Benito Mussolini: Schools
built 267 days ago
Mussolini did not take to school. He found that he rebelled against most things. Catholic monks ran his first school. His mother had insisted on him attending such a school but his behaviour was so bad that he got expelled from it.

The Society of St. Francis de Sales and its schools were founded a decade or so before Mussolini's birth by a diocesan priest and progressive educator, the blessed Giovanni Bosco. In order to put his ideas into practice, he gathered about him a group of men, chosen for their natural ability as educators, who became the first Salesians. He taught them to observe children and to study their souls with love, through reason and religion; to gain their friendship; to refrain from punishment as far as possible; to refrain from any physical violence and moral coercion; to encourage physical exercise; in short, to practice those principles that are now considered essential in education.
