We support what has been written by teachers of high school in Pisa

The reform of secondary education proceeds in stages forced to enter into force in the school from 2009 to 2010.
But it is a real reform?
We are teachers of high school "U. Dini ", Pisa, that since the '70s has put in place a process of renewal and experimentation that allowed him to" wear "with good reason the adjective that describes it: a trial of Sciences, the introduction of the Plan National Computer for Mathematical Physics first and then to have built a framework that time has tried to remedy the serious imbalance exists in the school Gentile between the humanities and scientific knowledge, in order to provide students with a preparing complete and responsive to the demands of today's society, strongly imbued with scientific culture. All this happened without sacrificing the feature of high school, that is, without changing the system curve to the school's cultural objectives and interests most applications, but instead a kind of foreshadowing outgoing student ready to continue their studies at the University at both scientific humanities.
The "reform" that awaits us is destined to destroy all this: the seventeen hours per week that our school will disappear in five years will be twelve of science (the painting of the time period will increase from 27 to 32 hours per week, that del triennio da 32/33 a 30). Sparirà dal biennio del liceo l'insegnamento della Fisica che il PNI prevedeva, si perderà un'ora di Matematica in ciascuna classe del triennio, e subiranno tagli anche le Scienze (tre ore settimanali nell'arco del quinquennio). Si tornerà al grigiore di un liceo scientifico simile a quello gentiliano, con la differenza che quello fu istituito nel 1923, quando forse non era così palese, come invece è oggi, il bisogno di cultura scientifica per il nostro Paese.
Nessuno potrebbe affermare che oggi si possa fare a meno di una crescita rapida e diffusa della conoscenza scientifica, non solo per i valori di spirito critico, libertà di opinione, rispetto della razionalità che essa porta con sé, but also for the implications in terms of welfare, economic opportunity, dignity at the international level that follow from it. This common opinion does not correspond to any of the schools that the reform proposal puts forward.
We believe in fact that Italy will miss a scientific school of public good, will close permanently and without submitting it to critical scrutiny all the trials, those useless, but also useful and necessary, which were such as PNI. There are two possible outcomes: a country that reduces its scientific background media, already lower than in many other countries, or a country that passes through its schools of their scientific excellence, but not public.
Neither of these two alternatives we like. We ask those who have the power to decide the fate of the school to reflect on the step you are about to do and to think of different assumptions.
