Of non-professional nannies
I hear a text ad from recognized corporate distance training. A voice of an enthusiastic young man says “I work in a nursery. I have 20 children in class and feel like mine. “Background music immediately and go to the promotion of an upper Technician childhood education. They end up saying “You too can be like Mary!”
I’m not obsessive, but when I hear news related to education pay more attention, especially when I think I reflect the view that society has of our work and then, of course, I draw my Conclusions. Starting from the premise that advertisers are not stupid, and unless those who work for these large companies, and that talk of a “future employment”, I reflect while driving:
1, who are heading? Girls, do not miss the feminization of the profession to which he “likes children” and feel as their own.
2 º what do you like listening to the public? That educators feel children as their own, which are almost moms.
The safety of Mary makes me wonder. I’ve been in this profession many years and now I never felt like my children, which leads me to wonder if I was wrong in my choices.
O no!
If you let me give you some advice my dear Mary, dear advertisers and society in general, that ad is a trivialization of our social role.
No doubt that we are dedicated to teaching children to like-and girls-but, above all, has to like the work of education. Because only our liking and feeling like we can do many things that have nothing to do with formal education.
Teachers and educators are not nannies, moms or parts, are professionals in education accompany and guide the creatures in their growth process in integrated education as individuals, as individuals and as citizens. We know the importance of establishing a safe school attachment, affections and emotions in small, but we also know that if maternal and infant relations between teacher and students, something goes wrong, one way or the other. Mothers have to make mothers and teachers of teachers; here is not worth so many rides, rides well.
Dear Mary, teaching as a profession for the future is not playing house. Therefore, when I ask why you want to be teachers / educators do not say gently that to “feel like my children” to me would be suspicious.
