Students leaving school
Some institutes give up the workshops in July and August. And the others are forced to resort to external collaborators
TREVISO. Summer school only halfway. Treviso teachers and students resist, so there are institutes that have limited themselves to the activities of strengthening or recovering learning, believing that “pupils can regain sociality with their legs», Without resorting to musical or theatrical workshops equipped by the teachers. According to some estimates by experts, 80% of pupils and teachers would not like schools open in the summer.
The project
Teaching colleges and school councils of all levels, in these days, are expressing themselves on the project wanted by Minister Patrizio Bianchi, to build an ideal bridge between the school year in the process of ending and the next. A project supported with special funds and aimed at recovering socialization, undermined by Dad’s long months. A multi-stage operation: gaps to be filled in June, workshops between July and August, introduction to the new year from September. What if in some schools there is enthusiasm for the initiative, the prevailing feeling is that we want to take advantage of the opportunity only for the periods of June and September, focusing on the recovery of deficiencies.
Teachers on vacation
The handicap linked to is evident finding teachers (membership on a voluntary basis as for students), who are busy with exams until mid-July and then have to enjoy their holidays. Thus some schools consider relying on external cooperatives, not to mention that even at the level of pupils the project does not seem to take much root. And, in this sense, the greatest perplexities come from the Comprensivi, considering that “in the primary and secondary schools, lessons were almost always given in the classroom”.
The schools
There are principals, however, who like the idea of ”pushing” on socialization. To the Mazzotti the school board has already given a favorable opinion. The teaching staff has not yet expressed itself, but an idea is already there. “Skills recovery in June, from the end of August we will focus on sociality ”, summarizes the executive Anna Durigon,“ Let’s think about playful-linguistic activities ”.
The principal also guides the Including Country Casteller, for which we think about the second part of the summer: “Archived the summer camps, from the end of August we will equip the English and physical activities campus. Staff? We will see whether to outsource: after a difficult year, with the complications of Dad, the teachers will not throw themselves into fish ».
The colleague Mariarita Ventura, from Canova high school, is already counting on the green light of the teachers’ college: “Recovery of shortages from June to early July, from September workshops on classical languages and listening activities».
There is excitement at the Besta: «From June 21, we will offer courses in guitar, photography and drawing»Announces the principal Renata Moretti,« We will start with a “camp experience”, based on the concepts of group and leadership. The teachers are involved: there are those who will teach yoga. Doubt is the appeal in boys ».
