France: The teachers will learn how to handle the undisciplined pupils

In France, from this year, the teachers can inscribe them at “a course of authority”, to learn how to handle the undisciplined students. The Ministry of Education had already agreed on a first series of 10 lessons in some schools from the Parisian region. The objective: to obtain some respect from the pupils, to establish the behavior to be maintained in a classroom, to know how to spread a good education. The initiative arrived from a professor who teaches in a “banlieue”, a typically popular neighborhood from the periphery of Paris.
