22 December 2019 A teacher from Sondrio went to the Carabinieri in recent days to denounce that some girls, through a Whatsapp group of students in the class where he teaches, have heavily insulted her, an attitude then continued also in person in class, as well as via the internet . It was a friend who had warned the chat woman where there were comments on the posts she put online.

The teacher says she is ready to withdraw the complaint for cyberbullying if she receives an apology written by the students, not yet of age, of the high school in
to which he works with an annual contract: "I am willing to forgive and withdraw the complaint - he explained -. But under two specific conditions: that those responsible for the incident ask me in writing and acknowledge that they were wrong with their gesture. Then, obviously, I hope to have the possibility to be able to continue teaching in the classes that have been entrusted to me in this school year ".

Before arriving at the complaint, the teacher had turned to the management of the school, which would have invited her to leave the class that targeted her, while the principal has undertaken to carry out the necessary checks to maintain the regularity of the lessons and protect both the teacher and the students.

A trade union question
However, the teacher is ready to turn to the unions to protect her workplace. He does not want to give up teaching and not even the class of girls he denounced. The director of the provincial school office of Sondrio, Fabio Molinari, also intervened on the case, called into question by the principal.

He believes, the administrator explained, that "from a disciplinary point of view, the matter should be dealt with by my office".

"I would like to clarify that, to date - added Molinari -, there has been no modification of the teacher 's existing contract. As regards the question that would concern the students, I believe it must be addressed within an institutional context such as that of the school class council. " In the meantime, the principal sent Molinari a report, which the administrator is preparing to evaluate "together with my legal department".
