EDUCATION IN MODERN SOCIETY

With the current posture of liberal society, where authority figures were suppressed and the excesses of freedoms promoted a misunderstanding on balance freedom-responsibility, there was a major weakening of the authority figures in the western world, so parents and teachers left to be seen by children-students as symbols of all-powerful and lost the coercive power to determine the activities of subordinates with powers to punish them with physical punishment. I consider it a tremendous setback society and point. If on one hand the teachers lost absolute power in the classroom, on the other hand, the same State that took the teacher's authority to punish students with physical punishments and reproofs, has required teachers the same efficiency of the past. The State believed that students should study for the sake of knowledge and not for fear of the teacher and of the consequences. Great deception. Fear and awe are priceless virtues that provide all the creatures of the world to commit preserve attitudes insane. The herds of wildebeest, zebras and other animals only survived in the jungles infested felines because fears made us to be perpetually on guard. Without the coercive force of fear, it was difficult to teach. I refuse to hear opinions from people who are in office philosophizing about life out there, and imagining in your mind how to run a world platonic ideal. We must listen to teachers of public primary and secondary schools. Scholars and doctors who live with only books are useless to dictate rules on student-teacher relationship. But this is the reality in which we live, as a consequence, research shows that teachers are stressed professionals, second only to the police. Other sources place the teacher with the fourth most stressful profession, as this research Weekly Periodical of Brazil, Veja magazine, which says:

Since when the school came to be defined as the second home of a student, the teacher won the obligation to be part of the education of their "second sons" - in addition to planning lessons and correcting exams and papers. If the salary was compatible with multiple functions and the students a bit more educated and aware, perhaps the stress of the profession had some compensation. (David Correia, See, 07/05/2010)
