What bothers me, in what is said through these comments is that it is never a question of CHILD and what he saw at school (whether public or private, for that matter). Yes, the child needs a clear but just where the punishment is smart, finely reflected. Yes the child needs rest, not a mountain senseless homework, because he needs to spend time with family, to walk in the forest, visiting museums, reading, playing. Use all the knowledge in real life (if not, what's the point, all that?) Yes, the child in question in this book (which I have read, and congratulations Véronique de Bure, for this beautiful testimony where there is much kindness), suffers in this school where teachers are unavailable, closed, sometimes even inquisitors. All-powerful. And absolutely not trained in learning disabilities (and they are so numerous, these children, dyslexic, dysorthographiques, dyscalculia, and many other things). I think it is not a question here of an attack against Catholicism. This is certainly not what I have read. However, at a time when families enroll their children in private during and around public flaws, it is interesting to note that here, in that school, the promises are not kept. That the educational project is not applied. The child learns nothing more than the competition, frustration, injustice. He loses confidence in himself, in the adult, and therefore in society. He loses faith! What a pity. What a waste. I am a teacher. And I would like as the CHILD is at the center of learning. We help them to become what he is, in all its singularity, and not to become what we want it to be. Read this book, you will not see nothing offensive. Simply the questions of a loving mother who seeks to accompany his son the best, like many other parents.
