Dunces (but now they say the students failing at school) are, like some oysters, large pearl producers. They have also continued after the publication of The Wisdom Dunces, which will allow me to make you understand, from my own experience, the subject matter of Jean-Charles. My students were very inspired by the French monarchy and its rules of succession or catholicity:
- "The royal descent is hereditary";
- "To be king, so do not be the son of a woman";
- "The king must be Catholic, Charlemagne being a Protestant, he had to retrain."
Geography has not given many results worthy to stay in my memory or to be noted; I found however that the study population and the birth rate are particularly likely to stimulate the imagination, but it sometimes results somewhat limited statements ... Other fields are unfortunately less fertile. An example anyway: "under the Third Republic, opportunistic opposed to free radicals." I suspect my student to have it done on purpose and therefore it would not be a real gem. The effort of Jean-Charles, back to the author, has also been to clearly distinguish genuine pearls, the only ones he cited, cultured pearls.
What is naturally dated in The Wisdom dunces is the introductory pages and personal expression which are inserted between the beads properly classified listings. Jean-Charles will give his views on the education system and especially makes reform proposals, some common sense and some a little less; not so much for this (and it was never especially for this) we now read his book, but to laugh; these passages, however, are a useful break in beads lists and the author excels at presenting his findings. Moreover, the beads are understandable in the context of the time and programs, some of the context. Thus the "Franks fell into two categories. The light that cultivated the land and heavy that went out to war." At the time of the euro, which still knows, apart from people of a certain age, what the heavy franc, the franc again? but despite these reservations, this pearl collection remains superior to newer, including those of its author who was able to exploit the seam. Indeed, in The Wisdom Dunces, Jean-Charles had not mentioned anything he could collect, only the best. At the end of the book he was Assistant to the blunders of students those of adults, parents, journalists or politicians. Incidentally, the beads tend to reproduce and update over time. One member, perhaps at the time of the Third Force and the good doctor Queuille (Fourth Republic), said full Assembly: "We must put a stop to immobility leads running our country into the abyss." Now, for the first part of the sentence was awarded to Raymond Barre, who obviously was not a member before 1962, but economics professor.
You understand that by reading this book, you will have the opportunity poiler you more than any other. The message being passed, I want to remind the Frequently Asked Dunces is a book morally more trainers. He urges caution immortalizing the statements of the mayor: "The pump should always be tested on the eve of a fire"; hygiene, since "Archimedes cried" Eureka "because he had found her soap" and because "it is necessary to rinse the eye from time to time." I do not lack for one, which should not surprise you: the definition of a sexagenarian Is not "man obsessed with everything about the opposite sex?"
