Your School at Home (VECV) will close its Rouen college this summer. 16 students with disabilities will be out of school.
11 students on the waiting list, and 14 primary school students will lose all hope of finding a place. The fault lies with a Kafkaesque bureaucracy which, by sheltering behind unsuitable rules, seems more concerned with masking its deficiencies than helping those who try to overcome them. The objective is always, when possible, to help the child to integrate into an ordinary path. Some children die before the end of their schooling students until the last day; they will, at least, have received the consideration that our society owes every child. The situation of these “special needs” children is disparate and often requires – this is a t t t – a special education system. In 2006, 100,000 students with disabilities were educated in ordinary schools. There were 436,000 in 2022. This spectacular progression cannot hide a sometimes difficult reality on the ground. The Normandy college is preparing to close, leaving a few dozen adolescents without schooling. A small number, certainly, compared to the hundreds of thousands of students mentioned above. The administration, as we know, does not like special cases. At the very least, she doesn't know how to deal with them. VECV falls under a general law which, if we think about it for a moment, doesn't concern it. A banal administrative aberration. The victims? Disabled children. We are in France, in 2024. It's time to make a change. We need a new generation of leaders. It is time for a change in the way we look at education in France. The time is right for the Normandy college to close and for its students to find a place anywhere else in the education system. Let us remember, all the same, that having a sick or disabled child is not a choice, that registering them is not the result of a voluntary approach but rather of the deplorable absence of any other option, and that Assimilating a medical orientation to a form of separatism could make you laugh.
