In the House

- Hello Germain.

- Anouck!

- Are you okay?

- Yes, and you?

- You had good holiday?

- Yes, and you?

- I went to Britain, as always.

- Good.

Come on, we're late.

- You had your assignment?

- Yes.

- Like it?

- Yes I am a teacher leader in 2nd half C.

- All right, no?

- Yes, of course.

- You read the note?

- Yes.

"The triumph of republican equality"

What a demagogue!

- You look good pessimist!

- I read Schopenhauer's all summer.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Robert, how are you?

Dear colleagues, we can begin.

Move on please.

Come on, dont be shy.

- All I hear?

- Yes!

They received a note explaining

The big news for this year.

Were no longer a classic high school.

Were now a "pilot" high school

This is a cause for pride.

The opportunity to start a new basis,

to experience...

New teaching guidelines...,

handcuffed to the traditions...

The uniform...,

for all students...

...In a school with a public

socially diverse...

...The uniform is a symbol

bold.

Yes, bold, will finally be

the same for all students...

... a brand of equality.

IN THE HOUSE:

How was it?

You could have come.

- It's been so long since I went to church.

- There was a mass. Bruno was buried.

I was neither family,

or a friend of Bruno.

I dont want to be alone.

I wanted to talk to someone.

I saw the twins.

They described Bruno to me.

I didnt know if I had to give my

condolences, but when I was...

...One of the two approached me,

impossible to know,...

...And told me they were going to come by the

gallery tomorrow to talk about the future.

Germain?

- You hear me?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Shall I change and go to the movies?

- Okay, we're going to correct and finish.

- Theyre so bad this year?

- The worst I've seen in my life.

- It's creepy!

- You said the same thing earlier years.

Listen to this:

Saturday ate pizza and watched TV,

Sunday I did nothing, I was tired.

He was given 30min. Two sentences!

Saturday:
Tele-pizza, Sunday: Nothing!

I asked for a poem in verses,

just tell me your about weekend...

...To see if they could write more

than two sentences. And Theyre able!

Listen to this:

Not like Sundays.

On Saturdays I do like...

... but on Saturday my father would

not let me out, and I took my phone.

I wanted to convey the teaching

taste for literature...

And I find... what?

Cellular and pizzas!

The worst isnt ignorance.

It's the future. Theyre the future!

Reactionary philosophers

predict the invasion of the barbarians...

...But Theyre in our classes!

"My last weekend."

Claude Garcia.

On Saturday, I went to study where

Raphael Artol...

Thanks, honey.

I had that idea because the weather was

I wanted to get into your home.

Last summer, every afternoon, I went

to look at your home from the park...

... but one night, I saw your mother

peering from the sidewalk out front.

Friday, taking advantage of Rafa

had fared poorly in math,...

... I offered help with the workshops

and tasks.

Obviously, it was only a pretext, I knew

that if accepted, I would go to his house...

... since I live in a neighbourhood

where Rafa will never come.

11am touched the bell,

and finally the house was opened to me.

I followed Rafa to his room,

its just as I had imagined...

busy... I left with a problem

trigonometry...

... and on the pretext of fetching

a Coke, I explored the house,...

... this very house in which,

many times I had imagined being inside.

Its much larger

than I thought...

mine would... fit 4 times inside

everything is clean and tidy.

"Enough for today," I thought...

... and just when I was coming back

with Rafa, a smell struck me...

... a smell particular to

women of the middle class.

I followed the scent

to the living room.

There, sitting on the couch,

leafing through a decorating magazine...

... I met the hostess,

Rafa's mother.

I looked at her until she lifted her eyes,

which were the same colour as the sofa...

"Good morning, are you Charles?".

Her voice!

Where are these women taught to speak?

"No, I'm Claude," I replied,

holding her gaze...

- Looking for the bathrooms?

- The kitchen.

She accompanied me.

"You want ice?"

"Help yourself. Make yourself at home." She said.

And returned to the couch to read her magazine...

Back to Rafas room

I solved his trigonometry problem.

Youre going to need a lot of help

with math this year.

(To be continued..)

- Wrote "continued..."?

- Yes, in parentheses.

- You put a 17?

- There are no misspellings and is better than the rest.

- Who is this guy?

- It's..

Claude... Garcia.

Dont know them all yet.

You gave him a 17,

when he mocks his friend and his mother?

This year we will study the great authors

of French literature.

La Fontaine, the best example

between substance and form.

Above all to encourage them to write,

to defend a point of view...

...To express themselves, to tell stories.

Dont forget about the adjectives

homework, on Monday.

Try to read a little.

I like to see them with books sometimes.

Forget their phones.

I count on you books, books!

Some curiosity.

- You wanted to see me sir?

- Yes.

About your composition

on the weekend.

- You wrote it?

- Yes, why?

- I am worried. Can you teach me?

- Yes.

What's my mark?

I always get confused with semi-colons.

No, your mark is pretty good.

I know I'm better at science,

but this year I want to improve in French.

Actually, its the content.

You talk about a guy of course and his family.

They might take offense.

Why?

Has anyone else read my essay?

Not yet, but I might show it to

the Director, to see what he thinks.

I didnt write it for the Director.

I wrote it for you.

How do you think your friend

Rafa would feel if he read this:

The smell struck me...

... a smell particular to

middle class women.

But this isnt the worst.

It's what's between the lines!

Tone! If you do read in front of the class,

how would your friend Rafa take it?

I dont know. It was your idea, we

were asked to write about our weekend.

I dont know what you intended,

but lets forget it.

You can go.

Sir? I can give you my adjectives homework?

- Its not due until Monday, you have time.

- Yes, but I did it yesterday and...

...I understood that it was

fill in the adjectives from the list...

For composition... but didnt know

whether to follow the order...

- ... or if I could change it.

- No matter. Never mind.

And I didnt know if we could use

more adjectives than those on the list...

Give it to me on Monday.

Youll have time to go over it again.

Id prefer to give it now. This weekend

I want to concentrate on mathematics.

Goodbye.

"Write a composition using

the following adjectives:..."

... happy, different, normal,

well, focused, small, great...

Hello Rafa!

On I Monday offered to work together

with Rafael Artol again...

... trigonometry. He was delighted, and the

same evening he invited me to his house.

Want to come to my home,

this afternoon?

Rafa, why Rafa?
