Presentations’ summaries
Use of Uniform at school Many schools agree that uniforms help remove economic barriers, build feelings of community, and reduce instances of bullying. founded on similar beliefs that uniforms decrease distractions, simplify the morning routine, increase respect for each student, and prepare students for success by teaching professional dress. Some reasons to encourage school´s uniforms: 1. School spirit: One of the best ways to get students engaged with their school is to have them wear its colors day in and out. By getting everyone to wear the same set of clothes, schools can encourage a sense of unity, so that all students understand they are part of a common whole. 2. Reduce bullying: Schools can use uniforms to cut down on bullying. By making everyone wear the same set of clothes, they reduce the opportunities for kids to make fun of each other based on their clothing choices. 3. Cost savings: School uniforms are often significantly cheaper than branded clothing. Instituting them is thus a great way to help parents and the school save money.
51
4. Students identification: Uniforms help school administrators identify who is a student and who is not. This makes it easier to ensure that students do not sneak into unauthorized areas.
52
5. Environmental initiatives: Uniforms reduce the total amount of clothing students must buy. Schools can incorporate this into a lesson about conserving resources and protecting the environment.
Traditional costumes in Guatemala In Guatemala there are different communities that own typical costumes, these suits have to be respect at the different schools of Guatemala according to the following articles of the Guatemalan constitution:
Artículo 66.- Protección a grupos étnicos. Guatemala está formada por diversos grupos étnicos, entre los que figuran los grupos indígenas de ascendencia maya. El Estado reconoce, respeta y promueve sus formas de vida, costumbres, tradición es, formas de organización social, el uso del traje indígena en hombres y mujeres, idiomas y dialectos.
Artículo 71.- Derecho a la educación. Se garantiza la libertad de enseñanza y de criterio docente. Es obligación del Estado proporcionar y facilitar educación a sus habitantes, sin discriminación alguna. Se declara de utilidad y necesidad públicas la fundación y mantenimiento de centros educativos culturales y museos. The “Acuerdo Ministerial No.930” of the Educative Ministry of Guatemala, it is the main document related to with the use of typical costumes in students: Artículo 1. – En todos los establecimientos educativos oficiales y privados de la República, se debe promover y respetar el uso del traje indígena por los (as) estudiantes, maestros (as), personal técnico y administrativo, en las actividades docentes, cívicas, sociales, protocolarias y otras, sin restricción alguna. Artículo 2. – Los reglamentos y disposiciones de los establecimientos educativos deben incluir la libertad de utilizar trajes indígenas por parte de los estudiantes y miembros de la comunidad educativa.
53
According to this document, it is prohibited to force an indigenous student to wear the official uniform of educational establishments. It is optional to use, so if he or she decide to use it shouldn't be a cause for bother. The directors of the schools, supervisors and authorities of the Ministry, are in charge of ensuring compliance with this agreement.

Missing Children And Teenagers What teachers can do? In the last few days in Guatemala were many news about missing children and teenagers. People is wondering why this is happening, but there are many circumstances what we can mention as:
58
• family problems • Sexual abuse • Rebellion • White slave traffic and so on… But as a teacher what can we do about this issue? We can do a lot because we play the role of protectors in the school. After the kidnapping of two kids, an institution was born with the strong purpose of safe kids. The system is named as these kids Alba-Keneth and the purpose is to take quick actions to localize the missing kid.
The number to call to announce a missing is 1546 24 hrs. or by social webs.
How can we prevent this to happen? Is important to be alert as a teacher the children behavior, have good communication, support parents by giving psychological information, be responsible and report as soon as find something wrong. As teachers we have the responsibility to protect our students Lpina art. 44 and 55. And as soon as we know or noticed that a kid or teenage disappear is important to bring the information to the authorities in charge.
Sexual abuse What can we do as teachers? First is important to know the meaning of sexual abuse, and this is the violent that is based on power which seeks to submit a girl or a boy, and it can be physical or emotional. As teacher we can pay attention to the signs that can be the alert to prevent or to make it stop: the refuse to go to school, aggressiveness, fear, isolation, or rebellion, these can be symptoms. The physical symptoms can be the way to be sitting, the way of being walking, urinary infections, pregnancy, bruises, and many others that are clear that this kid is in sexual abuse.
As teachers this is an alert to prevent more abuse, is important to do something like to make feel the kid or teenager sure that can trust, try to make them feel that there is a way to exit of this kind of abuse, and show you believe, and avoid questioning, also is important to inform the agency in charge to involve to resolve it.
59
Prejudices and stereotypes Conditions of the social coexistence
60
These are discriminatory attitudes with serious consequences. Violence and aggression. The stereotype and prejudice are negative behaviors toward a person or a group of people, these attitudes are called discrimination. There exists many kinds of discrimination but we are going to focus specially on youngers behavior at school, these can be because of culture, color of skin, nationality, gender, and many others. As teacher most be alert of what is going on in the hall of the school, the students are suffering verbal abuse,
violence, abuse, insults, harassment, and the way they feel can be notice very easy because the students are lonely, sad, no appetite, bad scores and many other things that can be alert to see that something is happening. As teachers we are responsible to help these students to confront and to become stronger. And in the other side to create awareness in the students that are doing this, because these may be calling the attention because something is happening at home too. Is important to pay attention on this because we can safe a young boy or a girl from suicide.
