I moved to France four years ago, when my children were 12 and 14. My husband has just become redundant and there have been a 'now or never "moment - we knew that if we waited much longer, children have a difficult time to adjust. Here are my experiences with the French education system .
The French system is divided into Maternelle, cm, College and high school. Children start school with about three years. Going to school at the age of 11 years, living in general, until they are 14 and thenSchool. Local communities often have their own maternelles cm and is still as the children go to school, often at some distance from their homeland, they remain in the "firm" shall supervise the equivalent of food and is closely connected with ' supervisors.
At the end of college kids take a test called the certification of three parts: the French, mathematics and science. There is no equivalent of GCSEs. Pass the certification is not required to continue to further scientific studies, but insteadgiven for those that do not exist because they have the evidence of suitability for a further study has shown.
Children are not automatically up to the end of each academic year. If teachers do not feel that the child is ready for progress, it is customary to double "or restoring the 'year. This means that in every class universities there is a spread of ages.
French school is very formal. Children are the head, when he enters the room. The lessons are much chalk and talk and groupWork done / not wise. Drama, and religion are not part of the curriculum. The practice of going to school on Saturday mornings have become rare. Before college, children have the Wednesday off. Wednesday afternoon in a college is usually offered for free with many sports. The French school curriculum has a very academic focus - my sons had 11 hours of language (English, French, Spanish, Latin and Occitan), 6 hours of mathematics (to a level well above that required in England), 3Now the sport and the rest was divided between Civic Education, Arts, Science & Vie Communale.
Progress is monitored by "controles", regular checks, and there are regular parents 'evenings'.
After the freedom of the Italian education system to flourish is not open to my children, and it was not just because they do not speak the language - after a year, were both handled very well. They felt the stiffness of the structure and the inability to activate the system stiflesIndividuality.
A 14 or the age when a child finishes college, a choice between continued to be transformed into non-formal education in a general high school and go to school or go into an apprenticeship or to go to high school and vocational training in a profession. Here, the French system will be impressed. The number of courses available is truly mindboggling, and ensures that a child can no academic training, which will lead them to useful work.
My oldest, theAnd 'now almost 18, went to vocational high school and received a Certificat of professional competence (CAP) into electricity and has now gone to Brevet d'Etude Professional (BEP) with electricity. You go to work regularly and experience more and more confidence every day.
My youngest, now 16, has no head-way in the system and started International School in Bordeaux, a year ago. He studied International GCSE French, and after years, where he acquired a *. A Heis a class of 6 and is very happy. He boards with a French family, take care of him very well and he comes home on weekends. From time to time, up the wrong train and called me to say it will be a bit 'yet .....
I'm not sorry to bring to France. The children here are hardworking and respectful. They have no desire to join the 10% unemployed. You do not hang around the streets drunk on weekends (even if this happened during the week of the festival). I can not rememberThe last time I saw a teenager pushing a stroller. They are not obsessed with shopping. I know that if we stayed in England, that my older system would create nothing. A comprehensive English, a child can easily get lost in the thousand-plus children. The French head of the college, knows that every child has been - is not as difficult as it is only 80 throughout the school - and all acts quickly nipped in the bud.
If you're wonderingif the train to do, I'd say "Go for it!
