Should we broadcast the adolescence series in classrooms in France?

The Minister of Education confirmed these days that “from the 4ᵉ”, teachers will be able to rely on sequences of the Netflix phenomenon series.

After provoking a real electroshock around the world, Adolescence continues to be debated. In the United Kingdom, the series has already been broadcast for free in colleges and high schools since spring.

It is Keir Starmerthe British Prime Minister, who had launched the idea. “”This is an important initiative to encourage as many students as possible to watch the program“He said, after watching the series with his own children.”My son is sixteen, and as a father, it was not easy to look at this program with my children, because he echoes the fears and worries you have as a parent and adult. “

And in France? We also get there.

First reluctant, Élisabeth Borne finally announced that the series Adolescence could also be used as an educational support in French classes. Interviewed on LCI, the Minister of Education confirmed these days that “From the 4ᵉ, teachers will be able to rely on five sequences of the series Adolescence. Staging situations of violence, uses of social networks and discomfort, this series is a useful educational support for raising awareness and supporting students. “

For the moment, we do not know which sequences will be chosen, nor what real impact the series could have on college and high school students already fed at Squid game And Fortnite. But one thing is certain: Adolescence To the virtue of showing, concretely and without filter, the ravages of masculine content on young people. She explains, with a crazy and vibrant emotion, the dangers of overconsumption of social networks.

So, talking to teens through a Netflix series may not be such a wacky idea. Stephen Graham And Jack Thornethe creators of the program, are themselves rather favorable-without seeing any political recovery.
