Educate and communicate

Educate and communicate: Regina's family in Indonesia

So many times we talk about education and seek the best terms to compile them and analyze the value on subjects various methods to achieve a healthy and successful education. 

But a few times does not approach the issue of education, the importing of communicating that in my opinion should be put more a theme and analyzed to better understand how to best educate. 

In fact, today it seems difficult to communicate, because communication means get out of the self, from their safeties, and begin to compare with those around you, remaining available and open. 

In fact, the educational communication is not just an exchange of technical information, but is entering into a relationship with others that is a deep commitment, a conscious responsibility to the formation and growth of the other.

Just a teacher

Just a teacher

Just a teacher to make a difference, but we want it to do.

The boys even today, maybe after some time, they recognize when a teacher has done something for him, even if it happens that we may never know.

And that's the beauty of our work: do it selflessly, without expecting any recognition.

Ask the teacher is a question of responsibility and to be truly must be imbued with the passion that you play all in the relationship with their students and not in a general recognition of the company.

It is not a job like any other and a "master" can be remembered for having contributed to the growth of a boys in a positive sense, or to render it more difficult.

Therefore, when those who teach is not the passion for what he teaches, but even more afraid of the report that has its own education with capital, it can also do harm.

The teacher who loves his work and his boys, however they may be, is aware of the greatness and, if you will, of the mystery of his profession, of what he professed in a Hippocr

atic oath ever uttered.

Educate

I leave you a few sentences that speak of the issue of education:

Educate is not what the teacher gives, but is a natural process that takes place spontaneously in the human, it is not acquired by listening to words, but by virtue of the experiences made in the environment.
The task of the teacher is not to talk, but to prepare and arrange a series of motives of cultural activity in a specially prepared environment.
(M. Montessori)
We often speak of the influence of the example, but we forget that we give an example to the children all the time and not only when we intend to do.
(S. Isaacs)
To raise a child it takes a whole village.
(Indonesian proverb)
The great wrong of educators is that young people will like what they like to old age or maturity; youth that life does not differ from mature, you want to abolish the difference of tastes and desires, that he wants the teachings, commands and the force of necessity, suppliscano experience.
(G. Leopardi)
The school should make good use of these sentences.
