College Dom Diogo de Sousa

CDDS is a very bad college. I went there from pre-primary to 6th grade. Many of the teachers are bad. The price is very expensive for what it is. The food (paid separately (around 3 € / day)) is almost every day rice with meat. I do not recommend.

As a former student of this school I say that its operation is horrible. The principals did not impose respect, they caused fear by threatening the students. There are terrible teachers and the workload is intolerable. Ps: one of the directors threatened the students to behave "childbirth in three times" said by Father Candido, "Mr. Araújo was also bad, treating students unfairly!

The rankings school ?! Without a doubt! I point out the rankings, of this supposedly Catholic school, of the archdiocese of Braga: - Rankings in the separation of brothers. If you have a child who is not a good student, Mr. Araujo with a 9th year academic background specializing in Fafe and Father Candido expel the less good student, separating siblings causing psychological disorders in children and parents. Where are the values ​​of Catholicism? Do they talk about family and separate brothers ?! - rankings in students accompanied by psychologists, pedopsiquitras. Nobody acts, because they earn a lot of money with this! - Rankings in the lack of respect for public health. Water from taps and toilets came from a well without controlled water. A shame! Students who caught the bacteria. And we got a notice at home. Everything was under control. Criminals managing the future of men and women in this country. Encouraging corruption. - rankings in schemes. We never received an invoice for school trips or daily transportation. If there is an accident !? Don't parents have a right to know which company takes our children? Do they comply with the law? They refused / invoice me. What values ​​do you pass on to our children !? Because it will be! Are the tours already paid for and Mr. Araujo put money in the dough. -rankings in the difference! I know in the 10th students who failed, but another student accepted the enrollment. What is the criterion !? Failed too? - rankings in the mistreatment of the kids: “donkeys” “jerks“ I break your face in three times ”. - rankings in the mistreatment of teachers, there are no street results. Not caring if you have a family. - show off rankings. Always concerned if someone films a mess. But they don't solve the problems! - delayed rankings: there is no ATM, because it will be. Not to bill! A city school ?! This is the school run by a 9th grade principal, which requires students to have good exam scores, things they never did! It has a specialty made in Fafe How is it possible that a school principal has never taken an exam and runs an institution !? How? And this man separates the brothers by the notes, because he only has one son and does not know the pain of separating children. This we call "catholic" !? - the best in grades, but with explanations that parents pay. If the school was so good, they were not loaded with explanations. Mr. Araujo and Padre Candido who are going to run a public school, where we have students who can't afford an explanation, in which many go to school without breakfast and see the results. If one day the government cuts subsidies at this school, many people will speak! Those who truly love their children do not place them in this institution of ARQUIDIOCESE DE BRAGA, as they do not accept different students. They just want smart! An archaic and inhumane system !!!!

The worst of the worst! They do not look at the means to achieve the ends, in this case rankings! They just want a show-off. An environment of falsehood, hypocrisy, inhumane! Profile of the college Colégio Dom Diogo: to be rich, a good student, or the son of someone with recognition in society. These have immunity! But if we look at the director who decides everything, mr. Araujo, the profile of this gentleman having the 9th and managing millions and treating students as "things" ... A company for formatting students! One year came to my daughter and it was too much! A good student is a good student in any school. An illusion! A disappointment! Good grades are not the result of school but of the explanations that parents pay! It's really worth nothing!

This College goes from bad to worse! But the students do not sleep! To all those students who in the eleventh changed of school in the second period deserve a homage. Because they forced mr. Araújo to go to the rooms to explain that the averages and to ask that they do not leave, a humiliation for this gentleman !!! Nine students at once! And then there was another group. Congratulations boys! Treat your customers well! A school that is not adapted to change (in life will be more settled the one that is apt to change, not the most learned or intelligent) But the students responded to this gentleman, that the exams are worth 30% and what they do in the 10th 11 ° and 12 ° is 70%. It does not concern you just the exams. Mr. Araújo, I advise you to publicize these matters, such as the bacteria in the water, a school that does not have tpa, the lack of invoices for school trips ... so much. If you want to throw money away, put your child in this school. Anyway ... if you want your son at university, do not put them here: he's going to spend money on school, explanations and teens stop having fun. And in the end, those of other schools also enter ...

A real mistake! So after the 10th this school is to forget! A Catholic school that rejects the weak! This is Catholic! Too ugly for this Catholic school to accept only the best. And to be the best what these students go through, they abdicate a lot in this age group that will never come back! Will they be the best in the future?! Are formatted! What is certain is that universities are not interested in the origin of the student, whether he is poor, rich, Portuguese, foreign, whether he came from private or public education. And in the end, the public school student will be just as "a doctor, engineer, teacher, etc." as a student at this school. Make no mistake parents! A director who devalues ​​a garbage man as he said in meetings. An anti-pedagogue! If he himself expels the weak, this Mr. Araújo who does an examination of conscience will have him leave. A very weak director. If the weak are expelled, then let someone more cultured, more pedagogical and more up-to-date be replaced. This school is a school of the past run by a terrible director, with no college degree.

I was a student at Colégio Dom Diogo de Sousa in the seventies. I miss ... the demand and the study ... of the roast chicken on Sunday night ... of the forays to the wine cellar of the superiors ... of the escapes to the Teatro Circo ... of the exciting gambling games between Rooms and Rooms. .of the "war" of the pillows in the dormitories ... the toothpaste in the hair of those fleeing the bath ... the fraternity of colleagues from Alto Minho., the generosity of the people from Trás-os-Montes ... to Narcissa ... the descents to the city ​​... the apples of the Orchard ... Father Elísio in the cafeteria discovering a soup that was not eaten ... Demand and respect prevailed ... It can be said that the College was a school of formation, above all formation of Men. Years later, I went to the cemetery to pay our gratitude to our Director ... there were hundreds of former students present. In recent years, at the initiative of Tó Manel, Frederico, Napoleão and other colleagues, we have tried to relive some of this time that has marked us all ...
