(AFP) By release.FR The custom help to struggling students did not satisfy the teachers responsible for its implementation. This is what emerges from a survey conducted by SNUipp-FSU, main Union Elementary. The reserves of the teachers of the schools were already known. Some of them, being called the "désobéisseurs", had even refused to apply the measure, initiated by Xavier Darcos in 2009. Principle: two hours a week of academic support for students in difficulty, performed before or after school, or even at the midday break. Among the 18 625 teachers of schools that responded to the inquiry of the Snuipp (1), 80% consider that the effectiveness of the device, intended to combat school failure in primary, is not satisfactory: 63% "little or no", 17% "not at all". Beyond this observation, it is the Organization of assistance to struggling students challenged. 1. The custom help, a "lifeline by default" Some teachers - anonymously - cited in the investigation acknowledged: personal assistance (PA) can be effective. "The PA is really useful for students who have small difficulties," said a witness. The main positive point, quoted by 48.7% of teachers, is to "work with a small group of students". 54,52% of them also believe that device to "create a relationship of trust with the teacher." "Custom help allows especially to find a contact with our students (contact lost by a lack of clear time)," judge a professor. But many complain that the AP is substituted for "Rased" teachers, specialized in heavy challenges. 44% of the interviewees believe that some students benefiting from the AP would need teachers "Rased", but they are not supported. "The PA has been barely disguised the disappearance of the Rased wrapping", it reads in the investigation of the SNUipp. In fact, specialized teachers have been the great sacrifice of the wave of abolition of posts in education, conducted during the quinquennium Sarkozy. "The PA becomes more boost but a lifeline by default", finds a teacher. 2. A device which increases the workloads For 80% of the teachers, the main adverse effect of the measure is the lengthening of the workday of students. After deleting Saturday morning and the passage to the week of four days in almost all of the schools (before a possible return to 5 days?), the niche for the AP were more numerous. It has therefore been organized before 8: 30 a.m., lunch or after 4: 30 pm. "Missing two hours to all students for the gym, drawing, music and all the small things to blow;" "now they can no longer enjoy the school, runs constantly," said a teacher. "Children little or not available and attentive (asleep in the morning, hungry noon, tired at night)", supports another. The availability and effectiveness of teachers is also feels that 73% of them. "I run after time and my attitude in class feels: less patience with children and a lot of fatigue.»". 3 Vincent Peillon under pressure The General Secretary of SNUipp, Sébastien Sihr, take the results of this investigation to take to witness the new Minister of Education, Vincent Peillon. "At the time where the Minister opens consultation, this investigation will count for that aid the school difficulty either totally revamped, he says." "It will have to be ensured in the future on the common time for all students and, for this, we rely on the promise of François Hollande to have"more than masters to classes"". If the relief of see the right leaving the power is important, the expectations and the pressure on the new Government are equally.
