This morning I had to take my students of 3 º to an encounter with a famous Catalan writer of juvenile literature (not Jordi Sierra i Fabra, is the other). I will not write (again) that I find this type of activity, but I will say, I think I've said before that the marketing departments of publishers and I think one of the largest frauds in Education there today.
Well, regardless of my personal position, I admit that at any given time, and if the invited person is serious about the job they are paid (as we require teachers) may prove interesting. But it has not been the case, the well-known writer has shown, not only unprofessional incredible, but a bad taste and rude as I have rarely seen:
After half an hour late, the above has been uploaded to stage accompanied by the Head of Department, which has started complimenting in a totally inappropriate to the resulting laughter of the students. In fact I think the story of "the outstanding gift you waiting for me to stay another ideal opportunity for you to give away the second" is a classic in its repertoire.
After the curious introduction, the character has been dedicated to having a series of crap, because you can not say anything about the machines of the future and control of dreams (although I wonder what story), but the climax came with the story of a water bottle that he dropped in a conference that has given rise to other stories with erections and wet dreams included in the subject.
the end of his "conference" (in which has hardly spent even five minutes a subject for which he had been "hired", ie the book) has been dodging questions from students about the work (very well prepared, by the way) to release other pearls as I can see who is going to die here. "
And with them, has been scribbling in the books of the students, and has start, accompanied by his representative editorial, both with pockets full of money and our students reading a book that has just been chosen for the visit of writer was possible (what we are going to ask if it really is academically appropriate reading?).
Incidentally, the findings of the pupils were still more negative than mine. I have told you that this is much more common than it seems (everyone has attended many conferences that have left disappointed when the figure of the writer does not match "does not have to do" with the image that we had forged it.) But here the issue is quite different: it is a man who's paid to write so-called "juvenile literature and motivating" and has contracts with publishers, and with the Ministry, for alleged "activities to encourage reading" and they also lost me half an hour of my valuable time as a teacher, and my students a class in which they would have learned the context of literature medieval.
Because here, if we have forgotten, is that students learn. And once again, I have been put under the noses of evidence that this is just one of the biggest frauds that they are doing to future generations.
