If I were the Minister of Education

I think of Froilán María dancing on a green hill, while I am frozen in an armchair enjoying A Moonless Night. More than a game, it’s a work of art. Writer and translator Juan Diego Botto Federico Garcia Lorca and, among many other things, it tells us about unforgettable moments. When we die, we won’t remember the hours we spent at the computer, shopping, or cleaning the bathroom. Many of our memories will be linked to moments related to art. The feeling that listening to a symphony evokes in us, the enthusiasm we feel while dancing, or how a text can narrow us down. Theatre, painting, dance, music, singing enrich the soul and are absent in our educational model. Only the children of families who can pay their extracurricular fees in gold can access this higher education. The rest will always have to play the flute. If I were the Minister of Education, I would include the mandatory application of different artistic expressions in my teaching plans. Art makes us better people What are we waiting for?

Nazareth Castellanos is one of my latest discoveries and now I can hardly live without it. The neuroscientist explains why breathing, meditation, physical exercise, and the microbiota are important factors for good neuron and brain health. The microbiota thing is costing me a little more, but the rest is quite accessible. Paying attention to what we do, breathing consciously and encouraging physical activity are activities that we can encourage in many areas. The first, of course, is the educational one. If sport has been shown to improve brain plasticity, its daily practice from childhood should be insisted upon in schools. Just as we do not question that our children should learn the corners and get to know the European capitals, we should not hesitate to argue that they should exercise for at least an hour and lubricate their bodies (and minds). one day. Many parents avoid making significant investments in extra-curricular activities if their education plans include this practice. The reality today is that the greater the economic capacity, the more likely it is to be healthy. Sad.

And if I were the minister of sports matters, for anything worthwhile, I would promote recreational sports for children and youth far beyond competitive sports. When we assume we won’t have girls mireia belmonte anyone Alexia Putellas And that our kids will never win championships like Rafa Nadal (and that’s not all that important), what if we encouraged friendly football and basketball games or get-togethers for hikes in the mountains? More sports and fewer medals. If I were the minister, I would make a big fuss.
