I invite you to reflect on some quotes from Francesco Tonucci
"... the Teachers should take advantage of moments of freedom and play of the guys to watch, see aspects of his character and attitude in class usually are not revealed. (...) Not to use against them, but to know more. "
" The kids have to come to school with pockets full, not empty, and take their skills to work in the classroom. (...) The work begins by giving the floor to the children. First move the child only after the teacher. The teacher has to know what children know before they act, because if it comes before, sure it hurts. (...) If they were heard, children may bring to school their own thinking. Typically, a child who has a practical intelligence, deft hands and can take apart a motor, for the school is worthless. It obviously only if you are developing data. That classification makes no sense. This selective attitude, that there are few major languages \u200b\u200band others are worthless, leading children to fail. "
" The school uses the distrust and that produces a negative evaluation based on what the guy does not can do. Based on what she knows to do good, the school should motivate you to recover and win what is not a conquest. (...) The school transmissive means that a child not know and going to school to learn, while the teacher teaches those who do not know. That's a childish idea, thinking the child as an empty glass, while the teacher pours knowledge to fill the child gradually. (...) The child knows and is competent and going to school to develop their knowledge. "
" The school should be able to read the concrete reality that surrounds the child. The geography is its neighborhood, the history of his family. "
" The Birth of Western democracies and industrial development of the school require basic training, a mass literacy. Demand it, because if democracy means popular management power, every citizen can participate in it as far as the availability of instruments to learn, express themselves, discuss. "
" The school does not change, continues to be a complement, though the selection remains shifted to the higher levels, institutes, universities and work, raises the percentage of functional illiteracy, ie the number of those who never used cultural instruments proposed by the elementary school: reading and writing. "
" The problem is deeper and continues to fester under the various structural forms and methodological : the school of all has not become school for all ".
" Now everyone goes to school are far fewer who can find in your family the necessary bases-cultural models.
"A school that really wants to be a school and for everyone must be concerned to offer those bases around the world, those motivations those cultural models needed to build a body of knowledge, skills, skills ".
" Paradoxically, we could say that succeed in school who do not. The school, which should help to introduce equality among citizens, on the contrary feeding differences. "
" In the school has not changed anything because it has been left completely outside this process of transformation to the teachers. "
" Our school now lives in virtually " illegality ", the inability to enforce its own rules and with the fear that new ones appear even more advanced."
"Real reform of the school should be born of those who work in it, as demand for new levels professionals, for construction which all energies should be used now available.
"A project that looks to the future, towards the XXI century should consider three aspects: a) The role of the school and its relationship to external reality; b) The school method: teaching-learning relationship; c) The teacher: its function and formation. "
"The school assumes the role of an educational institution par excellence, extending its duration and multiple objects and actions. The schools are asking families to give more and to compensate the family and social deficiencies. The school becomes a place of socialization, recovery, therapy ... "
"The teacher is not knowledge but the mediator of knowledge ".
" The school enjoys the diversity. The different points of view are the indispensable motor of educational action: show contrasts or contradictions , requesting comparison progressive deepening later.

"Students should participate in school management," says Tonucci
To improve education we should not enact new laws or reform programs, but give them more power and responsibility to students. It holds the prestigious teacher Italian Francesco Tonucci, which advised "best teachers" but, above all, put the students in the center of the scene and delegate tasks and duties that may impact even in school governance.
Invited by the Council for Catholic Education ( Consudec ), where he lectured on "The role of children in times of crisis," once again brought the country its renewed ideas, trying to link more directly what happens in school everyday.
argues well that "if children are actively involved in management and in making school decisions, as the stipulation of the rules that apply during breaks, the child will not feel a slave but a free and sovereign citizen, one of the objectives to be pursued in a democratic school. "
"The school can not destroy what the child knows," said Tonucci , speaking to THE NATION learning about ways more desirable in the classroom, including the Italian educator includes entertainment . "Reading books aloud to children is one of time better spent in school," says this educator and artist, 66, graduated in Pedagogy in Milan and whose books With eyes as a child, the city of children and when children say Basta! are required reading among those who retain a passion for teaching.
