By the 1840s, convent narratives gained more middle-class, respectable readers, moving away from descriptions of sex and sadism and focusing instead on convent schools and the education of young women. Popular works such as Protestant Girl in a French Nunnery described "tricks" used by nuns to convert female pupils and lure them into convents. Such literature warned that as neither wives nor mothers, nuns could not train the right kind of women for America. The focus on convent schools converged with the common or public school movement. At the same time, teaching became an acceptable occupation for women, prompting more women to seek opportunities for higher education. This chapter compares the approach to education among nuns and other female teachers alongside the caricatures of convent schools in anti-Catholic print culture. I seek to answer why convent schools faced such heightened animosity even as teaching became feminized.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims at assessing the normative need for orthodontic treatment and the factors that determine the subjective impact of malocclusion on 12-year-old Brazilian school children. METHODS: A total of 451 subjects (215 males and 236 females) were randomly selected from private and public schools of Juiz de Fora, Brazil. The collected data included sociodemographic information and occlusal conditions. The esthetic subjective impact of malocclusion was assessed by means of the Orthodontic Aesthetic Subjective Impact Score - OASIS, whereas the malocclusion and the need for orthodontic treatment were assessed by means of the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) and the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need-Aesthetic Component (IOTN-AC). RESULTS: Prevalence of normative need for orthodontic treatment was 65.6% (n = 155), and prevalence of orthodontic esthetic subjective impact was 14.9%. The following variables showed significant association with esthetic subjective impact of malocclusion: female (p = 0.042; OR = 0.5; CI = 0.2-0.9), public school student (p = 0.002; OR = 6.8; CI = 1.9-23.8), maxillary overjet ≥ 4 mm (p = 0.037; OR = 1.7; CI = 1-3) and gingival smile ≥ 4 mm (p = 0.008; OR = 3.4; CI = 1.3-8.8). CONCLUSION: The normative need for orthodontic treatment overestimated the perceived need. Occlusal and sociocultural factors influenced the dissatisfaction of schoolchildren with their dentofacial appearance.

RESUMEN En el presente artículo se exponen los resultados y conclusiones de un estudio realizado, utilizando la técnica de Grupos de Discusión, sobre los roles y funciones que desempeñan los orientadores que realizan su labor en Centros de Educación Secundaria, tanto públicos como privados, de Huelva y su provincia. El objetivo perseguido era analizar la actuación profesional de los orientadores en los Institutos de Educación Secundaria de Huelva y su provincia. Dados los objetivos del estudio se decidió la utilización de la técnica del Grupo de Discusión. Participaron 34 orientadores distribuidos en cinco grupos, cuatro formados por orientadores que trabajaban en Centros Públicos y uno por orientadores de Centros Privados Concertados, que contaron entre cinco y nueve participantes. En este estudio, se presentan el proceso del análisis realizado, los resultados más destacados de la investigación, así como las conclusiones a las que se llegaron. Entre las conclusiones a destacar encontramos: a)  La acción orientadora está excesivamente mediatizada por la “sensibilidad” del Equipo Directivo del Centro. b)  Las funciones más desarrolladas por los orientadores son las comprendidas en el asesoramiento y consulta, seguidas de orientación, evaluación y coordinación. c)  La problemática cotidiana que encuentran los orientadores en el desempeño de su trabajo es muy variada. d)  Es necesario aclarar, delimitar y concretar las funciones que deben desempeñar los orienta‐ dores. e)  A pesar de que los orientadores reconocen las ventajas de trabajar mediante un modelo de programas se ven obligados a tener que hacerlo a demanda y sometidos a la fuerte presión del día a día. f)  Debido a la poca definición de sus funciones, la realización de éstas está excesivamente influenciada por las características personales del orientador.ABSTRACT The following paper exposes the results and conclusions of a study where the technique of Focus Groups about roles and duties of Highschool Counsellors in both private and public school of Huelva and it’s province, are done.
