A misunderstanding

Last Saturday, in my high school, some teachers have after school distributed a leaflet presenting the main points of the Reform and Gelmini invited to attend a meeting of clarification. Today, three days later, a group of students, in the wake of its teachers, has sent a sheet explaining that they feel "led by the nose by those who use old ideological systems and an arrogant demagogues to distort the reality," using words which obviously do not know meaning, and continue bringing the entire text of the decree in question. This is an example of misunderstanding has arisen in Italy in relation to this issue. In fact, few people know that the cuts to education and some of the most critical points are not in the Gelmini decree, approval in the Senate, but in the 2009 Budget, which has been approved long ago. This big misunderstanding depends primarily on the majority of politicians, left and right, which echoed one another saying that the decree applies only to primary school (which is true) but do not explain why there are dozens of thousands of students and teachers to the streets to demonstrate, but also depends on mass media that are not doing their job by providing real information, but show various views of politicians, only creating more confusion in public opinion. In fact, if people knew what really is the whole reform, no one would dream of being in favor, as you just need a little 'common sense to realize that the country is not in need of these laws. A single teacher in elementary school would only mean a recession in decades ago, when there were not many disciplines that are needed today, such as English, computer science, art and music education. Budget cuts in schools and universities are unrealistic, because the cuts are of future generations, who will no longer count on a strong enough education. A reduction of only mean more hardship for working parents and those who do not know who to entrust their children. It should however also note a positive element in the reform, which is the teaching of civic education and especially the Constitution, although it is somewhat ironic that this government to propose such a project. Therefore, it is hoped that these laws are first explained to the citizens and then withdrawn by popular acclaim, as they are by no means necessary and tend to only make things worse.
