This is NOT the first time that a teacher has asked a student in dad (distance learning) to blindfold her eyes during an interrogation. The request, in fact, had already been made in October last year by a teacher of a high school in the province of Salerno against a girl, complete with criticism and with a lot of excuses that obviously did not have a long echo.
Covid and ‘suspended’ adolescence, will the school be able to save the children?
As proof of this, the news from two days ago: in a high school in the Verona area, a teacher, during an interrogation, asks the fifteen-year-old student to cover her eyes. To the teacher’s ear, the girl was particularly prepared, hence the doubt as to whether she could cheat by reading on cards or other strategically placed out of sight of the webcam. And hence, the request to cover your eyes. The screenshot of the photo of the blindfolded girl soon makes the rounds of chat groups and the web, as we have all seen.

That some guys have studied ingenious methods to get by very well during the questions in dad is true (they did it even during the lessons in the presence, let’s face it), but getting to ask a lot a girl brings out the inadequacy of the teachers on the use of the instrument. distance learning. If at the beginning the teachers were caught unprepared, after more than a year from the use of this tool there are still some shortcomings, also in the way of evaluating the students. Why? There is a lack of methods and systems that can be used effectively to test children’s learning levels. At the University, in some realities, for example, they have put a system that captures eye movements. But this too is a gimmick.

In fact, there is a theme on which it would be appropriate to have a serious discussion as soon as possible: how was the relationship of trust with the students built by the teachers? How much, really, do the teachers know about the kids and the difficulties they are going through not going to school in person? Distance teaching, in addition to making us understand that it does not yet have all the teaching staff ready to use it and that doing online teaching does not mean reproducing on a platform the same lesson that is done in the presence as well as the lack of adequate tools for assessing the preparation of the students, he is also showing us another problem: the lack of empathy. Of course, in some cases and not in all. As usual, you can’t make a bundle of weed.
