La educación Prohibida
Today we start watching this documentary about education and the system of education that is used all around the world and how this old system has to be changed. I watch this with an open mind but also analyzing everything and criticizing the points that I doesn't consider correct. Today we only watch apart of the movie because it was very long. At the end of watching this part. Feel a little confuse about the theories that was showed in this film and the economic principles that I believed. Also I feel very identificated with the students that doesn't learn and like the normal and common system of schooling. I recognize that in school the last years I didn't learn some much because I only memorize or do tasks and tests in the school to be graduated but not because I want to learn.
My study habits are very bad. I’m an i person that only do things that I'm committed to to only to commit with someone else but not for my own learning. This new way of learning is the one that the documentary proposes is the one that we are using now at Michael Polanyi College. I really believe that this way of learning is better that the traditional one. But I have some doubts in how the children’s learn moral values and how to be educated with the society. I will wait until the end the film to view if they’re an answer to my question about values.
