A false school for the visit of the Minister

Cristina Luoni and 40 other teachers (Falcone Institute of Gallarate)
The Friday, November 12th visit to the SI Falcone Gallarate by the Minister of Education Mariastella Gelmini recalls some of the rarefied atmosphere and aseptic dark periods of our history and that of others, when you delete any element of disturbance in the environment a Minister has to visit. In this particular case to be out of place were teachers and students of the institution itself, which for the occasion were asked not to come to school for the afternoon and evening and every legitimate request for clarification was rejected evasive and at times rude.
Only the next day, the secret meeting was shown in all its grotesque splendor: the Minister visiting a school half-empty, surrounded by a bunch of student /photographers and chefs carefully selected according to inscrutable criteria, her words of praise for wonderful school, with an Italian for the truth not always worthy of the Academy of the Bran (the ancient academy that decides about the correct italan language forms), our leaders beaming in front of a table laden with feast and, finally, the young teacher on duty who is anxious to explain the use of IWB (Interactive Whiteboard Multimedia), magically appeared with the same teacher for the occasion.
The pervading feeling that there is deep bitterness, we do not know whether the order to "evacuate" the building was dropped from above because the Lady of education is concerned - perhaps rightly - a direct comparison or if the initiative is was the result of the zeal of our leaders that he wanted to give a few hours so serene illustrious guest, it is certain that a great injustice has been done to a group of employees that has the important task of educating and training people of tomorrow, and their students who are the real protagonists in the training world. Be treated as potential disruptersis simply ridicolus.
