The article addresses the disorganization that characterizes the back-to-school period in Portugal. The author argues that, year after year, this period is marked by confusion and logistical problems that affect students, parents, and teachers.
According to the text, this situation has been repeating itself consistently, creating a pattern of poor functioning that seems to already be accepted as normal. However, the writer argues that it is not acceptable that this should be so.
The author also highlights that, beyond the practical inconveniences, there is a pedagogical dimension to this disorganization. The back-to-school period represents an opportunity to transmit values such as organization and preparation, which are fundamental in students' education.
It is concluded that, regardless of the logistical difficulties that may exist, it is essential that schools and those responsible find ways to ensure a more structured and orderly start to the school year.
