BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Crying for help

 


 

 

Everywhere in the world you can see and hear people crying for help. Wars, droughts, poverty, floods... There are few solutions to all these problems, but those in charge must have the will. There is still hope, as the quote below states.
 
 

 

In Spain we have got plenty of problems everywhere (housing, corruption, immigration, jobs...), but "we still have a cup" and we have got the power in our hands to try to change things if we make the effort. We should not waste that possibility, especially our students.
