As desired, the 2014 school year started smoothly and in good spirits. Young students and returning students have made their way back to classrooms and lecture halls.
And for once, why don’t we look at the glass half full rather than half empty?
The summer debate has given way to reality, and children as well as teachers are well aware that in the “knowledge society,” there is no room for ideologies and personal advantages.
Even Christian Estrosi has set aside the garb of the orator and taken on the role of the good father. Accompanied by Lauriano Azinheirinha, responsible for school and extracurricular activities, he went to wish the schoolchildren of Fabron school a good start to the year.

The Academy of Nice reports that out of the 112 municipalities involved, only one had an issue: in Isola 2000, out of 36 registered children, only one student crossed the school threshold. The others held up protest signs against school schedules. Children who barely know how to read and write but participate in their parents’ disputes served as a telling sign of this boycott.
The protesters cite the uniqueness of mountain communities: “We are far from everything and absolutely need a full day available to complete all our everyday tasks,” stated a spokesperson for the group. As a majority work on the weekend, Wednesday is thus family day.
The mayor, on his part, struggles to find qualified animators, especially when recruiting at the last minute with the hope of not finding them!
The interests of the children, on whose behalf everyone speaks, in all of this?
