Lori Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Does anyone know if the proposed November 20th strike will affect only primary schools or will colleges and lycees take part??I've searched the web and all I can find are articles asking for full participation, nothing seems clear.

NormanH Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 "Les écoles maternelles et élémentaires risquent d'être fortement perturbées le 20 novembre prochain."from Le Figarosuggests to me it's just the primary sector.On the other hand it also says"Ce mouvement sera la temps fort d'une semaine d'action dans toute l'Education nationale (17-21 novembre)"but it sounds like the strike in the Primarieswill be the high point, so perhaps no strike elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Thanks Norman. Yes, I saw that and several other articles asking other members of the various unions to participate. I just couldn't find where a decision had been made. Guess I'll just have to wait for daughter's college to let us know - I'm sure at the very last minute.

Frenchie Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Lori, nothing seems in view in my lyçée. Looks like a normal day ahead .Have you had any news about it where you are ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Nothing formal yet. The 'talk' is about.Quite often we do not know for sure until one or two days prior to the proposed strike date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 It makes you wonder how they find the time to go on strike. [:D]Our neighbours both work at the same Monday to Friday boarding school for special needs children as non-teaching staff. By the end of this week they will have worked just four days in the last three weeks (which of course included the half term hols). [6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kas33 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Is this a coincidence?November 20th was a strike day last year...just happens to be my son's birthday I haven't told him the potential good news yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneySuckleDreams Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 no 3 son (CM1) has just informed us that his teacher is on strike on the 20th. No. 1 and 2 sons at college have no idea....no change there then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneySuckleDreams Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 No1 and 2 sons were told at lunchtime that there is no college tomorrow. Wifey bumped into their gym teacher, shopping, who said the reason they left it so late to tell the parents was that the strike would have the maximum effect this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 What's this strike about then? What are the teachers cross about?(My son's primaire school is open but it's private school so isn't affected.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
