combien de lycée Jules Ferry en France ? Heureusement maintenant on cherche des personnages plus modernes, dernièrement c'est les élèves qui ont choisis le nom de leur lycée et belle surprise avec le choix de "Lycée Rosa Parks" (a cote d'Evry)
ReplyDeleteA tribute like a high school is so deserving for creating great laws for education.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice building! And kudos to Jules Ferry...there are few things as important for a country than to have educated and informed citizens.
ReplyDeleteOur problem in the U.S. today is that ignorance is rampant. Reality fails to impinge about desired beliefs.
What an honour it must be to reach every morning at this place.
ReplyDeleteMay time and life lead students towards a bright future. Please have a good Wednesday.

Well deserved dedication Ciel! Thank goodness for minds like his.
ReplyDelete"Free and mandatory eduction" was a door, too, and what a wonderful doorway it was.

The name Ferry doesn't seem French. I like the massive sculpture to the left of the door.
ReplyDeleteA fitting tribute to a progressive thinker. I wonder what he would think of today's educational system?
ReplyDeleteAnd so good for him. Inexplicably, public education seems to be less important than cutting taxes in this county. My son is giving serious thought to leaving his job as a software engineer to become a math teacher in the Chicago public schools. Noble but a bit scary for the parents.
ReplyDeleteI know the British term peckish but John Cleese says it is a way that Americans find irresistibly funny.
Is that a sculpture on the left side?
ReplyDeletePretty.
ReplyDeleteGood for him. We forget that free and mandatory education was so late in coming.
Meaningful comments here.
ReplyDeleteComme quoi l'education remue toujours nos esprits et c'est ce qui compte.
I hope your schools are better than ours in producing cultured and educated citizens.
ReplyDeleteLooks a great and important school, your picture is beautiful and I like a lot that door ( and the reflections as well).

tu vas attendre un moment pour qu'elle s'ouvre
ReplyDeleteThe schools in France just look nicer!
ReplyDeletePôvre Jules! il doit se retourner dans sa tombe a voir l'education d'aujourd'hui...tu as chopé un beau reflet dans la porte!
ReplyDeleteWonderful accomplishment. Education is so important, to actually have a choice. Great photo and history, Ciel!
ReplyDelete"Week's doorway", such an interest subject. Your picture of tha lycée is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day

@ Randy: not really, just a detail of the pillar/wall.

ReplyDeleteThe door reminds my of my own high school.
