For a basic education, but focused onyour skills

With regard to the education unit, today I want to talk about how it is addressing the student's abilities, based on my experience as a student who always liked art and throughout his 12 years of Basic study, was frustrated.

We all know that education should be a fundamental part of development as a person in this life, therefore you are given Basic knowledge of mathematics, language, history and science. Then we can say that most of the world, but taking it to a more familiar situation, the majority of Chileans should know how to add,subtract, multiply and divide, as well as most should know how to speak properly, you may not write very well; all can communicate and the media that helped us and we know that Chile is in South America which Columbus discovered, alsolive on a planet called Earth where water, air, earth, fire, wildlifeand that everything has its cycle; but few people know about art because in art school when he was painting a house and was already drawn and may remain so until eighth grade.

We know many names of Presidents of the World, Heroes, Greek and Roman Gods, many scientists discoverers of great things, but, How many know the names of painters, sculptors, filmmakers,playwrights, poets, musicians, actors, writers? Very few!. And because the art would be a minority, not because it is for an elite, but, because from start to train a child is omitted this knowledge, believing that this will not help him and that is where the problem; few child prodigies exist if only they get the opportunity or jeans which can give birth to their abilities.

Of course, we have a group of children where one stands out for its ability to learn faster, and able to add, but there are others who still can’t do, then an adult comes and says, "He would be a future mathematician, because he is very intelligent, but instead this other child is not so smart", Fallacy!, all human beings have intelligence; different intelligences, but have to be developed, the future mathematician is an expert in your field, but perhaps not clearly understand what a poem says or his emotional intelligence is zero.

In my case when I was in kindergarten, according to my mother I called them to the teachers care about my ability to paint very even and without straying from the edge of the line; but when I started learning to read, it took me a lot and my mom crying next to me because she thought I was going to be a little "silly" compared to my brother who had learned to read at age 4!. And so with time I used to draw more attention from the art teachers who saw more in my artistic ability beyond mere classified as art work, and when I got to middle school is more close to my relationship with art because they only had two hours a week of visual arts for two years and then 2 years remaining for music when at least should have been in 4 years, two hours of visual arts and music, it was frustrating for me, seeing that just made ​​music art workshops, And what's with the rest that is also art?; I killed 4 years, with stress and disease, to have a good average for not getting fired, study hard for a test of college selection, apply for a career in which I should not show my skills in science, history and / or math.

It is absurd that you assess for how many points you got in mathematics for entry to study art. I mean , it is important to know this, but where is the support for future artists of chile? because most are going overseas?, same goes for athletes, should be to train other countries, receive funding from other sides to emerge. The world is not just numbers,economics and money!.
