Maria Prodi presents her book with these words: "It is teachers who usually talk about school when among friends. And those who listen are other teachers. For the general public, it is a rather boring topic, oscillating between the obvious and the catastrophic. Obvious, because everyone thinks they know exactly what school should do, regardless of their profession and preparation. Because everyone went to school as a young person, and therefore at least holds the title of a connoisseur of the subject. But at the same time catastrophic, because everyone is convinced that since school produces that curious product known as people and their learning, there is no social problem of which school is not a near or distant cause. And there is no problem that school should not solve. Which would also be desirable, but when it comes to asking how, things get complicated. However, I still try to talk about school, education, young people, and families. It is easier for me to talk about it than not to talk about it, to write about it than not to write about it.”
Introduced by Michele Malfer, minority provincial councillor, conducted by Tiziano Silviaterra, associate professor of Economic Statistics at the University of Trento, former provincial assessor for Education
