For too many years of school we have been discussing only to divide ourselves on completely marginal topics. The latest reforms have followed the pace of governments, which have followed one another too quickly for any to take root and really change the system.
After all, just do the litmus test: the last student movement that we Millennials-Boomers remember is the Panther which however made its debut in the universities in the 1990s to counter the Ruberti reform and then also took over the high schools.

A slip that they write about with sincere regret Gianna Fregonara and Orsola Rivathe journalists of Corriere della Sera authors of the essay Don’t shoot up the schoolpublished by Solferino.
“Don’t shoot up schools” by Gianna Fregonara and Orsola Riva (Solferino).
Theirs is a declaration of love towards an institution in which we have all lost faith a little. «It may be aged and short of resources – they write courageously – but remains more than competitive with the private system».
Which is what we said about our healthcare before the sector was overwhelmed by waste and then by cuts. We still have time to put school back on track, the authors suggestand «preparing students for the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution and the leap into the dark into the planet of artificial intelligence».
As mothers, as well as journalists, Fregonara and Riva point out the crucial points on which to intervene and the possible solutions. AND identify a central theme: the useful life of the knowledge acquired is decreasing every day. «The path – they argue – seems to be that of a circular model, in which one returns to school several times in life».
A desirable epochal change that would be able to revolutionize our lives, recirculating and mixing energies and intelligences of all ages. (Personally, I can’t wait).
