Sabato 4

In mattinata è previsto il corteo di tutte le scuole. Leggo il manifesto che lo lancia. Ne condivido alcuni punti, non la chiamata finale, di chiara matrice anarchica, al blocco delle città, alla rivolta generalizzata. Gli anarchici hanno un grande potere di penetrazione in un ambiente oramai totalmente deideologizzato come quello della scuola, e riescono facilmente ad imporre le loro parole d’ordine.
Faticosamente, nel primo pomeriggio, riesco a ricostruire quanto è accaduto la mattina, dopo notizie confuse che giungevano da ogni parte: gli occupanti del Classico avevano deciso to terminate their employment, as agreed with the manager, heard the news were the protesters converged in bulk at Piazza Risorgimento. At the end of high school was left. I will write then later one of the representatives of the Institute will raise, in any form, protests and claims. Bravo!
At 15 with two colleagues that they believed more strongly to the goodness and maturity of self we are going to talk to the guys Rummo. There are various "souls" of employment. By exposing our position very clearly: it was a success, in content and message sent to the town, now abandoned this form of protest and treat delle “riforme”, si creano dei tavoli di discussione a livello di istituto e di città per una vera autoriforma della scuola. Noi, in caso contrario, non garantiremo più la nostra presenza e il nostro supporto. Alcuni capiscono il senso del nostro discorso, lo condividono, ma sono netta minoranza. Vado via con l’impressione, condivisa, che tra molti degli occupanti, soprattutto dopo quella che è stata percepita come “caduta” del Classico (e che, invece, è stato un atto responsabile, maturo), si sia diffusa una sorta di “sindrome da Termopili”: «Liceali, godetevi la vostra colazione…». Intanto non hanno organizzato nulla di interessante: si canta e si gioca a carte… I am very puzzled.

Sunday 5

Continued uncertainty. Browse profiles, write, ask for information, I feel with my colleagues. We can not simply wash our hands, we owe it to our students, that they remain even if they hire from our point of view, the wrong locations. I also believe that reality is dialectical, that everything we do change it, so I will not resign. At 10
send a message to all my students, where I explain what happened the day before: "We told them what we thought was a success because, as long as the occupation ended the weekend and with the Manager to have EXAMINED During the year, degli spazi di cogestione. E che, invece, rimanere in attesa dello sgombero con la forza avrebbe vanificato quanto di buono fatto». Lo inoltro anche ai leader della protesta, o quelli con i quali ho maggiormente interloquito in questi giorni.
Nel pomeriggio viene convocata un’assemblea alle 16. La maggioranza decide di proseguire sine die l’occupazione. Le ragioni della minoranza suscitano irritazione e reazioni vibranti. I ragazzi mi scrivono. Sono amareggiato.
Dopo cena vado a scuola. Non entro, ma chiedo ai ragazzi di smontare le mie cose lasciate a scuola (l’amplificatore, le casse…). Qualcuno di loro chiede conto del mio mutamento di posizione: rispiego le cose dette il giorno prima. Mi sembrano confusi. Chiedo: qual è il vostro obiettivo? «Arrivare fino al 14… la caduta del Governo… l’affossamento della Legge Gelmini…». In bocca al lupo. «Vi dimostreremo che sapremo organizzare attività importanti anche senza l’aiuto dei professori». Ne sarei molto felice. È quello che ho sempre desiderato.
In bocca al lupo, Spartani. Speriamo che nessuno di voi debba cenare il pane amaro d’un prosaico Ade…

Giovedì 2

Alle 10 sono al Rummo . Assisto all’incontro dei ragazzi con tre colleghe. Dissento su alcune questioni, ma trovo straordinari quei docenti che accettano di mettersi in discussione without the network of "power" given to us by votes, records, programs. Everything that would normally teach as an abstract theory asks to be embodied. If not now, when? Commenting on my open letter to Mrs. Anna Romano writes in the "Book", "The discomfort that my daughter is the obvious lack of ideas from his teammates to make sense of these days, but to me it's lacking a key component of the school, namely the teachers! Where am I? Why are not with them and help them understand how she did, turning to the various institutions? The confidence of its pupils are being earned by their side forever, especially in these times. " Aiutare a capire… Questo dovrebbe essere scritto nel nostro ideale “giuramento di Socrate”, cui ogni docente dovrebbe essere chiamato all’inizio della sua carriera.
Iniziamo a vedere (con la LIM, la lavagna luminosa multimediale, destinata a cambiare le modalità dell’insegnamento nei prossimi anni) C apitalism. A love story . Spiego rapidamente ai ragazzi chi è Michael Moore , i suoi documentari sull’uso dell’armi in America, sull’11 settembre, sul sistema sanitario, il suo radicalismo democratico. Seguono in raccolto silenzio. Non parliamo della rivoluzione (o forse sì), ma cerchiamo di “capire” (insieme) il nostro tempo. Lo spiego to two representatives of parents who have come, cleverly, to see with their own eyes. At 16.30
are Giannone, the school where I taught in recent years. Most of the occupants are engaged in inter-agency meeting to Guacci. I read to my kids present open letter, I express my position. I listen to them. The greatest discomfort was born in the attitude of their professors. There was no dialogue, indeed, moments of high tension day of employment. The attitude of dialogue and open the manager has avoided degeneration. I encourage them to ask for an official meeting with the faculty member to explain the reasons for the move. I am convinced that only the synergistic action of all members of the school will begin a process of self-reform. I leave them with a reflection of Edgar Morin (whose head well done invited the boys to "take hold of their education), on the need for reform of knowledge that goes hand in hand with reform of ' statement: "We need to rearm intellectually, instructing us to think about the complexity and groped in the era of thinking about global problems of mankind." I go to
Guacci, where I find an even different. Here the group "aware" is fairly small. Component dominates the play. We put ourselves in a small classroom. We reach the links, thinking with which it all started. I find this attitude admirable. Not satisfied with what the kids do, but there is present, it is questioned. I ask the boys and girls to talk, to tell their experiences. Emerging enthusiasm for the 'company' disappointment at the response of the body of the Institute. From our work shows some viable proposals for the future: the building of an editorial and a school newspaper, the proposed times of co-management with the active participation of teachers, thanks to the great availability of the manager, launching an afternoon movie sessions and regular meetings on current depth and invitation to read. Small groups are aware that changing the reality ...

Friday 3

At 10 are Rummo . We complete the vision of Moore's documentary about the disasters of American turbo-capitalism, the crisis of 2006. I have prepared a brief discussion on " decrease . The boys do not know anything. I speak of their Ivan Illich and Serge Latouche. Rather than discuss the theoretical framework of the movement, I try to make proposals for action: to buy a filter jug \u200b\u200band start drinking water home, preparing food (like yogurt) at home, suggest to replace the scooter with an electric bike ... But above all that complex to begin the work of "decolonization of the imaginary" without which the world of "goods" will continue with its glitter to dominate inside. And, philosophically, to begin to crack the myth of "progress", by Bacon that haunts Western culture. I will list the sites where they go into that. I close my urging them to recount the experience that they are living, and speak to them about this diary. "Find your own words to explain, out of here, what is happening." The discussion continues with some of the boys, disturbed by these proposals. I realize, talking with them, how difficult it is to scratch the "culture" of consumption of goods, progress, speed and especially the media have inculcated in them, the single thought. The role of education in the "resistance" of teachers is crucial.
The boys are moving en masse to participate in the parade with other schools.
I think of what to do in the afternoon with them. I'd like to reflect on the transformative power of great poetry, Dylan Thomas read and René Char (dear Dr. Del Vecchio, the boys are hungry for poetry, I think, and perhaps even revolution, maybe they need adults in dialogo piuttosto che di laudatores temporis acti e dei loro sprezzanti giudizi). Mi arriva un messaggio: salta tutto per il pomeriggio.
Non so cosa accade e accadrà domani. Non so quando i ragazzi termineranno l’occupazione. Per rispetto nei loro confronti non partecipo mai alle assemblee. Li condizionerei. Aspetto trepidante lo sviluppo degli eventi.

II Diary of employment or the world saved by children

Martedì 30



È il mio giorno libero ( dies sacer per i docenti delle Superiori). Su Facebook verso ora di pranzo vengo a sapere che i ragazzi hanno occupato: Scientifico, Classico, Guacci, Alberti, Alberghiero, Artistico… È un fulmine a ciel sereno. Mai come quest’anno la parola “occupazione” era stata assente dalle discussioni tra e con i ragazzi. Che fare? Ne discuto in rete con una collega cara e appassionata. Scrivo nel tardo pomeriggio una Lettera aperta rivolta soprattutto ai colleghi: rimaniamo accanto ai ragazzi in questo momento nevralgico della storia del nostro paese. L’epigrafe è di De André: «E se vi siete detti / non sta succedendo niente…» È la Canzone del maggio , che chiude: «provate pure a credervi assolti / siete lo stesso coinvolti».
Verso le 20 vado al Rummo. Compro qualcosa da portare: merendine, cioccolata, un pandoro, qualche bottiglia di tè. Assisto ad un duro scontro verbale davanti alle doors. The occupants did not want outside inside. Inside is a serene: the lively discussions, but everything is quiet. Embrace the megaphone that I lent to the boys. Will I see the end of everything? :) I begin to understand that these guys are new compared to previous years. Seeking knowledge and acting are absolutely no "ideology" of pre-established positions. I agree to come the next day to do something.

Wednesday 1

At 9.30 are Rummo. I brought along an amplifier with two speakers, the jack for connecting everything to the laptop, an autonomous body with the microphone. I prepared three, four things used in recent years to the day ... enza to the LIC Giannone: spirituality in the music of Battiato, an introduction to the work of Bob Dylan, the relationship between classical and rock music. Opto eventually for De Andrè . Faber would have been next to these guys. I'm sure. Start by listening to Charles Martel . Short circuit, but this king, who suffers from sexual addiction, it reminds us of a sultan of our time? 'Is it possible for a dog or pig / adventures in the realm Codest / debban resolved all with large whores? ". The day before Sky had broadcast an interview with Nadia Macri De Andrè ... I'm talking about, "traitor" class in the second half of the sixties, the influence of Brel, the concept album, its radical Christianity. Arrival in the nineties. I ask, finally, a religious gathering to listen Sunday of remains, the largest Italian songs of all time in my opinion. It is an intense moment, the prophetic description of the fifteen years of that regime is about to close, thanks to the guys in front of me, "The Sunday of the bodies / officers to nostalgia / accompaniment of flutes / the corpse of Utopia / The Sunday corpse / was a Sunday like many / the next day there were signs / peace of terrifying. " The lobby is a buzz of voices, faces you seek ... The guys are excited: I understand. In the end I invite them to cultivate Faber, cantor of the excluded, the last, against all moral self-righteous. I want a reflection on the issue of the South in the afternoon. Studio.
back to them at 16.30. Luckily some of my colleagues have chosen to say: I admire them. They do not share completely the choice of occupation, yet there are, are with their children, continue to be who they are educators. It is a relief for me. The boys want to talk about Saviano and the Camorra, the word and its power, they want to do guitar lessons, pinch, sculpture ...
The classroom is full and careful. I ask them a few thoughts preliminary. Some are reading Terroni of Pino April. They talk about it. I tell them that in all these years, I have always tried to give an image problem of the Italian Risorgimento, which did see the limits now entered the common consciousness, exploded with the robbery, but also the limits of democratic thought "defeated," the limits of Mazzini and the absence of serious reflection on the specific conditions of the jump in the twentieth century South. Using Three ways of seeing the South of Franco Cassano . Shows the two dominant paradigms of thought southern (and that of the colonial "delay"), and their limits. Finally, I dwell on "thought meridian, creative ways to resume long-standing issue and come out of the shallows. The kids involved, ask questions, the speech touches key issues: the economy, capitalism, Marx ... I propose, for the next day to see Capitalism. A love story of Moore. Proposal accepted.
I head to Giannone. Embrace guys who still feel my pupils. I talk to a dear colleague, who tells me the sense of responsibility. The Institute is in perfect order. You play soccer in the rain and chat. They ask me to come the next day in the afternoon. I also called the Guacci. In the evening, network, dialogue. One of my former student, very committed to the right, critics savaged the movement: do not even know what to protest, he says. I say: the awareness is created, it is a path. These guys are asking to be an active part of their growth process and demand that the state invest more resources in training. Place photos of occupations. I'm glad to be next to them, to teach and learn.
