Everyone remembers a teacher who marked his own life. What made it unforgettable? Why was it etched in the memory?

I imagine the biggest reward a teacher can get is finding a former student after many years and hearing something like, "wow, you've made a difference in my life." After all, isn't it the teacher's goal to make a difference to his students? The contents given, for the most part, will be forgotten and perhaps nothing left over the years, except for this mark that the teacher managed to leave.

Asking current teachers about the teachers who marked their lives, everyone had some...

Toys, toys and more toys. Often, say experts, in the eagerto buy the favorite gift, which over the wills and tastes of children, parents forget something that can not be bought, nor translated into numbers: presence.

"We need to look at the amounts that credit card and money don't buy. Gifting is something very beautiful and everyone likes it, but it should not be a priority, much less offered as a replacement for affection and the permanent presence in the lives of sons and daughters," says Ana Abreu, a researcher in education at the Federal University of Alfenas.

The educator argues...

Dr. João Paulo Lotufo, friend and partner of Freemind and ISSUP Brazil, in his column on USP radio, tells us about the danger of electronic cigarettes indoors and warns that young Americans are the ones who consume the most, according to studies, and do not consider this consumption harmful.

But that's not true, since e-cigarette emissions are not harmless and calling them steam is purposely misleading. Although the smoky snags of the electronic cigarette are not exactly smoke, the term steam usually brings to mind an innocuous cloud of water.

A study published in the United States on...
