A Viking Longship Labeled




Paola Silimbani (President of Cidi Forlì)


the train of desires
The school is divided. ... on a moving train THAT WILL NOT KNOW WHERE '.
The problem is that absolutely must get on this train, because the urgency of change can not wait, but you, professor, you feel like if you were asked to obliterate at least 10 tickets to an unknown destination by the specter of losing your luggage.
Why? It is recognized in the provisions on ministerial school 's intention to answer the needs that the school should become more serious (compulsory education, debts, conduct, promotion of excellence, citizenship and the Constitution). Important objectives that we attract teachers to a commitment to joint planning and rigorous planning, (a Copernican revolution in higher education has always been self-teaching at the level of the individual) but if this is not supported by a research direction related to the new environment education is played out in teaching - Learning, reform is likely to remain once the formal operation and, for that matter, not knowing which way to go (.... The destination of the train, at last!).
The idea of \u200b\u200bthe reorganization, that is to bring order where order does not then there is not at all reassuring, because this is not necessarily prefigures the school of tomorrow. The risk is that we are required a great effort to put on paper the projection of a school that does not intercept the trajectory of the real problems, although it is true that the Lisbon Europe ahead at the last stop for a school of quality and competitive.
Maybe we need to be clear about what we mean by seriously. I think a school can respond to the problems that the class puts us every day, especially in the educational aspects of a complex report that compares with the new frontiers of an adolescence that displaces, that seems more than capable but illiterate to get by us as adults to use the new language, which hides fragility disconcerting and feels the school as a tangent to its path. What answers, then give to a school for everyone, including disabled people and foreigners?
Meanwhile the school year began without leaders, the regencies and more schools seem to be the answer to efficiency, burst classes of pupils, monitored as foreigners, savings on support, on the precarious brink of war (the only solution for us teachers to protest and refuse to take school trips), the cards are stacked in the bureaucracy from the various school offices.
But the most surreal of the new "order" as envisaged by the reform is the time: Great idea! "Less hours but more depth: 60-hour discounts of 50 minutes and nothing. I will simply two examples:
who had a hand in the plans a little time 'cross-eyed, with a careful eye to the first class did not bother to rebalance the distribution of teaching resources and disciplines for example in classes according to the branch Commercial Students have 7 hours of science?!? Fortunately, there is flexibility regarding hours and a lot of creativity in the organizational skills of teachers.
dallla 8 to 14: there is a student in the district to arrive at school on time, buses are unable to meet any school, families are angry because they spend good money in subscriptions and the service is so poor.
We can only hope that the train will take us to, it would be enough at the end of this school year.
