Admitted by the Tar to maturity, she is rejected in the exams. The teachers to the minister: “We humiliated”

TRENTO – She had arrived at the final exam thanks to the Tar judges. Despite the five failings in her report card, she had been admitted to take the exams. But the commission ended up agreeing with the verdict of his teachers. And so the student was rejected. But one of the teachers of the Da Vinci high school in Trento disavowed by the administrative judges, has decided to write a letter of protest to the Minister of Education Joseph Vallettara.

“A humiliation for us teachers”

“I see more and more kids chasing easy roads, helped by families and society to look for tricks to move forward, in the superficial vision of a world in which you have to prove how smart you are and not how good you are. What should school teach me? I wonder while I see my category humiliated by a decision that surpasses it and takes away its authority”. It is one of the passages of the letter that Alessio Marinelliprofessor of Mathematics and Physics sent to the Ministry of Education with 110 signatures of colleagues collected in just over 24 hours.

“Bring the teachers back to the center of the school”

“The point, Minister, is not the specific case that will have its conclusion in one way or another. The point is the school and its future”, reads the letter in which it is asked “to bring back the figure of the “teacher at the center of the school, starting with the little things, trying to enhance our commitment with deeds and avoiding demeaning situations”.

Undermined the serenity of judgment”

The suspension of the Tar – the letter again – “is a slap in the face of the teacher’s credibility”. Furthermore, continues the teacher, “the decree puts the serenity of judgment of the teaching staff in difficulty. Who will have the strength, the courage, the tenacity to face a painful, but sometimes necessary choice, such as a rejection? I also find it deplorable “the idea that having a good lawyer is enough, the idea of ​​being willing to do anything to get away with it. No, Minister, I don’t think this is the right teaching to give to kids”.

“Ghost Students in Fifth Year”

Another request is to “review the university entrance tests. During the fifth year many students are practically ghosts”, reads the letter, which highlights that “advancing the tests to January and February is a slap to the dignity of the system secondary school”.

Classroom teachers supporting the commission

The girl had already been accepted into a university course in business administration. Yesterday a group of teachers also attended the test, present in support of their colleagues in the commission. In the corridors of the institute were the girl’s lawyers and her parents. One of the accesses to the upper floors was closed by an iron gate. And in the lobby, Ata staff were instructed to “keep journalists away,”
