School, Usr Lazio rejects derogation on double schedule Avogadro, the Headmaster: “I’m sorry”

The intervention with the Lazio regional school office of Katia Tedeschi, head teacher of the Avogadro scientific high school in the capital, was of no use. derogation from the double time slot. But the regional school office rejected the request to the sender. “We did not have the exemption because the percentage of the student population who had declared to take public transport (17 percent) seems to be the average of all schools”, announces the Dean to Adnkronos who takes the opportunity to urge the Ministry on another front: “We need clarity, certain answers, guidelines on the obligation of the Green pass to students in the external curricular activities of which the school lives, which must be free, while the swabs are not. We do not want to discriminate between those who is vaccinated and who is not, so we are reducing external activities to a minimum “. As for the double band, “an internal survey showed that only 17% of our students use public transport to get to school, a much lower percentage than what we found to be the regional average, at least pre-covid “, says the Manager. But apparently “it is the average of all schools. For this reason we did not have the exemption. The USR has evaluated it on the basis of the parameters available to it. And he wrote: ‘I confirm that the percentage of students in your high school who uses public transport is not very different from the average considered by Atac and Rome mobility services in the simulations that led the prefectural table to take note of the need to establish two entrance brackets’ – reports Tedeschi reading the response of the director of the ‘Regional school office – I do not want to comment – he says – Probably the average considered is so low because families tend to accompany the children fearing contagion on public transport. But we are talking about 200 students. A few hundred children can upset the balance? I am very sorry and in solidarity with my students and their families. On the program, in an attempt to stem the growing unease of the student body, the Director of Avogadro announces the presentation to the school council on November 10th of a series of corrective measures. Among the options, “the reduction of the hours with an early exit of twenty / thirty minutes by virtue of autonomy; entry at 8 the classes with more school time, such as the Cambridge high school or mathematician classes or all fifths, which need study time in view of the maturity and the thirds, who entered at 10 last year. We also did a survey to listen to all the school components on how to shift the income at 9.40, evaluating the hypothesis of twice a week for the second two years (third and fourth); three times a week for the first two years (first and second); always at 8 in the fifth “.
