"He doesnâ??t think it is fair that some kids get help from their parents at home while children who come from disadvantaged families donâ??t. Itâ??s an issue that goes well beyond France, and has been part of the reason that some Americans oppose homework too.
Hollandeâ??s reform plans include increasing the number of teachers, moving the school week from four days to 4 1/2 days, overhauling the curriculum and taking steps to cut down on absenteeism.
â??Education is priority,â?? Hollande was quoted as saying by France24.com at Parisâ??s Sorbonne University last week. â??An education program is, by definition, a societal program. Work should be done at school, rather than at home,â?? as a way to ensure that students who have no help at home are not disadvantaged."
