De las glorias pasadas y las miserias presentes de un profesor

Todavía logré arañar testimonios vivos de cuando en el pueblo, que no la ciudad, el profesor, el médico y el cura ( en El Banco, Magdalena, igual lo era el boticario), eran los personajes más estimados, respetados y apreciados por la comunidad. (Incluso ciudadanos pintorescos, no necesariamente "locos", también fueron hitos culturales,. caso de Don Abundio y Justiniana, de mi pueblo en mención).

Dios nos libre que en ese entonces a uno de los tres primeros se le endilgara la responsabilidad de alguna falta o un comportamiento inapropiado. Y ¡sálvese usted de la hoguera, si se iba lanza en ristre contra cualquiera de ellos! Nadie, pero nadie, se atrevía a expresar epítetos descalificadores de su actividad al maestro, al cura o al médico, y que su falta quedara impune, pues, si no había autoridad que lo sancionara, la sanción social era implacable.

Como la tierra es un planeta vivo, y, por lo tanto, cambiante, la dinámica necesariamente transformadora hasta en las entrañas del ser, hizo presencia en esas costumbres: en nuestro país, donde ocurren cosas inimaginables, aquello se volvió recuerdo. Los tres, que no estuvieron exentos de los pecados veniales y mortales, que nos persiguen, según predicciones bíblicas desde cuando Adán y Eva pecaron, son sometidos al escarnio, con o sin razón.

Curas pederastas, profesores que presentan títulos falsos, médicos que no preguntan qué tiene, si no cuánto tiene, etc., entre otras causas leves, son el pan diario de acuerdo a los educadores sin títulos pedagógicos de nuevo cuño: los grandes medios. Pueden ser hechos reales, pero que de ninguna manera comprometen a todo un gremio, por lo que no tiene validez generalizar una conducta contraria a una misión.

Como se sabe, no estuve en las aulas de la pedagogía, pero he trasegado 38 años por los senderos de la enseñanza. Y pese a los sinsabores que a veces deja esta profesión de las interioridades del ser superior, si volviera a nacer, volvería a ser docente, por la belleza que entraña ser faro de los que todavía no han encendido la luz. Porque, como dijo el polímata Aristóteles, hace ya casi dos milenios y medio, he aprendido dos veces.

Invito desde estas páginas a padres de familia, que en su gran mayoría han demostrado intensa admiración, consideración y respeto por quienes educamos y formamos a sus seres queridos; a estudiantes, a directivos, y en general a todos los estamentos institucionales, para que seamos lo que en tres y medias largas décadas de la Fundación hemos sido: educados y educadores; respetuosos y respetables; asequibles y propositivos; honestos y transparentes. En pocas palabras, seres humanos matrimoniados con la noble tarea de educar. Somos eso que el maestro mayor, Julio Villazón Baquero, nos enseñó en sus célebres tertulias de comienzo de año escolar: batalladores de la educación.

**** El maestro va a la escuela a llevar la educación

que ningún padre a su hijo le puede dar en la casa, porque sabe que en la escuela lo reemplaza,

esa gente tan valiente y de noble corazón; porque llevan en la sangre en forma innata,

ese don tan intachable que es el ejemplo de Dios y nosotros tenemos tan mala el alma.

que no le damos las gracias al valiente profesor. Los maestros; Hernando Marín Lacouture.

Por: Mr. Pedro Perales Téllez

37 CONFERENCIA ANNU.AL PARA EDUCADORES

"Transformando Colegios desde Adentro"

El pasado septiembre, la Dra. María Doris Villazón y Ms. Cecilia Restrepo R. tuvieron la oportunidad de asistir a la conferencia anual para educadores la cual es organizada cada año por la TriAssociation. Esta vez tuvo lugar en Santo Domingo, República Dominicana. Como era de esperarse los talleres y conferencias que ofrecieron fueron extraordinarios; es precisamente este tipo de experiencias académicas las que realmente Dra. María D. Vtllazón marcan la diferencia porque influye en el trabajo que se hace diariamente el cual beneficia el proceso de aprendizaje de nuestros estudiantes.

Entre la cantidad de talleres y conferencias fue interesante encontrar la importancia que se le da a conocer bien quienes son los jóvenes de la actualidad y lo que ellos necesitan para su futuro. Las habilidades que necesitan desarrollar van más allá de la comprensión de lectura, habilidad matemática o memorizar hechos acerca de las ciencias naturales y sociales. Ellos necesitan desarrollar habilidades que le permitan resolver problemas y crear soluciones para el planeta Tierra en el cual vivimos actualmente y el cual será muy diferente en un futuro.

Es importante asistir a este tipo de conferencias porque nos brinda una visión amplia, una visión real de las tendencias en la educación y por lo tanto podemos dar forma a nuestros programas para poder cumplir con nuestra misión de educar líderes para el mundo. También confirma el hecho de que vamos a la vanguardia en educación de nuestra ciudad y país y que estamos en el camino correcto, que la FCBV está comprometida en la formación de jóvenes exitosos.

37TH ANNUAL EDUCATORS' CONFERENCE

"transforming Schools from Within"

As usual, the workshops and conferences offered at the educators' conference were outstanding, these are the types of academic experiences that really make a difference in the work that is done every day and which benefits the learning processes of our students.

Among the many workshops and conferences, it was interesting to find the Cecilia Restrepo importance that is given to who our youngsters are and what they need to be ready for in the future. The skills that need to be developed go beyond reading comprehension, math abilities, or facts about science or social studies. They need to develop skills in order to sol ve problems and create solutions for the Earth in which we are living and which will be very different from what we see today.

It is important to participate in these type of conferences because it gives us the broad picture, the real picture of education trends and therefore we can shape our programs in order to comply with our mission of educating future leaders for the world. It also confirms the fact that we are being trailblazers in education in our city and countj'.y and reinforces the fact that we are doing the right thing, that FCBV is committed to preparing students fortheir success.

Love and Friendship - A Doy to Remember This year Love and Friendship Day at the Colegio Bilingüe of Valledupar was hosted by the Seniors. They did a really good job and made this day very special.

First thing in the morning, they presented themselves with their theme being Top Gun (Air Force). They arrived with their outfits and marched out with a military routine in front of all students.

The last thing in the program was a video about the meaning of friendship to different people. It was a very good production, it was funny and unique. We all thank the Seniors for being wonderful hosts and making this possible. Doctor Maria Doris was very proud of them as well.

In sum this day was awesome! Everybody had a blast and enjoyed this day a lot.

Toe day was divided in different activities, first the dance By: Sofia Paula Cherrez Reivan - 1 OA perf ormed by the Seniors was excellent and original. Then, Juniors made their first appearance with their theme being Rocking Juniors. They went around primary and high school with music and euforia, they were really happy.

After recess, Seniors had the big event in the auditorium. It started with the Seniors carrying sorne preschool kids and taking lots of pictures. The first thing in tbe program was to pray and give thanks to God for everything we have.

Then, they talked about how important and significant this year was.

The most entertaining part was the activity with sorne school couples, it was a competition to find out who knew more about a person, if the boyfriend/ girlfriend or the best friend.

What a Science fair 201a! Kinder and Transition students hada blast during their Science Fair. While Kinder's Theme was Day & Night, Transition delighted parents with their knowledge about different life cycles.

Why are Science Fairs important in preschool? To presenta project gives students the opportunity to enhance theirpresentation skills when they prepare their posters or discuss their projects. It will also teach a child how to present him or herself in front of a crowd, help them grow their self-esteem and self­confidence, develop poise and learn to overcome anxieties. Here at Fundación Colegio Bilingue we make sure our students get a chance for audience during various events, the Science Fair being one ofit.

A big THANK YOU to our little ones in preschool for collaborating with such amazing decorations, art and crafts.

Summai:y: Miguel is a child who dreams ofbeing a musician, but his family banned his dreams, because his great-great­grandfather, also a musician, abandoned them, and they force Miguel to be a shoemaker, like all the other family members.

By accident, Miguel enters the Land ofthe Dead, from where he can only leave if a deceased relative grants hím a blessing. He meets his great-great-grandmother, but she refuses to !et him retum with the living, ifhe does not promise that he will not be a musician. Because ofthat, Miguel escapes from her and starts looking for his great-great-grandfather, Ernesto de la Cruz.

In the search Miguel meets Rector, who wanted to help hirn find his great-great-grandfather only ifMiguel promised to place his

picture out in the family room for others to see in the World of the Living. But while the plot develops they find out that Rector was his real great-great-grandfather and not Ernesto, who happened to be an evil murderer.

After sorting out many obstacles, Miguel was able to return to the World of the Living and triggered Coco's memory to remember her father (Rector).

Finally, Hector was remembered and his spirit was able to survive in the memory of the living. Sadly, Coco died but she reunited with herfather's family in the Land ofthe Dead.

A Freaky Doy Have you ever been inside ofa dog's body?

That is what happened to Jack, and I will tell yo u the story.

Once upon a time in the city ofNew York, a man named Jack lived with his wife Miranda and his dog, Bob. They were so happy playing every day in the park. They were a healthy and honorable family, but one day, Miranda died in a car accident. Jack andBob were so sad.

Six months later, Jack got over it but Bob didn't. He was so melancholic and unhappy, because he had a good relationship with Miranda, and because ofhis sadness, he started to be very rude to Jack. But when Bob was misbehaving, Jack used to say:" Go to yourroom!".

One day, Jack and Bob had a big fight when suddenly, they changed bodies, theywere so scared, so Jack (inside ofthe dog's body) immediately went to the library to research about what just had happened.

Meanwhile, Bob (inside of Jack's body) was sitting on the window barking to the squirrels. He didn't know what to do as a person, so he started doing what Jack used to do every day.

Bob wanted to understand and so did Jack, so they decided to calm down and try to sol ve the situation.

Finally, they forgave each other and suddenly, their bodies changed back. They learned that bad things happen, but they had to learn from each other. And since then, they were happier than before.

investigación biológica o "Biological Research" fue catalogado como uno de los mejores del país durante el 2017 por New York Times

Subsidiary. BLI selecciona solo a los estudiantes más destac:ados de la preparatoria (bachillerato) .para ser parte de su programa avanzado de tres semanas en que se desarrollan habilidades de investigación a un alto nivel de complejidad. No es secreto para nadie que vivimos en un mundo competitivo y por lo tanto debemos ser los mejores en lo que hacemos para prosperar. Sin embargo, todo inicio depende de nuestras habilidades, que a la vez están estrechamente rela.cionadas con nuestras capacidades, las cuales solo se potencializan sobre la base del esfuerzo y el sacrificio.

por ello que l1;1ché casi por .2 .l,tlgs~1 pifrá ser aceptada en el programa de investigación biológica y quirúrgica 2018 que se llevaria a cabo en Longwood Medica! Area, zona médica de Boston. Para entender y poder llegar a participar en· 1as discusiones se debía conocer previamente las bases de la medicina, con ello me refü;ro a la part<: tanto biológica como anatómica del cuerpo humano, pues uno d.elos ejes principales del programa giraba en tomo al análisis (j,e patologías complejas tales como la Meduloblastomay la Me$OX<:lioma pleural. No fue fácil controlar el estrés de 11! primera semana pero .sobreponerse a aquellos obstáculos que nos cohíben de intentar avanzar es algo que tenemos que hacer para obtener lo /).u\:l queremos. En Boston aprendí que realmente el mund<> va más.aUá delas fronteras de un país o los límites de unaregión,J<>s avanc:es médicos ( en especial, aquellos que tienen que ver específicami::)1.te con el ámbito de la biotecnología) cada vez están más cercad.e lograr su objetivo que es y siempre debe ser, salvar vidas.All.ll~oy muy joven y tal vez no se con exactitud todo lo que abarca ser médico pero espero algún día pueda saberlo al encontrarme en la sala de un quirófano tratando de dar esperanza.

The Fundación Colegio Bilingüe de Valledupar is proud to say that it took part in CCBMUN IX, Medellín. The following students worked hard enough to achieve these goals, sufficient enough to partake in the modelUN:

We would also like to mention that our participation in this UN model would have been impossible ifit weren't for Mr. Guillermo Saumett.

The school is glad to know that we are learning to avoid conflict and to seek peace by means of diplomacy through these exercises. Achieving peace is necessary to make this world a better place.

The event started on September 26, but our studious delegates had been preparing since August so they'd be well prepared for this immense task. The delegates were welcomed at Club Union with an inspiring speech from the General Secretaries José David Bustarnante and Samuel Restrepo. Food in Medellin is very different frorn what any of us are used to and people there are extrernely nice. The delegates were delighted with quality cheesecakes.

Sorne of the debates started slow and gradually got dynamic, others started extrernely fast with most of the comrnittee wishing to speak but ended with no one wanting to talk. At the end of the first day all delegates went back to the hotel to study immediately. The delegates worked tirelessly through the whole event and deserve to be congratulated. Sorne delegates even created the worst, yet rnost

entertaining,jokes that could be imagined.

The second day carne with another topic. Every delegate arrived to the event ready to make the school proud and ready to make peace. Although the event may have been challenging, especially to rookies, these delegates showed that it doesn't matter when you do something, if you truly want it, if you truly work for it, then what you want will become a reality. Sorne delegates were shy, but their contributions to the debate molded the outcome: peace.

Closure to the event carne the third day, with awards, with wars being declared, and with tears being shed. When the General Secretary said goodbye, he reminded the delegates how proud he was of them. The event concluded with the following event and press awards:

* Most dramatic: María Juliana Quintero * Prettiest: Ernilia Pont * Most likable: Andres Ospino * Outstanding delegate: Juan Diego Gómez

The delegates returned home feeling accomplished and proud of thernselves. These delegates should be the pride of the school because they are the key to peace.

Juan Andrés Dangond won tbe elepiions by a slim marginof28 votes.

One of his proposals was to repair the water fountalns and to participate in intemational sports thanks t9 the AdvancED accreditation.

Besides everyone's opinions, we expect and hope. that he. wiU do many of the things he proposed, and we, for sure, know he's goingtodoagoodjob.

Before the elections, things were getting a little harsh between Isabel's supporters and Juan's supporters. Students were telling each other that their choice was wrong ;md some of them even took away .stickers from others. As the days. got closer to the elections, students leamed to respect each other's opinions and choices. · In the end, people were okay with · the final results, acknowledgíng the fact that either ofthe wonderfulcandidates was agood choice.

SEPARATA 11AL OÍDO DE LOS PADRES''

La autoregulación emocional: el primer paso para la prevención del suicidio en menores de edad

Los padres, madres y cuidadores somos un soporte fundamental para el desarrollo socioemocional de nuestros hijos. No solo les debemos enseñar a quererse a sí mismos, a sentirse amados y valorados, sino también a manejar emociones negativas como la tristeza, la rabia o la frustración. Estas habilidades son muy importantes para la prevención de problemáticas como el suicidio. A continuación les presentamos algunas ideas que nos explican por qué es importante que le ayudemos a nuestros hijos a aprender a regularse emocionalmente, y cómo esto puede ayudar a prevenir el riesgo de suicidio.

¿Por qué es importante aprender a reconocer, aceptar y manejar nuestras emociones?

Diversos estudios muestran que las nmas , mnos y adolescentes que son vulnerables al riesgo de suicidio tienen, entre otros factores, dificultades para expresar sus emociones y manejar situaciones de estrés. Así como enseñarnos a nuestros hijos a leer, sumar o montar en bicicleta, es importante que nos tornemos el tiempo para que aprendan a reconocer, rnonitorear, modular y adaptar sus emociones de manera adecuada y de acuerdo con la situación a la que se enfrentan.

¿ Cómo promovemos la autorregulación emocional en nuestros hijos?

Ideas para la edad preescolar:

- Las niñas y niños más pequeños aprenden cómo

manejar sus emociones observándonos. Por eso, es importante que seamos conscientes de cómo nos comportarnos cuando tenemos un problema, qué palabras usarnos, cómo afrontamos las situaciones que nos generan estrés y cómo se las comunicamos a otros.

- En los primeros años de vida, nuestros hijos tienen formas muy sencillas de expresar sus emociones, llorar o gritar son algunas de ellas. Si respondernos usando un tono de voz tranquilo, sosteniendo o reconfortando a nuestros hijos, ellos irán aprendiendo que pueden sentirse cómodos y seguros nuevamente, y que pueden manejar lo que están sintiendo.

- Cuando se enfrenten a situaciones que los hagan sentir tristes, estresados, frustrados, de mal genio o intranquilos, es importante que les pidamos que le pongan nombre a la emoción que están sintiendo. Podernos construir con ellos una lista de emociones para que las puedan identificar. Invitérnoslos a respirar unos minutos y preguntémosles si eso cambia la emoción. Esto les muestra que las emociones son pasajeras y que ellos tienen la capacidad de controlarlas.

Ideas para la edad escolar:

- Enseñarles a regular las emociones no implica evitarles situaciones difíciles, sino entrenarlos para manejarlas. Por ejemplo, si para ellos es frustrante resolver la tarea de matemáticas podernos ayudarlos a completar un primer ejercicio y pedirles que hagan el resto. Si se enojan,

(Viene de la página anterior)

podemos decirles que paren, respiren por un momento y vuelvan a intentarlo nuevamente. Tomar un vaso de agua, ponerse un hielo en la boca o respirar un par de veces puede ayudar.

Ideas para la adolescencia:

- En la adolescencia, nuestros hijos le dan un gran valor a las rel ac iones con sus amigos y compañeros . Preguntémosles cómo se sienten con ellos, con quiénes tienen las mejores relaciones o con quiénes tienen

problemas. Esto les puede ayudar a identificar con mayor faci lidad sus emociones frente a las relaciones interpersonales.

- Enseñémosles a aceptar sus emociones y a no juzgarse por sentirse tristes, enojados o frustrados. Recordémosles que está bien sentirse así, pero que es importante que puedan identificar esa emoción y buscar una manera para procesarla. Es de vital importancia que validemos sus emociones, pero que no permitamos que éstas se usen como pretexto para agredirse a sí mismo o a los demás.
