An 'interesting reflection of the national Cidi the footsteps of the first written evidence of maturity.
Maturity 2010, the evidence of Italian
Concern and dismay
Some things confounded in these tests of maturity. First
now called the transformation of a test born ten years ago to innovate the practice of writing, irrevocably reduced to a pretentious nonsense on complex issues, sometimes
simply unattainable, conducted from documents whose choice is governed by rules seems unlikely condicio time, gender and now politics. The proposed texts for this year's draft of essay and short newspaper article dealing with important issues and challenging but, once again, the extreme heterogeneity of the sources, the breadth and indeterminacy of space-time locations Cultural and will require a surface treatment, improper combinations if not inappropriate. It 'a highly negative educational impact suggest a culture of chatter from the bar or if you prefer, from talk shows, where everyone says its possible on important issues that do not know anything. What, in fact, put together the Dick, Kant and Hawking to talk about aliens?
This is also the pseudo bar, where we talk about angels and UFOs after seeing some
television. Typically "television" is in fact also the rule of equal conditions for some time that
governs the choice of guests. The problem then is not, as it seemed to some, the theme
on sinkholes, which calls for address a controversial page of national history that has for years been the center of
new attention and recent legislation. If anything, in this sense, it is ludicrous to suspect that a sling by Primo Levi was chosen for the analysis of the text to another with a step of placing
difficult topic (What about that text? What is your thematic focus?) and vaguely irritating
in a country where 43% of people aged between 15 and 29 years (1.2 million) did not even read a book in 2009. But the percentage of graduates of the children with books at home (such as Levi) who have read at least one book is around 73%. Then, in support, some commonplace question inevitably is not a text to "analyze".
The real problem is Mussolini's speech of 3 January 1925
used as a document about the "role of youth in history and politics" and not because of Mussolini. Even here
in the name of a level playing field is with Togliatti, Moro and John Paul II ("a kind of teleology
from evil to good with Moro mediator"!). The problem is that that speech, one of his most
horrific and tragic history of this country, is one with which Mussolini took the political and moral responsibility
Matteotti murder, carry out fascism "superb passion of the best Italian youth" and officially opened the phase of fascism state. That implies two
document advocates crime: fascism and incitement to violence. E 'in this sense
and which has been proposed for this use? So it is not feasible because it can only speak ill,
can not be subject to treatment like any other dialectic. And if any student has sung the praises
? If any student has declared himself in favor? What concerns
open correction and evaluation of that evidence, openly political. And, among other things, it is curious that a Minister who has allowed teachers to talk about the current government because school policy does not suggest to young people dealing with an issue so openly political.
Finally one last observation: it traces "difficult" (particularly for students of technical and professional), if seriously addressed and the same; trivial if approached in a superficial arguments and documents - if they were taken seriously-it thesis degree. This is yet another way to invite the Minister Gelmini to the one for you is the seriousness of the studies or to understand that this is the maturity of high school, while for professional technicians and the case will be thinking about something else!?
This is the final confirmation now that school is not designed to measure students, but the political battle ground for operations and ideological. He had already got wind, but maybe this time he crossed the line. In fact they are not linear tracks and serene for the students, talk to the school because politics - a certain right-wing politics - I mean. They have the objective of evaluating the display capacity, critical sense, knowledge of students in Italian, have other objectives.
symbolic in nature: the substance is already in progress for some time.
