Today was the first day of the "Grande école" for my son. "Grande école" for small kids in French kindergardens mean that they are finally in Primary school, where they will learn reading and writing and lots of other skills.
I had the day off in order to organize the school year, which takes more than a day here, because all activities need to be planned at the beginning of the school year.
At 4h30, I took him at school, and got back an exhausted little boy.
The difference of school between what my son lives now and what I lived 40 years ago is quite amazing: during the first few days, I had just 2 hours of school, whereas he has had 5 hours of school for already 2 years....
