Pedro Assaad said that he attributed the criticisms he received to reasons he considered both just and unjust. As just reasons, he mentioned insensitive and impulsive statements he had made in the past, as well as arrogance and having thanked for colonization when, as he explained, he intended to refer to the fact that he is Catholic. He stated that he became more empathetic and calm after becoming a father of three children, two of whom are girls. Among the reasons he deemed unjust, he cited envy and petty criticism. Assaad claimed that he had dominated the ENEM niche in six years and that his results tripled each year, in an exponential curve. He also said that he had no degree or teaching certification, but he considered his teaching methodology and communication and teaching skills exceptional. He stated that he acknowledged his own mistakes and inconsistencies and that, although he had said inappropriate things, he had never harmed anyone. He also said he intended to continue working and that he had raised the standard of quality, technology, connection, and teaching methods in the ENEM market, increasing competitiveness among courses and teachers. According to Assaad, the students were the primary beneficiaries, and he would continue trying to correct flaws in his personality. #autoconhecimento #empatia #educação (translated)
