how the school deals with students’ problems
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Students are generally hard working and responsible.The
majority has quite good school results, but there are also
students with excellent results; pupils attend lessons quite
regularly.
They are quite lively, but gnerally polite. However some
students, luckily a minority, are not properly helped by
their family in their school activities,usually because of a
difficult economic and social situation. That’s why the
school tries to help these students with curricular or extra-
curricular revision activities.
There are not serious behavioural problems, but the
school tries to prevent them through targeted
interventions, with the help of a psychologist or other
targeted projects.
HIGH SCHOOL
Students attending these schools are from
different social backgroujnds. Most of them belong
to families having farms or agricultural activities
and they are not so enthusiastic in studying. At
the same time it’s difficult for these families to
support their children in their school activities.
But a lot of students try to improve their
knowledges and have good school results. For
these reasons the school help students with
school extra-activities, recovery courses. Luckily
there are not so many behavioural problems
because the students are polite and respect the
school rules.

21.
positive aspects of the school
The strengths of the school are:
● the continuity vertical dimension through the
different schools, which is expressed by
different workshops between students and
common planning activities among teachers;
● the restricted context due to the small number
of students that consequently leads to an
optimal student/teacher ratio and certainly
represents an element of "advantage" for the
start of curricular innovations, which allow a
more flexible organization of learning paths;
● the good teacher stability, especially in primary
and secondary schools;

22.
● the close link between the school and the local
community plays a fundamental role;
● the knowledge of a context rich in history and
art;
● the tradition of the oil and wine production
● the grandfathers’ teaching about vegetable
garden or ancient crafts,etc.
