Chile is shouting and the world is hearing. The voice of students (that is my voice too) is every time more high.
Education is universal topic, and a universal problem. And the most of the time, students don't fight for them really, they fight for the next generations and for their future.
Nowadays, thousands of chileans students are fighting for the education of the country. But the really struggle is for all of the children than in the future will be students. If we don't have quality in education, at least that the next have their right.
I hope that the world understand that. But I read with shame that someone comments the article ( that Cristián Cabalin wrote) with distrust because is a chilean who writes. Well, they don't live here, they don't studied here, and their children won't study here. But, I read with happiness that many people understand the voice of thousand of people, and share our feeling.
Better that the world share the feeling of the students, is that our compatriots are sharing it. Teacher, father and grandfathers are walking in the Alameda for a better education; for an education like a right, not a product.
Why we still have the education that the dictatorship started? This country have a neoliberal politics, but the education is a right
Can we introduce a right in the neoliberal system? The minister of education, Joaquín Lavín, get money with a University (Univerdidad del Desarrollo) What confidence we can have in the government, if the minister think that the profit in education is legitimate?
We want a real education, but I think that will be very difficult get it with a government full of businessman. Difficult, but not impossible.

a voice for real education
I have to do a confession. I have never though about we are educated only our head until I heard Sir Ken Robinson. It's true. Almost people follow an intellectual career, in fact, only I know one person in my school that decided to follow an artistic career: dance.
How many people who want to be an artist or a dancer, followed a intellectual career, only because our society tell us that the future and the success is in our head. "You MUST to follow a GOOD career, you have to be a doctor, a lawyer or an engineer... why?
I have to make a question to my classmates.... what said your family when you said that you want to study anthropology?? Personally, my family don't said anything, even they are happy now for me; but all my friend tell me: Why? You will be in the street next! You don't get money with that!!
Money? That means that the purpose of education it's get money? I don't think so... Well, the sad true is many people don't follow the career that they want, they follow the career that they pocket want. The problem is, that the career that privileged the head are the careers that most money give.
I think that many career that privileged the body, (not the head) like dance, are very difficult, you have to be a high control of your body; a control that most of us don't have!
The problem of education is a problem of society, a problem of the though of the society, even a problem of our culture!
Why culture? Because other society with other cultures, like oriental culture; have other though about the education of their children. They have martial arts, that forced to the person to have a strong control not only in the body, in the head too. Thats society have an education that combined the head and the body. Mental and physical control.
That is really education! Body and head. But we have a really long way to get that
