Discussion of Brazil's National Salary Floor for Teachers has centered upon its amount, 950 Brazilian reais (US$ 588) per month. More important, however, is the scope of its concept, i.e., national. The per-capita income of our country's richest city is as much as 100 times greater than that of our poorest city.

Well said Forrest and CB ! written by ch.c.,

They have the money, not only in Brl, but also with their US$ 200 billion in foreign currencies reserve. I said reserve....therefore they will not use it ! smiles ! And the newer printed Reais are not for them either. They are to pay for the interests having the World Highest Rate....after inflation in priority and to make sure their heavy bureaucracy and ensuing retirements plans KEEP growing...BOTH FAST !!!!
Nonetheless, what the ex governor, ex senator, ex education minister forgot to say is what he wrote himself in a previous article in this site, October 26, 2005. - "for example, in the Federal District (DF). There, the teacher's salary (on average 1,475 reais (US$ 653) per month) is paid by the federal government. And the DF government complements - or at least it used to do so when I was governor - this salary with its own resources."
I state it because everywhere else the teachers salaries MUST be paid by the municipalities, not by the state or federal government. Meaning that in DF they have/had rights and privileges that elsewhere they dont/didnt have. Normal.....for one of the World worst social inequality country that Brazil is ranked for.
- "My proposal is that the federal government double the average salary - from 530 reais (US$ 235) to 1,000 reais (US$ 443) - of the municipal and state teachers who have passed a federal competitive exam." And Brazil three years later (200 is talking about a minimum of 850 Brl...starting in 2011 !!!! And no one knows if this minimum will be inflation adjusted or not....until 2011 the starting year !!!!
Welll, in my country teachers are paid by the states, but neither by the municipalities or the federal government. And in the poorest states, the states get subsidizes from the federal government to allow poorest states to offer decent salaries to their teachers.
What is the average a starting teacher salary here in Geneva, a wealthy city ? Simple : 6-7000 US$ and up to 10-12000 US$ for an end of career. This is the teachers salary teaching to young kids. Higher schools or Universities teachers have a starting base salary of around Us$ 10'000 and with years can go up to US$ 20'000.- sometimes more. ALL per month X 13 salaries !!!!!!

Hate written by Ric,
August 13, 2008
Is usually harder on the hater than the hated.
Therefore one regrets to inform you that even though China has more gold medals, the USA is number one in total medals at 22, followed by China with 20, S. Korea with 12, and Australia with 10.
GB is down at number 11, with six total medals.
Don´t take it too hard, sir.

Costinha - you are superb!!!! // "British Eyes" - you disappoint me written by AUGUSTUS,
August 15, 2008
"Costinha" my dear fellow, while I fully endorse your feelings towards the "intended individual", I must say that you are probably wasting your time... Trust me; nobody has spent more time & energy objecting to the insulting remarks posted by such a person... You see, it appears that one of the main purposes of this "Swiss Blogger" (for lack of a more appropriate word) is to find any possible excuse to boast about the superiority of his sordid little country of thieves and racists, which does not even have the decency of developing its own culture, but rather steals from the Glory of Germany, France & Italy...
As for the anti-American comment by "BRITISH EYES", I must express my very deep disappointment, since, as a Brazilian-American who is a DEEP admirer of the glorious History, Culture and Traditions of Her Majesty's country & government, it's very hurtful to witness so much primitive, violent hatred being expressed by a Loyal British Subject. Furthermore, there is no greater friend of Great Britain than the USA...

VEJA MAGAZINE IS EXTREMELY RIGHT WINGED. written by Kauan,
August 22, 2008
O Inssino no Brasiu è otimo" Viram a capa que creio ser a mais recente da Veja? Putz... tenho a matéria na mão, e gostaria de comentar alguns pontos(não todos , porque senão não vai caber no limite do brazzil.com):
- Logo na primeira página, M. Weinberg e C. Pereira, que assinam a matéria, fazem o favor de generalizar todas as famílias brasileiras, dizendo que não se discute desempenho escolar com vigor em nossas casas. Este dado, para mim, só pode ter sido baseado em experiências próprias destas que assinam a matéria, pois em minha casa, não funciona bem assim...
- Do dado real que "22% dos professores do ensino básico não têm diploma universitário", comento: Desde quando 'diploma universitário' é sinônimo de 'bom profissional'? Ou será que não contamos atualmente com o melhor presidente que este país já teve, e que também não tem diploma? Acho que este dado foi mais uma tentativa de desqualificar o Lula...
- No que diz respeito à sessão "Prontos para o Século XIX": Não vou dizer que o prof. Paulo Fiovaranti não errou ao dar por entender que o desemprego se dá somente pelas máquinas, que pertencem aos empresários. Além de ser uma informação incompleta, é uma completa falta de tato para com alunos que são filhos de empresários. Mas não o prof Márcio Santos. Na tabela acima do texto, se vê que 78% dos profs. crêem que o papel da escola é formar cidadãos. Pois bem. Creio que a frase por ele dita, com a adição da citação("O homem se perdeu na necessidade de fazer neócio, ter lucro, exportar" e "Homem primata/capitalismo selvagem"), vêm só resgatar virtudes relativas à humildade e honestidadem desconstruindo a imagem de avareza.
- Ainda na tabela de "Prontos para o Século XIX", é colocado como problema que o prof. considere que a coisa mais importante num livro seja 'Conscientizar os alunos sobre os problemas do mundo'. Ora, se os direitistas da Veja preferem que crianças de 10 anos vejam os problemas do mundo através das lentes da Rede Globo ou das letras de suas revistas, tudo bem, mas que não leve isso na sala de aula!
