We have already spoken of employment Liceo Scientifico di Villafranca, as you may recall, in an article published a few days ago ( Liceo Scientifico di Villafranca: what it will mean "take"? ). In these days of hectic developments, marked by a succession of events, from the clash in Piazza Navona the statement by the Minister Maroni to the organization in the new national event for November 14, 2008, around the high school come to life debate, often characterized by bright tones. And while the students try to continue their employment with the right idea study, there are those who see the events of recent days with a view close to that of our students, but different. Just to be able to observe 360 \u200b\u200b° the difficult subject of "occupation" , we publish today a letter sent to us by Professor Bacci Claudia, a teacher of history and philosophy at the Liceo Scientifico di Villafranca. Why discussion and debate, in compliance with the principles of democracy and freedom of expression which we head - and we'd like a state that also was the lead feel less and less "representative" to us -, are allowed at all. And because the words that follow are very interesting, and help us Hoop an overview of the protest that we want to start. Here is the letter to you:
open letter to students and students of 'ISS "Da Vinci"
I decided to intervene in this space your , after yet another discussion on family student protests in recent days they have been so apostrophe "We can not stop us feel, just because the decree 137 was approved, we must continue to express our dissent and to be visible, we can only form of employment school "reasons that I find, moreover, also spelled out in your blog about" Liceo scientifico di Villafranca: what it means to look after? ".
I will try to show how this kind of argument, not only undermines good results and the consensus reached so far out of your protest, but it can even lead to a kind of "heterogenesis of purpose" in actions that tend to discredit them, bringing grist to the mill of those who these days is demolishing public education.
I know that the word "employment" for you is highly suggestive and full of symbolic meanings, is strongly linked to the idea of \u200b\u200ba space where there is possession and self-managed, a free space where your creativity, sometimes compressed in the rigidity of the curriculum. But young people who have demonstrated responsibility in leading a protest in a civilized manner, they must have the ability to consider other aspects of the problem and the negative impact it could have, (and not only in criminal terms) than the consensus of much of world students, teachers and parents that have so far been crucial in order to create a truly effective united front against the fire which is burning in public schools. . The success of this alliance we have seen across the rest of the big event of October 30, certainly the largest demonstration in defense of the school of republican
far have shown that students who know what it means to be a culture of legality. Students are fully covered in the educational objectives of the programming languages \u200b\u200bof your school Each action was carried out in accordance with the rules, demanding the due authorization, disseminating the correct information at all, allowing those who did not agree with you to continue your school work you have dedicated commitment and sacrifice of free time, including holidays, to the preparation of the great event last Monday, which happened in terms of consensus and participation is documented by the images shown here. The very creation of an area like this, so important to be able to express their views and compare it with others, is a clear testimony of what I'm saying. Then I will not dwell on the usefulness of the work of disseminating information on issues that are concerning you, such as schools and universities, but also how they are made of the information. Thereby demonstrating that the much insulted public school has given you the tools of criticism and analysis needed to understand the world, especially proven to be not just aggregates (tele) spectators of events, but active citizens who know how outraged the face of injustice. In the "Republic" of Plato citizens who possessed a soul was irascible and disdained those who fought for what reason thought was right. Well, I ask you now to appeal to the rational soul that knows how to evaluate how to continue a protest just as effective as possible.
I know that the Minister Gelmini and Parliament have not the slightest view of the high expression of democratic dissent that in these days has crossed the country, pursuing Only the stubborn logic of the cuts, showing only the short-sightedness of those who can not look to the future, and that of their children. However, from this closure and persistence, you need to rethink a new strategy of your disagreement, such as places and spaces to be chosen to make it as clear and loud as possible. Should make an effort, even escaping from the usual places, the choices that most reckless daring. "Busy, Busy" is a slogan often empty of content , much also advocated so-called "Fancazzisti" (I use the jargon so you understand me now) but the first difficulty is ready to download on other responsibilities of decisions to which they are simply queued. "
The real courage today is manifested not be imprisoned within the walls of schools, with a defense to the bitter end, but a sterile gesture between the heroic obstinacy, but rather in opening to civil society, to live in the sleepy company Lunigiana (which also will be deeply touched by the "rationalization" of the school network in terms of lost jobs) the value and importance of training and research.
I suggest you make contact with various representatives of local institutions (municipalities, mountain communities, the Province) to pass resolutions in favor of your protest together and find new forms to make it more visible (public spaces, open spaces, gathering signatures for appeals, debates with your presence, petitions with banquets etc.).
sure that you are interested even inside the school, as suggested in the blog, keep alive the debate and take the opportunity to allow your protagonist to propose topics for further investigation and discussion of selected directly from you. I think that presenting a concrete proposal that does not impede the orderly conduct of classes, there is the availability of some teachers to give support and cooperation. How can a teacher deny the request to know if they are well motivated and reasoned? It 's like a doctor facing a patient dying, refused to bring help with his science.
I ask you to work in this direction and find a way to correct the decisions taken perhaps a bit 'too much in the wake of an uncritical enthusiasm. Only if the need for culture and education, worthy of a civilized country, become a kind of need "primary" and as such felt by all, you can have hope to change something, as indeed has recently called for the President Napolitano.
Prof. Claudia Bacci
I n waiting for a future forum.
