Despite their tender age, the children of the De Filippo elementary school in Santa Maria la Carità are already directed to study canon law and administrative law.
Are they already ahead of the curve? Are they academic geniuses? No, it's simply a lack of classrooms, and the mayor of the small town in the Castellammare hinterland has decided to hold lessons for young students in the church and in some of the town hall's rooms.
A truly traumatic start to the school year for elementary school students in Santa Maria la Carità. The situation is fueling controversy on social media but also protests from parents who meet the mayor and city administrators on the street every day.
The institution has received numerous requests for authorization from parents who have taken their children away. Based on a rough estimate, the institution will open next year with an entire section reduced.
A container in the city complex was demolished due to structural deficiencies, resulting in the loss of 13 classrooms.

All this will continue until October 1st, the deadline for the school's single-shift schedule, which will then switch to double shifts. Parents are up in arms against the mayor, Giosuè D'Amora, who had promised a quick solution that, in reality, hasn't materialized.
Inconveniences for students and families, however, who in the morning have to accompany the little ones to church or to the town hall for lessons. Very particular lessons and distant from the true meaning of this word because, in the case of the church, however open to all and therefore, under the control of teachers and collaborators, in church one prays and studies.
