The crackdown on school conduct, now on its way to Parliament, does not scare students. Among the future recipients of the measure, 7 out of 10 say that more severe punishments for violent students could help.
Over half of them believe that the increase in aggression that we have been witnessing for a couple of years now is not to be found only in schools but rather in a general trend in society. This is supported by 2,000 high school students interviewed by the ANSA news agency. For 23%, contributing to the growth of the phenomenon could be a certain difficulty for this generation in obeying orders. For 21%, those who "arm the hand" of violent people could above all be parents who are too permissive. Finally, there is no shortage of those who maintain (14%) that teachers no longer have the authority they once did. If the Chamber confirms the text just approved by the Senate, the conduct grade will have its weight starting from middle school; in high school, it will be easier to fail with a 5 in "behavior."
