In Toulouse, kindergartens are still waiting for a “real” replacement teacher since the start of the school year

Since the start of the school year on September 1, around thirty children are still waiting for their titular mistress in a Toulouse school. These children of small and medium section of class 6 of the nursery school of Patte d’Oie have seen a few substitutes for a day or two… Otherwise, they are dispatched to the other classes in the establishment. “The children do not know in the morning in which class they will be divided and have no reference point, it is really very complicated for them, they have the impression of not having been good and of being punished” say parents of students.
