Alguns acudits anglesos sobre situacions a classe. Són exemples de l’humor britànic, no segueixen els nostres estàndards.

Aquesta és una frase que he tret d’aquells milions de missatges que inunden Facebook, però que posada en un context educatiu em sembla oportuna ara que estem començant un nou curs:
Hi ha una educació que és i sempre serà gratuïta. La que vostè com a pare o mare donarà als seus fills.
Hauria d’incloure que aprenguin a respectar, a no fer malbé res que no sigui seu, a no mentir, a ser responsables, treballadors, solidaris, a tenir valors, a respectar el medi ambient, a no fer trampes, a no ser desconsiderats, …
És bo lluitar per una educació de qualitat, però aquesta educació de qualitat comença a casa.
Sis-plau, no delegui en els professors el que vostè ha de fer a casa.
Sempre disposat a participar en coses noves …
