Education

My school is called "Liceo Santa Teresita de Llo-Lleo", its orientation is Catholic and is just for girls I attended this school for all years.
My school was very traditional, even now I realize there are many things that did not work either, because now I see from the perspective that gives me my career to be studying. For example, the most important subjects were math and language were first, then History and English, but as was religious also used many hours a week in prayer, Mary Month, classes in the chapel, we also went to church which was very close, etc. That really was not the problem but it was as if time was lost and should be compensated as there was no time for feedback to teachers, more time to clarify doubts, and so on.
The relationship with teachers was very remote, they were an authority and had to keep aloof. Some teachers were the exception (I remember only one person) and some assistants and inspectors were much more friendly and accessible.
The technology in my school was good as the infrastructure, the rooms were large and had a TV in each classroom with closed circuit, there was datashow in other place and was special.
I think the level of education I received at school was not very level and would have liked more guidance on some things, though good student teachers are not motivated very much and so it took me so long to decide what he wanted to study. I think the good decisions I took my family through. I think that the school affects almost all areas of life, personally affected me so much of my future.
The current educational system is affected mainly by lack of resources and preparation of teachers. Comparing the private system with the public system we see that in the former takes into account various aspects and not just subjects. for example relationships, the environment and the active role of the student. This last point is extremely important because it engages the student with their own education, there is participation and responsibility for results, self-assessments and getting better and better.
I had never heard the phrase "When the student is ready the teacher appears" and I think it is a bit difficult to understand, but I guess that means that the student can master the same skills, if he is guided in a good way .
