Being a teacher today: The need to occupy the present time critically

Menezes, Paulo Pereira de Jean. Professor of public and private "higher education"

It could start this article with the best manifestations of romanticism about this important category of workers. But I will, moved by the precarious living most teachers realistically. Being a teacher today is to be more vulnerable than a packet of sausages. The sausages, the logic of the market, are protected by patents, given brand has more state support than any teacher today. I can not use a product without first of all pay for it. I can not play a brand of sausage indiscriminately without proper authorization to commercialize it. If I eat a sausage to pay for it I be arrested. There are possibilities of eating them without paying, or pay and take, and how paid, in effect, paid the goods and consumption. I can not likewise play a certain brand of sausage to sell it in the city I live. I can not make sausages brand "such" in the kitchen of my house to market it among friends. By now my readers must be wondering what is the relationship between consuming and play sausages with being a teacher today (?). And then I answer: everything! It is tragic what happens to the teacher under the rules of commodification. Tragic because what happens with the teacher does not happen even with the worst kind of sausages. A teacher, to sell their labor power (valid for all employees) does for the business as follows: 1. Shall be subject to a value for this sale (hour / class). 2nd. Performs these classes sold (usually for a month). 3rd. And only then receives for these classes (in view of the entrepreneur class = merchandise purchased) ie, receives the merchandise sold. Thus, teachers sell (the business logic) a "commodity" spun to the entrepreneur who will pay for merchandise purchased after it has been fully consumed. Holy crap (...), even if the logic of the capitalist economy, even selling on credit, there is logic in this, another feature that is intended universal (and Brazil seems to be an international benchmark in the export of this practice) in relation to the management of business practice of the defaulted goods purchased. That's right ... I speak of the non-payment of teachers' salaries! Not only the fact of working spun, still take the defaulting purchaser. Thousands of teachers in Brazil that meet their wages delayed for months or even without receiving! Being a teacher is to be able (in the logic of the capitalist market) below a packet of sausages of any brand whore. Being a teacher is to accept this logic in order to eat sausages and not starve (when this leave the default of course). Being a teacher, this management logic is to accept that "unfortunately has no personal financial perspective to make the payment this

month." You learn to survive without other basic commodities for feeding even with sausages sluts! The obvious question is that even the sausages should be paid to be consumed by us. Being a teacher without the payment of wages is to be a worker without food, energy, and powerless. A typology perfect for deadbeat will be hoping to play more of their capital to perhaps any other day pay at least part of what should the teacher! And playback of sausages? Where do you get all this tragedy? It is precisely this relationship that reproduction perpetuates contradiction with playing sausages because I can only play a brand of sausages if you have permission. For playback of buying on credit default teacher and they are getting thousands, is not protected by anything! And this fact shows the efficiency of the state to protect the interests of capitalists (sharks of Education and its brands) and even complete failure of this state to teachers living from selling on credit to survive and when the default does absolutely nothing. This shows how the state serves the interests of the class: no illusions to the state, as this is the manager of the capitalists. Its function is to harmonize the conflicts of class and do not represent the working class. So, being a teacher today (in the logic of the market and that dominate employment contracts) is to be employee, associate, partner! It is learned to have patience when payment not leave. It is to be understanding with the sale on credit, with the delay and the amount of the default value which is imposed on sales (row) of the workforce. Now, "if you do not want to be our employee, you are free to choose something better"! To end: then I see you and not get spun, I take a default value of an amount that even established (time value / class) and am still understood how wrong this relationship?!? As much as is believed, being a teacher is not being sausage, because even they themselves are more respected in the capitalist market! Entrepreneurs: to hell with this little chat idiotizante patience, understanding and cooperation! When your merchandise is sold and is not paid when you receive the default, you think the same thing as the teacher asks to default? Did you ignore the default wage for the worker means the default of its basic playback of life? Evidently the businessman who buys spun the teacher is not as ignorant as well. He's a jerk who lives vampirescamente blood of workers because it follows this logic of economic operation to constantly increase their rate of profit! All this is not unintentionally, if it were, we would certainly referring to amateurs in the reproduction of capital and that too not evade the responsibility of paying what they buy (and all that, even in capitalist logic). Being a teacher beyond this situation is to stand before these vampires who treat education as something can be sold (as is seeing a social process?!?) With their ideologies and distorting reality with their management policies that put "their "teachers below the sausages. Enough! You must take up the fight.
