Through this paper we are a group of parents who want to express the discomfort, frustration and impotence generated by what happened around the process of change of day and that, as a conclusion, lead our children to be a departure day in the next four courses. In this regard, we would like to make some considerations:

1. Our concern is not contrary to what other families think. Choosing the type of day is a very personal issue and all opinions are respectable. Our anger is that the process has been manipulated.
2. The conditions for voting have been obscure, unfair and probably directed by the government to its interests. What are
3. In order to advance the following days it has been necessary that 3/5 of the census accept it. Why that percentage? Why not a simple majority? What are the reasons behind this? At least not pedagogical.
4. The Minister of Education of Navarre, Gimeno, undertook to change these imprecise percentages, but he has not kept his word. What has led him not to overtake several educational agents and also to impose four courses? Would it do the same if they were your children?
5. The regulations have demanded impartiality from the centres, that is, the Department of Education has pressed on every day that the centres could not give their opinion. But… aren’t the teachers, the ones who are with our children on a daily basis, the most suitable to transmit the experience of one day and the experience of another? May someone decide what treatment to take without talking to their trusted doctor?
6. At the Landagain School in Etxalar, 18 votes (35%) were voted in favour of the opening day and 34 in favour of the continuation (65%).

   Choosing the type of school day is a very personal issue and all opinions are respectable. Our anger is because the process has been manipulated.

   double). As the valuation of the results by census has been imposed, those who have not voted have been taken into account and the percentage of votes in favour of the continuation has been reduced to 58 per cent. How can it be understood that the will of a large majority (in the absence of two votes) is not respected and that we have to return to the day? If it had happened backwards, what would have happened?
7. In Lesaka, 103 of the 112 registered voters voted. 55 votes in a row, 45 in favour of the party and 3 white. If voters had been taken into account, 53.4 per cent of the votes in Lesaka would be in favour of the continuation. Since 60% has been set as a requirement, they have not arrived, but it would have gone ahead by a simple majority.
8. We all have the right and the responsibility to vote, therefore, that whoever wishes to participate in the results vote.
9. When the votes do not reach 60%, they have closed the process directly and have left the School Council without a voice as the Supreme Organ.
10. The Department of Education has obtained unexpected results as, over and above all obstacles and difficulties, most Navarre families (over 80%) have opted for a continuous day. Of the others, the majority would do so if there had been a fair and democratic vote.
11. In view of the results of the votes, what conclusion should the government draw? What should you do about this?
12. We believe that this imposition of days will create problems in the families' daily lives, it will reduce the time spent with our children, it will influence the well-being of children, it will create pressure to face other times of the day, it will influence the availability of free time for children, in the conciliation of parents, etc.
13. In addition to the harm that this process has caused families, it has created a strange environment with the rest of families and teachers.

We know that we are in front of Goliate, but we will continue to denounce this injustice strongly because we believe it is best for our children and because it has been voted and expressed by the majority of families in our schools.

For a fair and democratic vote! For our children!
