A new serious episode of violence against the school’s teaching staff occurred this time at the Paciolo-D’Annunzio high school in Fidenza. The parent of a student punched a teacher in the face, who required medical attention. At the origin of the aggression there would be arguments originating from the violent behavior carried out at school by the child of the violent parent. The episode shook the Fidentina school community. A banner condemning the violence was displayed in the high school and the principal Ciro Marconi wrote an open letter in which he condemned what happened, also reporting what was contained in the signs displayed “after having reflected with his teachers about the bad episode, which occurred a few days ago inside the school, which saw the physical and verbal aggression of one of our teachers by a parent”.

“A very serious fact which damaged not only the dignity of the teacher involved, but the very dignity of our entire school. And whoever committed this violence will be held accountable before the law. We all want together, school staff, students and families, to affirm that this is not acceptable. Violence in all its forms cannot and must not find space within the school”.
“In that wicked gesture – continues Marconi – in an instant all the words were cancelled, all the thoughts annihilated, all the values eliminated, which are the very essence of the education and education that we are committed to transmitting. But the school, even if hurt, cannot abdicate its task After the initial shock and so much anger at the wrong suffered, we started doing and being school again: to draw an important lesson even from a bad episode, reflecting together with the students. our boys on the importance of respect and rejection of any violence as the foundation of any relationship, and even more so of the educational relationship between teachers and students, between school and family”.
