Since last September, the Aristide-Briand school seems cursed. Absences of unreplaced teachers multiplied, to the point that, on certain days, four teachers could be absent at the same time due to illness or caring for a sick child.

A “chance”, in the words of management addressed to parents, means that this year the school “is unfortunately very exposed” to the problem. “I save the furniture in French and maths”: due to lack of a teacher, she teaches at home in Montrouge.
