School, practical applications of a system that does not exist

<<The school is open to all>>. As, at the opening, cites art. 34 of the Italian Constitution, going to identify in education, one of the inalienable rights that, the state and all public institutions, have civic and moral duty to guarantee their citizens. But the founding fathers of our Constitution, they could never have foreseen the evolution of society and let alone the critical issues that could have occurred in the event of pandemic emergencies similar to what today is going through the world and bringing Italy to its knees. In the knowledge society, characterized by the frenetic growth of technology and digitization, critical issues and solutions are to be found in the main actors of the institutions, that at various levels, they did not know or want to grasp the changes required by the new social models. A company with many solutions and with few practical applications, this that today finds itself without <<Schools open to all>> , with easily detectable critical issues that do not allow a right to study accessible to everyone, It is also labile from the didactic point of view, going to undermine what instead, Equity should guarantee. Nevertheless, it was enough to put “the system” a series of inclusive practices to ensure that everyone, none excluded, found an education “smart”: Internet access for all students, Technologies integrated with any device and applications to facilitate teaching. But these, These are just some of the actions that can be put in place. Distance teaching, Therefore, which should lead not only to methodologies “inclusive”, but also develop the concept of “skills”, as pointed out in his publications, by Dr. Franca da Re, National and internationally renowned pedagogist. Reality, the real one, The one to whom a few focus their attention is the difficulty that teachers and teachers must face, often also with solutions “homemade” To facilitate teaching at a distance. We are witnessing, Indeed, to a state that certainly not <<promotes the conditions that make the right to work effective>> (Constitution – art.4) and that although promoting actions in this sense, it does so disorganized and without the right skills. The absence of a “Didactic direction” inevitably emphasizes a “school system” non -existent. We must have the courage to implement a structural revision, The same courage that millions of teachers have had, often in the absence of previous skills and experiences, in facing the pandemic crisis alone, guaranteeing its pupils the right to education. E’ It is necessary to remember that at this emergency phase on the one hand schools ask to maintain socialization, on the other, families demand a more continuous relationship and proposed although the moment is a tyrant of virtuality. Tasks sent, Video-Lezioni and Audio-Lezioni, teachers who in every way try to make themselves useful and worthy of accessing the list of heroes, together with doctors and nurses, But it would have wanted to compete and preparation upstream. Only happy note, It is to be traced in the resilience of the pupils that, despite the various difficulties, they are learning a new knowledge, that of traditional values ​​and small things, To put it in Montessorian words <<they are doing alone>>. Would be, Therefore, natural to ask, not who are responsible, But what are the responsibilities and what compensation to, cheap and moral, they will be able, once this crisis has ceased.
