Our modern society has been obsessed with conquering and scientifically controlling the world around us. However, chaotic, nonlinear systems, such as nature, society, and our individual lives lie beyond all our attempts to predict, manipulate, and control them.

CEF Guide
It is a reference framework that describes various proficiency levels in foreign language learning. The CEFR it is use almost in all the activities in the entire EU. It distinguishes three levels of foreign language proficiency:
The Basic Language User
Indipendet Language User
Proficient Language User
In this case the last level is the one that a native speaker can have; the second one is an intermediate level maybe, we can say the level of our students can have during their learning process. Of course that depends on the level and place your teaching; and the last one is used for the people that can developed the language in a basic way.
This has been used to development the foreign language in different ages students, that means, on primary, secudary and even adult students.
I think it is a good way to teach students and to evaluate them them to see or know in which level they are, so they can continuing working to get to the highest level, in this case the Proficiant level.

Por qué tanta violencia?
La enseñanza durante muchos años fue una gran ayuda para los padres y viceversa; por qué?, porque habían límites, los niños y jóvenes respetaban a sus mayores, ya fueran padres o maestros. Hoy en día, desde muy pequeños cuesta mucho controlarlos, no dicen gracias, no piensan ni siquiera en responder ante un docente, realmente no les importa , les da igual; no tienen valores marcados y los límites muchísimo menos, cuando antes se le daba un respeto tan marcado a los docentes que daba gusto enseñar, porque además de ser estrictos sin recibir críticas o berrinches de malacrianza, se llenaba uno de alegría de ver el esfuerzo de los estudiantes por adquirir conocimientos al fin de cada curso. A los estudiantes difíciles inclusive, uno sentía una gran satisfacción de lo muchísimo que lograban, aún después de las guerras que a veces dan con su poca tolerancia a la frustración o al no puedo uno sentía una gran alegría de ver que sí podían sin necesidad de confrontar fuertemente con ellos.
Enterada la noticia sobre la directora asesinada por un estudiante recientemente, es duro darse cuenta de que no hay control de las actitudes de los estudiantes para con los docentes, que ya los docentes no tienen vos ni voto sin tener que ser criticados o que los padres crean que tienen a sus hijos entre ojos, más bien, se ha creado un nivel de miedo hacia los mismos estudiantes, ya que no tienen límites en la casa y son muchachos agresivos que quieren hacer solo lo que a ellos les parece, lo cual no está correcto. Se debe tratar de enseñar las cosas como siempre se ha hecho con rigidez pero también con mucho amor; y sobre todo con todo el apoyo de los padres, aspecto que se ha ido perdiendo conforme pasa el tiempo ya que se siente que los padres de la última década ahora les tienen miedo a sus hijos y por quedar siempre bien con ellos los defienden y creen tener los mejores hijos del mundo sin ver los defectos y ayudar a corregir los errores; lo cual no ayuda a que los estudiantes tengan respeto por sus docentes y no sepan aceptar críticas que a lo mejor son realmente constructivas para el bien y el futuro de ellos mismos.
No hay escusa alguna para la reacción de este estudiante, si hay algo mal se debe hablar con franqueza y tratar de solucionar las cosas de la mejor manera, no digo que este correcto la burla o el mal trato a los estudiante tampoco; más bien a los adolocentes hay que tratarlos de tú a tú para que ellos sientan confianza y tengan la libertad de poder expresar qué les parece y qué no.
Como docente lo que me queda rescatar es que se debe fomentar mucho más los valores en nuestros estudiantes y demostrar que el enseñar con límites y respeto no quiere decir que somos ogros si no más bien que los aman y respetan como personas, que se quiere que sean muchachos de bien y que se está entregando el futuro de Costa Rica a excelentes trabajadores y personas de bien.
