No, that's why teachers exist. Employed by the Ministry of National Education.
No, we still have very good schools, public schools, like Henri IV and Louis-le-Grand in Paris. And some struggling ones of course. Except in France, when we want to improve the conditions of struggling schools, we take measures on the national level, rather than leaving it to the pauperized and segregated municipal authorities to deal with. Which doesn't prevent municipal authorities from improving conditions on their own as well.
If a local/regional/school/whatever authority is clearly incapable of performing its functions to the point of causing harm, that certainly justifies intervention from the next highest level.
But when the lower authority is capable of excersizing a function, reserving that function for a higher authority only diminishes the ability of people to engage and participate in their own lives.
There is no good reason a schoolteacher should have to participate in national politics (where they'd all-but-certainly lack a noticeable voice) in order to change their classroom's phone policy. It's just absurd.
I don't know what that means. In France, it means nothing.
No, we've had this policy for more than a century. We built a Nation out of unitary, nationalized education.
That image was posted in schools, on orders from the national Ministry, and in its first sentence it says that is forbidden to speak Breton and to spit on the floor.
They don't. They have unions, their unions do. The unions have never contested the national authority of the Ministry.
