Lo que la enseña la escuela | Oliver Iturbe Sánchez | TEDxPalmitas


[Applause]
I ‘m going to tell you a story about a
friend as surely you have a
friend seemed the friends that he
They worry a lot about their health
he constantly tries to take care of himself and he
he does exams because they say that
what is not examined can not be
improve then it turns out that just
this week my friend has to do
some analysis and he knows that in the
last days he has not taken care of his diet not
is doing exercise has been revealed
and then he has had up to
discomforts and you know that if you go there you do
the exams in this way because it’s going to
leave more and then he does not want to leave
bad in his exams and he talks to me and tells me
Hey boliver, look what I’m going to do
the exams but I do not want to go wrong
so I do not know if you can take my
hand do not know if you can give me as
a little bit of you
Your analysis is not
and then well there’s forgiveness is that this
it’s a bit of work to be giving the
conference with this here
ah
and then I say, hey, I say, you hear,
you’re crazy that it’s okay to be
friends but of that to do it for free
I do not know what is charged and if you do not believe me
that’s why it charges for that are
exactly
some of the pages that I’m going to
show here how I do your homework in
line mister text and all of them are
they dedicate to doing exactly the same thing that
my friend asked me maybe some of
you think no no no no hey are you
confusing things what your friend
he asked you was cheating to leave
well in your medical exams and here what
only thing is that they help you out
well in your exams
and by the way it is charged from 350 people
simple task up to 10,000 when you ask
do a thesis
so
I say for ten years I had to give
classes and I always tried to give them
this analogy to the boys I told them
if you copy the exam it’s as if
you go to the doctor and then you lie to him
about your symptoms how do you think you
will help improve whatever
have and good one can say good
maybe it’s a small number of people
those who are doing that kind of thing
of the copy
came out a news that they made a
online exam at the University of
Guadalajara was designed the exam
to do it approximately in
two hours and suddenly pulled out an alert
of the system because they were finishing the
exam in five minutes
they had to put 0 to 504 students
because they were the ones who confessed that
they had cheated to do that
that is, there are not so few
students one can think good they are
the boys or they do not know yet
they know the importance of doing well
the things to copy to whom we can
appeal
we turn to the parents this picture that
I’m showing you they’re all dads
they are there risking their lives and that is a
school and one innocently say of
sure they forgot something to the guys
they are climbing there by the walls to
take your lunch will not be to be
the boys are left without eating
reality what they are doing is
get up there to pass the answers
to the exam
this note came out in the main
international media happened in india
they took to jail like 70 popes
They expelled 300 students
that is, we could not resort to
true dad
the image that I am going to show you
surely some of them are already familiar
they have seen it but the funny thing is that
I want to show is that it is in different
languages what you want to say is that if
you can investigate this is something
widespread not only happens in Mexico
not only happens in Latin America we have
made the evaluations so important
that we have forgotten about knowledge
and we do not realize that
when we are in school the
The main task is to try to prepare
the new generation to take this
world and when we teach that what
more important are not the metrics and not
what is behind them what
we are teaching is that the end
justifies the means and then we
It’s surprising that the boys go out and do not
matter if they cheat if there
corruption if they hurt another person if
damage the planet when we
we teach that the most important are the
goals
It is so important for the boys
have a good rating because
when you are a boy and you try to
remember when you’re in elementary school when
You are in high school when you are a child
when you’re young, almost half of
You spend time in schools almost
half of the evaluations about what
that you are comes with these two things is going
to go well if you’re cute if you’re
physically attractive should go well if
you are a good student vanas will go well
in it is very good that applied so
poor of the boys who do badly in
the school and they are also ugly
thank goodness I did not have to worry
because
rather he had to study a jet
try to imagine that when in the
school they tell you that only the
result that there is a good answer and
that all the others are wrong too what
they are teaching you is that you are not
well wrong you are teaching
be afraid to fail because of that is that
then we should not be surprised that the
guys do not want to start new things
if we teach them all the time that if
are wrong about failures is
wrong
well we make them grow like that of the
we grow, I’m going to tell you my
story when I’m 18 years old I’m by
choose my career
the dilemma of what I call the
last silver bullet you know that bullet
of silver that can kill any
monster not that silver bullet was to choose
the race if in something I can transcend
in this world I do not want to make a mistake
When choosing the race I will choose
one in which all my skills are
empower and it occurred to me that what
smarter was choosing the race
it was more difficult years later I found
mind that it was the easiest way to
prove that it was silly to choose a
career of something I did not love
but there I go I get to that race
industrial physical engineer away from me
house was only given in monterrey
Like me, many kids arrived
they had that intent to
transcend guys who were talented and
I will tell you what happened to us in the
fifth semester a semester that was very
difficult for us the semester in
where many of the guys changed
other races because they had given
mind that it was too difficult I’m going
to tell the story of two friends who
I have one let’s say it was called lisanka
and the other was called rafael the two
we are about to finish that semester are
for failing four subjects
and what is going to happen changes them both
life completely I will tell you that
lisanka for example he had been
selected chemistry mathematics
of physics by its state that is, it was not
a silly boy was a boy
that at least it seemed that he was smart
he had represented his state but
had reached this point where he
I was going badly at the end of the semester
reproves the four subjects to
next semester trying not to
go so bad then choose the teachers
said more ships because now I’m not going
to be very brave and fail again
and then the comrades also
we started to collaborate with what happened
because then we started
fly as you think you dress well menso
yes yes if you messed with the one that was more
easy there are all pass and little by little
between the taunts of us the
results that he was having he went
turning a dark sky every time
I was more sad, more distant, failed
more matters when I graduated two
years later I suddenly get to
facebook a group where is it that
calls for those who want
finally graduate lisanga
Lisanka took two years longer than me
to graduate good
At least that’s what the group said
I’m going to tell you that he
experience that he had of having life
been at the university
maybe it was not the best I’m sure
It could have gone better if it had
chosen another career another place where
would have made him feel different in the
same semester when it started all
rafael has the same four subjects that
is about to reproach he had never been
selected in mathematics or physics
he was a smart boy
and that semester a contest of
math is not supposed to be
our matter were the most
smart and we imagine
that the math contest that was
as a team the brains were going to win
of our career you already know about those
guys who run the ultramarathon do
the task before you ask for it
teacher make social action us
we said they are going to win
and to everyone’s surprise
they did not win it or channel it here
I won the rafael either the store is
well but the surprising thing is that rafa
came in with guys from another semester and still
well it came in third place is to say
although he had not won, he had stayed more
up that the guys that we
we considered geniuses and that moment
in his life it was like an epiphany where
something directly in the heart of
Rafael told him you are smart you are
well you smell worth at the end of that
semester anyway he failed three
subjects
but from that point at the end of his career
his average was above 90 and he did not return
to fail any subject was to study
a US master’s degree studied a doctorate
US engineering physics and now
he is a very respected doctor who
story differences not a story
where when something or someone tells you
you are worth you are good and that raises you
and a story where you are listening
all the time you’re bad you’re going to fail
you are going to fail and look what happens to you if
do not ask the blue cross
He left school and touches me be
teacher and I had this story of rafi
of lisanka well tucked had been something
that had impacted me I had seen the
change in my two friends and when he came
to work the first semester tells me my
boss hey there in the group have a lot
careful try to help that boy and
it has been three times that it has already failed the
no matter
that I go back is the boy
you know if putting like a barrier
arrived and asked hey how is it
this because I ‘m the first time I’m going
to give classes you already have here 3
and try to give him a different role
I knew that he had already taken the
matter but instead of telling you hey are you
well silly because it’s the third time to little
you do not know I gave him a role to say you
you already passed through here you have to
help the other guys hey but you
You have to help you, you were already
here and I took it for granted as if
he was good maybe he was not yet
good but I understood him as
It’s good if you explain to your classmates
I already finish them yes yes yes there is still drinking
to the kids and I saw others
he did not reproach me in the matter he was
all right
with me he did not fail anymore math
after that was the third time that
was studying that subject he studied a
Engineering did a master’s
engineering and now sometimes until
of mathematics
and the truth is that I tried to help
how many people could with this because
I knew that more important than
contents are what we teach to
times when they were going to deliver me a
exam he said hey the girl is coming
is this question
maybe I think that sign is wrong like that
thank you and go
I was supposed to be the most teacher
dogs because everything that I am
talking does not mean that they are
some easy exams but it helped them
he was trying in some way to
help them because I knew that when
they got a good grade not
is that they got a good grade in
mathematics is as if they had
recovered part of his intelligence is
as if everything had been told
it was foolish we would have erased them and
that’s what a lot of people go back to
Regain your confidence as I would have
liked being able to help many more
people
I think that when we are teachers I
after those 10 years I had to leave
I have not taught for 5 years and once
that I left I saw a world completely
different when you’re a teacher to you
it’s time to see that boy 35 hours each
week and you build an idea of ​​what
that you see those 35 hours if they do not
they have skills in what you are
explaining what you are expert at
to think that they are stupid you are not going to
think that they are not so good
there are many things in which you can
teach and it ‘s what I ‘ve seen now
when I go to school people who
maybe he was struggling with me in posts
important being responsible taking
leadership teaching me things sometimes
we believe the teachers that the most
important are the contents that
we are showing and the contents that
now we show really are something to
Google’s reach of the wikipedia is
he forgets that the most important work
when we are in school is to form
people to be good people
teach them not to be afraid of
fail to be able to get up to
be resilient to respect the other
to respect the environment that does not
cheat
as long as we have an educational system
that is not fulfilling that function of
do good people we have
constantly to rethink what evaluate it
and change what we are teaching in
the schools thank you very much
