seems that history began on 30 April this year, when 2500 students Mendoza different schools gathered in the square through Facebook called the "great rata" Mendoza. From there as contagion spread to almost all provinces and even crossed the pond to get to Uruguay.
After all was said and the controversy was installed. The tremendous discovered a conspiracy against the Bicentennial celebrations, others uploaded to the horse of doom, tried to show how bad everything is. Were from those who felt that this is a 2010 version that will be all down to minimal or more modest reading, who see only the rata a minor mischief or extension of holiday and elongated.
Can we try a non-judgmental look that gives rise to genuine question, to search for ways and opportunities? Are we aware of facing a fact that has many layers, different edges, different side? Recently
Unit Director of Strategic Planning and Evaluation of Education Argentina, analyzing the incident, intended to show how these cyber rateadas have some new and different with respect to the native rateadas of our past
"The first difference is noted that violations of school discipline should be hidden before and now are displayed. The idea is clear, almost obvious, how they just hide a call is made from the network? In this sense we should ask ourselves if this exhibition can also be a way to attract attention, to gain notoriety. Is it a show of power? A need to publish that has lost the fear of punishment? "An attempt to decompress and relativize all forms of authoritarianism? We can not know. But we understand that in the first instance the fact that today these rateadas be displayed responds to simple fact that it is essentially a call to public.
"The second difference is that previously noted violations were a content group and a political sense. Demand was made public, demonstrating the objectives of an action. A "rata" was a massive strike. The current deficit rateadas have a strong sense, says the author. I'm not so sure that this second aspect is the case. Perhaps the most political sense to have another face away, and by implication is putting into question something that happens behind closed doors of schools and that children know well.
The truth is that a fact as we try to think puts us in the dilemma of choosing two possible looks that particular model with their respective cultural paradigms that are returned to us quite different realities. Let's say there are at least two possible schemes of interpretation: the culture of rule of law vs. culture.
culture stands in front of the standard manual of the law and discipline as a point of departure and arrival. From this view moralizing not have to wait too many surprises. It is easy to imagine the path of ideas and voices that say there must be limits, discipline, discipline, that "do they think these brats", "we should send them all to laburar", "look to use technology," this is outrageous, "" where we're going to stop, "... and you know ... the right
culture is positioned in an open, empty field, leaving air to circulate plurality of ideas. From there the game opens up a world of questions. For education, though it has its laws and regulations, first of all is a right. Right to know, to think, to be critical, to unveil the world. We need to find out what happens at school to understand why the kids to a greater or lesser extent symbolically express this distance with the school. What happens in everyday life beyond the school curriculum issues and mere formality? What happens to the guys at the bottom of your soul when you are educated in our system? What things they think and feel? What goes in procession?
acknowledge that in recent years, symptoms of the educational crisis took to the streets gaining a good point visibility. Life on the one hand, another school for both boys and for teachers, while in government offices and ministries talk about something else. Something beyond the boys. Perhaps the eyes between careless, confused or blind of some adult world and the apathy of the school.
And here we mean that there is a rata that no one sees: The rata of an education system conceived and designed for another century, with officials always come later. "We forced the reality if rata from this we get to look at a state that is gradually disengaging ensure public education for all as a fundamental right? Perhaps, as Bertolt Brecht said, "I look at that brick had to show the world it was like home." But do not stop and look almost inevitable that faltazo that means leaving the left to the whim mean education of groups that did and continue to make education a disgusting business? Can not we suspect that sooner or later a reaction of the students could begin to put into question that more education a right for all is more like a commodity and privilege of the few? A rata is ultimately an absence. And let us say clearly, is not it hypocritical to say all look at this absence of the guys and look the other way a society full of absences? Need I enumerate?
I say all this to do in this cyber-rata charge the fact is a sense that in itself does not. Probably. But always better to leave the door open to enter the questions, rather than dismiss or disapprove of the action moved to the boys, who in fact something we are trying to say.
On the other hand, the dose of transgression that does this rata, is not hiding a stack of latencies of possible values \u200b\u200bthat do not end up seeing? Is not it is worth noting, for example, the ability organization of the kids and effectiveness of resource Facwebook to convene and organize?
Like it or not, children and youth, reviewing continue with their language and their rituals, sometimes limited, partial, other anarchists. They can, and leave them, so choose ...
Pizarnik said that "the rebellion is to watch a sprayed pink to my eyes." It is likely that we are far from the best rebellions. Maybe guys are just starting to look pink. But what a pity if we were to notice it!
