The image is very representative, it indicates a role, the fundamental one of the woman as a mother. She represents the center of the universe for her child. In this tragic moment due to the pandemic, the mother is also called to carry out another mission, perhaps the most important, that of the teacher! And where someone has failed, mom it must succeed, without if and without but, for the primary good of its child.
Unfortunately, no one's fault, the school had to adapt to a sudden change. Your teacher has become a live video streaming to a tablet, the textbook is replaced by cards and video clips and the teaching becomes "reluctantly“, Just a mere assignment of tasks!
So underlines in one point the Prot. Note 388 of March 17, 2020 of the Miur
If we were to continue with the DAD, due to the emergency of Covid 19, any of our small conquests made over time would be lost in an instant. Working mothers would lose their job, conquered with so much effort, because they are forced to assist their children, especially those of first grade who are entering the compulsory school for the first time in their life. This is because, at the moment, there seems to be no other way out! We have been deprived of any form of freedom…. blame? I think it's not all Covid 19!

The movement Priority to school, organized a simultaneous mobilization for tomorrow at 15,30 pm in 16 Italian cities (in Rome in front of the Ministry of Education) to ask for schools to be reopened safely after the lockdown, giving priority to face-to-face and not remote teaching. Students of all ages, parents and teachers will participate.
The event has been authorized and the organizers expect a large number of participants respecting the use of the mask and attention to distances: "With our April letter in which we asked that the school be given the right priority, we collected 85 thousand signatures, but the minister. Lucia Azzolina, never replied - explains the Roman organizer, Cristìna Tagliabue -. Now someone will have to listen to us ".
