430. The dark path from childhood in Portugal (Part 1)

Last week was notorious for Portugal to become a country where there are children who commit suicide are victims of Bullyng in school.
Unfortunately, the degradation of living conditions of the working population, subject to all sorts of social humiliation, either in industrial relations or the relations of social integration has dramatically complicated because the family monitoring their children's education.
Increasingly witnessing the closure of a whole range of social supports neighborhood that marked the quiet environment of small rural and urban environments. The policy of strangulation of public services provided to more remote from major media centers, made ​​by past governments, has increasingly worsened the living conditions of the overwhelming majority of the population of these areas is increasingly unprotected access to essential supplies, including to health care.
The deregulation of labor laws throw the overwhelming majority of the working classes to work schedules completely inappropriate to the educational support of children; the closure of thousands of primary schools and the concentration of hundreds of children and young people in larger school environments severely depersonalized relationship closeness between teachers and students; extending completely atrocious school hours does not translate accurately any benefit for healthy children and young people, education for health care simply does not exist in the overwhelming majority of schools, the attendance of children and youth with educational needs has been severely curtailed by recent governments.
All this reflects negatively on the personality of children and youth, today more than ever just to learn authentic machines, even though they have no capacity to do so.
The irrational disarray of basic education in the country then, no one actually knows what the capabilities that a young person should acquire by the end of his academic training and is a symptom that illustrates the dark path taken by the current rulers.

In the context of oral health there is no control of the situation and the overwhelming majority of children and young people are never examined and properly treated throughout their school life, with appropriate consequences for the rest of his life.
In a country where many thousands annually spend billions of euros in investment return highly doubtful, the primary care of children and young people are neglected by purely educational system.
All these dramas illustrate the role and incompetence of politicians who have ruled the country since April 25, 1974.
