“The The photo shows children who, during an educational activity, draw serenely in freedom.: naivety, on the part of the teacher, to make it work, but wrong and seriously exploit it, exploiting, with her, especially the children, in a day in which we had only found great enthusiasm and not critical questions ”. explains the director of IC Castelletto, prof. Renzo ronconi about the controversy that has erupted in these hours about the photo that portrays the children kneeling in front of their chairs in a classroom without desks.

“The school that I have been managing since September 1 – he adds – 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 ”.

“In my Institute – he concludes – I have found trained and motivated teachers, whom I defend, and children who are smiling and happy to return to school. That is the image that I carry in my heart from this first day and that I want to stay with families and teachers ”.
