Piedmont, the school and the country’s thermometer

Latest news from the craziest school in the world. Piedmont is the first region that does not trust parents and hopes that write the child’s body temperature in the journal. Others will follow, you’ll see. Preventing the spill in families was a strange trick. It was enough to buy thermo scanners instead of benches with wheels, to be able to measure fever where it should be done: at the entrance of the school, instead of leaving the house. But who wrote the rules will have any idea how the awakening of Italian families occurs? We are not in the Mulino Bianco hamlet, but in a chaotic place, populated by sleepy and perpetually late-night people who huddle around the coffee pot and walk in and out of the bathroom, arguing over priorities. In this atmosphere reminiscent of the bloodiest circles in Hell, should everyone work out five minutes of serenity to put thermometers under each other’s armpits? Dear grace, whoever sees your child crawl with bright eyes and the beginning of bronchitis will do so. The others will not give a damn, willing to swear, in case of contagion, that the baby was wonderful at home and without a doubt it was infected in the classroom.

The mediocracy that governs us knows this, but it doesn’t matter much to them. The only thing that interests her is not to solve the problem, but to put the responsibility on someone else, because her guideline has always been to put herself in a position to be able to say, “It was not my responsibility.”
