 W06 Feb 12, 2022, Personal Space Differences

 I can vividly remember the school that housed me from 1st  to 6th grade. It's was called "Spain", majestically raised with arches, columns, and a front tower. There were 3 yards, 2 grades sharing each. It was determined that nobody from a different grade can cross without authorization the area that was indicated for him, her, during recreation time. I believe it kept the organization of the local and makes things easier for the teacher to control us. We used to respect the boundaries, it was our space together, outside, but it was funny to see those rebellious from other grades invading. they were immediately noticed since they were bigger. Those were the times nobody was sitting at recreation time. We were running a lot, playing a lot of funny games, especially La Mancha, (the stain) where you need to touch to extend an imaginary stain to the other player. Nobody ever told us of personal space. Do not touch someone because it's the personal space of the person. I would like to know in the places it works like this when it starts to be taught.

In the classroom we had that sits, for two occupants, but in the Lyceum ( 12 years to 17) will be one occupant per unit. That's a different thing. As a student, the place I sat was always my extension, my thing, with all my objects there, and no one can touch or serve them without my permission. And this was the law. Of course, there is always someone indifferent to the law, everywhere. these were my days.

 If I work in São Paulo, Brazil, I will be teaching children who come to school taking several buses or crowded subways before sun raising, facing possible harm in this way to school. This will less motivate them, as I have already seen in the observation class. Classrooms are crowded many times, so it's very difficult to keep the sense of personal space, even if they want to have one.
