“Let the students klimatstrejka – it is more important than the seven words”
“Greta Thunberg is without a doubt, our time’s most important leaders. When Greta Thunberg speaks listening world. We do it, because we have to. Our unsustainable, spoiled lifestyle, are killing our planet. We have a choice. To close your eyes, hold your ears and run on, or in, and change us. Greta Thunberg is about to become our world’s savior.”
“today, she leads the largest climate manifestation ever on earth, with more than 100 countries and hundreds of thousands of people who participate. Still, many school leaders around in Sweden, to paragrafkrama, tramsa and punish pupils with unauthorised absence. Do you do it. Seven words and a mattelektion compared with a historical speech and a movement that changes the world. What is most important to take in? I know what I said to my eighth graders.”
“It’s like in August 2018 started with that Greta Thunberg, then 15 years old, alone sat and skolstrejkade outside of our parliament, something she earnestly continued, Friday after Friday, has today grown into an international movement. From the #fridaysforchange to Friday 15 march 2019: Global Strike For the Future, the largest climate manifestation ever on the globe. With Greta Thunberg as a speaker, on Mynttorget, outside our parliament in Stockholm. Today, she is no longer alone. Make hundreds of thousands of children and adults up in more than 100 countries, and at the time of writing, 1 of 659 cities. “
“And the given snackisen among many of Sweden’s school pupils in the week of course have been:”
“– you Should be on the skolstrejken on Friday?”
“the Director-general of the national agency for Education, Peter Fredriksson, explained in an interview in Aftonbladet the face of the manifestation that the pupils involved will be affected by the invalid absence. “
“– We have compulsory attendance and with the means that students should be in school. It is good that students engage in important issues, but it can be done in their spare time when you don’t have homework to do.”
“Hm. It was news to me. I didn’t know that compulsory schooling means that students should physically be in the school. Correct me if I’m wrong. But when I went to school we had still, quite often, the training that was conducted at a place other than just within the classroom’s four walls. So is it actually still: Visits to the local fire station, visits to interesting exhibitions in the city’s museums, excursions in the nature, visits to theatres or even a little bit more activist Operation dagsverke, where for instance, I myself received three the students in my daughter’s class who had to help in the company a few hours, I then swishade any amount as a thank you to the school’s Operations day-the collection.”
“Then it was indeed good. It was not a void of absence.”
“But when it is about a young woman in the form of Greta Thunberg, who spoke to world leaders at the UN general assembly, world leaders in Davos, talking about such a loaded question about how we choose to live our lives, and the way in which in the day has a negative and harmful impact on our climate. Then it became suddenly very important to our director-general of the national agency for Education has devoted itself to micro management and explained that just the presence here, it will be invalid absence.”
“Had I been the director general of the national agency for Education, I had left the issue to those who actually are responsible for the teaching out of our schools: Skolledarna and educators.”
“And here it is obvious that one thinks is very different at different schools. At my daughter’s school in Stockholm, it has expired decree, that all who are involved in the manifestation will be affected by the invalid absences, even if you as a guardian signing a valid absence via skolplattformen.”
“On the island of Gotland looks at the matter with other eyes. Where allowed the students to participate and in an interview with the Whole of the island of Gotland says grundskolechefen Torsten Flemming, on the island of, the following:”
“– This fits within the curriculum. We’ll work with democratic education, sustainability and teach students to take responsibility for our earth. And there are many issues in this school can take up in social studies. The right to strike, for example.”
“school leaders out there, allow yourself to be inspired by Torsten. Yes, engelskaglosor and mathematical rules is important. But I promise – they are still there on Monday also. I’m not saying that Swedish school children should manifest for the climate of the school days each week. But that Friday, put the focus on climate, the largest climate manifestation ever held, should have been a nobrainer.”
“As I said, democratic education, the current public debate, the right to strike, klimatlära. I promise, there is much that is contained in the curriculum.”
“We must not wait for a few years before Surgery the Climate, scored ten stamps of approval of any president, before we let the students learn something for life.”
“by The time I am actually afraid that we don’t have.”
