St Josep de Calassanç - Happy Teacher's Day!

Josep de Calassanç was the founder of the first free public school in Europe. It was a revolutionary initiative, as it meant a radical break with the class privileges that kept the masses marginalized and in poverty. He was an educator of the poor, offering education free of charge to all classes of society, without discrimination.

He was an amazing person and he did a great work. Today in the school, we celebrated his day and our teacher's day!

I also want to thank our students, because without them our job would be meaningless, we would not be called teachers. We also have so much to learn from them.

Thank you :)
