A short shirt and too many words. She is addressed in the well-known Righi scientific high school in Rome for a sentence addressed by a teacher to a pupil, ‘caught’ while she was making a video in class on TikTok, the platform used by very young people to upload mini movies. ‘Are you on Salaria?’, The teacher would have ventured after seeing the improvised set in the classroom and the girl’s shirt that she – in her opinion – discovered more than allowed in the school environment.
Heavy words also because the toponymic reference is to a street known in Rome for prostitution. The principal Cinzia Giacomobono spoke to both the student and the teacher after having condemned the phrase “absolutely out of place”. Meanwhile, the students of Righi have decided to protest against “the dress code that is imposed on us” and, also in defense of their partner, today they presented themselves in shorts, skirts and short shirts.
“She is a dear friend of mine, we are both 16 years old. Generally these things slip on her but this time she was really angry,” says one student. “She was just doing a Tik tok during an hour in the hole, she just bared her belly a bit. You’re a teacher, plus a woman, you know that some things hurt – the boy reiterates – Tomorrow (for today, ed. ) all of us students will dress in order to break the dress code that remained in our high school at the 1800s “.
“The words were out of place, I don’t justify them but I don’t think the teacher intentionally wanted to offend her. I told the girl that if the teacher made a mistake she’ll apologize. But it’s not a question of dress code -explains the principal- It was plus a question linked to a video posted on the net, among other things the teacher in question deals with cyber bullying. The student showed me her regret for the situation in which she found herself involved “. The principal also spoke with the teacher “who told me her version: she had to do a substitute teacher because the teacher was absent. In the meantime she reached the class and this girl was intent on making a video with her mobile phone and she was raised her T-shirt to reveal her belly, she was doing this provocative dance in front of her cell phone. The teacher intervened trying to scold her but above all for the video “. “We do a lot to make students understand that everything they put online could somehow backfire”, the teacher would have told the principal to justify her astonishment in front of that video. “I’m sure the teacher didn’t want to be offensive to the girl. She got an unhappy sentence,” she adds.
