“We are asked to welcome first dropout boys from 3rd grade, then dropout boys from 4th grade, then dropout girls from 3rd grade and finally dropout girls from 4th grade. »Here is the instruction received by the teachers of the Collège Victor-Hugo in Aulnay-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis) from the principal, as part of the resumption of classroom lessons, after two and a half months of closure . Faced with this "sexist directive", the teachers sent a letter to the rector of the Créteil Academy. "We, the signatories of this letter, refusing to endorse this sexist directive," they write.

“We were alerted at the end of last week and the problem has been resolved since Friday evening. It is a clumsiness of the head teacher. There are no instructions to this effect. We will not sort the students according to whether they are girls or boys, ”replied the academic management of Seine-Saint-Denis to the Parisian . But contacted by the newspaper, a professor does not believe it.

"I find it hard to believe in an awkwardness," reacts this Sunday evening a teacher from the college concerned, who will therefore be on the lookout for new instructions on Monday. "In this case, I will be able to list the students I want to bring back. It turns out that in my class they are… dropouts. "
