The Journal of Professor Arnaldo - Hunger in schools
Published on 19 November 2010 by Arnaldo Antunes
Yesterday, a mother in tears came up to me at the school gate. Had not a penny in the house, she and her husband are unemployed and by the end of the month, has 2 liters of milk and half a dozen potatoes to give two children.
happens that the eldest is my student. Come on 7. Th year, has 12 years, but the physical structure, it is said that it would not have more than 10. Obviously, I was shocked.
yet told him that I am not the class tutor kid and could not do anything, except to warn those eligible, but she did not want anything but be vent.
Occasionally, they give you two or three loaves at the bakery beyond the border, which it distributes as it can for kids not to go on an empty stomach school. When it is completely hopeless, as in recent days, gained courage and uses the institution here in town - providing hot meals to the needy. Moreover, do not tell ninguéma situation in which he lives, even the neighbors, because you're embarrassed. If there is shameful poverty, here it is in all its fullness.
know you can count on the school. The kids have both Grade A, because unemployment has been going on for over a year (those who want two people with 45 years of age and educational level of Grade 4 ?). Give them breakfast in school and give them Lunch is lunch.
The worst is at night and especially during weekend. How many times have those two children went to bed with half a glass of milk in the stomach, mixed with the salt of their tears ...
Not knowing what to say, I held her by the mãoe I put him 10 euros in my pocket. Began to decline, but accepted thrilled. Fired up crying, saying he had come to me just because of the message I sent the booklet. Where I said, harshly, that "your child does not is minimally concentrate in class and, often, lay your head on top of it like you're sleeping. " There, no longer replied. I felt guilty. Very guilty for never having noticed this dramatic situation. But with eight classrooms and nearly 200 students, how it could be repaired?
Portugal This is the success of our rulers. This is the Portugal of our children. This is the Portugal of success and pride of Socrates!!
Disseminate and never tire of promotion around the world ... Do not be silent ... It may be that reaches the House of Banana Republic! Ask the Socrates and the Boys have gone to hungry and who pays them the facts and the gasoline purchased in New York!
Although some teachers did not strike! I already did and do another if necessary! "
