Last Tuesday, 25 parents of students made the way from the small town of Finistère to the doors of the French rectorate, Roazhon/Rennes, to protest against the removal of a bilingual class. Leaving early Tuesday morning from Plouguerneau, 25 parents of students from Le Petit Prince school boarded the bus to the Breton capital. In front of the rector's doors, they set up small children's chairs and streamers, to the sound of hissing whistles and pans. On Thursday, they learned that their children would have to do without one of the five French-speaking bilingual teachers from the school.
"We knew it two days after school when the classes were already done," indignant Guirec, one of the parents of the school Le Petit Prince, which offers bilingual classes of the small section in CM2. "We saw CP children in tears because they're going to be mixed up with big sections. They think they are going back to kindergarten. "
With one less teacher, the school will have to redistribute the hundreds of small brittlies between four classes. Some could have three different levels, one perhaps with about 30 students. "How are the teachers doing? They had not anticipated this configuration at all.
