Do not be fooled by the calm, because the tsunami is coming. There are waves that originate from a submarine earthquake, searching the flat horizon of remote-controlled news seems nothing is happening, and yet every night, throughout Italy, hundreds of schools are filled with teachers, teachers and parents. They already know everything, but continue to argue. They want to take one more minute of the Minister Mariastella Gelmini. Energy is invisible but constant and when the wave approaches the land to its height increases and takes all of a sudden. The next port - because in the depths of the primary school there is gearing up to last three years - has already been set for Saturday, November 29 and should not be surprised if hundreds of thousands of people (without the support of parties or trade unions) to fill the new village squares.
The organizational machine, set up by an impressive network of contacts who headed the association ReteScuole, is already at work Since last October 31, the day after the extraordinary general strike in defense of public schools. But already the next day, patchy, elementary schools in dozens of cities take to the streets for an initial return of vision (Bologna, Cologno Monzese, Merate, Concorezzo, Sesto San Giovanni, Lucca, Torino ...).
"Throughout the country - says Mario Piemontese, which bounces off every night in the schools of the province of Milan - we are doing an avalanche of meetings with a purpose. In each primary school that we are working to form a committee of parents and teachers, while we seek to build in more committees that hold together students and professors. This sort of hybridization between orders different schools, from elementary to university, is an absolutely new. " And it's working? "The evidence we'll get there on November 29," says Piemontese. It seems, however, that confidence is not lacking, whereas in Milan, the city where ReteScuole has for years been the first true engine of the protest have already been invited not one but three marches that will converge on the Piazza Duomo dragged by truck music, clowns, children companies and singers. Tens of thousands of people will say "I'm not" starting from Piazzale Baracca (meeting for public schools in the area north and west), the Piazza Lima (public schools in the east) and Porta Romana (south). Given the circumstances, someone crossing fingers, ventured to say that an event will be bigger than that which filled the Piazza Duomo at the time of the notorious reform of the then Minister Moratti (fat that runs when compared to the mess this government prepared by Berlusconi). Another march, yet to be prepared in detail, it is expected in Rome, and to act as boundary conditions are already set events in Turin, Bologna, Parma, Naples, Reggio Emilia and Venice ...
It's easy to ask "what's next?" As if the protests would ever live to flash fire and spectacular. Yet the 'after', in elementary school, has already been prepared with care. The 'big bang', in fact, is scheduled between February and March, when by the ministry that will reach the implementing regulations for the specific cuts: what, how and especially in schools which will impact. "The undercurrent network of teachers and parents - says Piemontese - is designed to last three years, the time it takes to destroy the public school." The first move has already been prepared for a long time. At pre-registration in January, teachers will offer parents who still have kids to kindergarten a model application form that they can specifically ask for the full-time and 40 hours of school in order to confirm the offer of the programs' previous year. The parents - along with the teachers - are the key to the success of this underground movement. This explains Roberto Ciullini, a "prototype" interesting as it has exploded since the protest spends evenings in primary schools (not just that of his daughter) and then draws up the list of initiatives the next few days. "A month ago - he said - only to bump into parents left us, but today we have on our side of the parents of the right and politically non-aligned. This pushes us to move forward, it is clear that the work of teachers is now able to move the view of the voter not left. "
It is no coincidence that Berlusconi is the contemptuous wave with the university while he is forced to move with caution with the "people" of teachers and parents in the sea of \u200b\u200bflapping Italian school.
