Ignóbil Avaliação de Professores

2011-11-27T21:43:00.001Z

“Ignóbil Avaliação de Professores”

Chega! Basta!

Sinto-me violentada.
Sinto-me ultrajada.
Para quê tanto brio?
Para quê tanto esforço?
Para quê tanta entrega?

Que verdade é esta que nos impõem,
que carrega tamanha injustiça,
tamanha opacidade e tamanha
alienação?
Que sentido é este que nos impõem?
Estaremos nós assim tão absortos e
adormecidos
no nosso dia-a-dia torpe,
repetitivo e alienado,
que nos faz perder o
discernimento, o sentido de justiça?

Chega! Basta!

Fazem de nós marionetas,
demasiado bem articuladas,
decerto, mas simples
marionetas,
que obedecem piamente ao movimento
sincopado
de quem as manobra, de quem faz
delas o que quer!

Chega! Basta!

Onde estão os princípios?
Onde está a coerência?
Onde está a justiça?
Não sei!
Mas sei onde está a raiva,
onde está o desalento.
onde está a frustração.

Ser Professor já não é partilha!
Ser Professor já não é
companheirismo!
Ser Professor já não é Ser Humano!

Ser Professor, hoje, é ser
aquilo que não quero ser,
que nunca fui e
que nunca sonhei ser.

Is there a “perfect body?”

2011-02-21T09:41:00.004Z

A text by ANA NOGUEIRA, 9th B - 14 years old

The expression "perfect body" doesn´t exist!

In fact, nothing in the world is perfect. There are many things that influence people negatively related to the body.These are magazines, TV, Internet: in a few words - The Media.Media misleads people with perfect images that aren´t true.

Many teenagers are always thinking about their body - if they are fat or thin and that is ridiculous!

The body isn´t going to show anything different, but you!

This problem, of being obsessed with the body, brings many health problems like anorexia, bulimia and steroids abuse.

If people want to feel good about themselves, they just need to follow a good diet and do physical exercise.

Remember, our body is our life!

Just be yourself with no shame!

TEENAGERS & BODY IMAGE

2011-02-21T09:08:00.002Z

A text by ANDREIA COSTA, 9th A - 14 years old

BODY IMAGE

I believe when we become teenagers, body image is one of the aspects we start worrying about. I think this concern is a natural act, but after a while it starts influencing you.

We all read magazines, watch movies, surf the internet. We all have our role model, style, preferences. But do we choose them, because our friends did it, or because we think it´s the best for us?

My thoughts are that most teenage boys and girls make their choices keeping in mind their friend´s opinion or a magazine article.

Some teen have an obsession on looking perfect, having a perfect style, having a perfect haircut, having the perfect body. All this is influenced by magazines photos, models, actors - you name it!

My opinion is that we must look for something that makes us feel good and proud about who we are. The problem is our society.The image comes first, but we must fight agains it!

Hi!

I challenged my O.I. class to write about the History of the sport they love so much - FOOTBALL.

So, this Powerpoint was done today by one of my CEF students - Emanuel.
All the 13 students did theirs, but I had then to select the one I thought was better - this is the one!

Well, let me remind you of something:

Our school is celebrating this year its 10th anniversary. So, congratulations to all of those who have passed by and are still there contributing to make it a better school.

Well, four years ago, I had the brilliant idea of organizing a school trip to London. So, above you have some of the nice memories kept in picture of that trip. It was unique and fantastic. A big kiss to my older students and fellow teachers who went on this ride!!!!

In a separate bowl, sift the baking soda, cinnamon, salt and flour, then gradually add it to the egg mixture; do not over mix. Add the pineapple and syrup, coconut, walnuts and carrots, and beat well. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Invert onto a cooling rack and cool completely. Serves 12 to 14.

ENJOY YOUR CARROT CAKE!

ST. PATRICK`S DAY

In the country of Scotland, about 400 years after the death of Jesus, there lived a young lad named Patrick. His father was wealthy and respected, and Patrick had a good life. He thanked God often for the blessings he had been given.

Then one day, at the age of sixteen, Patrick's life changed. He was captured by a group of pirates, who bound him and took him to Ireland, where he was forced to live as a slave and tend sheep for his owner.

Patrick was not allowed to do as he wished. Though his life was no longer his own, neither did it belong to his owner - for Patrick knew that his true Master was Jesus, and through Him he prayed and continued to thank God for all that he had. He knew that all things work together for good to those who love God.

Day upon day, year after year, Patrick prayed, while his faith continued to grow. He began to have visions from God, and the way to escape was revealed to him. The visions led Patrick to a ship, on which he stowed away to the northern coast of Gaul. After six years of slavery, Patrick was finally free!

In Gaul, years later, Patrick realized that his life should be to serve God, and he became a priest. He had another vision, which told him that he must return to Ireland, where he had been a slave, to preach God's word.

TheIrish people at that time, did not believe in God, and worshipped pagan images of snakes.Patrick lived and preached in Ireland for forty years, converting all of Ireland to Christianity,and during that time he became a Bishop.

The symbols, carvings and statues of snakes, which the Irish had once worshipped, were burned and destroyed; and the souls of the Irish were blessed by their conversion.Patrick died on March 17, around the year 461,comforted in the knowledge that Ireland now belonged to God.

The shamrock symbolizes the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

The green colour is the symbol of Ireland as well as the symbol of luck and good fortune.

Ireland is also called the Emerald Island, because of its green landscape, too.

So, now you know a little more about Ireland and its Patron - St.Patrick.

Never forget : " HAVING EDUCATION is HAVING FREEDOM OF CHOICE"
