Ou seja, poderá a educação formar lideranças mais empáticas e mais justas?

After so many shining stars in the Presidency of the Republic, is one of us now coming, affectionate, solid, of few words? The people of Penamacor, the birthplace of the current president, will say: a "Beira man", whatever that is.

It seems that the ability to perceive their work as being important, a certain rationalization of what our role as teachers is, the achievement of satisfaction in the relationships that are established in the school environment, seem to be factors that strengthen the teacher so as not to enter burnout.

It was an old expression that referred to a map of all the countries on the planet. There was a time when people didn't talk about the planet, but rather the "world."

(#190) They also say that the plane was so well-balanced that it seemed to anticipate the pilot's mistakes, ultimately correcting them itself. I had never flown on an airplane before. It was in 1972, on the occasion of my older brother's wedding to a girl from another island, Terceira Island, while we are originally from São Miguel, in the Azores. We had already been to the airport countless times. It was always an adventure going to the airport, which was located in the mi

(#192) I would even say that it would be smarter to actually be smart instead of just trying to be smart. This business of trying to be smart reeks of Portuguese cunning.

If the morning drowsiness doesn't allow for deep reflection, at least check if it's going to rain and put on some appropriate clothes to face the day and life. It's true: I turned 60 and I'm a sexagenarian. People kindly tell me I look great, in good health, and young-looking. I know I don't look decrepit, but I'm not interested in being young, strong, and

Now, it is this anticipation, materialized, for example, in the predictions of epidemiologists, that can allow for the necessary adaptations and adjustments. We all have a story to share: our personal story. And every personal story of any human being deserves to be shared, not because each of us is a homemade variant of Homeric heroes, but because every story, of every human being, is valua

The day was hot, with clear skies and full of sunshine. But in the afternoon, the day became sad and left the sky closed in a veil of gray clouds. As a simulacrum of the Sun, just the reflection of the lamp…
