10th Anniversary of this Blog

                   Last 9th of September, this blog completed 10 years. When I began this blog in 2010, I didn't know how long it would  take. Now I feel that maybe I should keep this blog forever. If you want to know why I began this blog, you can read the first post of all in this link. where I explain why I felt the need to write  http://thepeopleteacher.blogspot.com/2010/09/volunteer-teacher.html, following this first blog where I explained why I began this blog I put some articles previously summarized in my email. In my former email, which I don't have anymore I started doing summaries of articles and reports. It is very interesting how some of those articles became so known. But if you are thinking that I started this blog to become famous, you are mistaken. I became famous in Brazil for another reason. I can say it because in 2004 I traveled by motorcycle to São Paulo city and I felt that everywhere I went people knew who I am. So after almost two decades later this fame becomes a worldwide fame. And like many things in life, this fame have positive aspects and negative aspects. Although there is not a counter in this blog, and people in Brazil never give their feedback on my blog. I know that there are millions of readers, because as many things in my life people do not say to me directly, so I have to realize  and figure out if the posts are being read. As you can see, many posts in this blog are about the importance of education, including many of the first year. This is because if a country wants to do like Japan, England, France, Germany did in the XIX century and U.S., South Korea, Ireland, Sweden, etc did in XX century, quality education for all is the only way. The history show us it. China is showing now what education can do for a country and population. If Brazil had done high investments in education 50 years ago, we would be another country today. This decade doing this blog I have been an activist for better education,  and the awareness that all are important in this process: students, parents, teachers, politicians, etc. In 1941, the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig wrote a book called "Brazil, country of the future" if you want to read more about it, here is the link  to read   about a book that gave a country a nickname http://thepeopleteacher.blogspot.com/2012/08/voltxxvi-brazil-country-of-future.html. In this book he wrote about the huge potential for brazil to become a prosperous country. The law of the new high school approved in 2017 is the better way to improve the education in Brazil in the short and medium-term, so I hope that next year this new high school can be effectively implemented all over Brazil. I have been writing here about the benefits of this change in the high school. The first summary I did about it was in November 2017, you can read here http://thepeopleteacher.blogspot.com/2017/11/flexibility-gives-students-better.html
