The story told by the governor of Liguria, Giovanni Toti, who posted on his social channels a photo of a class of students kneeling in the classroom due to lack of desks, caused a stir.
The director’s clarification
On the afternoon of September 14, the same school director from the Castelletto Integral Institute of Genoa intervened to explain everything:
“The school that I have run since September 1 did a great job in the summer months to organize the reopening. Like many other schools, it has faced the difficulties of recent days with a constructive and collaborative spirit: among these difficulties, delays in the delivery of furniture. The desks, ordered well in advance, will arrive tomorrow afternoon and on the first day of school, which was a holiday, we simply avoid putting the old ones back on. The photo portrays children who, during an educational activity, draw serenely in freedom: a device, on the part of the teacher, to make it spin, but wrong and serious to exploit it, exploiting, with it, especially the children, in one day in which we had found only great enthusiasm and no critical problems. In my institute I found trained and motivated teachers, whom I advocate, and children who were smiling and happy to go back to school. This is the image that I carry in my heart from this first day and that I want to stay with the families and the teachers ”.
Toti’s response
Governor Toti then responded to the attacks received later: “SI guess I read the statements of the school principal who admits and justifies the image you saw by saying that it was a game and that the boys were drawing. Unfortunately, however, it is not the only case and I do not think that, looking at the other photos I have, it was a game. We are not the ones who say that the photo is true, it is the school itself that confirms it”Giovanni Toti himself wrote in a later post.
