The iniquitous college.

Here is a book that should make compulsory reading for parents of students, future teachers, and especially superfluous administrative (if not harmful) which grenouillent in school inspectorates, education authorities and the Ministry. Not to mention sociologists and other educators to Dubet or Meirieu exploiting their miserable goodwill for too long already and whose pontificating verbigérations above ground collapse in front of the 150 pages of the book of Mary Neuser.
Needless to revisit - I would say the story - on the facts. What is described here is not "realistic" is the reality of the majority of French colleges today. The differences are limited to the degree of intensity of the disaster, that's all. The author does not blacken the table. All that is said is accurate and suffers no discussion: the sensation of entering a filthy place, hostile, where everything looks like culture, urbanity, is reviled (or who think Malik), human relations reduced to insult, for students, the challenge, contempt, insult and harassment for teachers, "school peace" (you talk, holy Charles ...) purchased by the administration at a price cowardice and compromise without number, quasi-illiterate classes obsessed with brands and whose existential questions are limited to "how much does it cost? "CPE that pull in the legs, the resigning parents (who do not take their position), the feeling of not serve strictly to anything except to keep a horde of savages we prefer to know where in Street (do not look further attempts the real reason to stay longer teachers in schools), the timid and patronized teachers (mostly women), the grotesque class councils, departures at work dragging feet, withdrawal, blues Sunday night, the reflections of horns that do not take one hour before a class ... etc.
In his misfortune, Marie Neuser owes its relatively privileged position of Associate to have escaped one last vexation: inspection carried out by a body of arrogant and sadistic inspectors kinds of Gestapo in miniature whose main concern seems to be to humiliate the unfortunate they visit. Three small towers, a report (the worst possible to block the advancement, causes of cost overruns) and then leave.
For those who doubt still, I said that here, deep in the Landes, we can make the same observation: small college bullies who do what they want (inputs, outputs of the establishment, wandering), chaos in the hallways and the lobby, infernal noise, various degradations (there some time, we had the ch ... crazy turds who testified in different places), parents who violently deny any punishment or remark, complainants and who denigrate-for-all. Some personal examples at random: I was accused of harassing a student after she mimed to a fiddle tune signifying that his umpteenth pathetic justification for not having done the work did not take (letters in the main to the rectory, meetings, warnings of administration..etc), I filed a complaint against a grade 4 who tagged my home and smashed my mailbox golf club hits (I tracked for 3 weeks and I happily have taken it on the fact). I pass on the usual graffiti (found guilty by me after little investigation - there still has students with whom I have a good relationship - but the administration did nothing - no waves, no waves) and striped car with a key. All my colleagues could tell similar: flat tires, parent abuse.
Attention future candidates in the contest and for the information of parents, here are the solutions to keep going in this job, that nobody wants to do: minimize the time spent in the institution, offload Extra function (master teacher, coordinator, corresponding to this or that), arrange through hacks on the coefficients to always have averages above 10 classes, avoid meeting the parents directly (drag, focus telephone, argue various impossibilities), do not give work to the house (it is not, so it will punish, punishments are not made, so it will take .... what?), s arrange not to punish (as the punishments are not made or challenged by parents, we lose all credibility), do not make written even in case of serious incident reports (that causes interminable series of writings, Meeting whose conclusion is always the same: the teacher does not take his class, a phenomenon well described in the book, instead go directly to the police or the gendarmerie, there will be no result either, but complaints do not go away), never complain about this or that class with colleagues or hierarchy, never say what we think or what we do on the outside, does not appeal to CPE, not give his personal e-mail administration (all teachers have a professional email rectory, it is more than enough) to guard against any questioning scrupulously respecting and in order (entry in the book of texts) on program of each level, even if it is purely formal, do not hesitate to use, when necessary, stops working, demonstrate against the administration of utter hypocrisy. Finally, having always in mind that in class, you are likely to be filmed by a mobile phone or a camera, and that the slightest equivocation about immediately be reported to parents who are just waiting for that to drag you through the mud . There's still people?
