Anyway, worth reading, it is definitely. Druckerman describes the ideals and methods of the French education, but also the background, very good. In fact, I can do a lot (actually everything) also with us and in our environment will find. Although much exaggerated sounds - the most true. The children have in fact 4-course meals at school. But That certainly does not mean that they also eat the beetroot or carrot salad (!). But you try. And you'd expect, in fact, halfway decent behavior of the children in a non-dispositive provisions, the Cadre. "Encadrer" or "recadrer" when something threatens to spiral out of control are common expressions. As well as the clear statement that "there are no children, the command".
The children manners always, no. To French children throwing never screaming on the floor? Of course they do it well. But it is also compared to Germany significantly less stress, raising children in France. The children are the natural complement to the family, not its center.
