"Ah yes, yes, you're home from school. Beautiful day! ": This is one of the likely responses that could give any young Italian if he were asked what is celebrated on April 25. The thought seems impossible and even a bit 'scary to think that there are teenagers who surf in ignorance of the meaning of such an important occasion for our country. And this is just an example of the emptiness that are falling gradually many of the historically fundamental holidays. Why? A matter of generations. Young people today do not know the past, and is therefore not surprising that they do not know the future. Needless to blame them, they do what they can to get into the adult world and, in a nutshell, to understand how the toy. Lodoli Mark writes about: "Sometimes at school the teachers are amazed at the arrogance of this, the only active time in the minds of many boys. A thousand stories and the many people that we should be grateful for what they still make us understand, are finally dead and buried. There is no hope that they can speak again and tell. " Well, those who criticize it for this? Parents of adolescents who have not submitted a sufficient love for the culture to their children? Not entirely. The boys themselves, filled with notions memorized by guides of dubious quality, who do not know the real life outside of school? Absolutely not. The main culprit of this massacre is the modern school, unable to provide models of behavior-based culture. It is understood easily by saying that education is the responsibility of the family, but if it comes to history, culture, and discourses of pages that should help them for life, then the balance of power lies with the school establishment. What is taught students the dates of certain events and the names of some historical figures, though not really know what you're talking about? I remember a lesson on Henry VIII held by a professor in London. He asked us, after making us read a dozen papers written by contemporaries of the sovereign and that concerned his person, idea that we had made on him. I thought, amazed as my traveling companions, my peers, "This is the way it should be made history." Even in Italy. Live witnesses, although we are talking about centuries ago to draw useful lessons for life. Learn by heart the words of the user as if they were gospel? No thanks, I prefer to get an idea of \u200b\u200blife knowing the history through the documents and information on current, rather than having the satisfaction of lean holding in his hands a piece of paper with the words "Secondary School Diploma."
