    There is a lot of inequality.

    It is not like “based on the number of students you have, you will have to equality share X amount of €”

    Some school are “prestigious” so they have a lot more money from the government and from rich parents that can pay for it.

    The lowest income school in paris have a lot more than the highest income school in saint-denis (poor city). The problem ? France is a Republic, with a devise that is “freedom, equality, fraternity”

    So when rich student “strike” in solidarity (yes it happen, they remember they are human) rich teachers are against that. One could also argue about abuses in the teachers staff.

    And obviously, raging people are gonna rage and see any figure of power as an enemy.

    So long story short, it is complex but very marginal. The mainstream media in france is owned by 5 billionaires. So yes, EVERY LITTLE THING that you will hear about will be detrimental to the movement. It was the same with the yellow jacket that comes back tomorrow if my info is right.

    remember what students (and teachers) want, they are asking for it for month and you only hear about it because they make noises!

    they want more teachers that have a correct salary, more staff, the end of a discriminatory “automated” sorting system (parcoursup). They want school that are insulated and do not fall apart.

    WoW ! They are asking so much ? what do you mean they do not have that yet ?

    Talk about the violence to be slowly cooked day after day for weeks at 35°C and yeah, you will develop a political consciousness very fast.

      Sure, assuming slight criticism/questioning of something means I am completely opposed to anything and everything even slightly related is normal these days.

      But trying to justify a teacher being doused in gasoline for having a high salary in is another level of disgusting.
