D’après les chiffres de la Drees publiés mercredi 18 juin, près de 82 000 personnes âgées de 10 ans ou plus ont été hospitalisées au moins une fois pour un geste auto-infligé.
That sounds like a similar system to what the UK introduced after WW2. It was scrapped in most of the country in the 1970s for the downsides you’ve mentioned.
I never had to do it, but instead had to study why it was scrapped. I’m surprised it’s still a common system in highly developed countries such as France!
@Zombie@pasdechance of course it wasn’t *entirely* scrapped - two of my friends (both also teachers) have children in the Wirral and Bucks, both of which still have grammars. They hate it for the psychological pressure, the financial burden (it rewards rich kids who get tutors) and the difficulty for local non-grammars to meet targets without a normal mix of students.
Anecdotally: my mum passed and my uncle didn’t, and I suspect it’s affected their sibling dynamic ever since.
