I Don’t Like Going to School

What if there were no schools?

One day, as if by magic, Filippo wakes up and his dream has come true: no more school, no more boring lessons and, instead of homework, just TV! Now he can play all day… But with who? There’s no one in the playground: they’re all at school. He can’t write to his grandparents: he’s never learnt. And he can’t become an aeroplane pilot like his dad either: he can’t even read!

• The book ends the “trilogy of dissent”, conceived by Miriam Dubini, after I don’t like reading and I don’t like writing.
• Highlights the aspect of school linked to the future: school is a place of friendship and socialising, but it also allows us to realise our future dreams. In short, if school didn’t exist, what would we do? At the end of the book, a follow-up section exploring school itself, its origin and some curiosities!
