I was part of the school council when we were in Pabu. It was interesting. Meetings went smoothly. There was a good relationship between the teaching staff and the parents. The village council was committed to the school. It was a small village as well. But I think the Breton mentality with their hard working ethos helped make things go well.
Things are so different here. I thought it would be interesting to get elected here again. So, I am a member of the primary school council here. The first meeting was yesterday. It was the complete opposite to the situation in Brittany. The relationship with the town council could be better, and the relationship between the headmistress and the parents is not the best ever.
There were long discussions on various topics, and everyone wanted to have a say. But it is still good to be part of this.
