Today we had a presentation of our practical visits. At first I was a little bit worried because I don’t speak very good English, but I had a good group that gave me an easy part to explain. And presentation went well. In the afternoon Lone illustrated to us the educational philosophy that stands behind Denmark school’s system.
It’s stimulating to discover that among the authors we study, there is our Italian pedagogue Maria Montessori. Now I understand why the children do what they want at school: in fact they adopt the policy of laissez fair system and support the concept that children should learn through activities and through things.
The Italian kirdengarden is different: all the activities are planned, the children are compelled to do these activities, there is no other choice. Teachers are very stressed because they have classes of 15 children each and they have to satisfy the different needs of different children. On the contrary, in Danish Institute there are a lot of teachers and pedagogues helping each others and taking care for the children.
It’s so unbelievable! You can find schools in the forest where parents bring their children and they are not worried about that: it’s just amazing, great, magnificent! In Italy a thing like that would not be possible: parents are overly anxious about their children and they transfer all their concerns and worries to the teachers and sometimes they even doubt their professionalism . I’m every day more convinced that I would prefer to work here than to work in Italy and face our disappointing reality.
