Interesting perspective on the student protests in France and on the French education system in general. There are are many problems here with the education system, but in general it is more accepting and nurturing of a plurality of talents than described here, with lots of extra curricular stuff going on. This week it was heartening to see U2 go back to their old school, and talk about the journey that started there.
My own kids attended the same school, and what they did outside the classroom, the broad base of the subjects they studied, the social and religious diversity they encountered was more important in their lives and subsequent careers than what they studied.
Me? I was just a nerd and loved studying- I would have fitted right in to the French system, though not the focus on math, science and tech-languages and history were more my thing. In our all girls school, we were not even offered a science subject. When I took up psychology at university, it was a rude awakening to have to adopt the scientific method !
Every system has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the things I do admire about the French system ( apart from the great school dinners which are an excellent grounding in good and varied nutrition)is its focus on debate and training the capacity to analyze, defend or dispute ideas and philosophy.
It is much easier to test for the mastery of concrete facts and skills, than the less tangible but more important stuff like self reliance,initiative, persistence, working with others, empathy, fairness etc. The list is endless 0f what we would like our education system to cultivate.
Like Chase here, I am not condoning what the students are doing, but a reflection on what values education is embedding is important to all our futures.

I love this clear explanation of how our brain and nervous system react differently depending on how we talk to ourselves after a “failure”. Being critical to ourselves keeps our brain in the alarm mode, and logical thought and solution creating take a back seat. Acknowledging the setback and speaking kindly to ourselves, as we would to a friend who made a mistake, allows the more logical part of the brain to switch back on and deal creatively with the situation. Cultivate the voice of kindness- how you talk to yourself makes a difference .
