“I think what I did will pass but I’m not very happy, I would have preferred poetry”
The novel, the theme of this year’s French test, does not seem to have delighted all the high school students at Lycée Voltaire. They are mixed, at least not thrilled. Manon left a little over an hour before the end of the race. She chose commentary because she had never done an essay. “I think what I did will pass but I’m not very happy, I would have preferred poetry”she comments.
More generally, French does not seem to be the favorite subject of high school students, even if they give importance to this first baccalaureate test. “I don’t really like French, I knew it wasn’t going to be glorious, I’m counting on the specialties next year to catch up”, recognizes Manon, who has chosen three scientific specialties. Beside her, Margot declares that French “is not very important either, well except for Parcoursup”.
One year from the end of their high school, young people already have higher education in their sights. So they do their calculations, relying a lot on mathematics. Students from 1re must at the start of the next school year abandon one of their specialties. “I’m going to drop out of engineering science. I want to become an engineer but for that, you have to do maths and physics”, confirms Simon, 16 years old. Same story for Mathis. He will abandon SVT at the start of the school year to keep mathematics and physics. “It’s important compared to schools and what they ask for, it’s better to take the maths than to be rejected. » And for those who are not fixed on their orientation, this material is seen as a security. “I don’t know what I want to do so I took complementary maths next year so as not to completely abandon the subject”testifies Samuel.
