Communication in formal and traditional school? School in crisis

"But what they never did the boys, adolescents, youths and young men from six up to ten to fifteen to twenty twenty-four years to close so many times of the day in your white galleys to suffer their bodies and flaws their brains? ... With such treacherous
excuses you allow yourself to diminish their pleasure and their freedom nell’età più bella della vita e di compromettere per sempre la freschezza e la sanità della loro intelligenza? Non venite fuori colla grossa artiglieria della retorica progressista: le ragioni della civiltà, la educazione dello spirito, l’avanzamento del sapere…Noi sappiamo con assoluta certezza che la civiltà non è venuta fuor dalle scuole e che le scuole intristiscono gli animi invece di sollevarli e che le scoperte decisive della scienza non son nate dall’insegnamento pubblico ma dalla ricerca solitaria disinteressata e magari pazzesca di uomini che spesso non erano stati a scuola o non v’insegnavano.
Sappiamo ugualmente e con la stessa certezza che la scuola, essendo per sua necessità formale e traditionalist, very often contributed to petrify the knowledge stubborn obstructionism and delay with the most urgent reforms and revolutions intellettuali.Soltanto by chance and coincidence - collect so many people! - The school may be the laboratory for new verità.Essa is not, by its nature, a creation, a spiritual body but a simple and practical tool. Knowledge but does not invent it has to send it. It fails to perform well even in the latter office - because it sends the wrong or transmitting to prevent most of the time, dried and twisted the brains receptors, the formation of new knowledge and migliori.Le other schools, therefore, are not more che reclusori per minorenni istituiti per soddisfare a bisogni pratici e prettamente borghesi…
Libertà per imparare veramente qualcosa perché non s’impara nulla d’importante dalle lezioni ma soltanto dai grandi libri e dal contatto personale colla realtà. Nella quale ognuno s’inserisce a modo suo e sceglie quel che gli è più adatto invece di sottostare a quella manipolazione disseccatrice e uniforme ch’è l’insegnamento.
Nelle scuole, invece, abbiamo la reclusione quotidiana in stanze polverose piene di fiati – l’immobilità fisica più antinaturale – l’immobilità dello spirito obbligato a ripetere invece che a cercare – lo sforzo disastroso to learn with lots of useless idiots methods - systematic drowning of every personality, originality and initiative in the sea of \u200b\u200bblack uniforms
programs ... The school does much more harm than good to the brain in training. He teaches a lot of useless things, then you have to unlearn to learn that many other self ...
accustomed men to believe that all the wisdom of the world consists of printed books ...
teaches evil because it teaches all the same things in the same manner and the same amount not taking into account the infinite diversity of talent, race, social background, age, etc. ... needs
should shut the schools - all schools. From first to last ... ..
You will find a way to know (and know better and in less time) without having to sacrifice the best years of life on the benches of semiprigioni government. "Giovanni Papini

Supposed To Start Period Today





... from the school and outside it suffers greatly the evolution of the other training agencies: the crisis of the educational function of the family, the growing importance of new communication technologies which make it appear obsolete and inadequate schooling ...

.. the crisis of the Italian school is in deep crisis because of her role and soul of the role is no longer relevant because its original function as a collective learning in a culture ..., and soul, because we do not know what value-foundations basic school is required - and able - to give the younger generation ...

If so complex is the crisis in order to deal with it, have a strategy ... 'Begin at the bottom »..." (Giuseppe De Rita)

School


In the consumer society homo consumens is existentially concerned to be and remain in the flock, to belong and be recognized by the pack. It 's the same pack that requires the "mode" and the new totem of the youth movement ( Zygmunt Bauman ). In this modern

liquid you live extreme forms of intolerance towards any kind of frustration, because people are unable to cope with any delay of gratification, it's everything at once, expanding the present as unique as possible, to pay the price is above the School , archaic nineteenth-century structure that survives floating like a prehistoric dinosaur doomed to extinction.

Life is constantly moving, they are still unmet needs, continue the search for pleasure, insatiable obsessive compulsive search for gratification.
Young students do not find answers in the cramped classrooms, teaching off without missing a da docenti, ormai immigrati digitali .
E’ il prevalere del virtuale sul reale, ( giovani che preferiscono il videogico che simula uno sport rispetto ad vera e propria partita magari di basket, tutto ciò per esaltare il mito della partecipazione, è più divertente partecipare alla partita rispetto al vederla ).

Il desiderio si trasforma in esigenza compulsiva, il sé lascia il posto alle personalità e identità multiple, l' incalzare del web con i suoi narcisismi digitali irrompe creando il culto dell’immagine, è la tirannia dell’istante e il bisogno di comunicare comunque e ovunque ( connect always ).
Anche la socialità subisce il passaggio a forme di aggregazione per sciami e non per gruppi, disgregando la normale quotidianità scolastica fatta di orari, sequenzialità, rigidità.
Il disagio che si crea e che si vive sfocia nei ripetuti fenomeni di bullismo , che altro non sono che segnali appunto di una SCUOLA LIQUIDA , inadatta alle nuove generazioni ( digital native ).

Pochi se ne se accorti, altri gridano la fine della scuola, altri inneggiano ad una scuola senza libri,aule e voti, e intanto si galleggia.
In questa “rivoluzione” che parte dal basso troverà la nostra “modernità” risposte adeguate ?

Liquid Generation Q



"... the Quiet Generation , in the best sense of that term, quietly pursuing their idealism, at home and abroad.But Generation Q may be too quiet, too online, for its own good, and for the country’s own good."( Thomas Friedman )



La Net Generation è costituita da individui troppo apatici, passivi e computerizzati, le rivoluzioni non si combattono nel mondo virtuale ma nelle piazze, dal vivo ...


"Mettete da parte le email, le petizioni online e i click del mouse e organizzatevi,dal virtual to the real "thunder Friedman





There are forces flattening the world including:



  • standards based on other standards, the ' ultrastandrad as XML, AJAX that allows machines to communicate each other via the Web without any human intervention

  • Uploading and comunity power, as in the software community Developed in blogging / podcasting, wikipedia, in-forming, which accentuate sfernato a desire to participate and make their prefrerire item arriving to the virtual real who prefer the videogame that simulates a sport than actual game maybe basketball, everything to enhance the myth of participation (parteciapre the game is more fun than to see it)




  • digital, mobile comunication, filesharing, VoIP / SoIP, wireless, engines talk to computers, talking to computers, talking to people, and while this happens many people ask who they are talking with a human or a machine ... ?
