School: not in the afternoon and few buses. Downloadable on the student’s skin

The morning after New Year’s Eve, five days after the announced reopening of schools, most Regions realize that an emergency meeting must be called to determine how to bring back students in the classroom. Whenever possible to do so, because the sound announcements of an almost normal January 7 with the face-to-face lessons at school at 50%, they are already a distant memory.

However, there was time to plan the return (safely) and the lessons in presence. Completely dilapidated. So the usual takes the stage passing the ball. The Regions take their revenge on those who had to think about promoting the races of the public transport. Except to note that the participation of students in buses, as stressed by Arrigo Giana, president of Agens, the confederal transport agency, is decidedly less significant than that of the other categories and other travelers. Anyway, those who deal with transport say that what had to be done has been done. It is also the thesis of the ministry led by Paola De Micheli: Metro and bus trips are enough, rather who had to think about hours really staggered, maybe with school admissions even in the afternoon, he didn’t think about it (or didn’t want to think about it). Open sky, I school leaders (and not only them, because unions, teachers and janitors are also on the same line), they argue that doing the afternoon lesson is almost impossible. Outcome? All the weight of the elections that have not been taken by the government to lower, falls on the students.

Therefore, thinking about a return to (almost) normality seems difficult. The minister Lucia azzolina continues repeating: “We cannot give up, always remembering the specific weight that this institution has in the path of every child and boy, of girls and boys, in the life of the country. To take a step back from school is to give up a significant part of our future. ” . That’s why we won’t. “But believing that on January 7 – there are four days left (and there is a Sunday and Epiphany in between) – everything is going well with the 50% of the school population returning to class is more of a profession. of faith. In all this there is also the shame and the caution of the Regions. The Governor of Emilia-Romagna, Stefano Bonaccini, in addition to being president of the State-Regions Conference, he says: “If there is concern about the risk of a boom in infections with the reopening of schools, it would be fair for the government to reconvene us in the next few hours and together we make a decision, of very secular way “. . The governor of Veneto also slows down, Luca zaia– Green light for a 50% refund, only if the conditions are right. Campania has already made it known that the return to classes at 50% will be postponed until the end of the month, the governor of Puglia, Michele EmilianoThink of ad hoc solutions.

And just like the best Italian solutions, we get by. As always, in no particular order. In the middle of yesterday afternoon the Lazio brings out the ability to do two “staggered” inputs in the morning: at 8 and 10. In the afternoon there is no talk, too much resistance even from the trade union front. And as a solution he announces cutting the hours of lessons: no longer 60 minutes, but 45 minutes. Better than nothing.

The scientists’ words are also more than an indication of what the next CTS will decide. Because by order of doctors it is possible to reopen schools only if all of Italy is the red zone. “If everyone really stays home, he says Filippo Anelli – thus reducing pressure on transport and if children cannot join outside, protection systems developed within schools can work. Otherwise, the infections will go up ”. Students attend this blame-the-school game. While waiting to know if they will have to return to class on January 7, they have understood that they are the perfect scapegoats for a country that finds it easier to choose to choose.
