The class is going on a trip, the date has been set for two months: today, February 11. Destination: Sicily. Everyone will go to the educational trip of a third-grade middle school from a school in Cagliari except two students that the class council has decided not to take for “disciplinary” reasons. The families of the children involved speak of “exclusion, when a school’s duty should also be to include.”
The school instead explains that "it is not a punishment, nor an exclusion . The school regulations establish that the educational trip, as an educational and formative experience, also requires that students have reached a certain maturity and autonomy that allow them to face the trip itself safely, for all students and teachers". Maturity (emotional and social, linked to a sense of responsibility and therefore to respect for the rules) that the school believes the two students have not yet reached. And for this reason, this morning in Elmas everyone met, teachers and students of the third year of middle school, except the two students.
The “fault” of the two thirteen-year-olds ( one diagnosed with DSA, a specific learning disorder, in this case dyscalculia ), say the families, is that of having “received a couple of disciplinary notes”, five or six up until the Christmas holidays.
