Speaking of the school day by one like me that the school has spent thirty years of his life, means to take a dip in the past. It means to bring to mind the student demonstrations that gave rise to the '68.
But it was the '78 that started this downward trend that began in protest of the school and continued success in jobs, especially in factories.
Undoubtedly though, the spark that lit the fuse of those years darted in the 60s with the first student protests.
This is clearly a journalist in an interview 88 of the Corriere della Sera, Michele Brambilla, author of two books related to those years, "The Eskimo in the newsroom" and "Ten years of illusions."
When asked why the Italian Sixty lasted ten years, while elsewhere it is completed in a few months, Brambilla said
"Why in Italy there is the bad habit of not dealing with problems. Faced with the demands - of the students before and after the workers - the institutions did not give answers, but merely, as always, waiting for the excitement runs out for themselves. This trend, unfortunately, is still there. When he began Tangentopoli, i giornalisti, e in generale l'opinione pubblica, pensavano si trattasse di qualcosa di molto più incisivo della solita inchiesta sulla corruzione. I politici invece - sia a Roma che a Milano - consideravano l'azione del pool "Mani pulite" come un fenomeno provvisorio, ed erano convinti che Di Pietro sarebbe finito a dirigere il traffico a Gallarate. Nel '68 la classe politica commise lo stesso errore: lasciò che le cose decantassero, e rinviò ogni decisione sia sull'organizzazione degli studi sia sulle modifiche salariali. La situazione, come sappiamo, non decantò, ma si incattivì e degenerò. In Francia, De Gaulle ascoltò da subito studenti e operai, concedendo loro quanto possibile; poi, dinanzi a richieste excessive and violent methods, he answered with a resolute gesture. This is not to say that I would have liked to see the tanks in the streets of Italy. I'm just saying that if he had known the political class say yes and no at the appropriate time, things would have been different. "
Rereading the interview today I posed the question: "How different is the political condition today, and the school, as has retentions from that experience?"
Perhaps it is too early to identify similarities with what is happening for some time now in school today, however, one can not but notice the similarities extraordinarily protest of 2008 with that of 1968. A protest that
currently involves students from primary schools right up to university. The Minister Maria Stella Gelmini, you start to impose, by a decree, the reform school as she would have conceived this and did not like the parents of the students in compulsory education, let alone high school students and universities, though aware that a reform is necessary.
All without any discussion with the schools involved, but accompanied by a significant reduction in funds for education and research.
wonder that the protest is gradually becoming increasingly heated tone, it means closing our eyes to the inevitability the protest by a sector, Public Education, for which he packed Gelmini a reform proposal that provides for a reduction of funds allocated to it by about eight billion euro by 2010.
The school must communicate knowledge, shall enable research, which are grossly inadequate sums already allocated, to carry out the work which is intended in favor of the community, therefore, of the country.
But to do this because it is wise to maintain, if not reduced to subsistence level wages is that the technical facilities and logistics required for a modern school?
It 'true that 93 universities in Italy are really too many and a source of wasting, in fact, Professor Enrico Bellone, Professor of History of Science and Techniques at the University of Milan, has not hesitated to denounce this anomaly and, during a debate last Friday, October 24 in Alexandria, claimed to have been invited to open a new campus with only four members.
Here then is that when we speak of reform, we must also put into consideration the waste caused by those who manage politics in school and out, as much as right to left so much patronage to conceive the kind of nonsense ... or no?
