The rankings that interest students and Portugal
by João Cerqueira
Fury and indignation are unleashed whenever a new ranking of Portuguese schools is released. The audacity of private schools to obtain the classification of what public is not acceptable in a democratic regime. The principals of private schools were the most responsible. The State cannot go through the shame of not knowing how to educate Portuguese young people. Because, it is not the students and the teachers who are actually failing in the school rankings, but the Portuguese State and its management model.
This, indeed, is an unsolved structural problem.
The main failure, the Minister of Education, stated that he does not recognize in the evaluation rankings the quality of five of the verified schools, which, in his opinion, are worth much more than grades. Remind me that the high school cheats they systematically took on tests also don’t recognize as an indicator of their abilities. There were other more important ones, like knowing how to play billiards, hook up with girls and smoke on the sly. Likewise, the minister also values other indicators, such as equity, which, according to him, «allows us to say that poverty is not fatalism».
internet as well as these should not be used for other activities such as the ability to download free games and music such as finding students for which students can also use to find students in these as. races and respects the rights of animals. With this indicator, which should be taught in Citizenship and Development, the gap between rich and poor students will certainly blur. Games with Pokémon and girls riding horses can contribute to an egalitarian society and avoid class struggle.
However, as not only in Education, but in other rankings, the Portuguese State obtains bad results and the rankings appear poorly, it is time for us to also achieve new rankings.
Here are some of them:
The ranking of countries where more students flee school canteens to eat forbidden food in the cafe next door.
The ranking where more governments defend the public school the children in the private one.
The ranking where there are more teachers going crazy because of their work.
The ranking where history least respects human rights and democratic values.
The ranking where the main work of literature – Os Lusíadas – respects the least as ethnic and religious minorities.
The ranking where the second main work of literature – Os Maias – most promotes racism and offends women.
The ranking where a minister manages to betray the prime minister and remain in office.
The ranking where the prime minister is betrayed by a minister, but doesn’t have the courage to fire him.
The ranking where more citizens get sick in August.
The ranking where the President of the Republic is confused, sometimes with a political commentator, sometimes with a television animator.
The ranking this time will be everything, everything, everything clarified.
The ranking of the biggest far-right threat in the world.
The ranking where there are more people wanting to save the world on social networks.
The ranking where there are more people criticizing capitalism within the FNAC.
The ranking where there are the most Stalinist and Trotskyist mummies.
The ranking where no journalist critical of the Government has ever been or sanitized.
The ranking where there are more requirements in the nomenclature of boys and girls for public charges.
The ranking where there is more transparency and rigor in the company of public contracts without tender.
The ranking where there are more demands on the squandering of public money in bankrupt companies
The ranking where there are more cycle paths than bicycles.
The ranking of the country with the most generals and Putin admirers.
It’s all some that we are probably among the first five that we will be able to show Humanity that the best in the world will be able to show Humanity that the best in the world in many things.
The Minister of Education is absolutely right when he says that “poverty is not fatalism”. Like a student coming from a disadvantaged background who manages to progress to a PhD, Portugal, despite remaining poor in the economic rankings, will free itself from that invented by the Nordic countries and reach top places in all rankings where indicators such as wealth , development and evaluation are not taken into account.
