At 8 am, this Thursday morning, more than 500,000 high school students in general and technological fields will push the door of the school to take the philosophy test. A really very special baccalaureate this year …
Indeed, only the philosophy test was maintained in person this year (with the grand oral), due to the health crisis. And this test, this Thursday, June 17, is highly criticized.
Indeed, only the best mark will be retained, between that obtained in the face-to-face test this Thursday, June 17 … and that of the continuous control, on the sole condition of having returned his copy. All other events were canceled in person. Continuous assessment will prevail and will represent, at a minimum, 82% of the final average of high school students.
“Some told me they would come in flip flops”
“The students will come on Thursday to simply show up. Some even told me they would come in flip flops, while others are throwing contests over who will make the best joke on their copy.“, explains Nicolas Franck to AFP, president of the association of professors of philosophy of public education (Appep). He denounces a”masquerade“. “Nobody takes this test seriously, but it mobilizes many people to organize it everywhere in France, to correct copies … Certainly for nothing“, he laments.
