Life on the last page 45 about the vote in an operation conducted by prof. Peter Barcelona (read here and here ) has not left me indifferent. It deserves an answer as piccata and violent. But to debate (ie "make war") is not required. Really I would not have wanted to meet in my life as a student, a professor so violent, and altogether so inconsistent in the proposals. The idea that the biggest fires and those who criticize the most violently is better, is quite similar to that of the children show their attributes to their buddies to prove your superiority.
I always thought, for education (alas) Catholic, that the world has come to change one piece at a time, and that if I bend to pick up a piece of paper on the floor in the hallway of the university, some students may begin to do so with me, and in some years, or centuries, the hall will be cleaned.
In the breakdown reported by prof. Barcelona, one has to start somewhere, and somewhere simple, understandable and clear, it is better that somewhere complex, intricate and difficult to understand.
The voting behavior, is a "bestiality", with the Gelmini is a "clear cultural limitations"? Maybe, but it is also necessary to start somewhere.
I took 7 for conduct in high school (it was the summer of 1982, the year of the World Bearzot), I had offended a professor, an unjustified giving of "fagot" (then they did not use the word gay classroom. The whole class laughed. And the more she laughed, the more I enjoyed it and offended with violence. The professor was stunned and saddened, not really "anaffettivo". It was something serious is wrong. Serious and the punishment was fair, I was delayed in all subjects, I spent the summer studying.
I do not remember anything more "education" in high school, that summer. I remember the conversations with my father, encouragement and even threads. I remember my father saying to me: "if we wanted, we can also use the TAR compared to 7 in conduct, and will win for sure, but we are sure that is exactly what we want?". As well as reflections on what I had done at first angry, then more and more complicit with the President, (the legendary Professor Mainetti) and with other friends.
It is not making the grade in conduct "anaffettivi" teachers, not respect for authority that makes them far apart. What breaks up the school is a certain culture smoky, which "builds on the great issues" and that, for example, is staying during the hours of geography for 1 full year to study a class of medium-sized "The port of Venice" and forget that there is also China and the United States. That which every day, smashing the school, is the stupidity of some teachers who present with the black armbands against the Gelmini, (but what kind of example we give to students?), Is a certain culture that criticizes and does not propose that all is well, (even to say "fag" to a teacher), and compares every attempt to say things by their name, which compares a feeble attempt to return an authoritative and natural order to things, to a "dismantling of the public institution. "
But please!
Ps I dedicate this post to my daughter Anna started school today. Before leaving the classroom I said: "I commend and well behaved ...." oh my God! Maybe I'm a parent anaffettivo!! Help!!
