At the meeting, which saw good participation of parents, there were also parents of first year students, in particular for the latter The outgoing President briefly outlined the composition and function of the Committee, and his (brief) history. They were taken to the great lines of the main topics covered in the previous year, as is provided by an item on the agenda. In particular, he expressed deep appreciation for the imminent renewal of personal computers that came with the computer lab of the classic, I welcome the decision to resort to leasing rather than purchasing.
It is then passed to address the following agenda items:
Election of President and Vice President
As required by the Statute of the Committee, each year we proceed with the renewal of the charges.
E 'was re-elected President Ariemma Leone, and was elected Vice President Marina Cornaglia and Patrick Azzoni.
A heartfelt thanks to Anna who leaves his position as Memmo
Courses recovery
Starting from already made last year (see report on the subject) in the parents' committee are still two convictions: firstly, the need for remedial courses, the other strong doubts about their effectiveness. In this regard, it was explained to the parents present the phenomenon of absenteeism by praying to raise awareness among families on the topic in the Class Council.
Another aspect that emerged is that the courses, as well as set up, students share a little bit, while some try to address their shortcomings, others who are not involved in course of recovery could interpret those days as a little vacation. Given that the courses can not be made mandatory for these students, however, could be an interesting experiment involving them in a sort of "team work". In essence, the more prepared students could serve as a tutor of their companions, as long as this is considered useful and feasible by teachers. In our view, this approach will not only engage the "hours-hole" of those who are not required to attend the course, would be a real application of values \u200b\u200b(solidarity, availability, social work, etc. ..) is strongly transmitted from families that by the school. This type of commitment could possibly be considered for the award of credits or whatever would be a source of self-gratification for the most prepared and put them in a position to acquire or improve, if they already possess this quality, their ability transfer of information (a very different thing from having acquired the concepts) that in today's world is very important.
In essence, the Committee asks the directors if the idea can be adopted and tested in classrooms and, if so, to invite the teachers to convey the coordinators of the initiative explaining the reasons and benefits that can accrue to all (students assisted and assistants).
mode of allocation of credits
It has been argued that the current method of calculation and allocation of credits "penalize" those who have excellent academic results and therefore, are at already at the maximum of the fluctuation band of the points of school credit.
However, both because the issue is already addressed in the School Council, and because it touches (unfortunately) a very limited number of students is not expected to further deepen the discussion with the leadership
However, what has emerged, linked to this discourse, is that there seems to be enough disparities in the use of the range of votes by teachers belonging to the same department. The Committee therefore calls for the leadership
Education Travel
Particularly for multi-day trips to places abroad, last year had been expressly asked to receive communication from the first board of class about the planned withdrawals: a manner, the reasons for the choice of goals and maybe even cost ...
It seems, however, that this was done in a few classes.
Once again, the invitation to the teachers responsible for communicating to the families as expeditiously as possible all these aspects, explaining the cultural-educational project that leads to the choice of a goal rather than another.
addition, consistent with the curriculum and for deepening the same, the Committee suggests organizing several branches in Piedmont. The latter, in fact, offers many in-depth insights on topics both scientific (and non-renewable energy, waste management, industrial plants, etc. ..) and humanities (various exhibitions on specific themes temporary or permanent).
Although perhaps because students are less like a little sin 'playful appearance, the benefits of this type of outputs are substantial: greater knowledge del territorio nei suoi aspetti ambientali, produttivi e culturali; maggior consapevolezza di realtà che spesso non sono visibili dal “pianeta scuola” e, perché no, costi abbastanza contenuti.
Il Comitato presenterà alla Direzione un elenco di uscite che rispondano ai requisiti suddetti.
Infine, si è espresso apprezzamento per la gita di “socializzazione” effettuata da alcune prime classi nell’ambito del progetto ‘accoglienza’: un’iniziativa da ripetere!
Comunicazione scuola famiglie
Also this year, both for the communication of election day, both for the convening of the class councils, the system of SMS and email has had some flaw, as not all have been advised correctly.
The Committee will raise awareness
attention is drawn to the Institute on the theme of both parents: regarding communication with families should be put in place the ratio of the new regulations, in the case of separated parents, requires the signatures of both.
Laboratories
As anticipated at the beginning we welcomed the impending modernization of the computer lab, as well as recent investments in the language labs (interactive whiteboards).
Taking a little 'the ranks of what was discussed last year with the ice
E 'absolutely correct that the workshops are one element on which the institution aims to promote the stage with final year students of primary schools on appeal, but must then, subsequently, not to disappoint expectations of those who signed up perhaps attracted by this kind of experience (lesson in the lab).
Several possible
Some parents asked for an explanation about the present "recovery" of the time differential between the time of 60 minutes time "school" of 50 minutes.
Some teachers (10 minutes by adding up the number) have extra lessons on Saturday mornings, others have set a 6 ^ hours in a few days at the end of "ordinary class" to perform searches, etc. ...
We would like to learn more about how this is regulated "recovery" actually exists una regola da applicare o è a discrezione dell’insegnante come e se effettuare il recupero dei 10 minuti in meno di lezione per ogni ora d’insegnamento?
Il Comitato Genitori Newton ringrazia
La prossima riunione verrà convocata verso la fine del mese di gennaio 2010.
PRESIDENTE: Leone Ariemme
SECRETARY: Monica Sappa
