The test of citizenship for those who have the 6 in conduct and the school alternation of work necessary to be admitted. These are the novelties of the maturity for children born in 2006 which will begin on June 18 at 8.30 with the theme of Italian. The students in the second test will face Latin at the classical high school (last year had been the Greek) and mathematics, again, to the scientific high school. We talk about it with the writer and professor Marco Erba.
What do you think of these news?
“At the principle level, two positive elements seem to me, that of the alternation of school labor and the elaborate of citizenship. In the sense that the alternation school work is an excellent opportunity to put their skills in place, to broaden their horizons and to touch the world of work how it works which is then the place where everyone will be led to give their own contribution to the company. My experience says that school work alternation can be really very enriching for some girls and some boys; It can help them develop, to bring out their personality in a very positive way. Then, of course, it depends how it is done, how it is experienced and must not be perceived as a bureaucratic obligation ».
Positive as long as the pupil is convinced and involved above all for the hours of alternation school work …
“Students must be the protagonists of their choice and believe it, that is, they must not be hours to do by force, to decide them from the agenda, but must be experienced with passion and positivity”.
And for the citizenship work?
“As for the citizenship elaborate, it seems like a positive idea. Here too, it is clear, it depends on how it is applied because the idea that school is a school of citizenship, coexistence with others and mutual respect, this idea must be transversal in every minute in which one is at school and in every educational initiative that concerns teenagers. However, if a person has a vote in conduct who, despite being sufficient, is not high and therefore means that he has struggled to manage himself or herself from that point of view stop and make an elaborate more if well managed by the Council of class can be an opportunity for reflection. I remember years ago a person I had in school very very intelligent, very capable, very endowed at an intellectual level, who however had not positive attitudes for coexistence with his teammates and teachers and as a class council we gave a debt in education civic ».
In short, everything is well as long as it does not seem a punishment.
«Of course, in a constructive key. That is to offer an opportunity to reflection, not to live as a sanctioning rule, if you do not do the good, you get an extra job. So it would make little sense. Education must always have a proactive key so that it is an opportunity for reflection on itself and on its own being in the world “.
