Minister of Ecological Transition, Roberto Cingolani does not seem to understand that, without real education, there will only be functional idiots

Roberto Cingolani, Minister of Ecological Transition current Italian Government, is not just any fool: he is not, to be clear, a baker's boy crossbowed in some department by the alternating and omnipotent freaks of fate.
It's a "normalist”, a university professor: in short, he is someone who should know what he is saying, and when and where to say it.
Having to ascertain that even someone like this can join the chorus of nonsense that rises to heaven, on the subject school educationfrankly, it makes my arms drop: on television, in fact, Cingolani said, papal papal, that studying the Punic wars four times is useless.

Three Punic Wars, times four, won't fit into an… empty noggin

And, up to this point, we can also agree with him: if one needs four passages to study three wars, the feeling that getting them into his head is a vain operation can touch you: useless, rather than desperate, effort.
However, increasing the dose, ours Minister he added that more technical culture is needed: for example, more digital managers are needed.

Gentile's "natural" option, dated 1923: we are not all the same

Now, apart from the fact that I'm not very clear what exactly a digital manager does in life, let's try to examine, with a serene mind, if possible, the evolution of the Italian school in recent decades, just to see if crawlers is he right or not.
The modern school, with us, was born with the Gentile reform of 1923: it started from the regrettable idea that not all of us were, so to speak, equivalent and interchangeable, for which the actualist philosopher imagined two different paths.
The first, the one that was supposed to forge the ruling class, revolved around the classical high school: only the Punic wars, maybe, no, but, more or less, those things there.
The other, the one, it seems, more expensive to crawlers, on the other hand, would have had to train the technicians: that is, those who know how to put into practice the ideas, perhaps a little abstract, of the former.
It didn't exactly go like this, because often, it was people who came out of the classics who became the best technicians, but so be it.

Conspiracy, fake news and xenophobia: dangerous digital mix

Montale (accountant), Quasimodo (surveyor) and two literary Nobels

The opposite occurred only in two cases, albeit striking ones: Quasimodo e Montale. The first was a surveyor, but he translated the Greek lyrics very well; the second was an accountant, however he negligently neglected bookkeeping in favor of opera.
If there was crawlers, instead of Gentile, he would have said: make way for surveyors and accountants (ie technical institutes): enough with Hannibal e Scipio! And we would have had one more surveyor and one more accountant, but a few fewer Nobel prizes. Amen.
The 1923 reform withstood the impact of the Second World War, but could do nothing against the formidable and coordinated action of the Don Milanists and the XNUMXs: under the joint blows of the I care and the forbidden to forbid, the Gentile building began to creak.

The fact is that in today's school we really don't study anymore, tout court

There were experiments, delegated decrees, assemblyism, facilitation, inclusion, up to today's school. In which perhaps the Punic wars were no longer studied: one does not study tout court.
And the soft underbelly of this reality in decay are precisely the technical institutes: licensed in the curriculum, catastrophized by a thousand laboratory disciplines, presented as wonderful in the open days and then revealed to be little more than fluff, devastated by a false idea of ​​egalitarianism so much per kilo which results in a shameful free all.
And we should focus on this, second crawlers? To an educational idea that produces button-pushing morons?

If you want to see your digital managers of tomorrow, take a stroll, at break time, in any school: you will see them, the future digital managers, each in his own bubble of neurotic solitude, each with his smartphone, typing frantically , behind some electronic game for lunatics.
Come on, crawlers, rather than uttering random apothegms about realities that he doesn't even know by hearsay. Come and take a look: I'm not kidding.
And he will see what a beautiful humanity we are building, on the basis of pseudo-educational sprawl, like his: a humanity of clones without future or past, concentrated only on a present that he does not understand, whose essence he does not even grasp, or which takes refuge in a parallel universe, made of sounds and colored lights.

The future is already here: always to be understood, never to be wasted…

Like it or not, man remains pain and nostalgia, pleasure and enthusiasm

Why does man seek happiness, crawlers: not looking for money, efficiency, productivity. It is not a cog or, at best, a machine, as in the society that you imagine: it is pain and nostalgia, pleasure and enthusiasm.
It would be enough to read a little Plato to figure it out. But she evidently doesn't understand him, because she doesn't want to understand him: he is a “normalist” who is a bit too normal.
Yet, it would be enough to take off the blindfold for five minutes, to observe the abyss towards which certain bizarre ideas are leading us.
Not ideas about school: ideas about human beings. Who, in the end, will also be a digital manager, but he will have lost his civilization, his roots, his identity: it will be just the way you want it. A functional cretin.
