School, we start today with new rules. A march forward but also with retroactivity value.
The website of the Ministry of Education has clarified one of the main doubts of parents and teachers: the new indication on the five-day quarantine period “also applies to subjects who, on the date of entry into force of the decree-law of February 4, 2022, 5, ie as of February 5, 2022, have already been subjected to this measure without it having yet ceased or have been in quarantine for at least five days. ”
In the classroom today, therefore, approximately 600,000 students of all types should return and degree together with their school leaders who do not hide doubts and perplexities: “We are concerned because there are contradictions between some provisions of the decree law, others of the Ministry of Health and Education, still others of the Regions”. And precisely on the school knot from the pages of La Stampa, Agostino Miozzo – coordinator at the beginning of the CTS pandemic and then consultant to Minister Bianchi – intervened harshly, affirming that these are unmanageable rules: “Kids are right to protest, if I had 50 years less I would take to the streets too. We are putting a lead ball at their feet. ”
Miozzo then added: “Discrimination in school between those who are vaccinated and those who are not and do not like it. We must avoid it by using constant monitoring through swabs for which we must certainly understand that we are in an emergency and that in schools when we come out of the coronavirus emergency we will pass to a social emergency that will see anger and protest explode “. dad explained that “it must become an extraordinary moment, it cannot be a ploy to tackle ancient problems. In addition to dad, we talk about dad and mixed didactics, and something bizarre. ”
