Review of Editrice La Scuola

A publishing house that publishes a geography text...

A publishing house that publishes a geography text as "Land of peoples" in which there are meaningless statements with respect to the Sorrentines, cannot be considered of good quality, indeed!

Apart from the obvious and sacrosanct criticisms for the use of prejudices and stereotypes that accustom students to not exercise critical thinking, it succeeds in the difficult task of taking for example the territory less suited to the type of "analysis".

It is said of the Sorrentines that: "It is not true that they shy away from work: rather they are not in possession of a mentality that knows when and how to risk, so that private companies are few and state-type works prevail".

The Sorrentines don't have the entrepreneurial mentality?

That is the land of the MSC, among the top 5 shipping companies in the world?
The land of a thousand restaurants, pubs, trattorias, 5-star hotels, bed and breakfasts, holiday farms, limoncello factories, dairy products ... and above all no government offices (if not the prefecture), then the ASL and .. .that's enough.
Public employees? Go see the staff of the municipalities of the Sorrento Peninsula.

Beyond knowing or not knowing the real situation of the Sorrento Peninsula, which in itself is very serious, it would have been enough to stop to think for about ten seconds about the fact that it is a place of tourist attraction of world level and therefore it is absurd to think that there are no entrepreneurial activities.
