"The situation has lasted long enough": for lack of a teacher, parents of students from Nanterre threaten to block the Anatole-France kindergarten

Worried about the consequences of the absence of a replacement teacher on children's learning, they threaten to block access to school j


Will a blockade be organized next Thursday in front of the Anatole-France nursery school in Nanterre?

This possibility is in any case seriously considered by parents whose children are educated in one of the two main kindergarten sections of this establishment.

Children who, once a week, find themselves dispatched to other classes for lack of a teacher.

At the origin of the problem: the occasional replacement, or even the non-replacement, of the teacher in charge of this class.

A teacher who has worked at 75% for several years and whose absence is, in theory, made up for by a replacement.

But in theory only.

Since the start of the school year in September, five different substitutes have followed one another for a day or two.

“There, for the third Thursday in a row, there is absolutely no one, says Myriam, a mother of a family with one of the twins concerned.

As a result, the children are dispersed in classes of small and medium sections.

For learning, this is not ideal and many parents fear the consequences.

The academy assures that a solution has been found

Especially since the students are coming out of a year marked by the health crisis and the strict protocols put in place in the schools.

“It was a time when we all went to great lengths to keep the kids at home while trying to keep pace with school,” observes Elhame, another mother.

I realize that finding a replacement for one day a week should not be easy, but it is not for our children to suffer.

The situation has gone on long enough ... "

This Thursday morning, six mothers were received by the director of the school, whom we were unable to contact.

The latter would have admitted his embarrassment and his relative powerlessness before being more reassuring, during the day, via social networks.

“She let us know that a solution was in the process of being found for the rest of the school year,” says Myriam.

But if not, we will block the school next Thursday.

"

Asked, the Academy of Versailles explained at the end of the day that a "solution (had) been found" and would be implemented "until the end of the school year".
