My immigration to Uruguay and life in Montevideo: Immigration with children to Uruguay - Education and public schools in Uruguay. My immigration to Uruguay and life in Montevideo: Immigration with children to Uruguay - Education and public schools in Uruguay Every morning
Means additional difficulties and problems of adaptation of immigrants. Whatever the age of your children, education comes first. What school to choose in Uruguay? First of all, a choice must be made between the private and public education systems in Uruguay.
Public schools in Uruguay are open and even compulsory for all children, regardless of Uruguayan citizenship. The percentage of those who can read in Uruguay is 97.7%. This is higher than in many developed countries, higher than in Canada. Which means that the education system in Uruguay is quite efficient.
The success of the Uruguayan educational system is largely due to José Pedro Varela in the late 19th century, who studied the school system in Europe, particularly in France.
Uruguayan schoolchildren wear, as in all Latin America, white coats with a large blue bow. Children study in Uruguay only 4 hours before or after lunch. A shortened school day means that your child has the opportunity, time to relax, play sports, physical activity, and communicate with their peers. In this respect, the educational system in Uruguay, as well as the former USSR, compares favorably with the educational system of North America and, in particular, Canada. In Canada, young children from first grade study from 9 o'clock until half past four. Although, in my opinion, such small schoolchildren are not yet ready for effective learning during this long school day. Not to mention the fact that they do not have time to relax, play enough, just be in the fresh air, engage in physical activity. Which, in turn, may explain overweight children and other childhood health problems endemic to North America. Autism in particular.
An interesting fact about the school system in Uruguay is that every student, without exception, receives a laptop computer with Internet access for free. Uruguay is the only country in the world in this respect. It seems that even Cuba can also boast of the same. So much for the poor third world countries. In Canada and America, only some private schools are starting to introduce free laptops.
The Uruguayan school teaches Spanish, mathematics, history (with a strong emphasis on Uruguayan history) and science, which includes chemistry, physics and much more. Little attention is paid to the arts and physical education of children.
Discipline problems in Uruguay are not as acute as in America and Canada, where some schools are forced to have policemen on duty with handcuffs at the ready. In America, metal detectors are also used to prevent students from bringing weapons to school.
School teachers try to make do with moralizing lectures. Physical punishment is of course prohibited. Every day the teacher greets your child with a kiss and a hug. Says goodbye at the end of the school day with the same kiss and hug. Kissing in general is too widespread throughout Latin America, which is perhaps not a good thing. But such is Latin American culture. If you don't like it, look for other countries for immigration.
Unfortunately, class sizes in public schools in Uruguay can be large. The law says that if there are more than 39 students in a class, then there must be a second teacher in the class.
Many Uruguayan schools are used for internships, that is, students of Uruguayan teacher training colleges in their last year of study practice for a year under the guidance of an experienced teacher. This means combining the etusiasm of youth with the wisdom of an experienced teacher, which only benefits the Uruguayan schoolchildren.
Every school in Uruguay has a parent council whose energy and enthusiasm the school can benefit from.
A disadvantage of Uruguay's public education system is the low salaries of teachers, which results in many Uruguayan teachers working in more than one school. And thus pay less attention to those students who need additional support.
Uruguayan teachers are recruited by the central office and assigned to specific schools, which can result in teachers having to spend a lot of time traveling from home to work. It can also cool their efficiency, their productivity.
If your children are still small and you don't have to worry about educating your children somewhere in prestigious expensive colleges in North America or Europe, then Uruguay's free educational system is what you need. Maybe. And most importantly - you will have time and money to spend on something else.
The attitude towards children in Uruguay is very reverent. It should be noted that this country has a well-developed system of preschool and school education, very good kindergartens and schools. Uruguay has many private establishments of the highest caliber. If you decide to move with your children to Uruguay, then first of all you need to make a choice between private and public education systems. Public schools in Uruguay are open and even compulsory for all children, regardless of Uruguayan citizenship. The percentage of those who can read in Uruguay is 97.7%. This is higher than in many developed countries, for example higher than in Canada. This means that the education system in Uruguay is quite efficient. The success of the Uruguayan educational system is largely due to José Pedro Varela at the end of the 19th century, who studied the school educational system in Europe, in particular in France. The school uniform of the students is very simple, it is a white coat with a large blue bow. Education at the school lasts 4 hours, lessons can be both before lunch and after. The shortened school day means that the child had everyone's favorite physical education lesson, where children freely communicate with their peers. In this respect, the educational system in Uruguay, as well as in the former USSR, compares favorably with the educational system of North America and, in particular, Canada. In Canada, young children from first grade study from 9 o'clock until half past four. Although, in my opinion, such small schoolchildren are not yet ready for effective learning during this long school day. Not to mention the fact that they do not have time to relax, play enough, just be in the fresh air, engage in physical activity.

Physical punishment is of course prohibited. Every morning, the school principal meets his students at the entrance to the school, and his duties include saying good morning and obligatory kissing the child on the cheek, the teachers do the same, they joyfully meet the child with a kiss and hug. Says goodbye at the end of the school day with the same kiss and hug. Kissing in general is too common in Uruguay, which is perhaps not a good thing. But that's just how Uruguayan culture is.

This means combining the enthusiasm of youth with the wisdom of an experienced teacher, which only benefits Uruguayan students. Every school in Uruguay has a parent council whose energy and enthusiasm the school can benefit from. Many Uruguayans and Argentines prefer an English private school, teaching takes place in Spanish and English in half, there are students from Germany and France in this school and it costs only $ 100 per month. A German private school costs a little more. There are also private American, Italian and French schools in Uruguay. There are also many free schools. Some parents in Uruguay believe that there is no great need to send their child to a paid private school. If your children are still small and you don't have to worry about educating your children somewhere in prestigious expensive colleges in North America or Europe, then Uruguay's free educational system is what you need. Maybe. And most importantly, you will have time and money to spend on something else. The private education system in Uruguay is 10 times cheaper than in Canada or America. Welcome to Uruguay!
Uruguay.
Uruguayan life.
Problems of education (the view of an outsider).
Because I have a small child, then, of course, I am concerned about the problem of kindergartens and education in general.
While my child does not go anywhere, and I just look and listen, that's what I peeped at.
Kindergartens
There are no quiet hours in the kindergartens.
Children can be brought for a full day until 17 or half a day from 8.30 to 12 and from 13 to 17.
In kindergartens, children are not fed, so eat what you brought with you dry rations. You can warm up the sandwich in the microwave.
The kindergarten is not concerned about the health of children. They go snotty - so be it. The snot will interfere - wipe it with a sleeve.
In the kindergarten, children play sitting on the cold stone floor, from there the previous paragraph often happens.
In kindergarten, and school, there is no such thing as quarantine. For example, a child fell ill with chickenpox, let him walk, it’s more fun not to sit at home alone, but to get sick all together
From kindergarten and school, children often bring pets such as lice. Here, no one bothers with this, well, lice and lice will bite, run, run away to another.
Often kindergartens are just a private house in which one room is for younger children, the other is older. Walking children takes place on a personal plot no larger than 5 acres. They take turns walking. Seniors first, then juniors, and vice versa.
I am talking not only about municipal kindergartens, but the same is observed in private ones.
School
I will not write about private ones, there is still little information, but I have heard a lot about municipal ones.
At school, lessons from 8 dr 12 and not a minute later. For kids, this is normal, but for high school, I think it's not enough.
Homework is not assigned (this is the dream of a Soviet schoolchild). When asked what you don’t ask, they say that everyone managed to pass the lesson.
There can be 30 or more people in a class. If there are more than 30 people, add a second teacher (if found)
The school may not have a teacher for a particular subject, or a teacher may not show up. It's okay, let the kids have a rest, sing, draw, play football.
The main emphasis is on the history of Uruguay and physical education.
Lessons can be canceled due to wind, cold at -2C, good weather (why sit in class, let's have a picnic, go hiking)
Thanks to all this, almost no one in Uruguay knows a word of English or any other
Often people write only in block letters, and to be honest, they count, it sucks, even with a calculator.
But everyone is cheerful, sweet and sociable.
In private schools, the level of education will certainly be better, and significantly, but it also costs a lot of money, especially by local standards, and all schools are located in Montevideo.
So think about it - take your child to the city every day, or let him study close to home, enjoy his childhood.
And now he teaches the players manners.
The head coach of Uruguay is one of the most powerful figures in the 2018 World Cup. 71-year-old Oscar Tabares cannot move without the help of crutches (), but this did not stop him from leading his team to the quarterfinals, throwing Cristiano Ronaldo out of the tournament.
Tabares is infinitely respected at home. For 12 years now, he has, in fact, been involved in all Uruguayan football and attends training sessions for teams of every age. From stars like Suarez and Cavani to young players who are under 15, he has an amazing way of reaching out to everyone.
“Tabares gradually won over the players with his actions. Values such as friendship are the key to success in teacher-student relationships. They helped us overcome a lot while being in the national team, ”Cavani told reporters.
The comparison with a teacher is not accidental - for a very long time Oscar has been called nothing more than el Maestro (Teacher). This is due not only to the individual approach of the coach to the players - Tabares really worked at the school.
The Uruguayan ended his career in 1979 - the 32-year-old Bella Vista defender, after several knee operations, could no longer continue to play as before. But the question "Where to go?" – typical of many retired players – did not stand in front of Tabares: a graduate of the University of Montevideo was already working in his specialty in parallel with football – he taught in schools.
Oscar had no plans to return to football at all. He liked to study, and he actively studied history and philosophy - in the plans of Tabares there was a professorship. And working as an elementary school teacher was only the first step towards a dream. For two years he managed to work in three schools - and in each he was the favorite of the students. But they paid little, and he and his wife were expecting a fourth child. Oscar returned to football, becoming the coach of the children's team - first part-time, and then full-time - he had to leave the school. Eight years later, he led the Uruguay national team for the first time.
But even after becoming everyone's favorite coach, Tabares continued to teach. Among the first decisions after returning to the national team in 2006 was the introduction of Uruguayan football history lessons for players. Although Oscar is ready to teach any lesson at the right moment.
“Once we were playing in Japan, and we were talking among ourselves about how surprised we were by the local culture. After lunch, Master gathered the guys and we listened to his story about Japan, its history, everything that happened in the country. He is a very educated person,” recalls Diego Forlan.
Tabares also cares about cultural development. He organizes trips to museums and theaters for young players, instills in them a love of classical music and even botany - the head of the national training complex of Uruguay, Claudio Pagani, is delighted with the coach's knowledge of plants.
The teacher organized English courses for national team players, educates them in good manners. You won't see a Uruguayan football player with his legs up on a chair. Cell phones are not used during breakfast, lunch, or team meetings, and off-pitch shoes are usually immaculately clean. And in his teams everyone always greets each other - this is his mandatory requirement.
Oscar Tabares makes his players better - not as players, but as people. And this desire is explained quite simply:
“I am a football person, but I understand that there are more important things in the world than football. But there are also things that football can help. Sport should greatly contribute to health and education – that is what we should use for development, and not just the money we earn.”

LEADING The teacher must constantly change, constantly study in his own school, then he will not be a mechanical teacher. /L.N. Tolstoy/
The teacher is a sacred profession. Just as a doctor is responsible for people's health before his conscience and only before it, so a teacher is responsible before his conscience for what kind of knowledge he brings to people. / I.N. Ulyanov/
These sayings of great teachers somehow characterize the duties and rights of a teacher. And what are the rights of our dear teachers? They have every right to take part in our game, and I invite the first three players to the drum.

In pre-revolutionary Russia, in gymnasiums, teachers called the answers of poorly studying students with a Latin word that translates as "stupidity." The high school students remade it into a slang term that we still use today. What do you think this word is? The move is effective, 50 points and I will ask you to name the letter.
Students who don't know anything but try to answer what they say?

"Scientific lecture on the feat of a teacher"
After many years of observing homo sapiens of the "teachers" subspecies, scientists analyzed them and published generalized conclusions.
Turns out:
Almost all educators tear their hair out from time to time.(pulls off man's hair) ;
They work tirelessly and in the absence of results, they lower them(removes hands from the picture);
And if everything went well, they can lose their heads(removes head) ;
Coming home after work they stretch their legs(removes legs);
Many tear their backs(removes the body)
And what is left after all this?(referring to the audience) That's right - the heart! And with this heart, every day, when you come to work, you are ready again and again: stretch your legs, tear your backs, pull yourself together, style your hair and raise your head high towards a new day and every child! Happy holiday, dear teachers! This musical number sounds for you!Nedoseev
