Agi: Scuola a rischio chiusura: il sindaco iscrive 5 mucche all'asilo

AGI - I genitori degli alunni e gli amministratori locali di Moosch, un comune alsaziano di 1.600 abitanti nell'Alto Reno, hanno messo in atto una protesta decisamente originale per scongiurare la chiusura di una sezione scolastica: hanno ufficialmente iscritto all'asilo cinque giovani mucche.
Cinque "alunne" speciali davanti alla scuola
Arlette, Abondance, Amsel, Amandine e Abeille sono state sistemate in un recinto temporaneo proprio davanti alla scuola. Per rendere l’iscrizione formale, i loro nomi sono stati inseriti in un modulo regolarmente depositato nella cassetta delle lettere dell'istituto. Le "nuove alunne" sono state messe a disposizione da un allevatore locale che siede anche nel consiglio comunale.
I numeri della crisi scolastica
L’iniziativa nasce dalla necessità di raggiungere il numero minimo di iscritti previsto per legge. Attualmente, per il prossimo anno scolastico risultano registrati 66 bambini alle elementari e 30 alla scuola dell'infanzia. "Ci mancano solo quattro alunni per evitare il taglio di una delle cinque classi", ha spiegato il primo cittadino, sottolineando il rischio concreto di un ridimensionamento dell'offerta educativa nel villaggio.
L'ironia per attirare l'attenzione delle istituzioni
"Abbiamo giocato con l'assurdo e la provocazione fino in fondo", ha dichiarato all’agenzia di stampa Afp il sindaco José Schruoffeneger, ex insegnante di scuola media. L'idea di registrare le manze è nata quasi per scherzo durante un confronto su come colmare simbolicamente il vuoto lasciato dalla mancanza di iscritti.
Una provocazione diventata virale
"Siamo chiaramente nel campo dell'umorismo goliardico," ha ammesso il sindaco, "ma da stamattina il telefono non smette di squillare". Grazie a questa bizzarra trovata, la piccola comunità di Moosch è finita sotto i riflettori della stampa nazionale. La speranza è che l’eco mediatica e il tam-tam sui social network spingano i vertici dell'istruzione a riconsiderare la chiusura della classe.

School at risk of closure: the mayor enrolls 5 cows in kindergarten.

Parents of students and local officials in Moosch, a 1,600-resident Alsatian town in the Upper Rhine, staged a decidedly original protest to prevent the closure of a school section: they officially enrolled five young cows in kindergarten.

Five “special students” in front of the school
Arlette, Abondance, Amsel, Amandine and Abeille were housed in a temporary enclosure directly in front of the school. To formalize the enrollment, their names were entered on a regularly deposited form in the school’s mailbox. The “new students” were provided by a local farmer who also sits on the town council.

The numbers of the school crisis
The initiative arose from the need to reach the minimum number of registered students required by law. Currently, 66 children are registered for elementary school and 30 for kindergarten. “We are only missing four students to avoid the cutting of one of the five classes,” explained the mayor, emphasizing the real risk of reducing the educational offer in the village.

Irony to attract the attention of institutions
“We played with absurdity and provocation to the fullest,” AFP reported Mayor José Schruoffeneger, a former middle school teacher, said. The idea of registering the calves was born almost as a joke during a discussion on how to symbolically fill the void left by the lack of enrollment.

A provocation that went viral
“We are clearly in the field of jovial humor,” the mayor admitted, “but since this morning the phone hasn’t stopped ringing.” Thanks to this bizarre find, the small community of Moosch has ended up under the spotlight of national media. The hope is that the media echo and the buzz on social networks will urge educational leaders to reconsider the closure of the class.

My 1st ever batch of #manele (#Alsatian for “little men”). Ever since I was a child, I honored the local tradition for St Nicolas day to get one from the bakery. They are one of the things I had to give up on when I went vegan.

Well no more. I found a #vegan brioche recipe, and the courage to try baking them! So behold.

A bit more #meeple shaped than the commercial ones, but I actually am happy with that result.

Flammkuchen (Alsatian tarte flambée)

Alsatian tarte flambée (Elsässer Flammkuchen) This is an Alsatian staple similar to pizza. The dough can be made in various ways, but this recipe is for the simplest oil-based dough. (There are variants with yeast, beer, etc., but those take much longer.) Recipe adapted slightly from Springlane....

@wineecon One of the more curious things about #Alsatian #history is which villages survived or were destroyed in each war.
As promised, another big thread about historic #Alsatian #bonnets and #caps - and what interests me most: #lacemaking, #laces #embroidery and #perlage. Even if I find the macro function of my smartphone lousy, I take the shots because I like to know how people made these pieces. This #craft is threatened with extinction, so I like to find out more about the #stitches and construction of pieces. One table only in our #museum + #CulturalHeritage centre in #Alsace. #Histodon #costumes #fashion
