The thing is, I am from a family of teachers. Well, both my parents are teachers, one is working and the other changed to other profession but has the diploma of “Escuela Normal“. One of my aunts is teacher too.
I have gotten along with a lot of teachers in my life since my childhood.
Some years in the early 2000′s, one of my parents keep to take me each weekend to one of these capitation centers for teachers and I took the computers for using internet for searching for M.C. Eschers and Rene Magritte art or I keep to read some of the books were in the reception, and if I was lucky, there were cookies there.
That is so rare to see another child, sometimes I see a baby each 2 or 3 weeks.
Then the constant visits to the Education System buidings for different burocratic reasons.
I remember how all the adults keep to say that I was a good child for be so calm and get right the answers of their questions.
I find strange I haven’t find one of these “you don’t know the hard to be in a family with high expectatives“ especific for teachers’ children.
That is bittersweet experience. For a part, there is something about get access to some education resources that are as beuatiful treasures. For other side, you are constanly in test because you need to show you are your parent’s child.
Everybody kept to think I could become a teacher as my parents.
The true is, I didn’t have any idea about my future because I get stressed with that unasked status. I know, it wasn’t so terrible as other persons’ situations, it had their privileges... also this isolation feeling to keep with this “perfect student” image that, if my parents keep to say they didn’t worry about it, I felt they really wanted it.
Fine, let me put this train of thought again in the tracks...
I keep to feel this “get the correct answer″ feelings as a ghost in my brain.
I know there is not thing as a “corrent answer“, but I keep to think it exist.
Maybe it have changed to the “best answer“.
The only thing that I guess that I learnt about “teaching” is you get all the information, put some passion in it and practice some organization skills.
Listen the others as if you don’t know anything, if you do, keep it down until you can see all the spectrum of the theme. Maybe you note there are some parts of the spectrum that you didn’t note before. Maybe some of them are being creating in the moment.
Everything keep to change, sometimes it is similar to past moments, sometimes is anything else.
