By Sister Anna Monia Alfieri – We had foreseen it. If you remember, on September 14 the title was: The school in Italy is not broken down for everyone. The public school, which costs 8,500 euros in citizen taxes, excluded the poor and disabled (285,000 disabled without a support teacher). A school broken like a patch: for some on September 14, for others on September 28, for some students it will restart on October 26, perhaps, considering that it is preparing to close again.
In fact, as of Monday, October 26, distance learning will resume for second grade centers. And soon the same fate will run with the other Orders. In Campania, all courses close first, then perhaps on Monday the primary school will be able to restart attendance. Chaos and confusion. The same chaos and confusion that plagued these 200 days. So also the 2020/2021 school year will be lost as it was 2019/2020. The precedent is due to the unexpected Covid, as we were told, this is due to unexpected infections, we are told. But the truth is another: Covid’s mismanagement in the first 200 days and the firm is not going to restart the school and therefore the country. Let’s look, once again, at reality: looking at it allows us to redeem the situation again.
We are obliged to inform, firstly because we cannot allow reality to be distorted, out of a sense of responsibility and above all to give solidarity:
- to all those students who are denied the right to learn for 200 days and for the next 200 days, thus becoming easy prey for the Mafia and the Camorra
- disabled students who live in isolation and are ignored by all
- to parents who are increasingly scared and lonely
- to the teachers and principals of public schools and peer schools who have made enormous sacrifices to restart school, despite the Guidelines
- confused who came from rome
- women who are once again discriminated against, despite filling their mouths with phrases against femicide
Do we really disdain these injustices? Do we really want to solve them? If we want it, we must recognize that they are the consequence of that superficial and approximate attitude that in recent days has eliminated the problem with the joke of the benches with wheels to mask the sad reality.
Through hundreds of hours of live coverage, press releases, through the involvement of the associative and union world as well as all the newspapers, with the widest civil and social as well as political convergence (how can we forget the real availability opposition with some sensitive forces within the Government, from Pd-a IV, from Leu to some pentastelado dissidents) we represent that the only solution was to initiate a healthy process of collaboration between state public schools and peer public schools, both necessary for the state to allow all 8 million students to return to class safely.
1. We have provided studies, research and scientific articles that illustrated the need to review the financing lines of the school system in Italy after the Covid emergency. The concept was (and remains): if the public school that costs 8,500 euros is not restarted, but the same school that costs 3,500 to 5,500 euros, it is clear that there is a waste that does not serve to pay for the structures and personnel that it lacks.
2. We had also proposed agreements between 40,000 public schools and 12,000 peer schools to overcome the three major structural problems: lack of classrooms, staff and transportation. The school would restart, the students would have a chance, the state coffers would be saved.
3. Again: we have pointed out (and on this front there are also numerous interventions in favor of the opposition and representatives of civil society) that it was necessary to initiate a collaboration between public and private means of transport (helping this sector affected by the stoppage of tourism). An operation that would have allowed social distancing and therefore prevented infections. Nothing: we prefer to crowd the children on the buses, infect them and thus, with the excuse of the pandemic curve, the schools could have been closed. We know very dangerous realities because they produce thinking minds, weapons of mass destruction of ideology.
Therefore, informing becomes an obligation. Schools are safe environments, the word of doctors and experts; We, however, by absurd ideology, infect our young people on buses. Grandparents fall ill and then reopen resuscitations. And now, after the theater of the wheel benches, it is thought to confuse the Italians with the other theater, that of the Government that fights with the regions. That’s enough!
We know well that the risk is not only DAD but that, even after the vaccine, school will be a privilege and we will be used to it, because we will all be poorer and more tired.
Consequence: educational monopoly and welfare will go hand in hand. Today we can and must report so as not to waste Ms. Segre’s civic commitment. We write it: Senator Segre, May you receive the “Responsible Appreciation” from the grandchildren of your colleagues. Once again, that feeling of loss arises that little Liliana felt, loved so much by all, that she was suddenly excluded from school. Even today, after so many years, the reasons are not explained as well as the indifference of the colleagues (about 25 remember) who did not notice that the desk remained empty. None of his classmates wondered: “Where did Liliana go?” And the teacher who says goodbye to her with a terrible sentence: “I did not make the racial laws.” Why can’t I go to school anymore? Why did that good Milanese public school expel me? Her father and grandparents struggle to explain that it is due to some anti-Jewish laws.
For this to stop happening, we must not underestimate what is happening today and hope that the only solutions that can be put in place without childish and sterile excuses will be implemented. This is what President Mattarella asked: “The regular reopening of the Schools is a primary objective to be built in a climate that I hope for collaboration and sharing”; These words are perfect here in which they are spoken today: «One risk that we cannot run is that the inequalities between territories in our country are added to those derived from the effects of the pandemic.
Even looking beyond the emergency, any sustainable growth and restart project inevitably involves the capacity of each institution to innovate and embark on virtuous paths and, at the same time, the capacity of the system to offer opportunities to those who have them today. less, to intervene in environmental imbalances and territorial inequalities ”.
A call in perfect harmony with that of Pope Francis who, in his speech on the Global Education Pact, pointed out the need for “the full participation of girls and boys in education”, who are often on the fringes of educational paths and that in this period characterized by the pandemic risk being the predominant part of the “almost 10 million minors”, so much so that there is talk of an “educational catastrophe” that “they could be forced to leave school due to the economic crisis generated “. of the coronavirus ”, after the use of distance education“ has shown a marked disparity in educational and technological opportunities ”. Therefore, it is essential “to see the family as the first and indispensable educator”.
