[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m under the impression the French system is very rigid, with no room for creativity. For example, in preschool, all the preschoolers draw apples that look exactly like the teacher’s model. I’ve never heard of people seeking it out unless they plan to eventually return to France.[/quote] OP here, I have read some things about rigidity. Wouldn't that be the case really in any academically rigorous program? To your example above, I believe that in maternelle (preschool/K) there is a strong focus on development of handwriting, which I could see relating to the apple drawing you describe. I'm not sure; however, how this would relate to other rigorous programs and whether the French system is somehow "less creative"? Particularly so long as the school had plenty of specials, e.g. art, music, etc.[/quote]
