The salary of the teacher and the judge
Which leaders will form when a schoolteacher earns so little? I do not know if you ever asked this question, but it should.
UNESCO published a comparative study with the salaries of elementary school teachers from 38 countries. We were in third place, losing to Peru and Indonesia, the worst since the salary. The country-destination for surfers scored U $ 1,624 per year, while the Incas U $ 4,752. The country's football almost lost to the Peruvians, with U.S. $ 4,818,. Well away from the average of developed countries, U.S. $ 33,209 per year.
Make a comparison. A Judge of the Supreme Court (which has the title of Minister in our country) receives U.S. $ 148 000 per year. Who is head of account noted that a person trained to prosecute crimes, a reactive function, earns almost 30 times more than one person trained to educate, a preventive function. We have a system that invests less in the professional that could decrease the work of the professional who is there to resolve things that have happened. We pay more to change the past than to look ahead.
- I think some teachers are willing to use a red nose.
To be a teacher, you need to call. In a system like ours, teachers end up migrating to other native functions to a dignified life. With a measly salary, move away from the goal of their lives. Thus, the teaching profession tends to attract professionals who either did not get a better position in the market, or did not have jurisdiction to do so.
Far from being simplistic and deterministic, it could be a developed country if the situation were different. The low salary of teachers indicates the total lack of priority in investing in education since the time we try to stop being a colony. It is a paradox invest in punishment, the court, when we have a country so ignorant. We encourage crime by not prioritizing education.
We pay judges well and safe to build temples worthy exercise of their functions as teachers dwindle eating porridge vandalized schools with students who threaten them with impunity.
Our country needs to implement the policy of the judges in schools, so they are as safe as imposing and forums. That teachers have the status of Ministers. We can finally assume the role of trainers of the future leaders of Brazil manly. If not, there is a sense of mission.
See here an example of a school that I find interesting, not only for their professional value, but the proposal of its educational process.
I like your point of view. I totally agree.

I have always said that the primary teaching profession should be the best paid of all professions. It is thanks to an elementary school teacher, who taught us to read and write, add, multiply, subtract and divide, etc.. These basics more deeply necessary in any profession that today there are many other professions, earning triple or even more than you earn one dedicated teacher or professor.

It is most true, Regina. I hope that this very consciousness begins to infect more and more people, and so teremops strength to do so.

in the last election for president of the Republic, only 2% voted for the candidate with proposals to change the education system, and this would be his priority.

It is true, father. The only candidate who had a prosposta totally focused on education was not recognized. But maybe we try to identify this profile next?

Hi Nilzo,
I really liked your text. Only disagree with one thing: to be a teacher, you do not have a vocation. It is this reasoning that justifies low wages, poor preparation. It seems that there is a movement of "sacralization" of teaching, you know? Sometimes, talking with co-teaching, I hear "oh, but I do what I love." Sorry, nobody says that to be good doctors, good engineers, good judge is necessary to love. Just to be good teacher. Is it really? It takes expertise and commitment. Without these two, or all the love and vocation in the world will realize.
Expanding this reasoning a little more, this speech is "Love", the "vocation" that holds people without power and without compromise teaching. Because, hey, they are such good people who love what they do ... so the problem of teaching so much wrong? It is to think a little, no?

Surely, Carla. You got a very interesting point. Would love to say that the times for not having the power to do something else? So like, but do not have the "footprint", if you know what I mean.
