In our school we do not have disabled or foreign students

Controversy erupts over this sentence from a principal of a Roman high school and Minister Fedeli threatens sanctions to force the school to be inclusive and multi-purpose
Of Costanza Miriano

(AUTOMATIC READING)
The collective hysteria of the very politically correct now means that if a principal, Clara Rech of the Visconti classical high school in Rome to give names and surnames, writes objective data in a self-evaluation document – “there are no foreign or disabled students” – damnatio breaks out in Repubblica, Minister Fedeli threatens measures because schools must be inclusive and multi-purpose.
Bene, I would like to say that the minister is right, the school must be inclusive, that is, giving everyone the same opportunities. The principle is sacrosanct, but let's ask ourselves what it means, in concreto. Inclusive for me means that anyone decides to study seriously, whatever country or social background he comes from, can have the same possibilities. It's a beautiful program, I would agree. This would really allow social mobility, currently impossible in Italy. If you are the son of a professional but you are a moron, if you are a goat and especially if you don't study, to get to the qualifying exam that will allow you to occupy the place prepared by your parents in their studio you must spend at least thirty-six years of study, that is, every year of the eighteenth year of your school career you have to repeat it. This, a school that fails and selects, it would be a truly inclusive school, where even the son of the Bangladeshi greengrocer can become a lawyer if he kills himself on books, while the lawyer's son who doesn't want to study can still find a place on the market; and now I too am accused of being classist, I imagine. Let's clarify: the greengrocer is a very noble job, but you don't need to study too much. Point.
THE SCHOOL IS LEVELED DOWNWARDS
Instead, it is the school that Fedeli wants to be classist, leveled downwards, with shorter study cycles, and it is forbidden to fail (these are its news). This is true classism, a school that wants everyone to be mediocre so that no one, not even endowed with excellent will, receive the tools to rise above the starting condition of their family (there are sometimes exceptions, although highly discouraged by the current school model).
The school began to fail mercilessly, and check that it is also done in private companies (some excellent, some shelter of daddy's children). Professors stop asking scheduled questions, the real plague of today's school, schools should start teaching grammar again, that our children's eyes become red from the effort of being bent over books from morning to night, instead of smartphones (maybe even the parents will be a little disturbed’ to take these phones away from them, to the boys: I know that they will then find them talking and walking around the house, but patience). From elementary school onwards, stop doing things that have nothing to do with studying, watching films is prohibited, which is the only thing that kids know how to do very well on their own, educational projects are prohibited for “know the regional flavors” and page after page of logical and grammatical analysis unfolds, because then maybe at university someone could even learn to use the subjunctive (I won't make jokes about politicians who struggle with Italian, including Minister of Education, because the topic is too dramatic for me, and I don't find anything to joke about). Today a daughter school of '68 has understood sacrosanct inclusion as a downward leveling, non, as it should be, upward: we all have to wait for the last one in the class, even though he hasn't ordered the textbooks yet in February. And if you haven't studied, I won't put you 2, I tell you that I will question you the 9 March. My high school teachers are turning in their graves. The mere thought of going to school without having done the Greek version would make me break out in a cold sweat and stutter with fear even today as an adult., a single look and a purse of the teacher's lips, the one he gave him 1 less less of encouragement, it would have been enough to strike terror into the entire class. What if the parents had been summoned, they would have sided with the professors before even hearing what they had to say. Today, however, parents protect the children of this snowflake generation, poor things, from school harassment, many times they had to suffer trauma. […] TOO MANY FOREIGNERS
I changed a school for one of my children, all media, because there were too many foreigners. I'm not ashamed to say it because I had it in that school, already knowing that he would be in a multi-ethnic class. Mine wasn't prejudice, it was judgment – most noble and dutiful human activity. After a year of attendance I was able to verify firsthand, data and concrete evidence in hand, than in the Italian school as it is conceived today, without teachers to help and support children with delays, that are linguistic, cultural or cognitive, the significant presence of foreigners who did not speak our language (I'm not talking about those born in Italy) has objectively and visibly slowed down teaching. It is an incontrovertible fact. If I were rich and already had a paved path for my children I might as well, Perhaps, be more relaxed on the topic. But since our children have nothing but their own strength on which to build their future, it is our duty as parents to put them in a position to study as much as possible, and with rhythms that seriously engage them. It would be a right, Also. A right that today's school no longer guarantees, because it wants us all to be mediocre. Including in mediocrity is not a great cultural program.
