There are no teachers, parents on strike in a class in Florence: “We no longer send children to school.” The director: “Coming soon”

“We no longer send the children to school.” Protest with a resounding blow from the lessons is a group of parents of the comprehensive institute “Compagni Carducci” of Florence. In front of staff shortage, mothers and fathers have chosen to be heard and send a message to the competent bodies. A demanding choice, but in her opinion it was made necessary by a situation that has become unsustainable: since the beginning of the school year, in fact, children go to the classroom alone. three hours a day. To organize the strike is primarily a class from the lower secondary school “Dino Compagni” which is part of the general school.

Parents no longer want to know they don’t have a teacher in the classroom mathematics and that of support for. Almost a month after the reboot they believe the ministry should have done much more to secure the necessary teachers from September 14. Mothers and fathers have been patient for a few weeks, convinced that sooner or later all the staff will arrive, but as we know appointments are delayed again this year and science subject teachers they are often not available. Parents do not want to passively accept this situation: “The school – they explained Firenze today – it took us months to get organized, we reopened even before regional calendar and then don’t keep it open for more than three hours a day for lack of teachers“.

Groping to appease the controversy thinks the manager in the regency Maria Centoze: “Of twenty-five kinds of high school only one still has problems because there is no math teacher. We will try to offer children and parents the best teacher that can exist. It is right for mothers and fathers to protest and voice their grievances, but we must take into account the fact that we start in a completely extraordinary situation. Executives have even given up holidays work with a view to starting over in the best way possible. “And on the subject of just three hours of class a day, Centoze explains: caution. It would not have been wise to reset them all with the full schedule. What matters is the quality of the lessons, not the quantity. In any case, as of this week we have gone from three to four hours of lessons. We are monitoring the situation and with the last appointments we will go soon regime”.

Words that do not satisfy parents, who have decided not to send their children back to school until all the teachers are there: “It must be said – specifies the principal – that some mothers and fathers have written to me to disengage from initiative taken. In any case, there is always room for improvement. And it is legitimate that they ask the most of the educational institution that until now has done everything possible to accommodate all the beyond. thousand students to understand ensure safety “.
