Strike.

In this time, the strike is very popular in the public universities and schools, but, it is effective?

Today the most important thing in the society is the economy, the strikes serve when affect the economy, so, our strike affects the economy?

No and they know it. Everybody knows that the strike doesn’t affect the economy, the strike is a battle outcry, the strike is for us.

So, what are my reasons to go on strike? do not matter, because I'm in the minority. I do not like the politics based on feelings. In think that is important to voice with marches but Chile will change with projects and structured politics.

I do not agree with the strike because it has negative consequences: the strike produces frustration and exhausts all forces.

I have not gotten anything from this strike, on the contrary, has affected negatively my academic career, I will know less stuff. For example, in the subject of educational psychology, we had three or four classes. I want to be a educational psychology.

When I finish my career I want to work for Chile, but how can I be a good professional if I do not receive the minimum knowledge?

I also want to change things but we can’t keep using the same methods that have failed for years.

So schools kill creativity?

Hello everybody!

First, I want to remember that we are in difficult times: long strike is coming, January classes also, and the free education? Someday… I hope.

Speaking of education, in the class saw an interesting video (very funny, really), I laughed a lot with him but that does not mean that the video does not make sense. In fact, this video reminded me many truths about the archaic educational system. This video is called ‘Sir Ken Robinson's talk "Do Schools Kill Creativity?"’

The title is a question and I have an answer long ago: YES! THIS education kills creativity, but not only creativity, kills the freedom.

This education this education destroys the real person and makes robots or worse: professionals without passion, metrosexuals, etc. Because this education is reproduction of the market.

The video mentions the invention of ADHD and how it was used to control the education. A shame for psychiatry and psychology...

Finally, I think it's very important to emphasize the task of psychologists in education. Our work is an academic and practical work because we need to know and understand our subject to implement in the society. Psychology can do much for education.
