be a professor you need improve like person and professional. I decide to make changes, because I had bad teachers in my school and I wouldn´t like that happen in the future. Like future professionals of the education, we need change the educational system; we will have a lot of responsibilities.

I think universities have to improve in their curriculums but it depends of the state role. The government should make new rules in relation with the process of create a new teacher. Firstly, PSU has to be more demanding because in pedagogy this doesn´t select, everyone can study pedagogy.

Taking all into consideration, I think we need improve by ourselves. We can´t only blame to government, if the universities don´t give us good learning we have to find that. We can progress with extra courses of grammar, phonetic and conversation. In Santiago we have a lot of opportunities, we don’t have excuse. We have to be good teachers is our social compromise.
