Public and private school in Lorenzo Milani

Abstract

He shows with literal quotations the opinion of the priest and teacher Lorenzo Milani, a radical supporter of the public school, although also very critical of it for being, he says, “a cesspool of business propaganda”. There are private schools, like his, dedicated exclusively to the latter, although the Italian Constitution admits them “at no cost to the State” (unlike Spain, where there are many subsidized and paid by the State).
