Maudit soit l'élève en difficulté ?

This book is a way of looking at our society, its excesses and shortcomings, as embodied and voiced by many students in difficulty. The school, and particularly its suffering children, reflect the risks of the all-financial, incessant injunctions to consume, the untenable injunctions to succeed through a so-called "higher" social rank, as well as the loss of a loftiness of soul that seems to invade all sections of society. It is often the most maladjusted who can represent what's wrong with a system and help it to move forward. Here, the author, a school teacher and headmistress, poetically offers food for thought and practical ideas drawn from her long experience at the heart of the French education system. A useful tool for parents, teachers, school principals and staff, inspectors and administrators, not forgetting the political players in charge of the Ministry.
