Musical Intelligence Opinion I represent a group of music teachers that try to improve the music area in basic education (schools and high schools). Here in Spain the music in school almost has disappeared so we try to change that. We think that "we don't do music because we are humans but we are humans because we do music". In the last meeting we were talking about a theory and I would like share with you if don't care. When I am reading something about the theory of Multiple Intelligences I have realised that the Musical Intelligence "only" serve to be musician. The rest of Intelligences are useful to resolve a lot of problems but I don't know what problem resolve the music. These things I have learned from reading your books. But now I think: Could be the Musical Intelligence the core which the rest of Intelligences go out branched? Howard Gardner own say that the Musical Intelligence is related with every other Intelligences and it is true that the first human comunication is musical (the baby undertand the "music" in the language not their signified) so maybe it is necesary develop the Musical Intelligence to develop the rest of Intelligences. How do you think about? I am very far or maybe this would be true?

Times of politic In my country they use to say that the left (in politic) has finished. Even the left parties say that. They argue that the world has changed and they have to adapt the actual politic conditions. Ok, let see to the right parties. They say that they are liberals, especially in economyc policy. But these parties are being investigated by corruption. All of their hierarchy: since their president until some simple party man, so they are liberals but in other sense of word... Then, what will be our future? The last year I read a book about rome republic history. It seemed that I had read some newspaper from today.... Oh my good....

Too many homework? In my country has emerged a new debate. Do the spanish students have a lot of homework? I could say a big yes a long time ago but my work colleagues are not agree. The pupils in spain can have between one to three daily hours of homework without the exams period. They have six hours at school and other three hours at home. Nine hours in total. Their fathers work less. The teacher says that the effort is important. This tell some teacher of old school. In my country the people say "the letter with blood enter" and they follow thinking the same. We need a deep changes in our education. Maybe we can look at other countries with new education systems, better and more humanitarian.

My second writing in "Italki" I present you an old picture. Imagine: suburbs of a big city situated in a developing country. You can see a lot of poor houses made with waste materials. But we can see that each of the houses have a satellite dish to watch TV. OMG!!! They haven't got money to buy foods but everybody have money to buy a TV? How it's possible? I have a fool theory. The most important things for humans are foods, clothes and relationships. Are you agree? I'm not. I think the most important thing for humans is to have our time occupied with something fun. My little daughter prefer play with me that eat. I think that this is because our brain is ready to learn things to survive, and the best way to do that is through the game or through to do something fun. What do you think?
