Sinopse

What do teachers who work with our children in the classroom think? What are their biggest challenges? Do they feel prepared? How do they view the education parents provide today? How do they evaluate the Brazilian education system? With the clarity, sensitivity, and forcefulness that marked her previous work, educator Tania Zagury answers these and other questions, offering a fundamental and pioneering analysis of the Brazilian education system, based on scientifically grounded research with approximately 1,200 teachers throughout Brazil. This is an important work not only for teachers but also for parents, who will have the opportunity to understand what is happening to the professionals who work to educate their children. And also for authorities and institutions, unaccustomed to listening to teachers. The concrete anxieties and impossibilities of classroom teachers are dissected here, shedding light on the reasons for the failure of teaching, which distresses us all. Tania shows that the successive changes in the education system in Brazil, especially since 1970, were not accompanied by the necessary conditions for their implementation. In other words, the laws changed, but not the reality in the classroom. New family relationships and the lack of boundaries for children undermined the teacher's authority while, paradoxically, transferring traditional family responsibilities to the school. Consequently, children's indiscipline and lack of motivation became two of the greatest problems for educators. In this context, the teacher became a kind of hostage to the excess of tasks, family, society, and misguided educational decisions. At the same time, according to Tania, they are the true Brazilian hero—after all, few professionals would dedicate themselves so much under such working conditions. The hostage teacher arrives to reinforce the precious partnership between parents and teachers, as well as between those who plan and implement educational policies. And to demonstrate that there will be no solution for Brazilian education until investment is made in ongoing teacher training and in measures that can be effectively implemented.
