Milan – A march “for the school of our desires”, which means “be able to secure full-time to the four future first graders”. Eighty-four 6-year-old children who will start school next September at complex in via Scrosati, in the Lorenteggio areaof the Cardarelli-Massaua Comprehensive State Institute.
the trend reverses
“We will have four new premieres compared to two outgoing fifths: This is great news for us, in contrast to the drop in enrollment in previous years, a consequence of the unification of two complexes (Massaua and Scrosati) in a single structure, necessary after the closure of one of the buildings due to lack of availability. And that will be the case until the new school, planned for almost 10 years, in Via Strozzi, is delivered”, he explains. the director Manfredo Tortoreto.
It could have been the one that conquered the families, and therefore caused the number of registrations to rise again the adoption of the “pizzigonian method” which includes workshops in the open air, in particular teaching in the garden and in the greenhouse.
an excluded class
“But all this runs the risk of being annulled, because only three full-time premieres were allowed“, which means school from 8.30 to 16.30. The reason? “Cuts and an insufficient number of teachers. Impossible – adds the director – to carry out these particular projects in half a day, leaving before lunch. And how do you decide who to grant full time? All families have chosen it. We are in a difficult suburb, with 40% foreign students, and with our meager means we try to combat school dropout and promote inclusion”. From here, the march: procession thursday 25 at 11 at the Superintendence in via Soderini.
protest and gifts
“The children – explains Laura Rudelli, president of the Scrosati Parents’ Association – will bring gifts to the Superintendent: products grown by them, plants and a book with activitiesMoms and dads also point out that “the cuts have only recently been announced, which creates difficulties in family organization.”
The question No regard only the Cardarelli-Massaua Institute, which is the leader in applications, but many other schools in Milan: “About 43 directors have written to the Superintendency to request an urgent meeting to discuss the real needs of the schools, and the Provveditorato responded by scheduling an online meeting” for tomorrow, announced the Usr Lombardia.
“Even this year you feel pressure to cut costswith the allocation to more complete institutes of normal time classes instead of full time, and an insufficient number of professors to cover the entire schedule”. So everyone on the move.
