Education as a bussiness?

" Your teachers teached you how to learn?

Minister of education, Mónica Jiménez de la Jara

I am writting this letter because I would like you to know what opinion I have about your latest decision in General Law Education (LGE).

First of all, as a citizen I have opinion and decision in our democratic society, so that I think that any authority must consider citizenship`s opinion but relate to education it has not happened at all.

Speaking of democratic decisions, there have been many opportunities to reflect about what students think about this issue and which affect us in a big way. We are the protagonists of it, and we are at school every day facing different kind of problems which sometimes we do not know how to solve them, we do not how to embrace those kind of situations, because no body at school teach us how to do this, what I want to say is that our education encourages the development of knowledge instead of critical thinking and of course ignore the individualism.

In conclution, you must reflect on this because as an authority you make decisions which affect our education.
