We all know key children! there are many in our primary schools. Many of them carry the key to their home suspended from a necklace. After their day, spent at school, and their midday meal in the canteen, they return home where no one is expecting them.
If their schoolwork allows them time, then they can play, but playing alone is of little value! Many are bored and spend their time on the Internet, on social networks where they find friends: but which friends and to do what?
Their parents finally arrive… to ask them to wash their clothes and in the best case to have dinner with them, then send them quickly to bed, because you have to get up early the next day to go back to school or to school. other sporting or cultural activities.
How, under these conditions, to take a liking to life? (…)
It is no wonder that some fall into anorexia nervosa or other addictions! Who can get them out?
In our society which aims for material well-being and individual promotion, the education of children to life and freedom, their openness to others and to the values of respect and solidarity are not a priority, either for lack of time , either because we do not attach great importance to it or because we think it is up to others to do it.
And yet it is the most important task of parents: let young parents time to accomplish it!

(…) In the current situation where the need for civic education and learning to live together are essential, it is high time to allow all the adults of the college to carry out these two missions. Let us take inspiration from what was done in Quebec in 1976. In the service of each teacher, there were teaching slots and at least two slots to ensure the supervision of students during school life. Indeed, how can we hope that some supervisors, who are also students, can ensure vigilance in all times and places outside the classroom? Beyond that, in the service of catering and maintenance agents, these same two ranges should be provided to recognize the place they occupy in the life of the establishment. As for the supervisors, they would continue to compensate for the unforeseen absences of the teachers, the control of the attendance, even would intervene in pairs with a teacher to supervise difficult classes.
