EDUCATION IS A BODY-TO-BODY EXERCISE LIKE LOVE

in Education4 years ago (edited)

Today reading a text written by the philosopher Fernando Savater on the website of the teacher CMF I loved these words "education is a hand-to-hand exercise like love" and it is really that teachers who feel our vocation as something sacred and unique know that currently we do not we feel good educating through telematic means we feel sad because we are not interacting body to body with our students, that is, we need face-to-face education we need face-to-face dialogue with our boys we need to hear their laughter their concerns their mischief we need to educate them historically as we have been doing.

We certainly understand the situation we are living through this pandemic and we understand that for the good of them and of all we have to face this crisis and do everything possible to educate and virtually guide our students, because they need strategies and we also need give them so that their learning is the most appropriate according to the current situation but we know that this type of tool is and should be transitory although students have always used this type of tool as an important resource for their learning but without ceasing to interact with their teachers.

As a teacher we know that when we are in the classroom with our students, love for them is inevitable each teaching each orientation each anecdote of them complement our strategies and plan the appropriate and necessary orientation at the precise time and although we know that teacher who loves their profession delivers it everything inside and outside the classroom is important to know that we miss the presence of our students in the classroom because education is really face-to-face

It is also important to note that many parents are concerned about the situation and the only way today for their children to receive their teachings but we all need to understand that the situation warrants it but that this is and should be transitory, you have to have faith in goodwill and together parents representatives teachers and students face the situation with the best strategies and intentions that soon all this will pass and better times will come where everything returns to normal although reality and health experts tell us otherwise.

Despite the circumstances, our vocation allows us to wait patiently for the best, since a teacher is definitely marked by the love of what he does.
In Plato's opinion, the teacher manifests a detached and gratuitous love towards his students that manifests it in any circumstance and today is precisely a time to apply it since we must use every strategy and dress ourselves with courage to take our mission to the safest field than the welfare of our students.

In this vein, we all need motivation today to persevere in these difficult times because we have had a double situation as parents and as teachers and responsibility is not easy but love covers everything.

From Venezuela I say: let's keep fighting it has not been easy for us because our social and economic situation is difficult but we are master builders of dreams and that is more important than any adversity because seeing our students fulfilled is the engine that moves us towards the hope

Dear colleagues from Venezuela and the world, I felt in my heart as a teacher to make this reflection because I feel that we need to motivate each other because it is not easy and it is known that every pandemic attacks first the social part of humans and therefore the part of communication and we, the entire educational group, today must be united and alert to each present situation to find the best strategies that can lead us to the best decisions. Together we can all!

Finally, our current situation and mission is and will have to be transitory because education is and will always be face-to-face where we all unite our bond of love.
