I was talking to another mother (French) at the school gate this morning. She worked as a French teacher for a while in the US, and believes that schools that don't expect too much in the way of perfect behaviour from pupils allow pupils more freedom to learn. She thinks that the French way (the enforcement of strict discipline and rules) means that the children spend so much time concentrating on "being good" that they haven't got enough concentration left to really learn.
What do you think?
