translated from Spanish: Homosexuality: a taboo subject in schools?

the school, the place where kids and girls learn, have fun. It is one of the first spaces that allows to connect with different realities, stories. Through sharing with colleagues, classmates and their teachers begin to question that surrounds them. A few days ago was shared on social networks a video that was replicated by dozens of people. What amazed users was the song of a teacher that included different family models, without falling into traditionalism “Dad, MOM and siblings”.

“Because they are all different, always I will love. Family is MOM and dad, or two moms or two dads, grandparents, uncles, cousins and friends. It is love what matters here “, sings the teacher together with small pupils. Before the impact of the clip, Filo.News spoke with the teacher in kindergarten and in the area of special education, and a psychologist, María Laura Pécora, about the impact of video, the resources available in the institutions and the reserves present in the system educational.” I saw the video and I loved it. Music is a resource, but it is particularly not the idea to crush concepts and beliefs from there but work with them since, otherwise, the boy becomes a parrot repeating meaningless”, warns Pecora. do refers to schemes of family in schools ?
Song Yes or no? What resources are working in schools, and kindergartens? Talking about the video, the teacher was listing a series of techniques and methodologies, as well as the music. 

Video about the family, the kids and the girls sing we work through the game (with all sorts of toys, the toy does not have gender: is not ‘of nena or nene’), drawing, school events, projects that cross thematic units, questions that go surgiend or, from art (not only with the drawing, but also with projects like ‘Paint the school’), reading, comprehensive games with workshops in which summon families (dynamic aiming to settle among themselves and to work together with the kids) “, and from many other sides.” Yes, of course spoken and in the different areas and levels. Primary area of special education, etc. I don’t know if in all schools. Unfortunately, even for some schools – and even professionals – is still a taboo subject. In public the topic is most frequently. In some private also. They are issues part of the ESI”, he said.
María Laura Pécora ensures that in public schools, there is less resistance than the “head is another”. “In private schools there is everything, people more piola and those who maintain certain pacatismo, which are attached to religion which commands us – implicitly or not – is part of the nature: a man and a woman, the scheme of family and reproductive function.” Already was the story all that. And the function of enjoy? what relationships have to be formed by a man and a woman? who says so? “, asks.”
“Sexuality is and was a taboo subject for many people. There is a very established paradigm of what ‘should be’. Cost acceptance”, he adds.

In this context, the teacher and a graduate in psychology recognized in schools “missing address many issues” and adds: “one as a professional has to adapt to the times running, open your mind. Still looks more pacatos professionals, taboo topics or with the closed mind, that it costs them, watching a strangely to a boy with two mommies. They make some humorous with double meaning. It causes me rejection because behind the joke, there is a non-acceptance to the difference”. Construct and deconstruct dare to relativize the world, to ask, to not be given the phenomena and circumstances seems to be an attitude of children. Children interrogating and hence in doubt, it is where teachers displayed creativity, teach.

In the video you see a girl playing with a truck “including us crosses. Then, how to work: from various places, throughout the year, all the time. Since a mockery, why a guy was offended. One as a professional can bring it as a theme of reflection. Inclusion in everything, not just from the sexual is chubby, why? What causes rejection, marginalisation. What is regarded with surprise, naturalize him”, says the teacher. “As at the time will have been a paradigm shift see stepfamilies, today are different families: families with two mothers or two fathers, with single moms, guys in charge of a single grandmother, adopted kids, others whose parents are in a clinic for” addictions. Families have changed. “What was ‘natural’ – having a dad and a MOM – is the most unusual to see”, says teacher Pecora.la and psychologist recalled that during one of his years at initial level there was a MOM in particular, Rudi, who worked more than all the parents in the carpentry workshop – a j adorned for families and girls / os-, Pinocchio, an initiative on folktales. Sexual orientation was not a condition and despite the comments of other adult present low, Pecora acknowledged the task of Rudi and asked for a round of applause by those present. “The theme and video impact on families a little more closed. It impacts see two moms or dads present at a meeting of parents. Unfortunately arise reviews low”, regrets.
“It is said children to question everything when in fact looking pejoratively is adult. If a boy looks at two moms in the hand and says: ‘they’re two girls!’, one as adult responds: ‘Yes, they are two girls and you want to’. The child learns that way”, says the specialist.

That wasn’t the only experience of the teacher. From psychoanalysis also he ran closely into another situation. The mother of a student who was in the garden contacted her years later, knew that he is a psychologist. So when the baby was in fifth grade, he had it as a patient. She doesn’t you explain what was the reason for the consultation, which one asks in the interview for admission.” Look, I want you to see it, does not have many friends. Well what happens is not known. It is very good but doesn’t play much with the guys. Only with a girl who is a friend of his from the garden and nothing more. Notice something about you”, he says.

Kids singing “Family” sessions initiated the theme María Laura Pécora became viral. They play. To be teaching planter account with a box with many materials: mass, toy soldiers, blocks, and more. The nene chose a doll and a Ken.mas forward started drawing – filled with flowers, birds and butterflies – and sheet to make shapes with mass. “I ladybugs like me because they fulfill desires”, he said. “Me di account than the mother was willing to send to the nene to session to reeducate him in something that she also saw.” Was very clear sexual choice,”recalls the psychologist and teacher.” I actually asked him what was coming. She with much shame told me ‘ I see him very effeminate, he is a male did you see?’. “Looked at her very decisively and I told him that it wouldn’t make a re-education”, adds. “Therapy is for it to release everything that has repressed”, mentions Pecora who remembers child fondly. Small’s father was not present at any of the sessions. It did not agree with the decision of the mother of his son. By way of closing, Pecora says that love is not discussed, there should be so much disparity of opinions, which has various forms and one choose, feels it and expresses it. It proposes and put it into practice. When say: “Let’s organize a choir with families!”, and answer him: “But came two moms of Juani”, think and transmit: “Buenisimo! The family came from Juani”.” It is great that there is diversity and multiplicity of family patterns. Each one chooses how to be and that’s what makes us unique”ends.
