On 20/03/2009 at 17.30, after meeting the President of the European parents met at the Great Hall of the Newton High School parents' representatives in almost all, some parents representatives and two members of the Board of the Institute.
The topics were as follows:
Obsolescence computer that came with the computer lab Section High School Multimedia
representatives of classes to address the classic media have exposed the need to revamp the computer supplied to the laboratory that address. In summary, the hardware currently provided does not allow the installation of latest versions of software. This would not only prevent students the opportunity to obtain a European license and be able to update programs using the most advanced performance contrasts with the assessment of excellence that offers high school, recently confirmed by the prestigious position obtained in the ranking of colleges compiled by the Foundation Lambs. Noted that the Council of the Institute is the educational body that has decision-making about the allocation of available funds, and the only person entitled to raise any funds externally, it is requested that this topic be included in the order of day of the next School Council and to that end, in order to shorten as much as possible, teachers will be required prior to the component (in particular to Prof. Fontana) report a technical / economical on the subject.
Communication problems
Parents complain about lack of communication and, in some cases within the class (parents-parents), both in general by the school against the representatives of the parents (school parents). The Committee therefore calls on the School Leadership parents to be more organized communication with families. In particular, in the case of families with separated parents, upon request on their part, it requires that communications and information, and the required signature to any authorization, to arrive both parents, while respecting the principle of bi- parenting.
reform school
Il comitato genitori esorta tutti i genitori a tenersi informati sulla futura riforma della scuola superiore, il cui decreto attuativo è previsto nei prossimi mesi estivi. Esistono (in Piemonte e in Italia) molti comitati genitori che possono fornire informazioni e opinioni sul tema: si segnalano in particolare i siti Coordinamento Genitori Torino , Coordinamento genitori democratici , Associazione Genitori e Scuola , Comitati Genitori .
Gite scolastiche – Viaggi d’istruzione
I Parents complain that there is always a little information about the assessments and educational reasons that lead to the choice of a particular destination rather than another. Often we tend to prefer foreign capitals, especially in the two years, at the expense of interesting Italian cities that would probably cost less to households (especially those who have more children to please).
The Committee, however, ask that a meeting with members of the special Commission Travel, will propose:
- advance to select a shortlist of possible destinations, so as to prevent leakage and loss of time;
- to communicate any chosen destination representatives and parents at the first Board of Class
- to explain the educational rationale that determined the choice.
Possibility of using the library room during the hours when no classes are held
Noting that the students (such as those exempt from the time of religion) to spend time the "hour-hole" not in a specific place and identified, but often in the corridors or the stairs of the Institute, the Parents' Committee requires that students, in such cases can use the premises of the school library. You are then requested a meeting with the Library Commission to discuss the need to ensure a suitable space for students to spend profitably and safely this time.
The committee plans to organize at least one follow-up meeting before the end of the school year in order to monitor developments and solutions of the above.
THE PRESIDENT: Leo Ariemma
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Annamaria Memmo
