The video was so right in some points. For example, Robinson said that the most important subject is math and English, but also those are the subject that the students hate most. Arts are on the bottom and those are the subject that students enjoy more because they can develop their creativity and imagination, the most important things that Robinson said.

Another thing is the fact that some people think that being a teacher is the worst thing you can do. That is so sad, because our career is taken as an easy one and it is like you could not reach the enough points in the PSU to study architecture, medicine or to become an engineer. People do not think that we are studying pedagogy because we love to teach.

I do not totally agree with Robinson, because I think schools do not kill our creativity at all. In fact, schools help us to have more imagination. Nowadays, Chilean schools evaluate our knowledge and how much we studied. They should evaluate our creativity too and what we can do with that knowledge, how do we take it to the future. Our society asks us to go to school. If we want to get a good job, we need to study. It does not matter how creative we are, we have to get good marks and pass the entire subject to be successful in life.

The thing that caught my attention was about the test that students do. They don’t have the points to reach the minimum level. I really believe that it is not a problem with the students.

There are some teachers, as the article said, that do not have the property way to teach their students. Some of them are just in the classroom to watch their student and to maintain the order. In my case I had a lot of good teachers that taught me a lot of useful things that I will never forget. I remember that my first English teacher used to show us a lot of pictures and we had to describe the entire photo. But I had some bad teachers too that did not teach me anything at all. My Math teacher used to read the newspaper in class and we did not learn anything. The problem with that teacher was that when he took the test to evaluate him he got the high level in the school and I did not why!

I would like to be an excellent teacher. The most important thing in the education is that our students need to learn meanwhile they are learning and they have to have a critical thinking. I think that if we are not able to do that we will not be successful teachers.

Right now I’m not taking action in what I have to do to be a teacher. I mean I know I have to read a lot about education, but the only thing I’m doing is studying English to get good marks.

I think that our country needs a lot of thing to improve education. The government has to take control in the school which has the lowest level of teachers and the universities that allow students without the PSU have to be more cautious. The most important thing is that there are some students who are studying pedagogy just because they did not have the enough points in the PSU. Those students do not know that being a teacher is more than that.

I’m always nervous before a test, even though if a studied or not. I try to study 2 or 3 days before a test, but I can’t focus on what I have to do, so I ended up studying 1 day before.

When I study, I do it in my room. I prefer to do it in the university with my friends, because I think is easier sharing ideas than studying alone in home.

I try to check my notes every day and I summarize the info, but I don’t do it every day. Actually the last time I checked my notes was the last week, but now I have to do it for the next English test.

I don’t study in the same way to every subject, because in others subject I always have to read texts. But with English I have to check my book and notes, so I think is easier studying English than others subjects.

When I was at school I didn’t study, because I didn’t have study habits. Now at university I ought to study, because I can’t fail the courses.
