School, community, justice
School makes community. In Italy, in particular, secular, public schools were born – even before the birth of Italy – as a project intended to spread national identity and as a device for social promotion. This medium worked, though in different ways throughout the years, for numerous generations, ensuring the Italian school system as one of the best teaching systems of the West. Nonetheless, for the past few decades it has no longer been functioning: the multiplication of learning programs, the rhetoric of professionalization, the strict differentiation of singular talents has led to the «crystallization of differences» – which Gramsci predicted in 1932 – concealed behind the appearance of a more democratic school.
