A video in which the president of the Campania region, Vincenzo De Luca, jokes about a mother from her territory who, when interviewed by a journalist, tells that her little girl in tears tells her that she wants to go to school and that she regrets having to stay home.
“The boy – says De Luca – explains to the mother that she wants to go to school to learn to write. I think she is the only girl in Italy, in fact the only one in the world, who likes to go to school ”.
It would be very easy to remind De Luca that there are millions of children in the world for whom going to school is a real party, because for them school is the only safe and clean place they have available and, often, it is also the only place place where they can eat a plate of rice.
But let’s leave third world countries alone and talk about things at home.
Perhaps De Luca has never had to deal with real children in the flesh because otherwise he would know that, in general, for children school is not a place of torture at all, but rather a completely unavoidable living space.
And if De Luca spoke to a kindergarten or elementary school teacher, he would discover that children even like to learn.
Many like to learn to draw, sing or somersault, but unfortunately, there are also many who like to learn to write and read.
It would seem that perhaps those who rule the world would also feel comfortable if children did not like learning to read, write and count because, as we know, ruling the ignorant is infinitely easier than ruling conscious citizens.
Perhaps the president of Campania took too much the comic spirit, but if you are really convinced that children do not like going to school, as a man of government you should ask yourself what to do to avoid that school is perceived by children as a place of restriction. .
Fortunately, hundreds of thousands of teachers think every day of making schools spaces for learning but also for “joyful sociability” that, despite everything, make millions of children and adolescents love school and even study.
It is good that De Luca accepts this: in Italian schools there are many teachers who every day try to make their students learn to be citizens, although, unfortunately, there are still many politicians who want them to be subjects.
