Hello,

have passed almost three months after the tragedy that struck Darwin School of Rivoli, and apart from the initial echo to the national level, there is a feeling that the focus on each other tends to loosen and blur. The public imagines that fact with the return of 17 out of 43 classes in the morning (on 7 January at the former school complex Media L EVI) and the expected future return in early May at the premises of the seminary , everything is solved.

not, well, not just in order to refocus attention on the difficulties that students, faculty and families are living has been the COMMITTEE Students and Parents Liceo Scientifico Charles Darwin Rivoli.

One of the first practical acts which the Committee has decided to do is write a open letter to Education Minister Maria Stella Gelmini Dr. I ask you to publish in order to give all possible visibility to what is required.

Sure you want to give this the attention that our mail and waiting for your feedback, greeting separately.

Rest course available for any clarification / need and thank you in advance.

Subject: Darwin High School Rivoli: request for extraordinary intervention
Honourable Minister,
has been more than two months after the tragedy that struck our high school and a month and a half after the letter
the Presidency of the Darwin High School and the Council of The Institute
have addressed.
The letter bore the heartfelt request for your intervention, which initiates emergency procedures and
destinasse fondi straordinari per il Darwin, allo scopo di restituire ai mille studenti del Liceo, alle loro famiglie e al personale dell’Istituto la normalità, condizione indispensabile per superare, senza mai dimenticare, il profondo trauma subito, per terminare l’anno scolastico con profitto accettabile e per poter guardare con fiducia agli anni di studio futuri.
In questi mesi studenti e insegnanti hanno continuato a lavorare, superando pesanti disagi con
serietà, tenacia e dedizione, dapprima il pomeriggio, fino alle 19, ospiti degli Istituti Natta e
Vittorini, e ora in parte al mattino, ospiti nei locali della ex Scuola Media Levi, parzialmente
riadattati con l’intervento the Province and partly in the afternoon at the Institute Natta. In Darwin
users converge to a very large basin and transport lines were
reorganized several times, but travel time and stay 'away from home "have expanded dramatically in
(starting before 12 to get back in the evening after 20, or before 7 am and come home for lunch after the 15) with a heavy increase in effort and a drastic reduction of time to devote to study.
Mindful of the emergency we are enduring hardship and fatigue, but what really worries
is the distortion of the teaching, we are a High School, part of the PNI and experimental courses, but there are laboratories available, or computer or otherwise, are suspended all the afternoon activities, such claims are not achievable, they prepare the final examinations of increasing difficulty and effort, it undergoes a large variation in relation to comparable students in other realities.
If you can accept this for a few months, it is not conceivable to keep going even
next year.
The intervention of the Province of Turin has allowed in little more than a month to restructure (
with more than 120,000 euro) a Levi part of the school, where classes fifth, fourth and some of those hours with more than 30 hours, have taken over the frequency morning (however, as mentioned above, without labs) and to prepare, approve and fund, with about 900,000 euro a restructuring plan is part of the building "proper" of Darwin. The work began and will end in late April, allowing the return home of some of the classes.
Piedmont Region has also allocated € 500,000 and the Province is looking, with many difficulties, new money, to find the missing amount needed to fund the remaining work.
Lacking funds, not all students will be able to return to their school at the beginning of the next school year and
, however, even for those who can return, there will be the availability of all
space needed for teaching and in particular the availability of the gyms.
In this contingency, it is with deep sadness and disappointment that we have to remark the absence of any intervention on the part of his ministry: the confident and polite request sent to Dec. 18, not only is not a positive response, but there is was no answer, as if the letter in question had never existed.
It is therefore with surprise and disbelief that we learned through the media reported that
His recent statements that the safety of school buildings "is a top priority and which will be stanziate «risorse molto importanti», indicate dai media in «una quota delle risorse del Fondo Aree Sottoutilizzate (prevista nel decreto anticrisi); 300 milioni di euro per il 2008 e altrettanti per il 2009; altri 100 milioni grazie a un’intesa con l’Inail; il 5% del Fondo per le Infrastrutture Strategiche; 20 milioni annui derivati dai risparmi sulle spese della politica».
Queste dichiarazioni sarebbero state rilasciate da Lei, onorevole Ministro, e dal Ministro per gli
Affari Regionali, onorevole Fitto, durante la presentazione di una nuova iniziativa, che si
concluderà fra sei mesi, tesa a rilevare i problemi riguardanti la sicurezza in 45 000 istituti italiani.
L’iniziativa è laudable and there is absolutely just and agreed (as we would also support a similar proposal
, who unfortunately never had then advanced at the time by the then Minister Moratti
).
However, Mr Minister, the thousand students of Darwin can not wait six months
useful to conduct the investigation, let alone the additional months needed to initiate and implement interventions.
The situation of Darwin is widely known and monitored, it requires further investigation to determine how and where to intervene
as part of a national plan of formal
safety of school buildings. The Darwin needs instead of immediate and extraordinary character
relate to emergency than he plays. The students of Darwin
do not need to be made more secure the building in which, perhaps with
some problems, already studied, but they need to be returned to their school who have not
more, which could follow the plan selected studies, which now, however, can not follow a normal shape.
is legitimate to hope that a small proportion of those multi-million announced to implement the 'priority' safety in schools should be set aside now, now, because this serves to return the Darwin to his students? We remain
parents, Mr Minister, in confident expectation: that some will want to respond to
nostre speranze e all’impegno fattivo dei nostri figli e dei loro insegnanti.
Con osservanza
Il Comitato Genitori e Studenti del Darwin

Bilingual Wedding Ceremony

February 27: meeting the parents and the establishment of the Parents Committee

Il prossimo venerdì (27 febbraio, ore 17,30) sarà convened at the Great Hall of the assembly of the Newton parents in accordance with article 17 of the new Regulation of the Institute.

The meeting is open to all parents, even if only the class representatives have the right to vote on the constitution of the Parents' Committee pursuant to Article 15 of Decree 297 / 94.

The Parents 'Committee is a collegial body, but is recognized under the law and is a useful link between parents' representatives in the CDI and class councils: can also give proposals and opinions referred to the School Committee and the Council of the Institute or Circle must be taken into account for the finalization of the POF and experimental projects.

need to set up and a state (of which we will propose a draft in the assembly) and the appointment of at least a President, who will be tasked to convene the next meeting (the first is called, as in this case , the President of CDI).

will then need to find someone among the class representatives of goodwill available to make the President (which is not particularly onerous a charge ... then always depends on how you want to play the role, to the extent expected and customary law) of course the President can not be a component of the CDI !

If you have any ideas or if you plan to offer voluntary ... let us know!

School Council of 6 February 2009

interesting and discussed the items on the day of the Council, focusing mainly on the approval of the 2009 Annual program that draws on the figure of € 576,650.
Among the decisions taken (by unanimity of those present), what more can be discussed is the ' increase in admission fee from the school year 2009-2010, which would increase from 90 to 120 €.
The cause is unknown, alas: the constant reduction of transfers from the Ministry and local authorities (and the situation, following the Government's policies on education, can only worsen in coming years). If
as representatives of parents are well aware that this is not the most popular time for families to ask for an additional cost, because we voted for:
  • € 30 a year, they represent a large increase in relative terms, seem to us a figure, however, be borne by the families;
  • the earmarking of funds for a future renewal of language and computer laboratories (which have 12 and 6 years old!) is necessary to save them from obsolescence, however
  • increase the costs, rightly, to a more intense use of technology by students and teachers;
  • the level of aid was stopped for three years, and still below the average of the contributions required by schools in the territory counterparts.
It is open then (at the request of the parents) a discussion of Educational trips, which began in the Executive Committee, which has led to share the following asserzioni:
  • viene ribadito il valore didattico e "sociale" dei Viaggi di Istruzione;
  • si invita la Commissione Viaggi ad un'operazione di calmieramento di prezzi per i viaggi futuri, tenuto conto della situazione esterna di crisi economica che mette sempre più in difficoltà le famiglie;
  • si ritiene accettabile che i genitori, in sede di Consiglio di Classe, possano proporre agenzie specifiche in aggiunta a quelle a cui normalmente si riferisce la Commissione, ma si demanda comunque alla scuola il compito di richiedere preventivi, per garantire l'omogeneità dei requisiti richiesti e rendere effettivamente confrontabili i preventivi.
Un altro punto all'ordine of the day, always at the request of member parents, concerned by the recent story of 5 conduct related to the employment of the Institute (which ended with some vandalism) occurred in November in the wake of protests against the Gelmini decree. Recognizing that
:
  • 5 in the conduct is not a disciplinary measure, but a vote on the behavior of students in schools outside the normal teaching (which was not affected by employment);
  • vote of conduct is the sole ownership of the faculty member of Faculty Council, and the votes in question were decided unanimously by the board;
  • 5 in the conduct provided in the first quarter will not affect future assessments;
parents have requested, the Council, whether, in combination with voting behavior, has been made by the teachers a path of dialogue with the boys stakeholders to jointly develop the complex experience, however, as called for by the parents' open letter on the subject of employment, and do not take the risk to play the 5 as a simple punishment for busy ".

Teachers have offered ample reassurance in this regard: the path has been shared with boys and with representatives in the Class Council.
It was agreed to continue the discussion on the theme of "Respect for the law" with further action at the school, in the wake of the intervention, for example, last school year, Davide Mattiello of "Freedom", the association founded by Don Ciotti.

Another point of discussion was the recent research of the founding Agnelli that, based on the results of the university enrolled in three universities in Piedmont, has called a "ranking" of schools in Piedmont that Newton sees the first in the region and first place in the province of Turin.
The research - the first experience of its kind - highlights the excellent performance of schools "provincial" and state institutions (non-state schools have placed much less honorable).
