Florence, the students who work at the Michelangiolo high school
A group of students from the Michelangelo high school in Florence occupied the school this morning. “The reasons that led us to this political act are many. We denounce the abominable management of the school system in recent years; we reject the logics that have governed and still govern the school and the policies implemented by this new government» explains the occupation committee.
They protest against a government that “will maintain the scholastic and economic policies pursued by previous administrations and will implement even stricter social and repressive impositions”, condemn “the management of the situation regarding immigration”, reject “a school system based solely on the numerical evaluation, which fuels the competition between students and the climate of tension within the classes, which affects the inclusion of each individual, preventing personal growth and the development of critical thinking”.
We also ask for “the immediate establishment of funds to resolve the serious structural deficiencies of the other dilapidated school buildings in Florence and the immediate abolition of the Pcto (transversal pathways for orientation, ed.), yet another tool used to make the school even more functional to a passive insertion of the individual in the logic of the market because a corporate and industrialized school moves away from the only objective that it should have: the personal, cultural and critical thinking training that allows an active insertion in society».
