« I think we have to tell the children what's going to happen, without scaring them, but by showing them that we're with them: "I'll think of you." Kids need it. Or, "Here, I brought you a picture, or a subway ticket. When you get bored at school, you'll have it in your pocket. Dad gave you this subway ticket. You'll have more confidence already." Things like that. They need the presence of the parents. This environment is unusual. If they don't like their teacher, the question for the children is: Does she explain correctly?" Very often they say, "I don't like the mistress, but yes she explains very well." "Well, that's the main thing. A mistress is here to explain. For the rest, it's the mom who's there." »
