    O ambiente escolar é um excelente laboratório para a vida adulta de nossas crianças e adolescentes. Entre inúmeras virtudes, a escola desenvolve resiliência às frustrações e propicia a convivência com a diversidade, pois é um espaço de aprendizado e alegria.

    Ademais, a escola tem legitimidade e autoridade intelectual e moral para ser um agente de transformação da comunidade na qual está inserida. Desgraçadamente, no entanto, não é isso que ocorre em uma boa parte de nossos estabelecimentos de ensino. Mesmo reconhecida por uma maioria como a “nova riqueza das nações”, a escola, no Brasil, tem sido exacerbadamente o espaço de frequentes agressões físicas e morais, muito acima da média mundial, como bem demonstram estatísticas comparativas internacionais.

    Sem forças para reverter uma dura realidade boa parte de nossas escolas é um escoadouro das mazelas sociais e éticas. Destarte, vivenciam-se a violência física e o bullying, cuja frequência e intensidade indicam o quanto a escola está moralmente comprometida, como decorrência da falta de regras claras e de punição adequada, conflitos mal resolvidos e ausência de uma cultura mais humana no colégio ou em casa.

    [...] Além disso, nos últimos anos temos passado por um agravamento de toda essa problemática, uma vez que o Brasil vivencia a imbricação de três graves crises: econômica, política e, a mais avassaladora delas, a crise moral. E, como professa Aristóteles, “o homem guiado pela ética é o melhor dos animais; quando sem ela, é o pior”.

    Assim, quando os valores, virtudes, mérito, dedicação aos estudos e ao trabalho duro são relegados por uma boa parcela de nossos políticos e da população, cabe à pergunta: que força tem a escola para romper os grilhões de violências físicas e morais? Quando o entorno é conflagrado, a agressividade e a intimidação adentram as escolas – se não for pelas portas ou pelas janelas, será pelas frestas. E como estancar essa invasão indesejada e deletéria?[...] Um bom educador é comprometido com a sua comunidade escolar, pois ele carrega dentro de si a chama esplendorosa do entusiasmo em promover o ser humano nos espectros ético, cognitivo, social e espiritual.

    Leia o trecho a seguir para responder a questão 


    Além, muito além daquela serra, que ainda azula no horizonte, nasceu Iracema. Iracema, a virgem dos lábios de mel, que tinha os cabelos mais negros que a asa da graúna, e mais longos que seu talhe de palmeira. O favo da jati não era doce como seu sorriso; nem a baunilha recendia no bosque como seu hálito perfumado. Mais rápida que a corça selvagem, a morena virgem corria o sertão e as matas do Ipu, onde campeava sua guerreira tribo, da grande nação tabajara. O pé grácil e nu, mal roçando, alisava apenas a verde pelúcia que vestia a terra com as primeiras águas. Um dia, ao pino do Sol, ela repousava em um claro da floresta. Banhava-lhe o corpo a sombra da oiticica, mais fresca do que o orvalho da noite. Os ramos da acácia silvestre esparziam flores sobre os úmidos cabelos. Escondidos na folhagem os pássaros ameigavam o canto. Iracema saiu do banho: o aljôfar d'água ainda a roreja, como à doce mangaba que corou em manhã de chuva. Enquanto repousa, empluma das penas do gará as flechas de seu arco, e concerta com o sabiá da mata, pousado no galho próximo, o canto agreste. A graciosa ará, sua companheira e amiga, brinca junto dela. Às vezes sobe aos ramos da árvore e de lá chama a virgem pelo nome; outras remexe o uru de palha matizada, onde traz a selvagem seus perfumes, os alvos fios do crautá, as agulhas da juçara com que tece a renda, e as tintas de que matiza o algodão. Rumor suspeito quebra a doce harmonia da sesta. Ergue a virgem os olhos, que o sol não deslumbra; sua vista perturba-se. Diante dela e todo a contemplá-la está um guerreiro estranho, se é guerreiro e não algum mau espírito da floresta. Tem nas faces o branco das areias que bordam o mar; nos olhos o azul triste das águas profundas. Ignotas armas e tecidos ignotos cobrem-lhe o corpo. Foi rápido, como o olhar, o gesto de Iracema. A flecha embebida no arco partiu. Gotas de sangue borbulham na face do desconhecido. De primeiro ímpeto, a mão lesta caiu sobre a cruz da espada; mas logo sorriu. O moço guerreiro aprendeu na religião de sua mãe, onde a mulher é símbolo de ternura e amor. Sofreu mais d'alma que da ferida. O sentimento que ele pôs nos olhos e no rosto, não o sei eu. Porém a virgem lançou de si o arco e a uiraçaba, e correu para o guerreiro, sentida da mágoa que causara. A mão que rápida ferira, estancou mais rápida e compassiva o sangue que gotejava. Depois Iracema quebrou a flecha homicida: deu a haste ao desconhecido, guardando consigo a ponta farpada. O guerreiro falou: — Quebras comigo a flecha da paz? — Quem te ensinou, guerreiro branco, a linguagem de meus irmãos? Donde vieste a estas matas, que nunca viram outro guerreiro como tu? — Venho de bem longe, filha das florestas. Venho das terras que teus irmãos já possuíram, e hoje têm os meus. — Bem-vindo seja o estrangeiro aos campos dos tabajaras, senhores das aldeias, e à cabana de Araquém, pai de Iracema. (José de Alencar. Iracema. Brasília: Ministério da Cultura. Fundação Nacional do Livro)

    In a nationwide referendum, the Turkish population has voted for a change in the country’s constitution. It will give the president more power and reduce the influence of parliament. 51.3% of the voters said “Yes” to a change , while the “No” side received 48.7%. For months, the population has been divided on the issue. The new constitution is the biggest change in the structure of Turkey since it was founded in the early 20th century. 
    The referendum was a victory for Turkish President Recip Erdogan, who, together with his ruling AKP Party , called the country’s people to expand presidential powers. Erdogan became Turkey’s president in 2014 after being Prime Minster for over a decade. In the last few years he gained more and more power, especially after the attempted coup last summer. With the new constitution in place Erdogan could stay president until 2029.
    Recip Erdogan insists that the new constitution will make Turkey more modern and easier to govern. Opponents of Erdogan claim that the change will make the president too powerful and will turn the country into a dictatorship ruled by one person. They say that, in future, the president cannot be controlled or supervised by parliament or the courts. In Turkey’s new constitution the president will have wide-ranging powers. He will not only be able to appoint his own minsters and choose the vice president, but also have the power to dissolve parliament and declare a state of emergency. He will also be able to appoint judges to the highest court, similar to the American President. 
    The European Union has been highly critical of the referendum and stated that a change towards more presidential power will not help Turkey become a member of the EU. It is afraid that, once Erdogan has more power, the country will disregard human rights and introduce the death penalty.

    View from the Rio favelas: 'We're often scared to leave the house in case we're hit by a stray bullet'

    A year has gone by since the Olympic Games. Only 147 of those 365 days ended without the residents of Complexo do Alemão hearing gunshots. After the promises of hope and the Games’ legacy of peace, 218 days were accompanied by a soundtrack of gunfire.

    On 218 days we were afraid we wouldn’t make it home alive; we were scared to leave the house in case we were hit by a stray bullet; on 218 days we were afraid that the walls of our homes might be hit. To pretend that we were not in a war zone, the military police painted their armoured military tanks – popularly called caveirão, or “big skull” – white.

    For a long time I’ve wondered about the reason for the conflict and danger in the favelas of Rio, the same places that hold so much shared affection, culture, art and memory.

    Since the Olympics, residents of the Complexo do Alemão have been afraid of organising a cultural event in the neighbourhood square, or of people gathering outside because an intense shootout might happen without prior notice, with no chance to find protection. It has been 218 days of fear.

    All eyes – and investments – were turned to Brazil when it hosted, over 10 years, three mega sporting events. But the country has failed to keep its promises of peace after the 2007 Pan-American Games, the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games.

    Before the Olympics, the state was completely absent in the favela. Back then we had no cable car – now we do, but it doesn’t work. We did not have family clinics – now we do, but without medical care. There were no police – now there are, and we live with daily shootings. What have the poorest received as a result of the Games? On television, I see only news of corruption.

    Brazil is at war, some say. A war on the poor, justified by drugs. A war that justifies, for many (but not for me) the presence of the Brazilian army in the streets of the city. The beauty of Rio’s natural landscapes contrasts with the conflict of our daily lives, militarised by the government.

    We need to talk about the relationship between violence and drugs. Young people from different favelas are now coming together to think about strategies that we hope can feed into public policies on drugs in Brazil. The #Movimentos movement – which runs discussions and seminars for young people – was created because it isn’t possible to deal with the drugs issue without the input of those who live with the consequences of failed policies. 

    As other countries move towards resolving the issue in a serious way, investing in research and prevention mechanisms in public health services, Brazil invests in more weapons and repression that result in an increase of death and incarceration – particularly among people who are poor, black, young and living in favelas.

    But despite all the fear, all the chaos, we continue to conquer the world, occupying the spaces that we have been historically denied. The Coletivo Papo Reto (Straight Talk Collective) has created a calendar that celebrates the good news and achievements of the people who live in Complexo do Alemão. Many people may not understand what it is that motivates us in the midst of this chaos and fear. I don’t know either – but I feel that I must keep going.

    Before the Olympics, the state was completely absent in the favela. Back then we had no cable car – now we do, but it doesn’t work. We did not have family clinics – now we do, but without medical care. There were no police – now there are, and we live with daily shootings. What have the poorest received as a result of the Games? On television, I see only news of corruption.

    Brazil is at war, some say. A war on the poor, justified by drugs. A war that justifies, for many (but not for me) the presence of the Brazilian army in the streets of the city. The beauty of Rio’s natural landscapes contrasts with the conflict of our daily lives, militarised by the government.

    We need to talk about the relationship between violence and drugs. Young people from different favelas are now coming together to think about strategies that we hope can feed into public policies on drugs in Brazil. The #Movimentos movement – which runs discussions and seminars for young people – was created because it isn’t possible to deal with the drugs issue without the input of those who live with the consequences of failed policies. 

    As other countries move towards resolving the issue in a serious way, investing in research and prevention mechanisms in public health services, Brazil invests in more weapons and repression that result in an increase of death and incarceration – particularly among people who are poor, black, young and living in favelas.

    But despite all the fear, all the chaos, we continue to conquer the world, occupying the spaces that we have been historically denied. The Coletivo Papo Reto (Straight Talk Collective) has created a calendar that celebrates the good news and achievements of the people who live in Complexo do Alemão. Many people may not understand what it is that motivates us in the midst of this chaos and fear. I don’t know either – but I feel that I must keep going.

    View from the Rio favelas: 'We're often scared to leave the house in case we're hit by a stray bullet'

    A year has gone by since the Olympic Games. Only 147 of those 365 days ended without the residents of Complexo do Alemão hearing gunshots. After the promises of hope and the Games’ legacy of peace, 218 days were accompanied by a soundtrack of gunfire.

    On 218 days we were afraid we wouldn’t make it home alive; we were scared to leave the house in case we were hit by a stray bullet; on 218 days we were afraid that the walls of our homes might be hit. To pretend that we were not in a war zone, the military police painted their armoured military tanks – popularly called caveirão, or “big skull” – white.

    For a long time I’ve wondered about the reason for the conflict and danger in the favelas of Rio, the same places that hold so much shared affection, culture, art and memory.

    Re-Planting a Forest, One Drone at a Time


    That funny little buzz you hear in the forest may not just be the hum of summer insects. In the near future it could be a small fleet of drones, coming to replant and restore forests that have been stripped of trees by industrial-scale deforestation. It’s all part of an ambitious plan by BioCarbon Engineering, a U.K.-based startup on a global mission to battle widespread clear-cutting, which strips more than 26 billion trees off the planet each year. CEO Lauren Fletcher, who spent 20 years as an engineer with NASA, says the only way to fight industrial-scale deforestation is with industrial-scale reforestation. Their idea: plant 1 billion trees a year. The first targets are in South Africa and the Amazonian jungles, both of which have suffered from widespread forest eradication.

    BioCarbon’s reforestation scheme is simple and efficient. Here’s a quick look at how it plans to deploy its drone fleet: 


    1 Do a 3-D aerial survey. First, drones are sent to fly over a potential planting zone, snapping photos that create 3-D maps of the area to be reforested. The number of drones will vary depending up on the size of the seeding.

    2 Create a seeding plan. Once all that terrain data has been analyzed, it then generates a seeding pattern that best suits the terrain.

    3 Load the seed pods. The drones, which are equipped with guidance and control software, carry pressurized canisters of seed pods with germinated seeds immersed in a nutrient-rich gel.

    4 Hover and plant. Flying at a height of 1 or 2 meters, the drones follow the planting patterns, firing the biodegradable seed pods down to the ground. The pods break open upon impact, allowing the germinated seed a chance to take root.

    5 Monitor growth. After planting, the drones do low-level flights to assess the health of the sprouts and saplings.


    Such “precision forestry,” as BioCarbon calls it, is extremely efficient. A farmer might hand plant as many as 3,000 seeds a day; Fletcher says his drones can drop up to 36,000 seed pods daily, often in areas where a human can’t reach. Working with local ecologists, BioCarbon will use the drones to spread a variety of tree species, as well as microorganisms and fungi designed to improve the soil quality. “The central focus is ecosystem restoration,” Fletcher says.

    On a planetary climatological scale, Morton notes that “tropical deforestation plays a big role in global climate cycles,” claiming the accelerated pace of cutting and burning of forests accounted for 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the 1990s. Fletcher and his team want to help reverse that trend. “By planting at the scale we’re looking at,” he says, “we can make a real longterm impact. We hope to do a lot of good in the world.”

    Los ensayos de Conan Doyle sobre literatura y escritura reflejan un cierto hartazgo de su propio detective

    El actor Basil Rathbone, en la piel de 'Sherlock Holmes'. THE GRANGER COLLECTION, NUEVA YORK

    Sherlock Holmes se convirtió en una criatura tan real que los escolares franceses llegados a Londres querían ver su (inexistente) casa en Baker Street, y muchos lectores enviaban cartas a su creador para pedirle autógrafos de su detective. Cuando Arthur Conan Doyle anunció que Holmes se retiraba para dedicarse a la apicultura en South Downs, el escritor empezó a recibir misivas ofreciéndole ayuda para la tarea. “¿Necesitará el señor Holmes un ama de llaves para su casa de campo?”, se interesaba una de ellas. “Sé de alguien a quien le encanta la vida tranquila del campo, además de ser una mujer discreta como las de antes”. Y no era la única. 

    No importaban las excentricidades que se gastaba el detective en el 221 B de Baker Street con su propia casera y criada, la señora Hudson, ni el peligro en que ponía el inmueble virtual una y otra vez. Los candidatos a asistirle en su etapa como apicultor u otras eran reales, como reales eran las peticiones de ayuda que recibía el doctor Conan Doyle para que investigara misterios sin resolver.

    El elegante sir británico (Edimburgo, 1859-Crowborough, 1930) dejó la huella de sus recuerdos en Mis libros, Ensayos sobre literatura y escritura, una sabrosa rareza para aficionados y curiosos que Páginas de Espuma ha traído a España en traducción de Jon Bilbao. Estará en las librerías a la vuelta del verano.

    ¿Es justo que la criatura adquiera más fama que el creador? ¿No es realmente digno de orgullo que Frankenstein, Sherlock, Dorian Gray, el Quijote o Sancho se conviertan en iconos y parte de nuestro imaginario sin que prestemos atención al autor? Conan Doyle se resiente un tanto de que su criatura le supere y lo narra divertido en sus ensayos, llenos de anécdotas sobre casos reales que reclamaban de él el planteamiento que hubiera hecho Holmes si hubiera vivido de verdad.
