None of the 4.5 hours a week of French has been taught to the 4th A class of this Kremlin-Bicêtre college. The students don't know what their teacher's name is because they don't have one.

“At the beginning it was funny for the young people, now it’s no longer funny at all,” insists Inès, a representative of the parents. The other teachers feel that this class is demobilized, gaps are accumulating in writing and speaking.
