Homeworks are very important!!!



What elements play an important 
role to assign homework?

The homework is an activity that a teacher in schools to make it at our house and the main purpose is support the learning of the students.  In primary education, the homework has, or should have, as main purpose the following:

-  Contribute as a review of what has been learned in the classroom. 

-     Promote, in the early grades, the improvement of skills such as reading and writing.

-  Promote enjoyment, curiosity and interest in researching different issues.

-     Foment the relationship between sons, daughters, fathers and mothers, if they support them in their homework.

Do the homework strengthens what they learned in the classroom.

Among some teachers, teachers, fathers and mothers, there is the idea that the homework should be much so the children can learn.
Sometimes they leave them to copy multiple pages, make words flat or many additions and subtractions. These tasks can be boring or tired for the boys and girls, since they take a long time to do it.

At present ideas about the home works have changed, teachers and parents is suggests that the tasks are brief and this obtains to awaken the interest of children, to:

• Investigate other issues of interest.
• Are interested in their environment.
• Read and write what they like.

These activities are more attractive and can help them to strengthen their sense of responsibility and their ability to investigate and learn for themselves. 

A very important help for the parents is to know what are the difficulties that has children in the accomplishment of its homework.

Talk with the children, ask questions about homework and talk with teachers about how to help our sons and daughters, with some of the possible ways to make the homework more enjoyable and easy to.

A small story of my beginnings in the teaching


A small story of my beginnings in the teaching

It all started in the year 2005, when full of illusions and debuting my licenciate degree I decided to participate in the State teacher competition, the truth in that time, I wanted to wean me from my house, the bad thing is that my parents did not want to leave it, then I thought that the best solution was to look for work or a husband that I kept me, and then opted for the first, the most difficult.

 In January of 2006, I was happy, I passed this humiliating test to which the ruthless and cruel Government submitted to us with very good results. I introduced myself in public hearing and I chose the town of Chima.  I started to work in the Rural School of Helechal, to walk 3 hours a day, what torture! I worked there at about one year.  Later I had  an accident on a horse, I was transferred to the municipality of Simacota, where approximately 7 months I worked, and like everything in Colombia is lever, one helped me to locate myself in borders, a small village close to Socorro, where I live.  There I worked approximately 5 years, and currently I working in relief, then to do a trade-in with a teacher friend of my parents who are also teachers.  

Today, I live happy, I have a husband and a daughter, I love them, I have my own apartment, I have a job that fills my expectations and of which I am very proud, I have health and a long life ahead.  More can I ask for you to life?  God and the Virgin are merciful

Colombian and Finnish Education System

Finland has the best results in the tests that measure the quality of education.  It is a highly industrialized country, sense of community and civic engagement, it has one of the lower rates of poverty and corruption in the world, and according to the human development index, which measures health, education and income is among the best 25 countries in the world.

In addition, the teaching profession is more valued, only those with excellent notes may start the race to be teachers and to be in a classroom, they must have at least one master's degree. The schools are smaller, the salons have around 15 to 20 students and on average Finnish teacher spends 600 hours to year in the classroom. In Colombia, the reality is different. Therefore, Finland is a benchmark of excellence for the Colombian educational system. We must start from a premise: Colombian children can get the same or better results than Finnish children. That is, in 20 or 30 years, Colombia could be the best in all the tests that measure the quality of education in the world.

Thanks very Much.

Lots of love.
