The problem is a radical reform of school: right and Vaticano tried to impose private structures same plane of pubblic school, reducing financings but students, not theachers, stopped the project. Now trade unions have signed a shameful agreement, wether economical than rulel but teachers rejected it so all is still treating and I am waiting a hot september; but the category is politically feeble , corporative and age so only students' struggle can help us, I thing. The freedom of teaching is written in italian costitution and I have no-limits, and nay in last years I often use chemistry to talk about racism, nazism and fascism to students who haven't a clear idea about it. PDS and new left propose a mhodel of US school, with large autonomy of single institute joint-veture with private firms to improve economy and to make better structures. I defend pubblic schools like central problem of democracy and development cultural and thecnical of society. By Nello --- from list marxism-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- ------------------
