Yes, Rachelle, as Tourangelle says.

However, it is citizenship in the legal sense (citizenship, voting procedures, and so on) rather than anything moral or ethical.

Still a good idea though, even if there isn't much of it.

Anyway, discipline.  Yes, French schools are probably generally stricter than British schools, but discipline can still be a major problem, and it's a problem that's growing.

Once again I think it comes down to location and whether or not the school wants to acknowledge a problem and deal with it. A local college (not my son's) failed to do anything about a pupil with known behavioural difficulties who forced another boy to perform a serious sex act on him. The school turned a blind eye and even refused to help with the police investigation.

The French government produces a 'league table' of violent acts per establishment so you can look up your own school and see what has gone on. Lycees professionels were by far the worst as I remember.

In 2006 there were over 80,000 violent incidents in French schools. Unfortunately I can't remember the web address but if I do, I'll post it. It made interesting reading.
