00:00:11.578 --> 00:00:12.512
I studied in public school,
00:00:12.512 --> 00:00:14.848
I had many teachers and I thought:
00:00:14.848 --> 00:00:18.184
\"The class I give won\'t be the
same as the classes I took.\"
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.689
I had an authoritarian upbringing,
00:00:22.689 --> 00:00:24.657
I was called stupid a few times.
00:00:26.059 --> 00:00:28.161
The idea I had of a teacher
00:00:28.161 --> 00:00:29.763
was that holder of knowledge,
00:00:29.763 --> 00:00:31.898
who entered the classroom
and ruled everything,
00:00:31.898 --> 00:00:33.433
\"shut up, be quiet\".
00:00:34.501 --> 00:00:36.369
We are in the 21st century
00:00:36.369 --> 00:00:38.405
with an 18th century model of education.
00:00:39.572 --> 00:00:41.307
It is a model that is not working.
00:00:41.674 --> 00:00:43.710
The school is not progressing.
00:00:44.477 --> 00:00:48.081
What can change society is education.
00:00:48.481 --> 00:00:51.317
Education is a building, a castle.
00:00:51.317 --> 00:00:54.120
And the basis of education is
Early Childhood Education.
00:01:26.820 --> 00:01:28.721
No Brazilian state has reached
00:01:28.721 --> 00:01:30.924
in High School the established goal.
00:01:30.957 --> 00:01:34.294
In Sao Paulo, elementary and high school
00:01:34.294 --> 00:01:37.230
lagged behind in the main quality indicator.
00:01:38.164 --> 00:01:39.332
I studied in public school.
00:01:39.332 --> 00:01:41.935
I had teachers who inspired me
00:01:41.935 --> 00:01:44.104
to be another teacher.
00:01:44.838 --> 00:01:47.040
I will teach other people\'s children
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:48.908
like I was teaching my son.
00:01:49.175 --> 00:01:51.211
And I have done it.
00:01:52.812 --> 00:01:55.782
The students I deal with have noticed
00:01:55.782 --> 00:01:57.817
and the result has been very good.
00:02:06.693 --> 00:02:08.294
I work at two schools.
00:02:08.294 --> 00:02:12.465
In Angra, I have Elementary School classes
00:02:12.465 --> 00:02:14.601
and, in Mangaratiba,
00:02:14.601 --> 00:02:17.337
I work with high school.
00:02:17.470 --> 00:02:21.241
On Mondays and Thursdays,
I wake up at 4:15 am,
00:02:21.574 --> 00:02:23.109
to get there before 7am.
00:02:23.109 --> 00:02:25.545
I stay until 5:15.
00:02:25.912 --> 00:02:28.615
And then I take two more buses to leave.
00:02:28.615 --> 00:02:29.649
This in Mangaratiba.
00:02:38.858 --> 00:02:42.061
Now, when it\'s Angra, on
Wednesdays and Fridays,
00:02:42.562 --> 00:02:43.563
it\'s more tiring.
00:02:43.730 --> 00:02:47.267
I wake up at 3:15, take four buses,
00:02:47.267 --> 00:02:49.769
then the same process I did coming
00:02:49.769 --> 00:02:51.838
I do returning, four more buses returning.
00:02:51.838 --> 00:02:53.873
Then I\'ll be home after 10pm.
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.143
This motivation is because I, as a teacher,
00:02:57.143 --> 00:02:58.645
I have a social role.
00:02:58.645 --> 00:03:01.080
In fact, I don\'t even like
that word \"teacher\" very much.
00:03:01.681 --> 00:03:03.383
I like \"educator\".
00:03:29.976 --> 00:03:32.111
I came from a very humble family
00:03:33.146 --> 00:03:34.180
with little study.
00:03:35.515 --> 00:03:37.784
I was raised by my grandfather
and my grandmother
00:03:37.784 --> 00:03:40.587
and they always brought
this importance of studying.
00:03:41.521 --> 00:03:43.456
And I had my uncle as a model.
00:03:43.456 --> 00:03:45.592
So when he arrived,
it was a party for him,
00:03:45.592 --> 00:03:47.293
it was the teacher arriving.
00:03:47.293 --> 00:03:49.062
And I ended up seeing it all,
00:03:49.062 --> 00:03:51.598
all that movement and
I was enchanted by it.
00:03:57.770 --> 00:03:59.806
I\'ve always been passionate about books
00:03:59.806 --> 00:04:02.242
and fed by books, because my grandfather
00:04:02.242 --> 00:04:04.477
fed me like this.
My grandmother too.
00:04:04.477 --> 00:04:07.313
Even though she only had up to 4th grade,
00:04:07.313 --> 00:04:11.417
she always thought it was important
for us to read, write,
00:04:11.417 --> 00:04:14.654
so much so that the profession
she most respects
00:04:14.654 --> 00:04:16.256
it\'s the teacher.
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.595
I did my Bachelor of Education,
I graduated as a teacher,
00:04:22.595 --> 00:04:24.063
I started working in schools,
00:04:24.063 --> 00:04:27.000
until I started giving tutoring classes to
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.868
children with learning difficulties.
00:04:32.939 --> 00:04:34.474
Good morning, Andrew!
00:04:35.675 --> 00:04:37.110
You can play, okay?
00:04:38.311 --> 00:04:40.913
I gradually became enchanted by education,
00:04:40.913 --> 00:04:42.615
but I saw that I wasn\'t meant to be there,
00:04:42.615 --> 00:04:44.450
because there maybe I wouldn\'t
make much difference
00:04:44.450 --> 00:04:45.818
as much I wanted to make.
00:04:46.653 --> 00:04:48.721
I had to stay before that.
00:04:58.865 --> 00:05:00.166
David Luca, help me.
00:05:00.166 --> 00:05:02.635
Artur de Lima, help me.
00:05:03.436 --> 00:05:04.704
Please.
00:05:05.171 --> 00:05:06.472
We are
00:05:06.472 --> 00:05:09.509
the Nova Jerusalem Nursery Community Group,
00:05:09.909 --> 00:05:11.878
We are in a sub-neighborhood of Rocinha slum,
00:05:11.878 --> 00:05:12.879
called Dirty Clothes.
00:05:13.179 --> 00:05:15.548
It is one of the poorest
neighborhoods in Rocinha.
00:05:16.115 --> 00:05:18.651
We believe that the teacher here
00:05:18.651 --> 00:05:19.585
is a mediator.
00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:22.889
He has to mediate this child\'s school life,
00:05:22.889 --> 00:05:24.457
that starts here.
00:05:24.457 --> 00:05:28.428
So there\'s no teacher here who says shut up,
00:05:28.428 --> 00:05:30.296
this whole thing, there\'s no teacher\'s desk here.
00:05:30.296 --> 00:05:31.831
Because kindergarten teacher
00:05:31.831 --> 00:05:33.866
must have contact with the student.
00:05:34.133 --> 00:05:34.967
wheel.
00:05:35.802 --> 00:05:37.537
-One, two, three and...
-Now!
00:05:38.137 --> 00:05:39.672
He has to be on the floor with the student,
00:05:39.672 --> 00:05:41.040
he has to look eye to eye,
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.510
he has to have affection, because
if he doesn\'t have that,
00:05:45.178 --> 00:05:46.379
Arthur, get a name.
00:05:46.612 --> 00:05:47.647
learning doesn\'t happen.
00:05:47.647 --> 00:05:49.449
We were known as daycare centers, daycare.
00:05:49.449 --> 00:05:51.050
It was child storage.
00:05:51.417 --> 00:05:53.286
You didn\'t need to have a training
00:05:53.286 --> 00:05:54.954
to be a kindergarten teacher.
00:05:54.954 --> 00:05:56.923
You just had to like children.
00:05:57.490 --> 00:05:59.392
It was really believed that the child
00:05:59.392 --> 00:06:00.426
was a blank page.
00:06:00.426 --> 00:06:02.295
In the case of the New Jerusalem here,
00:06:02.295 --> 00:06:03.963
the look has always been this,
00:06:03.963 --> 00:06:05.765
that the child is not a blank page,
00:06:05.765 --> 00:06:07.467
that we have to respect the child,
00:06:07.467 --> 00:06:09.435
respect the child\'s history,
00:06:09.769 --> 00:06:12.338
I have to respect that child\'s family.
00:06:12.338 --> 00:06:13.773
When they arrive sleepy,
00:06:13.773 --> 00:06:15.942
I won\'t question why they\'re sleepy.
00:06:16.342 --> 00:06:18.578
I can\'t imagine what happened
to them the night before.
00:06:18.778 --> 00:06:19.912
I\'ll let them sleep.
00:06:20.179 --> 00:06:21.314
If they don\'t want to do an activity,
00:06:21.314 --> 00:06:22.949
I will respect this child.
00:06:23.182 --> 00:06:25.485
Rafael, go put your name there, please.
00:06:26.786 --> 00:06:29.522
I offer myself to them, they
know they can count on me
00:06:29.522 --> 00:06:30.790
and I\'m here.
00:06:34.660 --> 00:06:36.295
In 2015, I find out
00:06:36.462 --> 00:06:37.797
that there was a national project,
00:06:37.964 --> 00:06:39.832
I had already heard about it,
the No Party School.
00:06:39.966 --> 00:06:42.201
So I go to the Chamber\'s website,
I find the project
00:06:42.902 --> 00:06:46.672
and I find out that it wasn\'t
presented that year,
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:48.408
as it was still attached
00:06:48.408 --> 00:06:50.042
to two older ones.
00:06:50.643 --> 00:06:53.913
And these projects had a positive opinion
00:06:53.913 --> 00:06:55.281
of the Permanent Commission on Education,
00:06:55.281 --> 00:06:56.682
indicating that they should be approved.
00:06:56.916 --> 00:06:59.685
Wow, the Education Commission
saying it must be approved!
00:06:59.852 --> 00:07:01.821
And it\'s a very problematic project.
00:07:01.954 --> 00:07:05.124
If you take the Chamber\'s original project,
00:07:05.124 --> 00:07:08.661
PL 867, 2015, its Article 3 reads as follows:
00:07:08.661 --> 00:07:10.897
\"It is forbidden in the classroom
00:07:10.897 --> 00:07:13.966
to carry out political-
ideological indoctrination\",
00:07:13.966 --> 00:07:17.437
without defining what that would
be, \"as well as the realization
00:07:17.437 --> 00:07:19.372
of any activities that could contradict
00:07:19.372 --> 00:07:21.641
the moral values of the family\".
00:07:22.675 --> 00:07:25.445
And then you ask, \"How so?\".
00:07:25.711 --> 00:07:28.881
If a family defends racist or sexist values,
00:07:29.182 --> 00:07:31.184
Can\'t a teacher problematize this at school?
00:07:31.184 --> 00:07:32.485
and it shocked me
00:07:32.485 --> 00:07:35.021
for the content of the project and also
00:07:35.021 --> 00:07:36.189
for the action of the movement,
00:07:36.189 --> 00:07:39.158
which disseminates hate speech against teachers.
00:07:41.494 --> 00:07:42.995
Most people, when they heard about
00:07:42.995 --> 00:07:46.432
School Without Party, tends to
immediately declare its membership,
00:07:46.432 --> 00:07:48.835
because the name brings us a dichotomy
00:07:48.835 --> 00:07:51.270
between a school or without or with a party.
00:07:51.270 --> 00:07:53.039
But that\'s not what\'s at stake.
00:07:53.039 --> 00:07:56.042
I try to defend that it\'s a school project
00:07:56.042 --> 00:07:58.244
that tries to destroy the educational
dimension of the school.
00:07:58.511 --> 00:08:01.647
The name takes advantage of a negative view,
00:08:01.647 --> 00:08:02.748
with respect to politics.
00:08:03.649 --> 00:08:07.353
Trying to reduce the partisan
issue to politics.
00:08:07.353 --> 00:08:09.922
Only this is especially perverse,
00:08:10.356 --> 00:08:13.960
because you end up destroying the
only possibility to change
00:08:14.393 --> 00:08:15.561
what is being criticized.
00:08:15.761 --> 00:08:18.664
Because if we don\'t get
involved with politics,
00:08:19.031 --> 00:08:21.934
if we don\'t get involved
with collective organization
00:08:21.934 --> 00:08:24.337
of our world, who will do it?
00:08:24.837 --> 00:08:27.340
And we then founded a research group,
00:08:27.340 --> 00:08:30.276
which is the Center for
Studies in Democratic Education.
00:08:30.576 --> 00:08:32.578
How do we think, then, about
this democratic education?
00:08:32.578 --> 00:08:34.380
We\'re thinking about it
00:08:34.380 --> 00:08:36.749
as if to look at the school
from various scales,
00:08:36.749 --> 00:08:38.518
from various points of view.
00:08:39.151 --> 00:08:40.653
For example, Democratic Management.
00:08:40.887 --> 00:08:42.889
And then the involvement
of the school community,
00:08:42.889 --> 00:08:44.757
thought not only about
how people are there,
00:08:44.757 --> 00:08:46.659
but in the surrounding community.
00:08:46.893 --> 00:08:49.929
And it is a moment in which
the school looks at its community,
00:08:49.929 --> 00:08:51.163
in which it is inserted, and asks:
00:08:51.163 --> 00:08:53.933
\"How will this school fit
into this reality?\".
00:08:58.137 --> 00:09:00.139
Many teachers I dealt with
00:09:00.139 --> 00:09:02.842
it seems they had no patience with the student.
00:09:03.376 --> 00:09:05.578
They imparted knowledge
00:09:05.578 --> 00:09:06.646
and we had to relay
00:09:06.646 --> 00:09:09.549
their knowledge in a test.
00:09:09.549 --> 00:09:10.816
It\'s a banking education.
00:09:10.917 --> 00:09:12.485
Joao Vitor!
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:14.287
-Alright?
-Yep
00:09:14.287 --> 00:09:17.590
It is an 18th century model of education.
00:09:17.657 --> 00:09:21.594
I have to help kids to produce knowledge,
00:09:21.794 --> 00:09:24.230
not reproduce knowledge.
00:09:24.463 --> 00:09:25.631
Hi Stefani!
00:09:26.132 --> 00:09:27.800
I like to work
00:09:27.800 --> 00:09:29.869
outside the four walls too.
00:09:30.069 --> 00:09:31.971
I take the students out of school,
00:09:32.305 --> 00:09:36.042
for us to have another teaching perspective.
00:09:36.275 --> 00:09:37.143
Hi Lorena.
00:09:37.310 --> 00:09:39.178
Put them inside their reality,
00:09:39.178 --> 00:09:40.613
where they live.
00:09:40.780 --> 00:09:43.215
Establish a connection there.
00:09:46.052 --> 00:09:46.786
guys,
00:09:46.786 --> 00:09:49.422
Let\'s think about your social rights.
00:09:49.422 --> 00:09:52.525
You will address your social rights
00:09:52.858 --> 00:09:54.360
where you live.
00:09:54.961 --> 00:09:56.963
how? Making memes.
00:09:57.830 --> 00:10:01.667
The title was \"The perception of social rights,
00:10:01.667 --> 00:10:06.939
from the student\'s point of view,
with the use of new technologies,
00:10:07.106 --> 00:10:09.742
in the space where he lives\".
00:10:10.376 --> 00:10:12.345
What was the job proposal?
00:10:12.678 --> 00:10:19.185
It was you producing memes
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.223
over whose social rights?
00:10:24.690 --> 00:10:25.324
Ours
00:10:26.392 --> 00:10:27.059
Right.
00:10:27.660 --> 00:10:29.996
Do you remember social rights?
00:10:30.596 --> 00:10:30.997
I remember.
00:10:31.297 --> 00:10:32.965
Health...
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.668
leisure, security...
00:10:35.801 --> 00:10:40.039
Education, transportation, work, housing.
00:10:40.206 --> 00:10:41.974
Because the school has a defined role.
00:10:42.375 --> 00:10:44.076
The school is not neutral.
00:10:44.644 --> 00:10:46.679
My conception of education,
00:10:46.912 --> 00:10:51.083
critical, transformative,
emancipatory education.
00:10:51.384 --> 00:10:52.351
This is not new,
00:10:52.752 --> 00:10:56.155
but there are interests out there
that education is not like that.
00:10:56.756 --> 00:10:58.858
A central point, then, for discussion
00:10:58.858 --> 00:11:00.126
about democratic education
00:11:00.126 --> 00:11:02.128
is the elaboration of the
political-pedagogical project.
00:11:02.561 --> 00:11:04.730
The political-pedagogical
project is when the school
00:11:04.730 --> 00:11:07.233
will understand itself as a community.
00:11:07.299 --> 00:11:08.267
Go look around you and say:
00:11:08.968 --> 00:11:11.337
\"How does this school fit into this reality?\".
00:11:11.737 --> 00:11:13.272
And the political-pedagogical project
00:11:13.272 --> 00:11:14.740
not to be made by teachers
00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:15.941
locked in an office.
00:11:16.342 --> 00:11:18.044
It is to have the participation of the parents,
00:11:18.177 --> 00:11:20.746
of other education professionals, of students.
00:11:21.247 --> 00:11:24.116
So, in this process, you think the school
00:11:24.116 --> 00:11:28.287
as an organism that is there inserted in reality.
00:11:28.287 --> 00:11:29.388
When we\'re doing this,
00:11:29.388 --> 00:11:30.489
Do you know what we are doing?
00:11:31.223 --> 00:11:32.358
Our right.
00:11:32.491 --> 00:11:33.526
Our right.
00:11:33.826 --> 00:11:34.927
That I can also call?
00:11:36.095 --> 00:11:36.929
city...
00:11:37.463 --> 00:11:39.031
Citizenship.
00:11:41.767 --> 00:11:42.868
Within all this discussion
00:11:42.868 --> 00:11:44.103
about democratic education,
00:11:44.103 --> 00:11:46.839
talking about Early Childhood Education is central.
00:11:48.207 --> 00:11:50.176
It has a very basic dimension, for example,
00:11:50.176 --> 00:11:51.677
of building autonomy
00:11:51.677 --> 00:11:54.180
which is essential in Early Childhood Education.
00:11:54.447 --> 00:11:56.248
Let\'s see our ta...
00:11:56.282 --> 00:11:58.017
task!
00:11:58.217 --> 00:12:00.019
Almost everyone came.
00:12:00.186 --> 00:12:01.420
Almost everyone came.
00:12:01.420 --> 00:12:04.423
Early Childhood Education is the gateway
00:12:04.423 --> 00:12:06.325
for the child in society.
00:12:06.726 --> 00:12:08.761
They stay with us eight hours a day.
00:12:08.828 --> 00:12:10.162
In these eight hours, they have to
00:12:10.162 --> 00:12:13.299
learn to share their attention, share toys,
00:12:13.499 --> 00:12:14.500
do activity,
00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:16.736
express themselves, talk.
00:12:16.736 --> 00:12:19.138
-Who took that book?
-I!
00:12:21.774 --> 00:12:24.043
-Who read it to you Duda?
-My mom.
00:12:24.043 --> 00:12:27.046
-Did your mother read it? And did she like it?
-Yea.
00:12:27.179 --> 00:12:29.248
What was your favorite part of the book?
00:12:29.448 --> 00:12:31.383
Can\'t hit, can\'t fight.
00:12:31.383 --> 00:12:34.019
They have to learn here to socialize.
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.988
Look here at the drawing that Artur made.
00:12:36.055 --> 00:12:37.523
Let me see. Oh!
00:12:37.790 --> 00:12:38.958
Very cool.
00:12:38.958 --> 00:12:40.493
-Where?
-Here.
00:12:40.493 --> 00:12:42.261
Uhh! Wow! How beautiful!
00:12:42.294 --> 00:12:44.697
-Isn\'t it beautiful, people?
-Yeees.
00:12:44.997 --> 00:12:46.766
Its beautiful.
00:12:46.999 --> 00:12:50.336
They\'re used to making small choices,
00:12:50.436 --> 00:12:54.240
to position themselves, they are respected.
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.776
Take a stand, they\'ll grow as citizens
00:12:56.776 --> 00:12:58.444
knowing the rights, duties,
00:12:58.444 --> 00:12:59.445
what should they say.
00:12:59.578 --> 00:13:01.914
So everything that this child
learns in Kindergarten
00:13:01.914 --> 00:13:02.982
they take into their lives.
00:13:03.215 --> 00:13:05.918
What\'s up guys? Was it
worth our meeting here?
00:13:05.985 --> 00:13:07.720
Yeah
00:13:08.087 --> 00:13:08.721
greeting
00:13:11.157 --> 00:13:13.292
-Let\'s go?
-Let\'s.
00:13:19.365 --> 00:13:21.867
Knowledge is power.
00:13:21.934 --> 00:13:24.837
-Is it or isn\'t it, Lorena?
- That\'s true.
00:13:24.904 --> 00:13:26.539
Knowledge is power.
00:13:26.906 --> 00:13:27.540
worth it
00:14:03.509 --> 00:14:06.779
From 8 am to noon, more or less,
00:14:07.146 --> 00:14:10.316
I\'m with them, with the children.
00:14:10.316 --> 00:14:12.084
I am a kindergarten teacher.
00:14:12.117 --> 00:14:14.486
I\'m doing activities, telling stories,
00:14:14.520 --> 00:14:16.555
helping in the bath, giving lunch.
00:14:16.722 --> 00:14:19.091
Experiencing all that, together with them.
00:14:19.625 --> 00:14:22.494
From noon to 4:30 pm, 5 pm,
00:14:22.494 --> 00:14:24.196
I am the coordinator Camila.
00:14:24.563 --> 00:14:26.665
Then I go to the secretariat, make plans,
00:14:26.665 --> 00:14:28.267
I answer the teachers.
00:14:28.267 --> 00:14:30.502
On Wednesday, reproduction of
the story with the class,
00:14:30.502 --> 00:14:31.637
kind of theater.
00:14:31.737 --> 00:14:33.305
The teacher\'s life is no longer easy,
00:14:33.439 --> 00:14:35.474
they are already devalued,
00:14:35.474 --> 00:14:37.576
but the kindergarten teacher
00:14:37.743 --> 00:14:38.811
is even more.
00:14:39.211 --> 00:14:40.246
That\'s why our fight,
00:14:40.246 --> 00:14:43.616
of this early childhood education teacher training.
00:14:43.616 --> 00:14:45.084
\'Cause you gotta know what you\'re doing
00:14:45.084 --> 00:14:46.986
with that child in the room.
00:14:47.152 --> 00:14:50.122
When you get into that of just liking children,
00:14:50.122 --> 00:14:53.259
it doesn\'t support anything.
00:14:57.930 --> 00:15:01.066
When it\'s 5pm, from here
00:15:01.066 --> 00:15:03.068
I go to college.
00:15:07.473 --> 00:15:09.642
I do postgraduate studies in Psychopedagogy.
00:15:09.775 --> 00:15:11.644
I chose to do postgraduate studies in Psychopedagogy
00:15:11.644 --> 00:15:13.512
to better serve my students.
00:15:14.113 --> 00:15:16.482
And the interesting thing about it
00:15:16.482 --> 00:15:19.084
is that these meanings help to find the way
00:15:19.084 --> 00:15:20.386
of psychopedagogical practice.
00:15:20.386 --> 00:15:22.454
What will I build as a psychopedagogue?
00:15:22.454 --> 00:15:25.291
How will this path of psychopedagogue be?
00:15:26.191 --> 00:15:27.626
At the ProSaber, I understood
00:15:27.626 --> 00:15:29.061
that child is child.
00:15:29.628 --> 00:15:31.830
That a child has the right to be a child
00:15:31.830 --> 00:15:34.833
and they learn as per their demand.
00:15:35.334 --> 00:15:38.771
And I have, as a mediator, to offer this child
00:15:38.771 --> 00:15:41.874
experiences so they can learn.
00:15:42.608 --> 00:15:46.078
They only learn through the experiences I offer.
00:15:46.545 --> 00:15:48.580
So I have to respect them like a child,
00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:50.416
respect space, age,
00:15:50.416 --> 00:15:52.685
respect the way they do.
00:15:52.685 --> 00:15:56.822
Each one is unique, each has a mark.
00:15:57.189 --> 00:15:59.925
They are not mere toys.
00:15:59.925 --> 00:16:02.394
They are people, little people.
00:16:02.394 --> 00:16:05.698
They are children with potential.
00:16:05.998 --> 00:16:08.634
And I have to feed those potentialities in them,
00:16:08.634 --> 00:16:10.035
because I know that, up ahead,
00:16:10.035 --> 00:16:11.937
the experiences they are having here
00:16:11.937 --> 00:16:15.074
there will be a good return
in Elementary School.
00:16:15.074 --> 00:16:16.642
...several heads.
00:16:24.016 --> 00:16:26.385
With a high school class I have,
00:16:26.385 --> 00:16:29.121
we did urbanization work.
00:16:29.121 --> 00:16:31.790
Because it\'s within their curriculum.
00:16:31.790 --> 00:16:34.259
We thought, thought, thought
00:16:34.259 --> 00:16:37.329
and let\'s make a mockup of a slum?
00:16:37.629 --> 00:16:42.434
The title was \"The process of urbanization
00:16:42.434 --> 00:16:43.769
in underserved areas
00:16:44.870 --> 00:16:46.538
and the performance of the Public Power\".
00:16:46.772 --> 00:16:51.243
From there, we established connections.
00:16:51.677 --> 00:16:54.546
They realized that they had other ramifications,
00:16:54.546 --> 00:16:55.781
other problems.
00:16:56.181 --> 00:16:59.952
Did you understand what the
urbanization process is like?
00:16:59.952 --> 00:17:03.355
Did you understand how it came about
00:17:03.355 --> 00:17:05.591
what we call slum and now community?
00:17:05.591 --> 00:17:06.625
Yup.
00:17:06.859 --> 00:17:09.495
The first favela or slum in Rio was the?
00:17:09.495 --> 00:17:10.896
Providence Hill.
00:17:11.497 --> 00:17:12.564
Providence Hill.
00:17:12.865 --> 00:17:15.968
Remember why the name \"favela\"?
00:17:16.468 --> 00:17:19.438
-Because of the plant.
-From the plant. That\'s right.
00:17:19.738 --> 00:17:21.273
And Providence Hill, remember?
00:17:21.273 --> 00:17:24.209
Because people were waiting...
00:17:24.209 --> 00:17:27.012
The providence that never came.
00:17:27.613 --> 00:17:30.883
Has anything changed since then?
00:17:30.883 --> 00:17:32.751
No... It only got worse, actually.
00:17:32.751 --> 00:17:33.986
Still the same thing.
00:17:33.986 --> 00:17:36.288
Their reality is horrible.
00:17:36.288 --> 00:17:38.791
Does the government get there?
00:17:39.158 --> 00:17:40.159
No.
00:17:40.626 --> 00:17:42.394
And when it arrives, how does it arrive?
00:17:42.995 --> 00:17:45.531
- Aggressively.
- Disrespect, huh?
00:17:47.266 --> 00:17:49.068
Robson arrived with this proposal
00:17:49.068 --> 00:17:50.269
to do this work.
00:17:50.269 --> 00:17:51.637
It was a pretty big work.
00:17:51.637 --> 00:17:53.038
At first, we were a little scared,
00:17:53.038 --> 00:17:55.274
because it had a very large proportion,
00:17:55.274 --> 00:17:57.409
the project was to do down here,
00:17:57.409 --> 00:17:59.211
we ended up doing it in a room.
00:17:59.378 --> 00:18:00.546
It was pretty laborious.
00:18:00.546 --> 00:18:02.147
-Break brick...
00:18:02.147 --> 00:18:06.118
We spent months and months working, you know?
00:18:06.485 --> 00:18:10.789
Dedicating ourselves, coming on days
when we weren\'t supposed to come to school.
00:18:10.789 --> 00:18:13.659
You also prioritized this project.
00:18:14.026 --> 00:18:17.429
-You slept at school, understand?
-You made yourself totally available.
00:18:17.429 --> 00:18:19.064
Our work was a mockup
00:18:19.064 --> 00:18:22.568
about the Providence Hill,
showing only the reality
00:18:22.568 --> 00:18:25.938
of what is happening today in
the slums and in the community.
00:18:29.041 --> 00:18:31.343
The Constitution, in Article 205,
says the following:
00:18:31.343 --> 00:18:34.580
\"Education is everyone\'s right,
00:18:34.580 --> 00:18:37.950
duty of the State and the family,
will be promoted and encouraged
00:18:37.950 --> 00:18:39.485
in collaboration with society,
00:18:39.485 --> 00:18:42.154
for the full development of the person,
00:18:42.154 --> 00:18:44.456
their preparation for the
exercise of citizenship
00:18:44.456 --> 00:18:46.091
and their qualifications for the job\".
00:18:46.391 --> 00:18:47.893
So the Constitution is crystal clear.
00:18:48.193 --> 00:18:50.662
If you look closely at the LDB,
00:18:50.662 --> 00:18:53.298
Law guidelines and bases of
national education,
00:18:53.298 --> 00:18:54.466
it is beautiful.
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:57.970
It works in this sense, to transform,
00:18:58.637 --> 00:19:00.172
emancipate,
00:19:00.739 --> 00:19:04.042
criticize, give autonomy to the student.
00:19:05.811 --> 00:19:07.513
If one of the constitutional goals
00:19:07.513 --> 00:19:09.348
is to prepare for the exercise of citizenship,
00:19:09.348 --> 00:19:10.549
this is a political purpose.
00:19:11.150 --> 00:19:12.918
But when you try to deny that dimension,
00:19:12.918 --> 00:19:14.820
you erase the school like a
00:19:15.053 --> 00:19:18.357
training space for collective life.
00:19:18.524 --> 00:19:21.727
As if each one were just
there to learn content
00:19:21.727 --> 00:19:23.228
to get a job, and that\'s not it.
00:19:23.228 --> 00:19:24.830
The school has a purpose,
00:19:24.830 --> 00:19:27.032
which is to build this common world,
00:19:27.032 --> 00:19:30.068
where we can all live,
respecting other values.
00:19:30.169 --> 00:19:32.437
We see repression today,
00:19:32.838 --> 00:19:35.340
repression, repression...
00:19:35.707 --> 00:19:37.476
We are going in the opposite direction.
00:19:37.543 --> 00:19:41.380
What we have seen across
the country are teachers
00:19:41.446 --> 00:19:44.049
being persecuted for doing their job
00:19:44.049 --> 00:19:46.618
how it should be done.
00:19:46.852 --> 00:19:48.921
And during the visitation of the authorities
00:19:48.921 --> 00:19:50.722
who were there,
00:19:50.722 --> 00:19:57.329
And this post, they gave it another context.
00:19:57.429 --> 00:20:00.098
And because of that, I got a lawsuit.
00:20:01.133 --> 00:20:01.967
Well...
00:20:02.834 --> 00:20:06.405
This saddened me, it gave me a lot of work,
00:20:06.905 --> 00:20:11.043
the students involved were also outraged.
00:20:11.243 --> 00:20:13.245
And the work was very well accepted.
00:20:13.245 --> 00:20:15.514
People looked and said:
\"That happens
00:20:15.514 --> 00:20:17.649
in my community, it happens here\".
00:20:17.983 --> 00:20:19.685
So there was a lot of identification.
00:20:19.685 --> 00:20:22.120
And the censorship happened and we were
00:20:22.354 --> 00:20:25.157
sort of looking for some answer for it.
00:20:25.490 --> 00:20:26.992
And to this day we haven\'t found it.
00:20:27.092 --> 00:20:30.295
This work that was censored, criticized,
00:20:31.063 --> 00:20:34.399
changed from all context arbitrarily
00:20:34.633 --> 00:20:37.236
this work was entered in a competition,
00:20:37.236 --> 00:20:39.838
and it won.
00:20:40.138 --> 00:20:41.440
Oh it\'s liberating
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:46.044
know that we managed to do a job
00:20:46.044 --> 00:20:48.413
and that managed to reach a lot of people
00:20:48.413 --> 00:20:51.016
and that will achieve much more.
00:20:51.216 --> 00:20:53.051
And about us winning the prize,
00:20:53.051 --> 00:20:54.920
you registered the project,
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:56.188
it\'s very satisfying.
00:20:56.221 --> 00:20:58.957
showing the reality, so it was more than deserved
00:20:58.957 --> 00:21:02.728
and to slap that censorship in the face.
00:21:05.998 --> 00:21:07.899
Another central element to think about
00:21:07.899 --> 00:21:10.669
this democratic school today,
00:21:10.669 --> 00:21:14.206
think about an education for Human Rights,
00:21:14.539 --> 00:21:17.276
Human rights to which everyone has rights,
00:21:17.276 --> 00:21:18.877
it is an egalitarian imaginary.
00:21:18.877 --> 00:21:22.848
the discussion of Human Rights
from the environmental issue.
00:21:23.382 --> 00:21:25.284
Human beings are not flying in the void.
00:21:25.550 --> 00:21:27.786
The story I\'m going to tell today is from?
00:21:27.786 --> 00:21:30.989
\"Go away, big green monster.\"
00:21:31.356 --> 00:21:35.460
This energy of mine, this passion of mine,
00:21:35.460 --> 00:21:37.329
my desire to learn comes from children.
00:21:37.329 --> 00:21:39.231
They are what move me.
00:21:39.431 --> 00:21:41.066
-Little eyes?
-Open.
00:21:41.233 --> 00:21:42.901
-Little ears.
-Open.
00:21:42.901 --> 00:21:44.536
-And little mouth.
- Closed.
00:21:44.870 --> 00:21:45.437
Come on.
00:21:45.437 --> 00:21:48.040
They are what drive me.
00:21:48.607 --> 00:21:52.110
Because it\'s...
it\'s the future.
00:21:52.577 --> 00:21:56.181
Go away, big yellow eye!
00:21:57.983 --> 00:22:00.652
Go away, big green monster!
00:22:01.586 --> 00:22:04.423
And don\'t come back until I call you.
00:22:04.756 --> 00:22:07.059
Congratulations!
00:22:08.827 --> 00:22:10.429
What did I bring you?
00:22:16.201 --> 00:22:17.436
I want green.
00:22:17.836 --> 00:22:18.637
I want!
00:22:18.937 --> 00:22:22.307
-I want pink.
-I want yellow.
00:22:22.441 --> 00:22:24.576
People complain a lot about the future.
00:22:24.576 --> 00:22:27.346
\"Oh, it won\'t be worth it\", this, that,
00:22:27.346 --> 00:22:29.548
but what are you doing to change that future?
00:22:29.781 --> 00:22:31.550
All these little folks here
00:22:31.783 --> 00:22:35.354
I believe they will be future
doctors, lawyers, doctors.
00:22:37.756 --> 00:22:40.258
my way of fighting
00:22:41.059 --> 00:22:44.096
for a better society is inside the classroom.
00:22:44.162 --> 00:22:49.968
if I have dedication, love.
00:22:50.202 --> 00:22:51.903
I see myself in their eyes.
00:22:53.438 --> 00:22:54.973
It\'s time to talk about appreciation
00:22:54.973 --> 00:22:57.576
of teachers, student permanence policy,
00:22:57.943 --> 00:23:00.512
guaranteed school infrastructure,
00:23:00.512 --> 00:23:02.280
to think what are the real problems
00:23:02.280 --> 00:23:03.815
of Brazilian education.
00:23:05.217 --> 00:23:07.419
A challenge for us, politically,
00:23:07.419 --> 00:23:09.388
is also to think about how to guarantee
00:23:09.388 --> 00:23:11.423
that these teachers can do their work
00:23:11.590 --> 00:23:13.592
and by doing so, we are ensuring
00:23:13.592 --> 00:23:15.794
the student\'s right to education,
00:23:15.794 --> 00:23:17.629
who are the main victims.
00:23:18.797 --> 00:23:21.666
Really gratifying are the affections.
00:23:21.666 --> 00:23:23.668
It\'s a lot of affection I get from students.
00:23:23.668 --> 00:23:25.003
That makes me happy.
00:23:25.737 --> 00:23:27.439
Education is a construction.
00:23:27.439 --> 00:23:28.607
It is a castle.
00:23:28.607 --> 00:23:29.741
If the base is missing, you don\'t have
00:23:29.741 --> 00:23:32.210
a good subject structure,
00:23:32.210 --> 00:23:34.513
you don\'t have a good
structure of a human being.
00:23:34.513 --> 00:23:37.682
And the basis of education
is Early Childhood Education.
00:23:54.633 --> 00:23:57.068
This is where I want to stay,
and this is why I fight.
00:24:06.912 --> 00:24:14.352
71% of Brazilians are favorable to the discussion of political
subjects in the classroom. 54% support sexual education.
00:24:15.387 --> 00:24:22.494
Among 35 countries, Brazil is the one that least value
teachers. Less than 1 in each 10 Brazilians think that
the students respect teachers in the classroom.
