1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,360
I am a teacher in several secondary
schools in Seine-Saint-Denis (93).

2
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,560
The teachers are angry,
and their anger is getting bigger,

3
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,080
not only in high schools,
but also in primary schools.

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,160
There are less and less financial
and other resources.

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,280
There are less teaching materials,
shielded classes,

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:26,800
the high schools are
overcrowded.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,800
All over France, classes
get canceled.

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
The anger is getting
bigger and bigger.

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,200
I am employed at 
two schools in Saint-Denis.

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,400
There are colleagues
who have decided

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,840
not to serve as
class teachers anymore.

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,760
That means they are not doing
any care or support work,

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,200
like taking care of the
school career of students.

14
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,400
We don't do this for fun,
it is about our students.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
We try to change
the balance of power.

16
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,520
Everybody knows that the working
conditions are getting worse,

17
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,960
that the demands are rising while there
are less and less resources to use.

18
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,120
We all know that this new
law on "schools of trust"

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,840
is just nonsense, and that's
why we don't want it.

20
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,800
We defend the students
and our working conditions.

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,360
The new law will make us even more
precarious, we will have to work more.

22
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,560
And we will all go crazy.
Therefore: Stop!

23
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,160
Here we have a massive
demonstration of teachers.

24
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:44,320
At the front are the teachers
from high schools and primary schools

25
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,560
with an [Esprit ???] against
Blanquer and Macron.

26
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,960
This is not just for one single day,
we want to strike again,

27
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,440
particularly in Seine-Saint-Denis
because we see no improvements.

28
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,520
Every week teachers go to
the regional education board

29
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,920
and ask for more teaching materials,
for more hours,

30
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,720
and for more tutors,
but so far we haven't gotten anything.

31
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,560
The situation has gotten very
difficult for teachers

32
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,320
as well as for students, and
that's why we demonstrate

33
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,520
and will continue
to demonstrate.

34
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,720
It has to be said as well that this
movement has existed for several months.

35
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:22,920
As the movement of Red Pens it
followed the movement of the Yellow Vests

36
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,120
which has prepared and triggered
this general spirit of revolt.

37
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,320
Let's see how
this will proceed.

38
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,840
It is unlikely
that this will end soon

39
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,600
because the conditions
are not getting better.

40
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,800
The new law is about
to make things even worse.
