As they retire, it costs more and more to fill the places. If many of those who have been teaching for 30 years find bitterly that they were mistaken in illusions and profession, who will want to start teaching teenagers who believe that Cluny Abbey is called that by George Clooney? Who wants to be a teacher in an education system that has been ravaged by pedagogy, bureaucracy and useless things? And who wants to be a mathematics teacher, the mother of all the worst knowledge battles that have been fought in recent years?
There are no mathematics graduates who want to dedicate themselves to teaching. The private company is more grateful. This happens even if the professional has a teaching vocation. We’ve been seeing the warning signs for some time, but what we’re hearing now is a horn blow. In the next call on the 26th in Catalonia, there are 539 applications for 720 civil servant positions. Stupid managers won’t be able to say they weren’t warned.
We start from a double premise. First, the loss of level in basic knowledge such as mathematics – also in reading comprehension – which has been creeping in since primary education. There are twelve-year-old students with an eight-year-old level. The proposals of the think tank convened by the Generalitat have come to nothing. And find out how the reinforcement plans announced by the central government will end and if they will be done.
second The low mathematical training of ESO teachers slows down the students’ level. Anyone cannot teach this subject well. The less knowledge and the more distant the teacher’s vision is with respect to mathematics, the worse the learning will be. The fish that bites its tail.
If only the salary incentive remained, but not even that. In Catalonia, the doctors were lucky enough to specify in this year’s payroll a salary improvement before the 12-M call was carried out, while the teachers were put on the face of paymasters, with the honey of the promise on the lips. And yet, teaching is the only profession that makes all the others possible.
