Editorial by Lorenzo Jovanotti Cherubini
When our daughter arrived at the age of the school my wife and we talked and we decided: public school. We could afford to choose from and we have chosen. We thought it was the right thing for her. E 'and our daughter is the person we care about most in the world but is also an Italian girl and Italy has a public school. We knew to put it into a reality problem, but that was the reason for the choice.
Un luogo pubblico, che fosse di sua proprietà in quanto giovane cittadina, che non fosse gestito come un’azienda e che non basasse i suoi principi su una dottrina religiosa per quanto ogni religione venisse accolta. Un luogo pubblico, di tutti e per tutti, scenario di conquiste e di errori, di piccole miserie e di grandi orizzonti, teatro di diversi saperi e di diverse ignoranze. C’è da imparare anche dalle ignoranze, non solo dai saperi selezionati. La scuola è per tutti, deve essere per tutti, è bello che sia così, è una grande conquista avere una scuola pubblica, specialmente quella dell’obbligo.
I've seen countries where the public school is just a word, you are worse off even if a small minority is sitting with the warmth and learn three languages. A need to know three languages \u200b\u200bif you do not know how to talk with a different from you? Our chairman of the board, saying what he said offends million households and thousands of people who devote their time to teach better, with care, with true affection for those kids.
Among the people I know among my relatives were there and there are school teachers, teachers, I have a cousin who is special education teacher at a school in the province. I hear you speak and are not cynics, they do their job with passion a thousand civil difficulty and the majority of public school teachers is so. Why offend them? Why unmotivated? Why use a term like "inculcate"? It 's a bad word about a world that does not exist anymore.
The public school is not in competition with private schools, there is the struggle between RAI and Mediaset, or between two supermarkets to gain an audience or client more, not let's put on this plane ...
The State is a school which is financed by the taxes of the citizens, even those who do not have children and also those who send their children to private school, this is point. It 'an achievement, it's like you get to the tap water: then everyone can buy mineral water they prefer but woe to those who poison the tap water to sell more mineral water.
E 'an achievement of civilization becomes a right when you set out. But it was a right of all children before, only it was conquered, was affirmed. The public school must be defended, edited, improved.
As the idea, and then just as school desks with teachers i ragazzi le lavagne. Bisogna amarla, ed esserne fieri
