A report called PISA must necessarily come out awry, and yet, as our authorities They use many euphemisms to evaluate the results, I’ll summarize it for you: Catalan children are increasingly stupid. It was obvious, but it is good that it is confirmed by a study prepared by experts, just in case there are any doubts. The poor children are not to blame, all children are born without knowing anything, and it is the job of the adults to teach them, something that until now, for better or worse, the school did. Neither do the teachers, who do what they can. It has a educational system, created by ignorant politicians and reinforced by overprotective parents, that rewards effort and indolence equally.
The results in Catalonia have been among the worst in Spain – which is saying something, since Spain’s are among the worst in the OECD -, especially in mathematics and reading comprehension. Far from being a failure, it should be considered a success of the Governet, since it is the first step to turn Catalonia into southern Denmark that the ‘procés’ promised: Catalan students already have the same level of reading comprehension when faced with a text in Catalan or Spanish, as Danish schoolchildren when faced with the same text. Matching them in mathematics is going to be more difficult, for now we are satisfied having managed that, faced with a paragraph in Catalan of Josep Pla, a kid from Copenhagen and one from Girona make the same face of incomprehension.
It has not been easy to reach this goal, the public authorities have worked hard. Ernest, For example, he started school in a public school. As the courses went by, we were surprised that He was almost eight years old and they had not yet taught him how to multiply. One day we asked him what he had done at school.
-We have dedicated the day to paint a mandala.
How beautiful. At such a tender age, Ernest already knew how to do things that I have never done, I don’t even know what a mandala is. My wife, on the other hand, almost had a fit, the very old-fashioned one does not know that The future belongs to mandalas, because mathematics, geography and spelling are of no use, that with mandalas all doors open to one. Another mother, who, being Russian, must have been used to five-year study plans and no jokes, He asked the center management why his child was not learning.
-The thing is Here we prioritize children being happy.

Let’s finish, it’s about happiness. Thanks to these study methods, Catalan schoolchildren are the happiest. The most ignorant too, but that doesn’t matter. We changed Ernest’s school, of course. Now paying, of course. I listened to my wife instead of the Governet’s educational policy, perhaps because she is the one who sleeps with me and not the Minister of Education. Sometimes I regret having given in, having put family before Catalonia, surely Danish children don’t know how to paint mandalas, we were finally going to surpass them.
The Generalitat attributed the results of the PISA report to the excess of immigrants in the tests, it could be that immigrants are more idiots than natives, although looking at our politicians, all of them native, it seems impossible to me. That’s not the problem, The problem is that the PISA tests are poorly done. If they consisted of painting mandalas, Catalonia would be the leader. Instead, they put schoolchildren in situations as dramatic and stressful as knowing math and understanding what they read. There is no way like that.
