Education in French

French guvernery ... This notion of linked very large associations, which of course came to the day today as much of the nineteenth century. It was the French trusted educators of their children Russian nobility, hoping to see her child in the refinement of taste, refinement of manners, the ability to talk together extensive knowledge - albeit slowly, but everything. What is behind this beautiful, but very much a literary way, as far as it corresponds to reality?

Employed or unemployed mother?
Home Education in France does not enjoy popularity. Frenchwoman not sit with children at home, they prefer to work and are doing so for many reasons.

First, life in France is very expensive, and to ensure their child, the mother very early after birth is at work. Parental leave - six weeks before and ten weeks after the birth of a baby - for women, which at least two years before the birth worked at his company.

Secondly, the French mothers are afraid that being forced to idle in the work they lose their skills and then will not be able to find.

In addition, the majority of French mothers believe that early socialization kid - putting it in the community, learning to communicate with other people - will only benefit, because the child is developing in a team is much better for a company with the friends he begins to play, read, draw, in addition, it is early to understand what discipline is and how important it is to be disciplined, quickly mastering the skills needed in everyday life: how to deal with the cutlery, how to dress and undress themselves, tie shoelaces, to use the toilet, etc. French children are so naturally perceive that their mothers are working, that the dead woman may hear from your child's question: "Mom, you are not working because the pain?"

An interesting detail of the household: in many public kindergartens and recreational centers, children whose mothers do not work, do not allow the cafeteria and they have to go home for dinner. It's very uncomfortable for the child, who does not eat with their friends and be a rush to catch sbegat home and back.

French mom does not go to work most often in cases where the family is the second child and, especially, when the third born. Then the woman takes care of the babies herself. French Lessons with kids moms little different from classes for kids of Russian women: they, along with the child to examine the image in the books, show items and explain how they are called and what is served, play cubes, pyramids gather and watch cartoons.

Corporal punishment of children has always been a huge rarity in France. Defaulter is usually punished by depriving him of any entertainment or goodies. Reward or punishment was considered the abolition of money promoting. Each child had their own box, where the child fold the money donated to him.

Grandparents take little part in the upbringing of the grandchildren, and to bring them to do so in France is not accepted. Grandmother or grandfather can sometimes take a walk with the baby, bring it into a circle or section. By the way, clubs for children in France is very much like the various associations involved with the kids, and it is relatively inexpensive.

As home care in the employment context, the parents are not very important, in France is well developed education system, including pre-school stage.

The French education system
The educational system of modern France is divided into four sections: elementary, middle and high schools, the last step - this is high school (university). Also as in modern Russia, along with free public domain educational institutions which are controlled by the state, in France there are also private schools, which typically are administered by non-state or religious organizations and are paid. Terms of stay in both public and private institutions often depend on where they are located, because France is divided into a small region of 22 and 96 departments. The departments in turn are subdivided into 327 districts, 3828 the cantons and 36 551 communes, so in each individual case should be treated in the local government or directly to the director of nurseries, kindergartens and schools. Communes - a unit of local government which are managed by public utilities board (he was elected by popular vote) and the mayor, who chose the members of the municipal council. The duties of the Board include the adoption of the local budget, determine the amount of local taxes, the solution of various problems in the municipality.

Today's French nursery ready to take in foster children as young as three years. The tradition of giving a baby to care almost since its birth, there is in France for a long time. Do not have a baby born in, as it is immediately sent to some village where the child grew and was brought up to two or three years, or with a two-week age were determined in institutions for infants, the so-called "creche" (crib) where the child spent the whole day till night, when it does not come by their parents. Nursery child attended the same until about two or three years. Now the French "creche" Children are a different age, it all depends on conditions specific nurseries. The French government nursery - "creche collective" open, usually from Monday to Friday.

Domestic issues are solved in a manger as follows. For the youngest children - grudnichkov - parents need to ensure that each day brings a special blend of milk, or who nyanechki and caregivers will feed the baby.
