The end and the beginning of the school year are always hot periods. Not only for the temperatures that make us dream of the umbrella in June and make us sigh “but when the autumn arrives?”, But also because the students live in that existential limbo: already on vacation or not yet at school. And so they cross the door of the classroom with Mise who would also make a lifeguard of Rimini blush. The girls show off very low -colored rowing, bras of the bra who wave cheerful and inguinal shorts shouting revenge on modesty. The boys, in order not to be outdone, arrive in the Hawaian Bermuda and flip flops, ready for an aperitif on the beach rather than a mathematical lesson. And there, I confess, the joke always runs away: “Did you forget them out?”.
For this reason, when I read about the manager of a Taormina superior institute that made a four -pages printed and distribute a dépliat with lots of illustrations and final photos on the “Admitted Dress Code” and “Dress queues forbidden” (including low -waisted trousers, miniskirts, shorts, torn jeans, vulgar writings on the shirts or stiletto heels), I felt less the solita. Bacchettona teacher. I admit it: I applauded a little. The idea of the dépliat will also be over the top but has its own charm Democratic: clear rules for both girls and boys, so we dispel the myth that only the former exaggerate. During the September exams, for example, I found myself in front of a student in the top and a boy in a perforated tank top, in my opinion both decidedly out of place. My young colleague of science, however, did not agree: a passionate discussion was born that highlighted our personal difference more than anything else. I remain convinced that the form is also substance, even if, of course I know, they seem to be rear -going battles. And perhaps public money would be better to invest in more serious projects for the growth of children.
But the fact remains that common sense costs nothing and some rule on clothing, iNserita in the institute regulations, bad does not do. Because school, if it is not a sacred place, is still a work and growth place. And there, in addition to respecting the diversity of young people, a little about it too for us “agée” would not hurt.
