...CaN aNyOnE bE a TeAcHeR????...


.... Last class we disscussed about what characteristics a teacher should have and which of them were a must.... like respect , to be at the same level as a student (meaning not acting like Gods), among other characteristics..... It was an interesting topic... but I think that we disscussed too little... I think that these kind of topics are very "formative" and necessary for our human development.....


Well then some of my classmates presented a topic to debate about.
They talked about a programme call "maestros de maestros" . This programme consists in outstanding teachers teaching other teachers from their experiences.
This programme has a lot of success but it does not exist for teachers of english....
Then came the debate which was about teachers improving their knowledge for a better level of teaching.....
The debate was interesting... I participated a lot... I think that to improve education the country or the government must look up to teachers and see education as an investment instead as a spend..... otherwise this will be an endless story...
