Should Bachillerato students be allowed to leave the High School during break time?


Recently, many High Schools have banned Bachillerato students from leaving school during break time. This is an issue which Bachillerato students have clear opinions about.

On the one hand, if Bachillerato students leave the High School, even though it is just for half an hour, they might not return, or they could be unpunctual to a class. Besides, they might have an accident and the the center is in charge of them.
In addition, many students who are in Bachillerato are not eighteen years old, so it is more dangerous for them if they go out.

On the other hand, if students leave the High School during half an hour, it helps them to change the setting and they will not feel oppressed when they return to class. They can work harder.
Moreover, they will feel it as an example of being trusted.

Personally, I believe that if the students are responsible and punctual in their classes, the headmaster could allow them to leave the High School during break time.

Nowadays, Bachillerato students cannot leave the High School during break time because there is a new law that the Government has passed on that matter.
Two years ago, Bachillerato students could leave the High School, even if they were underage.

On the one hand, I think that this new law is correct because before it some students could have an accident during the break time and the High School could be accused of it. Besides, parents were not aware of their children's attitude.

On the other hand, Bachillerato students want to stay separate from Secondary students and feel freer. They think that leaving school is a way of showing their maturity.

In conclusion, it is important that students who are not eighteen years old are not allowed to leave the High School because if they have an accident, the center would have many problems. Moreover, we have to think that students are safer inside the High School.

Bachillerato students want to leave the High School during break time to have more time without younger children and be free for a little time. But their parents and their teachers do not want this because it can bring problems to them.

On the one hand, Bachillerato students want to leave the High School during break time because this fact makes them feel responsible. They want to be without children younger than themselves.

On the other hand, their parents and their teachers do not want it because this would cause that Bachillerato students have an accident during this time and the responsible person would be the headmaster of the school.

In my opinion, if Bachillerato students show that they are responsible, they should be allowed to leave High School during break time.

End-of-year school trip: 1º or 2º Bachillerato?



The date of the end-of-year school trip is a very common issue when students get to Bachillerato. There is a lot of controversy about travelling in 1º or in 2º Bachillerato.

On the one hand, if students do the trip in 2º Bachillerato, they will have a great experience before they leave school. Besides, it will be a wonderful leaving party with the graduation.

In addition, students could save money for more time and, having more money, they can do a better trip or go to a farther destination.

On the other hand, students in 2º Bachillerato are very worried with Selectivity. If they take it, they will have to study.

Moreover, most of them are eighteen year old so they could think that they are grown-ups and then they could believe to have more freedom, but if they cause any damage in the hotel for example, it will have serious consequences.

Personally, I think that if students are responsible and they study every day of the year, the trip can be made in 2º Bachillerato and it can provide a unique experience for them

Ser una mujer...

El drama de la mutilación genital femenina sigue afectando a diario a miles de mujeres en el mundo. El libro de Waris Dirie, “Flor del desierto”, es un conmovedor testimonio de lo que pudo ser un hermoso cuento de hadas en el que una somalí, nacida de pastores nómadas, recorrió el camino que le llevó de los desiertos más inhóspitos hasta ser una top-model de prestigio internacional. Detrás de ese camino fulgurante y glamuroso hacia el éxito había, sin embargo, una tragedia personal a la que Waris supo hacer frente convirtiéndola en testimonio de denuncia ante todas las naciones por una práctica inhumana y en reivindicación de la dignidad que encierra “ser una mujer”. Os ofrecemos en el siguiente video ese testimonio desgarrador y valiente, tomado de la adaptación cinematográfica del libro que realizó Sherry Hormann y que fue estrenada recientemente. Son un par de minutos que dan para mucho en cualquiera de nuestras horas dedicadas a Educación para la Ciudadanía, Cambios Sociales y Nuevas Relaciones de Género o en Tutoría. No dejéis de verlo. Y de sacar algunas conclusiones.

El Guernica en 3D


Todos conocemos el Guernica, óleo sobre lienzo, 349 x 777 cm, que Pablo Picasso pintó en 1937 para el pabellón español de la Exposición Internacional de París.
La tela, en blanco y negro, alude al bombardeo de Guernica (Vizcaya) el 26 de abril de 1937 por aviones alemanes. Actualmente está expuesta en el Centro Nacional de Arte Contemporáneo Reina Sofía, en Madrid.
El pintor, que vivía en París en ese tiempo, recibió el encargo del Gobierno de la República Española, con el fin de atraer la atención del público contra el golpe de Estado del Frente Nacional que provocó la Guerra Civil Española.
Pintó personas, animales y edificios destruidos por la fuerza aérea nazi, tal como los vio en su imaginación.
Ahora, una artista de Nueva York, Lena Gieseke, quien domina las más modernas técnicas de infografía digital, decidió proponer una versión 3D de la célebre obra con forma de video.
El resultado es fascinante y nos permite visualizar los detalles que, de otro modo, nos pasarían desapercibidos.
