BROTHERS:

➢ Not priests but dedicated laymen ➢ With lives totally vowed to God ➢ Carrying out God’s work through education in solidarity with one another in community required.

TEACHERS: THE KEY TO EDUCATION (there was a need for teachers)

  • whose whole lives were dedicated to teaching
  • who taught for the love of God and not for monetary gain
  • who were competent and zealous
  • who witnessed to gospel values
  • who put the welfare and salvation of students before their own
  • who could go wherever they were and do whatever was required to make the schools succeed

CHALLENGES IN THE 1 7 TH^ CENTURY

1. Routine cruelty towards children ➢ A pedagogy of “touching hearts” through love, kindness and care 2. Abandonment of children by working parents ➢ Teachers acting in loco parent is from morning till evening 3. Corruption through bad companions and peer pressure ➢ Modeling, character formation 4. Alienation from the Church and ignorance of the faith ➢ Religious instruction and initiation in the Christian life. 5. Inaccessibility of quality education to the lower classes ➢ Quality schools accessible to the poor 6. Lack of trained teachers with altruistic motives ➢ Teacher training and spiritual formation 7. Irrelevant education in poorly run schools

THE JOURNEY OF THE FATHER AND HIS DISCIPLES

  1. Becoming aware of the human and spiritual distress of youth
  2. Contemplating and reflecting on these needs in light of the gospel
  3. Forming a brotherhood devoted to schools for the liberation and salvation of abandoned children
  4. Transforming the Alienation together with XXXXXX
  5. Opening themselves to the power of the Spirit trusting in providence to accomplish God’s work

CHARITY SCHOOLS

➢ Offered terminal primary education in 2-3 years ➢ Classes of 80- 100 ➢ Catechesis was the chief priority ➢ Poorly trained teachers with poor instructional methods ➢ Latin as medium of instruction following the classical tradition ➢ Regular use of humiliation and beatings in place of classroom management

DLS’s OBSERVATIONS

➢ It is only too common for the children of the working class and the poor to allow their children to live on their own, roaming all over as if they had no home. The parents have no concern to send their children to school because they are too poor to pay teachers

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

HUMAN DISTRESS - Poverty, ignorance, parental neglect, lack of employable skills, criminality, violence, social marginalization, no access to relevant quality education SPIRITUAL - Religious ignorance, alienation from God and the Church, vice and immorality, “spiritual death”
