The French school system is like the French society: very complicated, conservative and inefficient.

More importantly, I think It shouldn't be in a position to fulfill its commitments and ambitions.

Throughout this message, we are going to show that the French school system is very elitist, it's deeply unfair to contribute to the social reproduction.

First question : Why is the French school system so unfair?

I think that the main issue is that this system promotes only to the good students : you must be quiet, you must listen, you must repeat after the teacher, do your homework and if you make a mistake, it feels like the end of the world! Often, teachers and parents say : we will not get your baccalaureate! I believe it’s very traumatic for children.

Furthermore, this system seems good for the children who live in a good condition. But, If you live in a difficult environment, with economic and social issues, it’s very hard to focus at school.

Second question : how can we change that ?

As far as I’m concerned, the school was a very boring part in my life : I didn’t see the interest to learn all the things by heart. In fact, The teaching was not dynamic : we couldn't try to discover, debate, or propose a different idea. We must respect the program letter by letter! What a shame!

More precisely, In this type of system, highly centralised, all individual initiatives are rejected. You couldn't tell the difference.

When children are aware about that, it becomes frustrating and if it doesn't have the support for the family, it could get worse.

Definitively, This system is not for the real world : I hope that the alternative method of learning, like Montessori and Steiner, more creative and it could be offered as alternatives and it develops the skills for your child.
