Hannibal Lecter…or Horrible Lecture?




From a desperate, outstanding and even philosophical point of view our nation is swimming within deep waters of unconsciousness because of a simple little thing: commitment. If you know that Education is the key to rescue and build a society, why do not we all commit to Education? Simple.

If you turn your head to the left, you will notice that someone wants to be a doctor. If you turn your head to the right you will notice that others just want to be engineers or lawyers or psychologists. What is it about Education? Why not? Life is not about the salary, God dammit! Probably the word Education has the face of Hannibal Lecter or something like that. If that is the case, then I am ok with them, DO NOT GET CLOSER TO HANNIBAL!  Fortunately, Education does not have a horrible face. Maybe a horrible lecture, but not a Hannibal Lecter’s goal within the word itself. Perhaps the wrong conception about learning, making a mistake in front of an audience or even having a horrible teacher, who gives pathetic lectures, could have affected the way you get into Education.

A fictional character such as Hannibal Lecter was committed to his monstrous goal: eating other humans. Do you see? A COMMITTED GUY! Maquiavelic and grotesque…but committed at the end. In real life, our teachers and professors across the country, should be committed from the beginning of their careers as teacher trainees in order to be the best ones.  Engaged with excellence, professionalism and responsibility with the next generations.  

 Let’s make an effort not to look like monsters for students, let’s try to give our best performances ever to avoid horrible lectures among a learning environment.

When we are kids we just notice heroes or monsters. That is it. If your mom hits you or throws you a shoe (because you gave her a reason…), she is the monster of the day and your father is your hero. In an equal turn of events, the other way around is surprisingly shocking. If you have a father that at some point during your life, yell at you or throw you a shoe, he would be the monster of the movie, ergo, you mother or grandmother or sister or aunt or teacher or girlfriend (at such a young age, you bastard!) or even the lady who cleans the house would be your hero. What about a teacher saving your day? 

Imagine the power of teaching, destroying wrong conceptions about being teachers or just to teach, taking away the mask of Hannibal Lectur… I MEAN! Horrible Lecter…I MEAN! Well you know what I am trying to tell you! So let’s save our country, our society and our world from those monsters that do not help us to believe in teaching as the key to solve our reality. Are you hungry… Hanni… I MEAN…Honey?
