Permanent ban from practicing.

A teacher from Carquefou, near Nantes, was sentenced to this sanction on Monday as well as a 30-month suspended prison sentence for "violence" inflicted on several of her students.

The Nantes Criminal Court also found the teacher guilty of "moral harassment" on several of her colleagues, including the director of the Saint-Joseph school, an establishment in the north of the Nantes metropolis.

“I always think of the children who have suffered.

We had a lot of testimonies after the trial of other children.

So, I think for them, it is certainly a relief, ”said the latter, Philippe Plantard, specifying that the children concerned were educated in elementary school.

In its decision, in accordance with the requisitions of the public prosecutor, the court also condemned the teacher to pay several thousand euros in damages to the victims.

"Relief for the children"

"What was reproached to this school teacher was a way of treating children that was sometimes physically abrupt, and it was above all repeated humiliations going as far as the crying of the child, with a pedagogical alibi that does not can no longer be retained today, ”said Me Cécile de Oliveira, who was defending the family of one of the schoolchildren.

“It is a judgment which is quite strong because symbolically, it comes to signify very clearly that the behavior of what is called ordinary educational violence is unacceptable in the school world”, she welcomed.

“The most important thing for us was the ban on practicing.

We feel a huge relief for the children, ”reacted Claire, whose daughter Juliette was among the victims.

The teacher has ten days to appeal the court's decision.
