The justifications for blocking the high schools seem doubtful to me. Looking a bit at the videos of the demands: ▫️"We are 25 or 30 per class" Well... that's not a lot, 25 or 30, in middle school and high school, we were between 35 and 40 every year... ▫️"The facilities are unsanitary" Well, that's often a reality, but a few minutes on TikTok are enough to understand that it's partly due to repeated damage by the students. ▫️"The class hours from 8 AM to 6 PM are too long" It's always been like that and we already have a lot of vacations; it's either one or the other. ▫️The cost and quality of the cafeteria: they are right about this, but with such a low cost relative to the real price and inflation, it's a logical consequence. ▫️Parcoursup and the future: this is the fault of the system that wants to give the Bac to everyone, even though there are no more job prospects. The problem is not Parcoursup but the too large number of high school students. ▫️"We are not replacing teachers" Given the working conditions, it’s not surprising. Overall, it only takes 5 minutes to watch the hundreds of videos to understand the issue. 80% of high school students don't care about the above demands; most are there for opportunism. The argument about disparities between suburbs and city centers is real, especially for Paris (the high schools in the center that pretend to support the movement are bold), but once again, the financial means allocated there are greater than for other territories, peri-urban or rural, and there are no riots there. And we can see clearly that this is just a pretext for the riot. We hear "the police are attacking the high school students." Really, I didn't think that by burning the high school entrance and throwing cobblestones at the riot police, they would charge back... All of this promises an explosive year in 2027… (translated)

I wanted to remain sober at first and not speak, but I have thought a lot about Malek since the announcement of his passing, and I told myself that it was a good thing to pay tribute to him. I met him on a TeamSpeak we called "TS Netteux" back in the day, over 10 years ago now. It was a TS where almost the entire French subtop scene of the early CS:GO was present. I still don't know how I ended up there since I was just a guy who played on FACEIT and had never played as a team. I found myself with pros and semi-pros from the scene, and I was so happy to be with those guys and to be able to play with them. My only obsession was for one of them to give me a chance to play with them as a team. There were several young players in the same situation on the TS, we had no concept of team play, we only thought about individual skill and making highlights to impress the subtop players. I remember one day when Malek had us join a server, with other guys like me who were hanging around on the TS. We were on Dust2, and he was telling us to imagine a line that divides the map in two, the bombsite A and the bombsite B, and that the goal as terrorists was to go to the bombsite where there were the least CTs. He also made comments about our approach to the game: "You only think about shooting and getting kills, but in a round, the time you spend shooting an enemy is 2 seconds. You put all your attention on those 2 seconds, but what are you doing for the next 1 minute and 40 seconds, and what can you do to help your team win the round?" He was teaching us the basics of team play, and we listened to him attentively. I had the opportunity to run into him at LANs from time to time and chat a bit with him. We weren't particularly close, but the exchanges were always fascinating and very direct with him. I think he wanted to be validated by his peers, like all of us, the players and more broadly, the actors of the CS scene in France. And it's true that having a track record helps a lot to obtain that validation, but I think it's important to value his work, and more broadly the work of passionate people in the scene, whether they have a track record or have done great things in the competitive scene or not. Rest in peace, Malek. (translated)

🚨 Jérémy Jacquet 🇫🇷 évoque à quel point Zinedine Zidane 🇫🇷 EST PROCHE DES JOUEURS : « Le coach m'avait annoncé deux jours avant que je jouerais. Il est très proche de nous tous. Je ne suis pas dans sa tête, mais il donne à chacun l'opportunité de se montrer, et tout le monde a saisi sa chance. IL N'A PAS PEUR DE FAIRE JOUER DES JEUNES ou des joueurs qui comptent peu de sélections. Il échange beaucoup avec les cadres et, quand il a quelque chose à me dire, il me le fait savoir. Globalement, IL EST TRÈS PROCHE DE L'ÉQUIPE et il s'exprime toujours tranquillement quand il a un message à faire passer. » 🎙️ @TF1 #Zidane #Football #ÉquipeFrance
