Repetition for learning: rethinking school in the age of learning agents

Contemporary schools still conflate teaching, repetition, and certification within a single space: the synchronized classroom. This organization produces mechanisms of pedagogical confinement that discourage struggling students as much as it slows down the most advanced.

This article proposes an alternative architecture: rehabilitating repetition as a legitimate learning space through AI agents designed not as automated teachers, but as digital tutors controlled by professors. The goal is not to replace humans, but to restore the conditions for genuine, asynchronous, and demanding progress, while simultaneously reinforcing the value of academic certification.

A reflection on the future of school, university and knowledge in the age of artificial intelligence.

French without France – Three sentences and a doctrine

Three statements by Emmanuel Macron on regional languages, African Francophonie, and Arabic in France reveal the same underlying confusion: that of speaking about the French language without considering it as a language of civilization. Regional languages ​​were not enemies of the nation; the demographic vitality of French in Africa does not erase its French history; the presence of Arabic in France cannot, on its own, redefine our language policy. Defending French does not mean rejecting other languages, but rather remembering that a shared language is also a memory, a requirement, and a discipline of the mind.

The review of sentences in the Paty trial

It is time to break with these legal ambiguities that undermine the social contract. The restoration of the Republic requires a justice system that names terrorism without euphemism, a massive revaluation of the teaching profession, and a secularism that yields nothing to fanaticism. Samuel Paty did not die so that his indirect murderers could benefit from reduced sentences in the name of an ill-informed youth or insufficiently proven intent. Let us protect the public education system, or accept its decline and the end of republican meritocracy. The time for leniency is over.

The meaning of our fight

A profound reversal of values ​​and benchmarks is currently affecting the intellectual, educational, and social spheres. Identity ideologies are distorting historical struggles for equality, emptying them of their meaning. It is urgent to reestablish critical thinking, armed with knowledge and rigor, to stand up against this charade that is blurring the transmission of reality.

Job profiles in inclusive writing: the administration backtracks

The period of Le Mars sees a proliferation of job advertisements for recruitment in higher education establishments of which the INSPE are now part in complete autonomy. The word "autonomy" is undoubtedly inappropriate when talking about the civil service, as some believe themselves to be freed by the performative magic of the word from any accountability to the public that finances them. Through our unprecedented mobilization, we have managed to force the administration to back down!

Censorship in US School Libraries: What Now for the Bible?

The American and international media have recently echoed a barely conceivable piece of news: the Davis County School District (95 schools for 72000 students, very close to Salt Lake City, Utah) had just announced its decision to ban lower school levels (5-13 years old) from accessing the venerable King James Bible (1611), the very one on which George Washington took the oath on April 30, 1789.
