Summary/Abstract: We are captive to an image of the school projected onto an alarmist background. In the rush for ratings, deontological principles, impartiality and minimum decency are abolished by the media. Another part of the sensation hunters is represented by those for whom school must offer the highest standards just like a jukebox lured by a bill. Unfortunately, it is an institution that, in the mentality of many people, must function alone and quickly, as if what it “produces” (and for some it produces nothing) is for itself without any connection to society. The issues that this paper tries to present, with an analysis that is far from exhaustive and indisputable, are: the professional quality of teaching staff, the bureaucracy, the teacher-student relationship (in the context of the students’ and parents’ new rights) and the evaluation of the latter, all of them creating a template that risks deconstructing what is essential in education: the formation of a free and responsible personality.
