  • A Breton teacher gives virtual classes to the little ones every day at 3 p.m. live on YouTube.
  • Its chain "The mistress goes live" was a great success during the confinement and already has nearly 89,000 subscribers.
  • While she was to return to school on Monday, the rector of the Rennes Academy will finally authorize her to continue her online lessons until the end of the school year.

She became a YouTube star during the confinement. Every day at 3 p.m., Marie-Solène Letoqueux, alias "The mistress goes live", provides live virtual class for kindergarten children. The success was quickly met since its channel now has nearly 90,000 subscribers and its videos several hundred thousand views. But on Monday, this small section teacher in a school in Luitré, on the border of Ille-et-Vilaine and Mayenne, announced very bad news to all her fans. "I will have to stop the program," she said, very moved. I'm sorry, I would like to continue but I have to go back to my class. ”

An announcement that had "the effect of a bomb", she recognizes. "Many parents have sent me messages of support and some have even written to the ministry asking that I continue the online courses," said the teacher.

An online petition has even emerged to demand that the show continue until the end of the school year. "Some municipalities will not open small section or middle section classes, some parents will decide to keep the children at home and the program" The mistress goes live "became an essential event to help our children keep the rhythm ”, it is indicated in the petition, claiming that the program continues“ for the good of our children ”.

She already thought about following the program

The sling of parents and children seems to have been heard. On the occasion of a press point on the resumption of classes, the rector of Rennes academy said this Wednesday morning that he was going to allow the Breton mistress "to continue to go live" until the end of the school year.

Contacted by 20 Minutes , who told her the news, Marie-Solène still finds it hard to believe. "It was planned that I stop Friday but of course I wanted to continue," says the teacher, who now awaits the call of the rector to find out the terms of his replacement. One thing is certain, the teacher will not lack resources to end the year. "I already had everything planned and thought about the themes to come," she says.
