The overhaul of the school in France: is the page turned?
In France, Education component seems past, Finance section opens, soon, harassment at school…
How can we work so quickly on subjects barely mentioned in the background…? Barely actually discussed?
Is, primary school has been making a lot of talk about it lately, but are we satisfied? Strike days, protest, open or closed letters, successive articles, and we leave it there?
Coming of Françoise Cartron
Friday 15 November 2013, a senator, Françoise Cartron, among other mandates, city councilor in Artigues-près-Bordeaux and especially rapporteur for the Joint Information Mission on the reform of school rates (more exactly, she occupies the functions of: Vice-President of the Culture Committee, of education and communication and she is a member of the Delegation for Women's Rights. Her parliamentary work is notably marked by her designation as rapporteur for the orientation and programming bill for the Refoundation of the School of the Republic in 2013).
Contested municipal funding
Invited to Bouliac by delegated representatives of parents (FCPE), she agreed to answer some questions. More, what emerges from this debate?
Nothing… Everyone came out with the same certainties.
Of us: the die is cast, and all is well well which ends well; others: we cannot accept this idea of rhythms without thinking any longer…
To the question of the representatives of the town hall of Bouliac to know from where the commune was going to leave the 84000 € estimated necessary for the installation of this device, Françoise Cartron argued that it only cost € 13,000… War of numbers, again.
At the suggestion to start with what seemed logical to modify in the first place: programs to be reduced, the correct formation of future instit & rsquo;, the differentiation of nursery school and elementary school, no clear answer either.
Lack of determination
To Stéphanie Robin's question (PEEP representative in Bouliac) to know why certain measures have not been imposed by the government instead of giving the choice and causing this chaos, we felt the chilliness and evasion of Madame Cartron.
And although Madame Cartron, senator, be convinced that Saturday morning remains THE half-day to set up during school time, that summer vacations should be shortened by at least two weeks, no one returns to these subjects.
Alea jacta est!
The French, puppets? Maybe not all, but how to constructively advance this big machine that is National Education?
