800 vacant teacher positions in the 93: let's dare to talk about the real reasons...

I think the concern is much deeper, and I maintain that the eradication of community policing by Nicolas Sarkozy was a time bomb... (even if he benefited from it immediately, in terms of expenditure , which did not prevent him from filling us with 500,000,000,000 from euros to low words...)

However, if in the first place these parents educated their children, things would perhaps go a little better afterwards...

There are ways to express yourself in France, the basis of everything is respect for others.

Moreover, precisely, the solution is certainly not in the abandonment of these populations and territories, but rather in communication...

All violence is born at the base of a frustration, and even without giving in we can discuss and make the effort to listen...

I have already told you, the only way to get out of this is to think TOGETHER and to have a virtuous conduct, or else it will be the disintegration of our country region after region...

This represents 10% of the posts of school teachers in 93. The youngest, most popular and most tormented department in France is therefore devastated in the field of primary education despite the hiring of 400 contract workers. It seems useful to me to give you some elements that will allow you to understand the reasons for this disaster, because I myself officiated for eleven years in a ZEP in this department. The reasons for this crisis are, in my opinion, very different from those stated by the official unions and parents' associations.

Don't worry, I'm not going to tell you about my professional life, just a few elements to set the scene. I joined 9-3 by choice in the 90s after passing the external academic school teacher competition. I lived near Pantin, it was convenient for the Parisian that I was then. After a year of formatting at the IUFM in Livry-Gargan, I was established; I was not taught how to teach, just what I had to think and above all not to say. Among the graduates at the end of the year there were a few incompetents, a few rebels or quite simply free spirits who publicly criticized the holy scriptures of Saint Philippe Meirieu (the archangel of pedagogy). It is not lucky to think and grow in this professional environment. At the time I was young, I followed without flinching... the instinct of revolt came later.

And I practiced in several class levels, in various communes. Difficult and aggressive children, psychiatric cases (3 or 4 out of 25 pupils on average), tensions within the teaching "teams", selfishness and lack of solidarity... immature parents, many social cases, problems of "secularism". Come on, I also had some good times, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed. Living in Paris was an advantage, in the evening I could go out and change my mind.

I could also point out the lack of support from the hierarchy and the many dysfunctions observed on the right and on the left. An example: this alcoholic fellow director unable to manage a class and a team of teachers who, despite a suicide attempt, was kept in post...

When I wanted to leave 93 at the time of the explosion in housing prices, I discovered that 2800(!) colleagues were asking to leave for... 18 requests for admission! I succeeded in spite of everything, I practice today in the provinces where the difficulties remain: unrecognized authority, many children with serious behavioral problems, desocialized and immature parents, lack of benchmarks in education. .. you all know the song by observing what is happening around you.

But back to our dear 9-3. The hundreds of vacancies would be the result of the policy of the infamous Mr. Sarkozy in terms of job cuts... the "right" would have sabotaged national education... nonsense that all that! The positions are vacant for lack of candidates in the recruitment competitions on the one hand and following the abandonment of positions on the other hand, despite the revaluation of the beginnings of careers initiated by the former Minister Châtel! Yes, there was also something positive in the work of the previous government... Because you have understood it (and you already knew it for many of you) teaching in Saint-Denis or Montfermeil is very Spartan. Reports from the IGEN confirm this: violent and associative children, juvenile delinquency, etc. this oppressive climate does not allow you to work in complete serenity. Another anecdote: I was transferred in the same batch as a colleague from Sevran who had been shot!

All this to conclude that it is incredible that the language of wood remains in force. I listened the other day on an FM radio to a debate on the school rhythms discussed in Clichy-sous-Bois. I can hear you giggling from here. There are permanently two or three absent teachers in the schools of this commune: maternity leave, nervous breakdowns, various cramps... denouncing this situation would not advance to anything: Who among you wishes to take the place of these "absenteeists"? the school population of this town is "ghetto", most families from the Fourth World, with no desire for integration for many; the bosses make the law in the neighborhoods, the public authorities overwhelmed... but it is perhaps better to talk about something else, school on Wednesday morning... gag? No, since in these places the school has only one function: to keep the kids safe from the stairwells. But what will the sheep do if there is no shepherd to watch over them?

Political correctness contributes to sinking our country. Only a serene and constructive debate would make it possible to find solutions to the difficult question of education in underprivileged areas. We must not count on the hideouts of the unions and the associations of parents close to the parties for that. Creating blogs, networks and gathering goodwill is the only way to find solutions...
