EL PADRE NUESTRO de Don Leonardo Garnier

Lizeth Castro.

Muchos, cada día,  tomamos un cincel y le damos forma al Dios que nos conviene. Y esto incluye a los que somos cristianos, católicos o no; nos convertimos en escultores de un Dios a nuestra medida y oportuno. Cuando nos resulta inoportuno –porque así nos lo dicta nuestra conveniencia- le tiramos una sábana encima para no verlo y que “no nos vea”. Sin escuchar su Voz, hacemos lo que nos da la gana, nos justificamos, le pasamos por encima y seguimos con la vida.  El del polémico relato  de Leonardo Garnier es un hombre enterrado en vida y desde su desesperación mide, con la frustración hasta el cuello, el tamaño de una figura que los demás vemos Omnipotente y se atreve a decir “¿Padre? ¿Nuestro?”.   Resulta grotesco, ciertamente, que alguien se atreva a despreciar al  Hacedor de la Vida, pero a mí, el relato no me ofende. Me ubico en aquél que no ha comido en varios días;  en el que grita desde el hueco de su estómago “¿Dónde estás Dios? ¿Existís como existe esta hambre? ¿Existís como existe el desprecio? La gente pasa a la par mía, tienen tiempo para ir a Misa, al Culto, a las fiestas de caridad, a los seminarios de superación personal, al yoga, a la nutricionista, al Gimnasio, al Banco… y no tienen tiempo para voltearse y verme en esta esquina desgraciada del planeta y darme un pedazo de dignidad.” Garnier toma el sentimiento hastiado de un ser humano que el mundo ha hecho sentir huérfano. Así me lo imagino.  Quienes decimos PADRE NUESTRO QUE ESTÁS EN EL CIELO, debiéramos defender su Nombre con nuestras obras, con solidaridad, sin golpes, ni insultos, con respeto, con sensatez, con tiempo para los que tienen menos y merecen igualdad de oportunidades. ¿Dirán “VENGA A NOSOTROS TU REINO” esas madres y padres que golpean, hasta cansarse, a sus hijos? ¿Digo “LIBRANOS DEL MAL” cuando hay mujeres que viven cerca mío, en agresión y no les digo que rompan el silencio? ¿Decimos “SANTIFICADO SEA TU NOMBRE” cuando ofendemos el nombre de los demás para humillarlos y burlarnos de sus errores? ¿Decimos “HAGASE TU VOLUNTAD” y permitimos la corrupción, sin denunciarla?  El relato de don Leonardo no me ofende.  Me pone a pensar.  Y a mi PADRE NUESTRO, le seguiré rezando para que me dé fuerzas y demostrarle a los que dudan, que no hay amor más grande que Aquél que da la Vida por sus amigos.

La Educación Prohibida- Una Película que vale la pena mirar

Sinopsis Extraído del Documental

 

La escuela ha cumplido ya más de 200 años de existencia y es aun considerada la principal forma de acceso a la educación. Hoy en día, la escuela y la educación son conceptos ampliamente discutidos en foros académicos, políticas públicas, instituciones educativas, medios de comunicación y espacios de la sociedad civil.Desde su origen, la institución escolar ha estado caracterizada por estructuras y prácticas que hoy se consideran mayormente obsoletas y anacrónicas. Decimos que no acompañan las necesidades del Siglo XXI. Su principal falencia se encuentra en un diseño que no considera la naturaleza del aprendizaje, la libertad de elección o la importancia que tienen el amor y los vínculos humanos en el desarrollo individual y colectivo.

A partir de estas reflexiones críticas han surgido, a lo largo de los años, propuestas y prácticas que pensaron y piensan la educación de una forma diferente. "La Educación Prohibida" es una película documental que propone recuperar muchas de ellas, explorar sus ideas y visibilizar aquellas experiencias que se han atrevido a cambiar las estructuras del modelo educativo de la escuela tradicional.

Más de 90 entrevistas a educadores, académicos, profesionales, autores, madres y padres; un recorrido por 8 países de Iberoamérica pasando por 45 experiencias educativas no convencionales; más de 25.000 seguidores en las redes sociales antes de su estreno y un total de 704 coproductores que participaron en su financiación colectiva, convirtieron a "La Educación Prohibida" en un fenómeno único. Un proyecto totalmente independiente de una magnitud inédita, que da cuenta de la necesidad latente del crecimiento y surgimiento de nuevas formas de educación.

Happy Sabbath to Everyone! According to Exodus 20:8

Effective Ways of Dealing with Disruptive Students

Effective Ways of Dealing with Disruptive Students

   There may be times in your educational encounters that you have faced situation with students that do not allow the proper and correct flu of a daily lesson in your class room, Don’t Worry!!!!  Here there are some simple but interesting clues you could follow which will benefit the entire classroom atmosphere including the three principal actors in the educational process, the teachers, the students and the parents.  Follow me in this wonderful journey:

•  Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance (V. Ruggerio)—most of the time students are not trying to be malicious and often are not aware that they are being disruptive. A simple request for them to return to the task at hand is all that is needed.

• More traditionally aged college students exhibit behaviors that were acceptable in high school or at least went uncorrected. They are often surprised that college teachers are bothered by these behaviors.  Help explain that the college learning environment expects more adult like behavior.

• See all conflicts as an opportunity to educate the student(s) involved.

• If at all possible deal with any significant issues of disruption or disagreement in private (your office with the door open, after class or in the hall way). Dealing with an issue in front of others can unwittingly, bring others into the discussion. You don’t need others taking sides.

• Use I statements to address the concern …this way you are owning the problem and giving the student an easy opportunity to save face and get back on task. I statements avoid the issuance of consequences. “I would appreciate it if you would not talk when I am talking…”

• Stay calm– at all cost, stay calm—if necessary declare a cooling off period. Delays speaking with the student until you are calm.

• Put yourself in the student’s shoes—try to see what their motivation is, what would cause them to be disruptive, or have this problem or issue.

•   Listen carefully—ask clarifying questions that help to define the issue. “I want to make certain that I understand what you are saying is this what you mean?”

• Think win-win. Ask the students how they would resolve the issue—this will give them some ownership. Also ask how they would handle the situation if they were the instructor.

• Make certain that your position is clearly defensible. Just because “you say so” is not always a good reason.

• Avoid the introduction of side issues. Keep bringing the student back to the issue at hand. Other issues can be dealt with at another time.

• Write down the issue/concern/problem. This can bring clarity to the issue and help focus you and the student on the issue.

• Write down the solution/agreement. Get a signature that the student agrees to the solution.

• Be as consistent as you can in how you handle each individual occurrence. This includes how you handle even small disruptions in class. Students really take note of inconsistencies in this area.

• Offer the student the option of taking the issue to the next level. Tell him/her who to talk to and where they can find them. If the rule or policy in question is a university rule or policy say so—indicate you are not in a position to alter these.

• Keep notes of the conversation(s) that you have with the student. This will help to protect you and make it clear to the students that you want an accurate record of the interaction(s) you have with them.

Some Key Instructions Could Be:

Talkto the student publicly and privately. When students disrupt the classroom with incessant talking or getting out of their seats, tell them immediately to stop and inform them of the consequences per your class rules and expectations. Talk to them again separately after class or in a conference with the principal if disruptions continue.

Determine causes of misbehavior and address them if possible. If a student suddenly starts disrupting class after being quiet and studious all year, the behavior may indicate a problem at home or at school with peers. Talk to your school's counselor about meeting with the student to find out additional information. If you have a rapport with the student, talk to him yourself and offer assistance if appropriate.

  Meet with the student's parents if disruptions continue. This allows you to collaborate with caregivers and discuss ways to help the child conform to classroom expectations. Ask parents for their input and advice. Do not use a parent conference as a forum for your opinions about how bad their child is or to criticize their parenting style.

Establish a behavioral plan and contract for repeat offenders. A counselor or behavioral interventionist at your school can help you with this. A behavior contract outlines specific ways the student will act in class. It also lists possible rewards for meeting behavioral goals. Get the student's, parents' and your signature on this document as a way to demonstrate that this plan is a team effort.

  

 Enforce school and classroom rules as stated. If a student continues to display disruptive behavior after enacting a behavioral plan, follow your discipline plan in the order you presented it at the first of the year. Do not let anger and frustration cause you to exact a more severe punishment than the offense warrants. When students see that you treat everyone fairly and respectfully, it can have a positive impact on future behavior.

Charts can contain positive and negative entries

A good Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) an make a big difference in how a student with special needs acts and reacts in a school setting. However, getting the appropriate school personnel to do the necessary behavior analysis and put a plan together can be a frustratingly lengthy process. You may want to try proposing a behavior plan of your own -- particularly if you have a good relationship with your child study team, and your child's teachers are as frustrated by the delays as you are. At the very least, seeing behavior plans that others have put together can help you be an active participant in the planning process. Here are some examples of successful behavior plans -- and blank forms that some school districts use to make them.
