Covid has transformed people's lives and especially the lives of students. The School had to reinvent itself and it was not easy to adapt. Apathy and depression have assailed some students, but we need to overcome insecurities and handle emotions with confidence.
How to teach young people to plan
If there is a need, a commitment must arise: you have to work and convince yourself that you can succeed. And, with this behavior, you are almost always able to achieve what you set out to do. This optimism - proven by the reality of experience - arises from necessity, from need, from what one feels when the choice is the right one. What has happened to the Italian school with Covid is not only a set of limits and restrictions, but also, and above all, an open field, an unexplored slice of the world of possibilities thrown wide open precisely because of the crisis we have had to face. The reassuring attitude, the optimism, we need in order to move forward with serenity, at a time when the student hardly finds anyone who can say a positive or even comforting word about school; what one sees depends on one's point of view, and in order to see it, one has to change one's point of view. So you try, change your point of view for a moment. This is not about the moralism of those who would like the problems to be instantly reduced at the mere thought of "there are those who are worse off." On the contrary, we need to rationalize what is happening and put everything in perspective. No to absolutist circumscription of anti-Covid school organization, no to loss of freedom and a boring school that is detrimental to the mental health of children.
Definitely not the ideal school, and certainly many young people have suffered in different ways.
We need to think of this period as an opportunity to review the school curriculum, the educational function of the school and, introduce the attainment of skills other than the goals set by the National Directions.
It could be an opportunity to organize life skills education, which does not mean giving up the school of knowledge, rather crossing it to indirectly develop life skills as well. Let's try to start from the desires expressed by adolescents, ask them what they would like to do, where they would like to go, and help them get there by fabricating together affectionate cartographies of knowledge in which to position a world that is in constant and sudden transformation.
