Microsuede Microfiber Difference

* Teacher report of Paris 3 *

We, teachers of the University Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3, are in conflict since Jan. 26 to express our rejection of cons-reforms extremely dangerous as the government tries to impose on us.
our students, from the beginning, fighting alongside us for the same objectives and against the same opponents.

In various forms, we have suspended our usual lessons and it is clear today that we can not, as if nothing had happened, organize the final exams of the semester and evaluate our students on knowledge that we have not transmitted or we have passed only some of them. It appears, however unfair that students are penalized by the current social movement, there they are involved or that they have suffered.

The Board, through its public statements, has guaranteed the value of qualifications that we will deliver this year. It is our responsibility now, as teachers engaged in a movement of struggle, to give our students a number of guarantees of fairness for the end of semester assessment to take place in serenity and confidence mutual. We solemnly pledge to each other:

1. To participate actively in the juries which we are members
2. To verify that assessments reflect the content sent to all students and take into account the particular circumstances of this semester
3. To ask for an explanation of each note below the average
4. To receive individually, before the jury deliberates, any student who would not be sufficient to note that his half is validated and who request it
5. In cases where a student was injured, to use the notes of our own teachings as adjustment variables to compensate for that injury
6. To avoid as much as possible to return a student at the second session, set this year in September
7. To refuse to sign the minutes of the jury if one student was injured because of the strike
8. To participate in the Commission's monitoring and mediation so that a guarantee of justice is achieved in all components.

This end of semester evaluation is a step for us in the fight as we continue to wage against the reforms.

Declaration signed by 72 teachers as of May 22, 2009.
