"Most of the schools [...] is in ruins, as are the homes of children who attend them. Those children are now scattered around the country. This is a tragedy. But it is also an opportunity to radically reform the educational system, "Milton Friedman
Uncle Milt, known modern proponent of genocide in Latin America (see: Chile and Argentina), in these few lines, although related to Hurricane that destroyed New Orleans, summed up everything that is happening to education in our country.
in a hypothetical parallel, with the New Orleans education reform Friedman and the Chicago School have privatized entire public buildings: the billions of dollars intended to restore the existing public school system have been converted into bonus (our current Gelmini Card) for students, then be spent in the ex-public schools now for profit, processed and managed by private entities (our current 'reform' the university) that have begun to follow a logic of enterprise and market.
education is so diverse, the boys 'around the country' no longer have had the opportunity to access a ' free education and equal for all . teachers have lost their bargaining power and the freedom of teaching and where they do not have adapted to new demands have been made redundant , if only for a range of thought.
with the gradual privatization the school has become the largest source of inequality .
when public school is considered an interference in the economic system, to become market opportunities in times of crisis , must call things by their name: no more then dl 133/2008 or 'reform' or Gelmini decree, but opportunities for financial speculation on human rights.
ps: the 'Friedman method' also led to regimes, death and torture.
