School Curriculum Falls Short on Bigger Lessons
By Tara PARKER-POPE
Now that children are back in the classroom, are they really learning the lessons that will help them succeed?
Many child development experts worry that the answer may be no. They say the ever-growing emphasis on academic performance and test scores means many children aren’t developing life skills like self-control, motivation, focus and resilience, which are far better predictors of long-term success than high grades. And it may be distorting their and their parents’ values.
In one set of studies, children who solved math puzzles were praised for their intelligence or for their hard work. The first group actually did worse on subsequent tests, or took an easy way out, shunning difficult problems. The research suggests that praise for a good effort encourages harder work, while children who are consistently told they are smart do not know what to do when confronted with a difficult problem or reading assignment.
Academic achievement can certainly help children succeed, and for parents there can be a fine line between praising effort and praising performance. Words need to be chosen carefully: Instead of saying, “I’m so proud you got an ‘A’ on your test”, a better choice is “I’m so proud of you for studying so hard”. Both replies rightly celebrate the ‘A’, but the second focuses on the effort that produced it, encouraging the child to keep trying in the future.
Praise outside of academics matters, too. Instead of asking your child how many points she scored on the basketball court, say, “Tell me about the game. Did you have fun? Did you play hard?”. Parents also need to teach their children that they do not have to be good at everything, and there is something to be learned when a child struggles or gets a poor grade despite studying hard. One strategy is to teach children that the differences between easy and difficult subjects can provide useful information about their goals and interests. Subjects they enjoy and excel in may become the focus of their careers. Challenging but interesting classes or sports can become hobbies.

Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, was born on March 28, 1936, in the Peruvian provincial city of Arequipa. He is a writer, politician, journalist, essayist, and Nobel Prize laureate. Vargas Llosa is one of Latin America's most significant novelists and essayists, and one of the leading authors of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a larger international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. He was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
Vargas Llosa rose to fame in the 1960s with novels such as The Time of the Hero (La ciudad y los perros, literally The City and the Dogs, 1963/1966), The Green House (La casa verde, 1965/1968), and the monumental Conversation in the Cathedral (Conversación en la catedral, 1969/1975). He writes prolifically across an array of literary genres, including literary criticism and journalism. His novels include comedies, murder mysteries, historical novels, and political thrillers. Several, such as Captain Pantoja and the Special Service (1973/1978) and Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter (1977/1982), have been adapted as feature films.
Many of Vargas Llosa's works are influenced by the writer's perception of Peruvian society and his own experiences as a native Peruvian. Increasingly, however, he has expanded his range, and tackled themes that arise from other parts of the world. Another change over the course of his career has been a shift from a style and approach associated with literary modernism, to a sometimes playful postmodernism.
Like many Latin American authors, Vargas Llosa has been politically active throughout his career; over the course of his life, he has gradually moved from the political left towards liberalism or neoliberalism, a definitively more conservative political position. While he initially supported the Cuban revolutionary government of Fidel Castro, Vargas Llosa later became disenchanted with the Cuban dictator and his authoritarian regime. He ran for the Peruvian presidency in 1990 with the center-right Frente Democrático (FREDEMO) coalition, advocating neoliberal reforms.

IX. Ascensão de Vasco da Gama
Os deuses da tormenta e os gigantes da terra Suspendem de repente o ódio da sua guerra E pasmam. Pelo vale onde se ascende aos céus Surge um silêncio, e vai, da névoa ondeando os véus, Primeiro um movimento e depois um assombro. Ladeiam-no, ao durar, os medos, ombro a ombro, E ao longe o rastro ruge em nuvens e clarões
Embaixo, onde a terra é, o pastor gela, e a flauta Cai-lhe, e em êxtase vê, à luz de mil trovões, O céu abrir o abismo à alma do Argonauta.
(PESSOA, Fernando. Mensagem. 2. ed. 1. reim. São
Paulo: Martin Claret, 2009. p. 47.)

(ZIMMER, Márcia; SILVEIRA, Rosane; ALVES, Ubiratã
Kickhöfel. Pronunciation Instruction For Brazilians:
Bringing Theory and Practice Together. Newcastle:
Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2009. p. 145.)Alguém ainda duvida de que vivemos na era da informação? Exemplo: estou em Lisboa, publicando isto num site americano que pode ter o seu servidor colocado em qualquer parte do mundo e, a partir do momento em que o texto é publicado, fica acessível a qualquer pessoa em praticamente qualquer parte do mundo.
Esta facilidade na divulgação da informação, esta democratização da informação acarreta e acarretará muitas mudanças no cenário mundial onde entra também a tão falada globalização. O comentarista de política internacional, Thomas L. Friedman, no seu livro mais recente, O Mundo é Plano, mostra os indícios que provam que o nosso mundo está a tornar-se mais plano a cada dia e menciona dez acontecimentos que contribuíram para que o mundo se tornasse plano. Eles são:
1 - 9/11/1989 - Quando se derrubaram muros e edificaram janelas Cai o muro de Berlim e aumenta a distribuição de informação. Começa uma uniformização corporativa, a partir da democratização da informação. Logo depois surge o Windows, permitindo que as pessoas interajam melhor com o PC, aumentando o número de aplicações criadas e aumentando a produtividade empresarial e pessoal.
2 - 9/9/1995 - Quando a Netscape se torna pública Abrem-se as portas para a massificação da Internet. O Netscape torna a Internet acessível a todos e ajuda a garantir que os protocolos já existentes (HTTP, FTP, TCP/IP, POP e outros) não sejam monopolizados pela Microsoft ou por outra grande corporação. Surgiu também a bolha das dotcom quando muitas empresas começaram a explorar a necessidade de comunicação e distribuir quilômetros de fibra ótica pelo mundo. Depois do estouro da bolha estas fibras foram vendidas muito barato o que facilitou e barateou a comunicação mundial.
3 - Software de sistematização dos fluxos de trabalho - Vamos almoçar: faça com que a sua aplicação “fale” com a minha aplicação
É uma revolução silenciosa que permite que as aplicações se comuniquem entre si contribuindo ainda mais para que o mundo se torne plano. Uma plataforma global foi criada, em vez de tentar-se manipular o formato das aplicações acabou-se por permitir que elas se entendessem entre si.
Estes três primeiros acontecimentos criaram uma plataforma poderosa que planificou o mundo, permitindo que todos se comunicassem. Os seis acontecimentos seguintes representam novas formas de colaboração que fazem uso desta plataforma.
4 - Open-Sourcing - Comunidades cooperantes auto-organizadas No open-sourcing ferramentas são desenvolvidas por várias pessoas e ninguém é proprietário da ferramenta. Temos como exemplo o Apache, que é usado por dois terços dos servidores de Internet actualmente e está em constante evolução por ser open source. Enquanto nos softwares comerciais o código fonte é guardado a sete chaves, nos softwares open source o código está à disponibilidade de quem quiser, permitindo que erros sejam detectados e corrigidos rapidamente e permitindo que o software seja melhorado por qualquer um. O open source disponibiliza gratuitamente muitas ferramentas e desafia as estruturas hierárquicas com um modelo horizontal de inovação. Outros exemplos, além do Apache, são o Linux, o Gimp, a Wikipédia, o Mozilla, entre outros.
5 - Outsourcing - Y2K
Com o famoso bug do milênio, muitas empresas americanas contrataram mão de obra mais barata, na Índia, para fazer o trabalho aborrecido de melhor alterar o ano nas datas de dois dígitos para quatro. Graças aos três primeiros acontecimentos mencionados, era possível enviar os programas para serem alterados na própria Índia, o que tornava o processo mais barato. Depois de resolvido o problema, o barateamento das comunicações permitiu que esta solução fosse adotada em outras situações, o que tornou a Índia, por exemplo, um grande celeiro de massa cinzenta para os EUA.
6 - Offshoring - Correndo com as gazelas, comendo com os leões
A entrada da China na OMC
permitiu que muitas empresas tivessem produtos
fabricados lá por um preço baixíssimo, barateando os custos de produção e consequentemente aumentando lucros empresariais e reduzindo preços.
7 - Encadeamento de Abastecimento - Comer Sushi no Arkansas A automação da comunicação entre as empresas foi facilitada quando o mundo começou a tornar-se plano, o que possibilita que as empresas se comuniquem entre si, aumentando a qualidade do serviço oferecido, diminuindo preços e facilitando a distribuição das mercadorias. Temos como exemplo a empresa americana Wal-Mart que controla o seu estoque diretamente com o fornecedor, conforme as mercadorias vão sendo vendidas o fornecedor vai adaptando a sua produção e distribuição.
8 - Insourcing - o que andam a fazer, na realidade,
aqueles indivíduos de calções castanhos engraçados
Insourcing é quando uma empresa contrata outra,
melhor capacitada, para prestar um serviço necessário. Por exemplo, se você tem um portátil Toshiba,
dentro do prazo de garantia, que se avariou, a Toshiba
lhe dará instruções para deixar o mesmo numa loja
da UPS para que seja reparado. Antigamente a UPS
transportava o portátil até uma autorizada da Toshiba para que o mesmo fosse reparado para acelerar o
processo; atualmente é a própria UPS que conserta
o portátil e o devolve. Outro exemplo, a Nike prefere investir na concepção de tênis, não em cadeias de
abastecimento, então melhorou o seu serviço ao contratar alguém com o know-how e a estrutura necessária para fazer a distribuição. Outro detalhe, a UPS
fornece serviço para todo tipo de empresa e tenta
adequar os preços permitindo que empresas menores
tenham a mesma qualidade de serviço das grandes,
favorecendo ainda mais a planificação do mundo ao
democratizar as oportunidades.
9 - In-Forming - Motores de busca Google, Yahoo! e MSN.
A informação ao alcance de todo o mundo, basta pesquisar na rede. Tente lembrar como era antigamente, quando não existia a Internet, por exemplo, era preciso ir-se às bibliotecas a procura de informações e, às vezes, era preciso um pouco de sorte para se encontrar rapidamente o que desejava, ou ter a sorte de a publicação pretendida estar disponível.
10 - Os Esteróides - Digitais, Móveis, Pessoais e Virtuais.
As comunicações sem fios, os telefones celulares, iPods, PDAs e outras ferramentas do mesmo estilo nos mantêm em contato com o mundo e com todos o tempo inteiro. O celular deixa de ser, a cada, um simples telefone para incorporar novas funções e características. No Japão, os jovens utilizam o PC no escritório e os celulares e apóiam o estilo de vida pessoal no celular. A informação disponível aos jovens japoneses, através da Internet nos celulares, é tão grande que mal tenham uma dúvida, a primeira coisa que fazem é buscar a resposta pelo telefone. Imagine a seguinte situação, o telefone tem um scan de códigos de barra e você está andando pela rua e vê um pôster anunciando um show da Madonna, você passa o scan pelo código e o bilhete é comprado. Outro pôster anuncia o novo CD da Madonna, você passa o scan e recebe no telefone amostras das músicas do CD, se gostar, passa o scan de novo e compra o CD que será entrega na sua casa, ou terá as músicas disponibilizadas para o telefone.
Enfim, muitas alterações já ocorreram e ainda há
muitas para ocorrer. Há muito espaço para a criatividade porque ainda há muita inovação a ser explorada.
Apresentei um resumo muito resumido das ideias todas só para dar uma noção das ideias principais.
Continuo a ler o livro, agora ele analisa as alterações no mercado de trabalho já que não estaremos mais restritos a barreiras físicas e geográficas, permitindo que os empregos se tornem mais concorridos.
