Bad teacher

¿Qué docente te marcó más en la vida? ¿Por qué?

who is a primary school teacher, has recounted a real scene that she has experienced in her educational center and that shows the reality of conciliation and education in these times of pandemic: children come to class sick because their parents do not have who to leave them with

According to the teacher’s account, up to eight children went to school with a grim face, denying that they were unwell until one of them dared to admit: «Teacher, I feel unwell but my father has told me not to tell you.» . The other seven recognized that their situation was the same.
“They had all given ibuprofen shots and school, but the effect had worn off,” explains the teacher, who points out that they took their temperatures and none of them dropped below 38 degrees: “One was crying because her head hurt. Another because she didn’t want us to call home. The teacher, recently discharged from cancer treatment, called me anxiously and asked me to come up and stay a few minutes for her.”
The teacher warns that this is just one situation that is being experienced in schools and she acknowledges that this, the first after the Christmas holidays, has been the worst week of the pandemic.
“I do not judge at all families who need to go to work to eat and their only resource to reconcile is school. I do not judge that they are terrified and without means ”, she clarifies before admitting that she is concerned that “children are putting the work-life balance of their families ahead of their own health with absolute awareness ”
