I haven’t been back, but I’m not surprised to hear that it is very similar today! I was pretty happy there.

I don’t think you’d find that much had changed. Our children are in the French system, and they are getting very good at maths and memorising poetry, though they don’t do much in the way of creative writing or computing. They are happy though, and it sounds as if you were too.

But the boys both believe that the strict rules helps maintain discipline which in turn helps the teachers to do what they are paid to do i.e. teach. Older lad is very academic so sails through but younger one does struggle a bit. In fairness though, his teachers have been supportive but he does know that on order to achieve he really does have to buckle down and work hard … not something this particular 11 year old is too pleased about. I d rather dread what might happen of he doesn’t buckle down. #AllABoutFrance

I’m not that surprised, actually. I think it’s been that way for a century or so! I am glad to hear that your boys are thriving.

I was at the Lycee for two years, but we lived outside their priority area and for 6eme there were too many kids living in the correct zone who wanted to go so I had to go to a different school. Some of my siblings were there for the entire time we lived in France, though.
