Scenes of jubilation in the salons! On the stroke of eleven and a quarter, this Friday, a few hundred thousand high school students from Terminale, glued to the press conference by Jean-Michel Blanquer, exulted three months in advance: "We have the bac!" "
The most prompt also drew their calculators dry, for estimates to the line on their mentions. Others have flooded social networks with cheeky videos. "I have my bac without the past (sic) I now understand what Adil Rami felt after winning the World Cup without playing (sic) ", exults on Twitter a certain Roni, when another, caustic, questions : "Can we stop pretending to pass distance courses now?" "
"I'm too happy, in my class, we all have it ... It relieves me to have my baccalaureate in April," says Maïa, with a smile so wide that he can hear himself on the phone. The recreation was however short-lived for this Parisian: the management of her private high school quickly reminded, by audio message, the need to "not lower the pace" while all the chapters are far from having been completed.
"The end of the year will be very long"
Moussa also, in 1st professional at the Alfred Nobel high school in Clichy-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis), plans to continue working "normally", even if her writing grade in the French bac is already acquired. Same story with Marion, in Terminale S in a high school in the Alsatian countryside, who anticipates however that "the end of the year will be very long, until July 4".
Yohan (the first name has been changed), he may well turn his back on his credenza for good, like many other students with fragile results, for whom continuous monitoring is anything but good news. Leaded by a first quarter at 8/20, this high school student took the announcement of continuous assessment as the certainty of missing his bac.
"He threw all his books out the window, he doesn't want to do anything anymore, and I don't know how to reason about it, confides his mother, devastated by the explosion of anger in her son. "Understand, he put the package from the start of containment to try to catch up, and he is told that it will not count ... I do not know how I can get him back to work after that. "
