The book that I read talked about the Revolución Pingüina. It shows the phases that this revolution had to pass, which went from marchs to occupations. The author of the book gives us information saying what had Chilean students have to live. She (the author) tells us that the revolucion pinguina began too many years before the revolution. The thing is that Chilean students “took the power”, to say it somehow, in 2005, and they began to do things like to show that the diferent problems that the Chilean education had (and have) was a point that too many schools had (and have) in common. But it does not happened just at schools, it happened (and happens) at universities or institutes too.
In the book there are some testimonies of the people who had to live the revolucion pinguina. They were not just students, they were parents, too who were involved in the strikes and the occupation. They helped and gave their support to the Chilean students, in everything they could.
The book presents the topic of Los Pingüinos in a very good way, what help us to understand in a better way what really happened at that time. Of course there is always, at least, one thing that we do not know about this topic and to read about it is really useful to understand and face the reality of it.
In my opinion, we, as future teachers, need to know about the different problems that our educational system has. We cannot expect that TV shows us what have really happened in terms of education. We need to be on the ball and be experts on education, because that is what we chose, and it is the topic that needs us to be active. So we have a commitment with education, and we need to do whatever we can for it.

I think that was a really pulento moment!
ReplyDeleteperhaps a wasn't a revolution but they were listened. they were brave.
I think that, they need be more inform about what was happen, I think the mayority didn't know how powerful was the movement, specially because they were fight for legitimate rights. Now I think that we have ,as future teachers, to inform students, and encourage them to change their role in this society.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that you really enjoyed that topic. As estefania said, I ignored a lot of things of Pingüino's revolution, well I think that most of us. It is a shame, we need to be more inform about things to could give an opinion.
