It popped up in French news today....two curious changes coming to the school environment.
First, Macron has issued a statement which says that schools must take action to create choirs in every school....to which they agreed to put up around 20-million Euro.
It's hard to say how kids will react to this, or if it's taken as a big joke. Forced choir practice? Well....don't even go and suggest that.
The second curious thing is that a ban is now coming over cellphones in schools (for ages six to fifteen). Presently, you couldn't have them in the classroom. But this new rule more or less states that there will be no cellphones in the entire school.
How they'd be confiscated, or where they'd be stored? Not really addressed. Affecting teachers? That wasn't clear either.
Coming to other European countries? If you went and asked German teachers about this business....most would like to ban cellphones as well (at least for the students). Most German schools will have a box in the room, and you are supposed to 'store' your phone.
