Es más fácil educar abriendo dos brazos que un millón de libros | Marco González | TEDxDezaYUlloaED


[Music]
my students say that as professed and very
good storyteller then it is just what
what am I going to do today I am going to
tell two stories that are not part
of my life I’m going to tell you two stories
that are my life that are my life the
first of them starts on August 9
1994 with my mom in a delivery room
full of sweat and today reaching the world
full of placenta and stinking no longer
I’m full of placenta but if it goes
stinking if you do not believe me ask
my ex but he
since he came into the world I am fascinated by
idea of learning to experience life
to know the world fascinates me that idea
from very young I start to learn
the most I could was a person to the
that he was fascinated by knowledge
the more I could learn happier
I was happier and that’s how my
time from my childhood until the day of
today they say that there is a stage of why
I believe that it is not a stage in my case
I think it’s my life the why and
it turns out that from a very early age I
I think since I learned to say it
because I started asking why
why, but it turns out that the biggest
part of the questions I was not asking
I had an answer then in my
fourth there was a red chair
there was a red chair where he spent hours
I would sit in that chair and start
think the why of things a process
of metacognition interesting for a
child of 4 or 5 years finally this
three-hour process of metacognition
ended in vomiting hours if I thought
so much that it ended with a pain of
head
terrible then the time comes in the
that I can finally go to a school
to kindergarten and it turns out that it was a place
where they are made met this need
that I had to learn because a
need for occupation could finally go
to a place where I could learn
for me it was a sacred place and also
for my parents because even when
I was really sick they took me to
forces to kinder then I had to
grab you like it or yes
It was spending time and came to the
primary
in primary something happened
extraordinary I learned to read was
extraordinary for me not for me
family yes because we were in the lane or
I was reading each of the signs
green
[Music]
eat fruits and vegetables
until they get fed up if we already know that
you learned to read lepe if we already told
tell everyone that you already know how to read and so on
It was when I learn to read
there is something that becomes someone who
come back my best friend was a little era
a very famous little one maybe this those of
older generations know him
I always ask the new
generations and they say they do not know it
this little one was a very good
influence as my professors said
As my family said, this little one
called the little larousse dictionary
Encyclopedic was great it was great
because I was coming out of school
opened the little larousse and then
I was beginning to fill with words
very interesting and at the end of the
day I could get with my brother and play
enough and beat him if that was the
motivation to win in the end and when my
dad came to the house with a
Carlit encyclopedia where it comes out
snoopy charlie brown was the most
great and the most interesting thing
he came to elementary school and I start to put
as a matter of judgment this is because it is
because this teacher because this teacher
why why why but why
it turns out that he because at that time I
had was not priority was priority the
why the teacher of the teacher what I
I wanted to learn I went to a second
flat and in the foreground was what my
teacher wanted to teach me
they asked me, no, it was not like that,
they asked
every time and little by little it was attenuated
more this desire to know every time
it was further attenuating this idea that to me
I love to learn because now I do not
I can learn what I want but that
I have to learn what an adult
I hope you learn what my mom expects
to learn what my teacher expects
that learns what society expects
I learned even
they are known as learnings
expected an education filled with
expectations full of expectations the
teacher has them also the
society the family good good
good good and where are the
expectations of the student where they are
spending time was spending time
until he reaches high school and it turns out
that Marco was not only a student,
was son was also the frame too
I was a friend
and one day I was sitting in the classroom
thinking many things and in front of me a
teacher wondering then frame
what is the capital of colombia
at that time I was worth mother of the
capital of colombia I did not care
because at that moment the only thing that
interested in knowing about geography was the
distance between me and my dad for
then my parents had been divorced
I had not known anything for more than a year
of my dad not even if he was alive
or he was dead and there in front of me was
an indifferent teacher with a
expectation that I knew that Bogota
the capital of colombia
and I the only thing I wanted is that
someone would come and give me a hug and
tell me frame everything will be fine not
easy it was not like that time went by and he
put in my head the desire to be
teacher the desire to be a teacher of not
to be the indifferent teacher of being the
teacher who knows the expectations of
your health
Time passed and that frame was there
sitting in the classroom trying to
remember the word to bogota now was
the frame that stood up all the
mornings
he put on his uniform
and then he went to school
Only this time I was not
in the student’s bank was in the
teacher’s chair sitting on the
desk and there were people there
human beings but it turns out that this
frame with uniform he had forgotten about
that this frame that is buttoned goes to your
shirt when leaving your house to go to the
school had forgotten about that
one day he took class
and since he entered the room is a
pupil with raised hand
but yes
lets tantito let me be the
explanation and in the end raises this is
well he was still with his hand raised if
you want to lower your hand right now you have
cramps let me term and give you the
word so that to address doubt
The class explained
now
that was his expectation of the class
know what the teacher thought of the
cinnamon fight would have been simple in
at the beginning of the class arrive and say what
He passed
and answer him and then be able to follow
with my class I asked him hey and that he
I tried to treat everything I told you
I did not know I did not know because what he
I was interested at that moment it was my opinion
about the cinnamon fight was what
I was interested
every day was the same ritual
I thought it was an excellent teacher the
who was still informed the one who was attached
to a curriculum that led to
his planning and he followed it to the foot of the
letter I thought that was the good
teacher but it turns out that he was the teacher
he had forgotten that sitting there in the
classroom had human beings not only
students by then my life was going
wonder
and I had recently graduated from my
race from before finishing my
career already taught and was a teacher in
high school
everything was great everything was great and like
If that were not enough, I felt I had the
woman of my dreams the mornings arrived
I got the car I sat
I took the wheel and the only thing that
in my head I was going to go to the salon I
I’m going to stop in front of the students and I’m going to
give the best of me I will give the best of
me because my dream is that one day that
woman who is the woman of my dreams be
in front of me and tell me if I accept and that
there are some children that have children
little ones there that they say he is my dad he
it’s my dad that was my dream all the
days I got up I got into the car and
I thought I’m going to raffle, I’m going to give it to
best of me every day all
days but when he arrived at the class he
I forgot that I had students there and it’s
it turns out that my dream had nothing
what to do with them had to do with me
and already the dream could be the same if
he worked as a teacher so he worked
as an architect with a degree as
that was
the dream was exactly the same and it was
independent of giving classes to be
teacher
and it turns out that one day something makes me
remember that there in front of me there are beings
humans
one day that woman comes from my dreams and
you tell me you know what frame it ended was a
Sunday on Monday I came open the door
of the car
I get on I feel like the steering wheel
and now for what and now for what
the dream no longer exists
for that day to come to the classroom and I gave
mind that he was not the only one who did not have
a reason to be there
I realized that there were other beings
humans who did not have a reason to
be there and have never been
asked what you want to learn
what’s happening in your life what’s going on
with you that day I had a very group
hostile in the last hour and it turns out that
entered the room and when I go into the
lounge I hear the next sentence that
it resonated in my head loudly shut up
asshole and foundling I do not start talking
wait let me start the mind
I realized that that phrase was not for
I was a student that from the shore
of the room screaming to another one who was
on that side of the room
I realized that I had human beings
hurt that he had people with the
broken heart was not the only one there were other
people other human beings there with the
broken heart
the classroom the classroom is a place
magical happen interesting things that
day a very special event happened
while the class was being given,
the next question happened who is
completely sure that right now he’s going to
to return home and to see
mom and dad and their brothers and their
best friends
and everyone was very serious
but the child who has the
time machine and raise your hand
secondary raise your hand you are
sure then they speak differently
because they were third
and the unthinkable happened suddenly it sounded
my cell phone at the school where
worked was completely prohibited
of the cellular games therefore they
I asked permission to the students allow me
be entering a call I can
answer they said yes profe are
so
answer that call
good
no it was not surprising how it was
talking on the phone with a shoe that
it was not surprising what surprising
is that on the other side of the line
was the late deceased stephen hawking
as I heard it and stephen who wants
know how the child is assured that
is going to see his dad and his mom the machine
of time, if there is, I’ll give it to you
happened to stephen hawking they had a
very pleasant conversation by the way very
interesting
and it turns out it was an opportunity to
that they will speak at the opportunity
that they would say that it was what
I was interested was opportunity for them
they could say what they wanted to say
it turns out that that day
we start with a dynamic
very interesting suddenly happened a
student took her cell phone and spoke to another
I was already sitting in the lounge good
I want to apologize
I want to apologize
because many times we have been in
insulted class and I do not know until
where can I get that I want to give you
thank you I want to thank you because
when I have not even felt that my
family be there
have you been
happened to someone else
he made a call to his grandmother who had
lost you do not know how we need not
You know how we hurt your game I love you
grandmother
but there was a call that I’m never going to
forget
and a beautiful girl an amazing girl
he took his phone and started
dad
I do not understand why you left you had it
everything with my mom and me because you
you had to go with another lady
if something I have to tell you now that I do not
I told you is that I hate you I hate you
I was on the other side of the room
listening and I said I’ll ask you
only a favor
before ending that call finds
some reason to thank dad
he was thinking
no profe, no, there you are, here you are alive
I would like to not be
I would like to not be
those were words I would like to not be
I will never forget them
that day I realized the transcendent
and how great is the work of the
teacher in the classroom and more in one place
like chihuahua
In Mexico, in 2015, 6 thousand
285 suicides nationwide and in
First place this chihuahua
let me tell you something teaching let me you
I say something student
in front of you there are people there are beings
broken humans hurt that day I decided
put aside the curriculum
I decided to do a planning aside
I decided to close the books but decided
something better I decided to open the heart
we close the books and open the heart
you can not imagine what happened after
that I did not have to tell my
students kept silent they expected
the class anxious to learn now if
I wanted to teach because
it was time for them to talk about what
they wanted the time had come in the
that I could teach what I wanted
after that a phenomenon occurred
very interesting was my last class with
a third year of high school and when I
dismissed from the class they lined up in
the desk
with arms open one by one they went to
give a hug because there is a lack of
affectivity and a lack of love in
our classrooms that day I realized that
it’s easier to educate had opening a
pair of arms that a million books
Thank you
