Bad teachers, bad education

Sometimes government says to all of us “we are gonna fix the quality of education”. However that´s only words. The last test shows us teachers are horrible answering a math test and most of them they are teaching in a classroom. The fact is the following: money is more important than education.

Politician can say whatever to obtain a lot of votes in presidential elections. Also they can promise important changes in our life, but in my opinion that is not enough. Every country has three relevant bases: medicine, laws and education. Chile is not the exception.

On the other hand, we´ll be teachers and take a part in the public or private education. It doesn´t matter the kind of school where we will work: the most important thing is how we could be. In my case I´m studying English Pedagogy (maybe it won´t be my work teaching math), but we need to draw the line in this issue: Chilean education is not better at all.

We still have bad marks… we still being individualistic and some of us prefer to work alone instead of work together. As a future teacher we don´t need to be that kind of person: we must be the best example for our future students. If we´re gonna teach something to student and suddenly they ask us a difficult question about a word or pronunciation, and also we can´t remember that word or at least the meaning, please don´t say: “that we are going to see in the next unit”. That is the typical answer from a bad teacher.

To sum up, we must take care about our training like a future teacher. It is our responsibility to improve weak skills and there are a lot of possibilities for our children, for their education.
