Toc toc. We're back! Easter 2009 Ricevo e giro
WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL ... ...
.... So we are back to school and things do not go well at all, just as we said and repeated in assemblies, meetings, events .
It was a bad dream.
We tried not to think about while we were at sea or in the mountains this summer.
But now we're back and we will begin soon to find out what it means to school age Gelmini.
Not all teachers are still making ben conto delle ricadute concrete sul loro lavoro, anche se intanto ogni Istituto inizia a fare i conti con gli insegnanti e i bidelli tagliati, i pomeriggi in meno, le compresenze decimate, le classi sovraffollate, i bilanci in rosso…
Ma se i docenti sono ancora in stand by, peggio va per le famiglie che non sanno assolutamente nulla della situazione in cui versano le scuole .
E di questo dobbiamo ringraziare l’informazione che non ritiene la scuola degna dell’attenzione che merita o, peggio, veicola le dichiarazioni rassicuranti (e false) del governo.
Anche le proteste dei precari they are paying first, and in a heavy, cuts, are virtually ignored by the majority of television and the press.
For the 2009/10 marketing year are as cut about 42,000 jobs for faculty and 15,256 staff posts for the ATA.
The redundancies among the teaching staff have been about 8000.
Over 25,000 temporary workers have not received an annual contract.
HERE IS THE PICTURE OF THE SITUATION IN VICENZA
| SCHOOL | CHANGE nr ° PUPILS | CHANGE nr ° DISABLED STUDENTS | CHANGE nr ° TEACHERS |
| CHILDHOOD | + 269 | + 39 | 0 |
| PRIMARY | + 174 + 46 | | - 164 |
| MEDIA | + 800 + 55 | | - 92 |
| TOP | + 859 | + 128 | - 41 |

| total | + 2102 + 268 | | - 500 |
PIU 'PUPILS crammed into crowded classes due to the elevation of minimum and maximum number of pupils per class.
fewer teachers called to cover the long hours, though requested by the majority of parents.
SCHOOL EMPLOYEES LESS to clean the classrooms, supervising students, serving meals.
WHAT IS GOING ON ...
Many schools have cut the supply time, eliminating the afternoons ... ...
Where are the needs of families said that the government take the utmost account?
Valdagno Many institutions find themselves with classes of 28-30 pupils and
Where is the security that our leaders claim to hold so much?
In the primary for the elimination of all copresences undermines the possibility of remedial teaching, development of educational plans, laboratory activities, educational tours ... ....
REPLACEMENT short, covered first with the hours available and hours of coexistence with them, who will?
Where is the quality, the Minister said to ensure Gelmini?
... .. And what happens'
Projects survivors, in-service teachers younger, precarious this year are working, smaller classes, smaller schools. ... Are all "on time", waiting for the next scissor kick that will come on time in 2010 and 2011.
Remember that the true financial law Tremonti's three-year cuts included?
We are only half 'of the planned cuts!
And to round off ..
ZERO EURO is the amount transferred last school year by the Ministry to schools to cover expenses for the normal operation :
stationery, paper, toner for copiers and printers ink, chalk, first aid equipment, cleaning classrooms and bathrooms ...
The provision for supply teachers, reduced by 50% in recent years has been exhausted in the spring by schools, which have been found to affect the funds allocated to other (projects, fund school ..) to be able to pay salaries to the alternates.
institutions now share with no money to pay for substitutes and the rest.
However, schools are creditors in respect of the Ministry of Education of almost one billion euro to funds announced in the budget made by the institutions, but never arrived!
(The Minister, however, restored the funds initially cut to private schools)
The programming of expenditure that schools must provide by law by October è resa difficile dall’assoluta incertezza dei finanziamenti.
Per il momento le scuole si reggono sui contributi “volontari” delle famiglie…ma la Costituzione non afferma che la scuola pubblica è gratuita?
E NOI CHE FACCIAMO ?
Possiamo fare finta di niente e adattarci…
Possiamo brontolare e poi adattarci….
Oppure possiamo cercare di non rassegnarci, cercando di far conoscere a quante più persone possibili cosa sta realmente accadendo alla scuola pubblica.
"Why insist? - Some say - now the cuts have been made ...
Why not have the idea that the school goes ahead anyway, without shaking, despite the staff cuts ... economic impoverishment.
Because the cuts will not end here, and perhaps the conscience of the disaster will change your idea to someone at the top ...
Why is also a battle of dignity, at least for people who do their jobs well and believe in role of the school to society.
