the hour of the first progress for the pupils of Jérémie Fontanieu

It is by ear that we know that a class is changing. In the final year class of Jérémie Fontanieu, professor of economic and social sciences, which the editorial staff of France 2 has been following for three months, the answers are coming out and hands are raised. Even that of Grace, who has gained confidence in the oral. The teacher’s method of getting students to work is starting to bear fruit. “He gives us that confidence, thanks to his tone of voice, etc. It allows us to participate better”, says Mohammed, a final year student at Drancy high school (Seine-Saint-Denis).

“They all started this work of reappropriating the course, explains Jérémie Fontanieu. That is, I force them to make it their course and not mine. “ Its particularity: to give each week a multiple choice questionnaire marked out of ten, to force them to revise. One of the key points of his method is to establish a direct link with families. He who usually puts pressure on the students, also knows how to relieve it, when one of them is in difficulty. Appointment is made with Grace, Ridita and the others, in a few weeks to look like them towards the next step of the road to success.
