Impact accused the editor-in-chief of Marianne of targeting Mohamed, an 18-year-old student, without knowing his academic record. According to Impact, the young man had submitted 80 applications to become a nurse and received 80 rejections. The account reported that the editor-in-chief believed his record was probably mediocre, as nursing programs are very selective, and that he should have also applied to other programs, as his teachers had advised him. #Éducation #Infirmier #Réussite (translated)

Alma Dufour judged that the responsibility for the degradation, which she deemed unacceptable, lay entirely with Emmanuel Macron. She accused him of having despised peaceful social movements, of not having respected the result of the 2024 elections, and of having, according to her, plunged France into recession and significantly increased poverty. She also mentioned a liter of gasoline at 2.4 euros and claimed that there were more deaths in emergencies than homicides. Dufour accused the president of having had children who feared they had no future blinded, due to the elimination of thousands of university places and the lack of teachers. She estimated that the consequences of his policy were "1,000 times more violent" than the events of Saturday and asked where the outrage was in the face of the suicides of children from the child welfare system, the caregivers who self-immolated due to a lack of resources, and the female judges who hanged themselves in their offices. She concluded that Macron's government had destroyed the country and that the events of the previous day were a symptom of this. #Macron #France #Injustice (translated)

TrashTalk estimated that the violence that occurred on Saturday overshadowed the peaceful demands of thousands of people mobilized to defend their rights. It mentioned the distress of various groups, including young people, high school students, farmers, teachers, firefighters, and nurses, and stated that some desperate young people were contemplating no longer living. The media criticized part of the press for prioritizing viewership and extreme editorial lines at the expense of these concerns. It also acknowledged the injured journalists on the ground and called on its colleagues not to let the rioters divert attention from the movement's demands. Referring to a lesson learned from its journalist parent, TrashTalk invited people to question who benefited from the situation and who triggered the violence. Finally, the media expressed its desire to use its message to support the three French basketball players who, according to it, were in the WNBA finals, asserting that it was part of its responsibilities. #Média #Responsabilité #Société (translated)

Press reports indicated that in Cergy, teachers discovered on Pronote messages from a police officer, transmitted by their principal, asking them to report demonstrations and banners or signs.

Press reports indicated that calls to mobilize on Saturday, October 17, against the high cost of living and the rise in fuel, energy, and food prices were multiplying on social media since the end of summer. According to the account, the movement remained difficult to measure but had been joined by high school and student organizations, the CGT, the Confédération paysanne, and several truck driver organizations. Historical figures from the Yellow Vests were also calling for participation, while a mobilization of young people had been ongoing for several weeks. The account added that young people were showing up on social media wearing yellow vests and that tutorials were circulating, particularly on protection against tear gas. RMC mentioned a possible "convergence of anger," it reported. It also cited a police source interviewed by Le Figaro, which deemed the call still uncertain and emphasized that a mobilization announced on social media did not always translate into high participation. Press reports specified that around a site where the movement seemed to be structuring, hundreds of actions were announced or recorded for Saturday, including demonstrations and gatherings near roundabouts, gas stations, refineries, and oil depots. The call was directed among others to the Yellow Vests, young people, farmers, firefighters, workers, teachers, healthcare workers, climate defenders, residents of neighborhoods, and retirees. The account finally reported that some hoped for a revolution or a vast movement of discontent, while the extent of the mobilization remained to be determined. #Mobilisation #GiletsJaunes #ConvergenceDesColères (translated)

Louis Duclos described as a "seismic" event the fact that one-third of the national education budget is devoted to pensions, while high school students were protesting. He stated that pension expenditures exceeded 420 billion euros, more than the GDP of Portugal, and estimated that they were widening the gap between generations and weighing on the working population. He also mentioned the condition of certain high schools, the unfilled teaching positions, the difficulties related to Parcoursup, and the challenges faced by young people in finding employment or housing. According to him, the youth had reasons to be angry, although he specified that the retirees, who had contributed all their lives, should not be blamed. He called for a profound reform of the system and advocated for France to invest more in its youth. #Éducation #Retraites #Jeunesse (translated)

Maxime Sbaihi described the information that a third of the budget allocated to national education would not finance education as a "real bomb." He stated that this announcement came during a day of mobilization and, in his opinion, brought the figures of national accounting closer to the feelings of high school students and their teachers. #Éducation #Mobilisation #Lycéens (translated)

The author wrote that the right to the future was disregarded and that an opaque algorithm determined the fate of high school students.

Guillaume Herblot presented Laure Westphal as a doctor in psychology, a teacher at Sciences Po, and a clinician at GHU Paris, and criticized her comments on the case of a 14-year-old student who shot her teacher and principal. He summarized her analysis as an explanation based on supremacist, masculinist, and far-right ideas, and deemed it inappropriate for the student's age. Herblot believed that this ideological reading diverted attention from issues such as the circulation of arms and the collapse of authority. He accused public service of operating as a "propaganda factory" and called this approach grotesque. https://t.co/c97F87Nc2C #Psychologie #Éducation #Société (translated)

Elisabeth R! reported an exchange in which a woman, whom she referred to with an insulting term, asked whether a young person who shot at his teachers should first be treated.

Jo Zefka wrote that the drop in standards also concerned teachers. He presented it as a consequence of the devaluation of the profession, which in turn, he claimed, exacerbated the degradation of education. He added that the number of teachers he deemed lacking in culture and intellectual capabilities in middle schools and high schools was becoming increasingly visible. #Éducation #Enseignement #Professeurs (translated)
