The right kind of education begins with the educator.Jiddu KrishnamurtiSCHOOL IS COOL

In the current context, in many countries, the present pedagogical model is focused on the teacher, it is one way and uniform, isolating the student in his/ her learning process.1 Therefore, it is very important to know what the process of rethinking the educational model requires so that school might become a wonderful experience and the dropout, a myth. At page 249, the author of the book Growing Up Digital, inspires us with the 2.0 school model, whose characteristics are: replacing the teachers monologue and lectures with the students team spirit and participation in discovering information, adapting education to the individual learning style and pace of each student and creating personalized learning programs, anchoring education in the daily reality, in the learner's interest which, in these circumstances, gives achievement a real sense, the valorisation of the critical thinking model, of synthesis and understanding the relationships among things. The teacher may become fascinating, testing the students skills and not their weaknesses, helping them regain their own nobility. The above-mentioned study has become a living resource for some teachers in understanding the complex phenomenon of school dropout. Carl Rogers mentions the real nature of the teacher - person, not a sterile line used to transmit knowledge2 and the significant learning which involves a positive attitude, congruence, empathy and acceptance from the teacher, in the event-book On Becoming a Person, another resource-study for teachers development and understanding of early school leaving. Three-fourths of the people you will meet tomorrow are hungering and thirsting for sympathy. Give it to them, and they will love you (.). It is one of the principles of success. Show understanding of the others ideas and desires.3, suggests Dale Carnegie. The idea is supported by Dr. Kevin Leman: The most common thing I have heard from teenagers is that their parents do not understand them4. The interventions for preventing and eradicating school and family dropout must be under the active attention of those responsible for the physical, emotional and intellectual safety of children under this risk: family, school, community. Thus, as prevention methods, we have considered the following: the weekly monitoring of students absences, identifying the main causes that contributed to the high number of unexcused absences and dropout situations, discussing that particular case in private and looking together with the involved persons for solutions to prevent the recurrence of the incident, cooperation with parents and their involvement in educational projects ( for example, Lessons for parents, in cooperation with the school counselling service), maintaining an atmosphere in the classroom to satisfy all students' need for emotional safety, the use of attractive, interactive teaching and learning strategies, avoiding labelling, exclusion of those in question, their involvement in various extracurricular activities to maintain their academic motivation. In one of the activities of an antidrug education project Praf n ochi (Dust in the eyes), on the International Children's Day, the students distributed to the people in Bacu 1,500 newspapers containing, according to their suggestion, articles about childrens rights and drug effects. In addition, students involved in the project discussed with members of the local community about defining the current profile of the educational actors: students, teachers, parents. The interaction results will be used during counselling classes or meetings of the School Students' Council. If we get them involved in social projects, their life will gain a new sense5, Augusto Cury emphasizes the idea. A special place in this series of activities was held by the setting up of the personal development club "Human Design", an inspired opportunity for teenagers' knowledge and self-knowledge based on a modern, practical and needs-based theme: Who am I?, The map of personal development, Quality decisions, Personal aims, The inner why, Experiential learning. The lesson learned from each school or life situation can keep us motivated for a long time, it can show us the way. With this conviction I got students with special needs mentally and emotionally involved, being aware that an educational process adapted to the dominant personal learning style, as well as a quality prioritizing of information students are taught, according to its utility and applicability, lead to decreasing juvenile delinquency and school dropout, increasing teenagers educational propensity.The Art-therapy workshop is another example of good practice in involving students with high absenteeism. This means involving students life skills (communication, life problems solving, setting goals and a healthy life style, active learning), using various therapy forms (through literature, dance, music, occupational therapy, recreational therapy). A valuable example is the participation in the project mpreun gndim viitorul (Together We Are Thinking the Future), (11 workshops, 2 outdoors activities, 2 activities which promote volunteering) co-financed by a grant from Switzerland through the Swiss Contribution to the enlarged European Union, under implementation during the period 01.09.2013 30.09.2014. It is good to feel and be a fascinating teacher, in Augusto Cury's terms, by interrogative exposure, by humanizing knowledge, by the journey to the deep self, by entering the mood of emotion sculptor. It is our Dreams school which will give birth to fascinating students, who will realize in time that they are loved and accepted for what they really are, some teenagers looking for their own self. These students should be taught to think, to confront themselves, to effectively manage conflict situations in the classroom. This is how true educational moments occur. Effective class management also involves teachers and students stress prevention, shortening control time for deviant behaviours, administrating a forum for parents (on the school site), good knowledge of pupils, positive interaction and discipline. In this respect, we read the positive discipline guide from the project Schimbri mici, diferene mari!, (Small changes, big differences!), included in the Swiss-Romanian Cooperation Programme. A fundamental model for this group of students is represented by their very colleagues, constituted in School Students Council. It is not by chance that in one of its meetings, when answering a questionnaire related to needs prioritization, the students leading choices were the following: 1. People should treat me fairly2. I should understand the use of what I learn3. I should show who I am 4. I should not be ignorant 5. I should rely on my friends In-service training courses also allow teachers to exploit the proactive measures system to prevent school dropout and increase school performance. Two examples are relevant:1.The programme MATRA 06/RM/9/1,6 dedicated to preventing juvenile delinquency in integrated education in schools and in their vicinity, by launching a contest on the attendance record, rewarded by a merits certificate and by creating an exclusive club for those with 100% attendance, who may be part of an advisory council meant to improve comfort at school. 2.The in-service training course More attractive class lessons. Therapeutic-educational stories for students (Lecii mai atractive n clas.Poveti terapeutic educative pentru elevi), by raising awareness about the therapeutic meaning of the fairy tale, given that students need to feel understood, to discover their authentic selves. The fear of being rejected or the unwanted child parable can be found, for example, in Povestea fetiei creia i era foarte fric de abandon7 (Le conte de la petite fille qui avait une trs grande peur d'tre abandonee), written by J. Salome. This fear turned into an emotional wound, which has significantly decreased the childs self-esteem, marginalizing her. Another interesting approach, mentioned in the in-service training course Strategii de marketing la clas (Marketing Strategies in the Classroom), was exploited by turning the following concepts into experience: AIDA principle (attention, interest, desire, action), typology of the students market, the state of the student's demand, classroom negotiation, buying / bidding process, tired brands, polaroid lesson. Awakening their attention and keep their interest, using an appropriate influential language, adapting yourself to their needs and discovering their motivational pattern means for children at risk of dropping out "understanding, power of patience and love8".
