who noted that future graduates of the L series would no longer teaching science or mathematics in terminal? Who expressed concern that removal of scientific rationality on which the high school reform condemns students who have completed this industry? Person.
The media frenzy has focused around the teaching of history in the S series, which can not fail to make uncomfortable those who adopt a republican point of view on the functioning of the school. Because this way of flying to the rescue of the tank S, that is to say, the elite class of high school, is very strange, even suspicious.
Defending the teaching of history through other requirements. For example the introduction of a historical education in technological fields that are completely private. Or that of the mainstream history of science and technology in higher education of scientists and technicians.
Activation of this agitation is the result of what we must call the historians' guild, a corporation that does not only teachers but also journalists, writers, politicians. It has therefore relay very efficient and quick to mobilize, as we have seen.
Since the nineteenth century, the corporation has managed to convince of the absolute necessity of teaching the discipline. Thus history has been integrated into the general culture, which is highly positive. To say that history is essential to understand the world, there is a step which is a bit too quickly passed. Other social sciences are largely equally important, but it does not enjoy the same same concern. This is unfortunate: the economy, geography, sociology, too, are indispensable and deserves to be part of the culture of honest XXI century.
Finally: one wonders what the biggest threat to the teaching of history: the optional terminal schedule S or a proposal to limit the formation of those who must teach a vague companionship with their colleagues. After all, he will explain how the knowledge of an aspect of history culminating in a Masters, is a guarantee for the transmission of knowledge Historical and training to the practice of this transmission.
