Apos comer todo alho do mundo, encontro-me desesperado por um chiclete. Paro em um quiosque ao ver a prateleira de chicletes, porem sem chicletes. - Acabaram-se os chicletes? - pergunto utilizando a norma culta do portugues para nao ferir nenhum tipo de suscetibilidades.- Nao, responde o gajo e retorna aos seus afazeres, deixando claro que aquela conversacao ja estava finalizada. Vendo que eu nao saia, pergunta-me.- Queres algo, pa?- Um chiclete.- Nao tem.Diante da minha perplexidade, continua:- Ah, eles nao acabaram. Eu ca nao tenho ja tem muito tempo.E pa!!! O que significa em portugues do Brasil "ta tirando uma com minha cara, foliao?". Essa parte eu so pensei. Agradeci, com um sorriso ironico, e me fui. Desculpem a publicacao em ingles, mas nao podia deixar de compartilhar.Trata-se de uma publicacao americana que denuncia semanalmente as questoes envolvidas com as desigualdades, crescente nos EUA, sempre tao alta por aqui.Destaques: "Em qualquer sociedade onde a riqueza e a renda sao extremamente concentradas no topo, os influente irao quase sempre "olhar torto" para os servicos publicos e os homens e mulheres que os proveem".Discussao sobre substituicao de escolas publicas por escolas charter, seria analogo a uma OS por aqui.http://toomuchonline.org/teacher-bashing-the-inequality-psychology/HOW INEQUALITY HURTSTeacher Bashing: The Inequality PsychologySEPTEMBER 15, 2012 PRINT THIS ARTICLE POST A COMMENTFILED UNDER EDUCATION, SOCIAL FABRICIn any society where wealth and income concentrate overwhelmingly at the top, the affluent will almost always come to sneer at public services and the men and women who provide them.By Sam PizzigatiChicago teachers rally the Saturday after their September 10 walkout began.Last year state lawmakers in Illinois did their best to make a Chicago teacher strike impossible. They passed a new law that required at least 75 percent of the citys teachers to okay any walkout in advance.How did Chicago teachers respond? In advance balloting early this June, 92 percent of the citys teachers voted, and 98 percent of those teachers voted to strike if contract negotiations broke down.This near-total teacher support for the walkout that began last week shows just how intensely frustrated the citys teachers have become. Theyve been teaching for years in schools woefully ill-equipped to serve the citys students.The vast majority of these students, 87 percent, rate as low income. Many have no books in their homes and no quiet place to study. Some over 15,000 have no homes at all.Chicago political officials havent done nearly enough to help teachers help these students learn. Over 160 Chicago schools have no library. To help homeless and other children in unstable family situations, the 350,000-student Chicago schools have only 370 social workers.Teachers have consistently called for more resources. But school officials from Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel on down have totally bought into a reform agenda that dismisses concernsabout overcrowded classrooms and inadequate student support.
