the company is engaged in a
true race against time it’s
become for many of us a
existential question and in particular
in education because the child learns
with and not against the time anymore
overall this race against time
ask us all and something
a bit absurd because until proof of
contrary time always wins
can you quote me a man who grants
price as much as they recognize the
value of a day they understand
that they die every day because our
mistake is to see death before us
we feel at home she is already
passed the part of our life that is
behind us belongs to death
also lucilius do what you tell me
in the letter seized roof of each
hour so you will be less dependent
the next day since you will have seized
of the present day we put life back to more
late and during that time she goes away
in his first letter to lucilius
titled the timetable
Seneca demonstrates how much the issue
of death brings us back to that of meaning
of our existence and to the notion of
time and that’s a little bit of what’s
come
long lived to the guys and the re
[Music]
former trader I worked for
several years a crazy rhythm in
this mixture of speed stress and
of drunkenness became modern finance
[Music]
dedicated 24 hours a day to my job
I ran every day against time
and all of a sudden the tone stopped
one August morning the family doctor
tell me that my mother was suffering
of an incurable disease two years not
more everything was falling apart I never
can accompany him if I continue
in finance so I left I
became a teacher
I discovered another rhythm that of
childhood that should not be rushed and
yet I still feel like
to run after the time I watch
the runaway of the world and I’m caught
of vertigo
dates that increase resources
who are running out those who run for
keep up the pace and those who let go
taken at the time the time it is there
without being there always present but
impalpable a bit like god actually to
both the origins and the end of all things
but no, sir, we do not have anymore
all the time to think about it
precipitated in the urgency
technological and media
financial it’s no longer a question
to take a step back
even less of the height the impression
to feel nothing at the bottom of him
but we still have a little
the impression that it’s really going
so in the impression of being a little
at wagram in exile
we are going more to the side of things in a
world that is constantly changing and of a
very fast way by definition
it’s going so fast that we are
simply in the reactivity serves
as a driver up that avoids them
obstacles or who follows
the winding course but that do not serve
to know where the road will stop if
mechanics is not hindering that he has
no time when I became
teacher I realized how much for
the child the time and key as it is
the instrument of his apprenticeship
language is learned with time
by the repetition in time that one
learn his multiplication tables or
that we improve until the
virtuosity little by little the child
learn over my practice I
realized that this learning time
vary a lot from one child to another
from the meritocratic school at the
French is from a big school
my first instinct was to want
bring everyone to the top level
I wanted to transmit everything quickly to them
I quickly realized that it was
impossible or even counterproductive which
very well explains this student jérémy
your woodworker too anyway
not sure how to tell him to go
faster faster and when you go with
we do like music like youtube
but after the final how to say in
wins nothing because not much
because brought by force to go
quick
how to say by dint of going fast
began with our means and we made the
bad things
and yes we do things wrong for
the teacher is the same thing
how a teacher pressed and
can stress create the climate of
calm and kindness necessary
to the transmission of knowledge in the
class it’s a contradiction to
which I face regularly
under pressure from programs and
procedures to be implemented
teacher union and headline
recently in his magazine 108 hours
it’s overflowing
if now even the teachers are
overwhelmed where are we going for what is
children they both became
terribly impatient subject to
the eagerness of the parents rattled away
between the wait wait the call wait
and then in one go hurry up
addicted to technology and screens
and subject to the immediacy of the internet
they do not know how to wait and in addition
in addition to trouble concentrating
he would like to know everything right away and
are easily discouraged
give time for research and
the reflection
when google responds right away to
all your questions
we are in a crisis of the
patience are not in a
acceleration of time we are in
a crisis of patience if there is us
want things to go fast
we want to understand the interest the
relativity in two minutes and that’s it
challenges
they have scientists in the sense that
they wonder how in this world
we will be able to transmit
knowledge not of information
how can you transmit the
knowledge in a world that is
saturated with information
so how to deal with this
lack of time so harmful to
teaching
how to fight against this process
cohesion intelligence destroyer
and creativity
I will deliver here the fruit of my
subjective experience and the tracks of
reflection on which I have engaged
but ten years of teaching
first track break free from the idea
of perfection you know the set this
old grandmother’s saying that was saying
the best is the enemy of good
the better is the enemy of the good good he
must try to do well but not
too much because if we take that out too well
do we actually miss his thing
we’ll see him and we’ll have and that’s
by the way quite true eva tom
peters in 1987 in chaos management
declare no no no it’s not that it’s
the good is the enemy of the best so that’s
not at all doing well enough
and let’s be reasonable let’s stay there
it’s never enough
always do better always better
always better these sayings of our
grandmothers and full of indulgence
this indulgence that allows
to accompany the student in his
development by congratulating him that
it’s already good rather than him
ask even better subject to hyper
actually aware of the hyper
competitiveness of our society
parents and teachers tend to
ask the child always better
thus maintaining his frustration but
also theirs how to respond to
criteria that are continually more
high and after they are a little bit
unhappy children even if they are
the clash or while the strong words
and can be rejected from there they
may be a little rejected
I believe that for her it is necessary that
the teacher manage to break free
himself from this idea of perfection
for him and his students
we can not complete the 100%
program today at less than
leave a lot of students on the
tile little by little we come to
adapt its requirements so that all
students thanks to the time we understand
that we can allow all
students to progress by reassessing
its requirements for will
to encourage the child to do it
progress especially to feed his
faith in him
second track meditate to find
attention and cohesion this practice
that I introduced the year of the film has
revolutionized my teaching profession
the few minutes of breathing
ventral that we all give
together each morning feed the
kindness calmness and tension
in the class they allow the
children to relearn the value of the
time reconnecting them to their bodies and
to their breathing this great metronome
of our lives they also allow it
also helps to nurture cohesion
let’s put the whole class in tune
from the morning
third track teach what we like
to educate it is not to fill him a
vase lit a fire was saying
montaigne and how to light a fire if
we do not have fire being the best
advice he gave me was given
when I started my career
of teacher was by a friend
teacher he told me on stage what
you love to teach because we love these
themes is taught and this love is
incredibly contagious awaken the
curiosity of children to philosophy
mythology
history science is feeding their
thirst for knowledge present and
especially future fourth track was pulling
brings us back to the question of time to
take to take the time every
teachers know it to alternate the
rhythms sometimes leave time to
time and the best guarantor to ensure
the well-being and success of
students
students need time for
decompress
they need time to do some
breaks to imagine invent play itself
wash your head to leave better
happily there go so many
recreation but there are also all
time spent in the classroom for
activities say auto such snag
activities that six scenes but ali
describes very well its activities which
enrich us for no other purpose than she
even the music the singing the drawing the
play play
garden cooking kids love
all these activities and she creates for
ed fifth-round salvage break
very important
to make time an ally is this possible
I think that the thing that prefers my
students in the week it’s time
from the philosophical quotes gide by
example should not be so difficult
than that to die since everyone
get there
einstein the world will not be destroyed
by those who do evil but by those
who watch them without doing anything
there are a multitude of quotes
philosophical ones that feed the
student reflection and experience
shows that they are eager for these moments
back away take the time to philosophize
in class is feeding a form of
secular spirituality that makes a
saving counterpoint to our society
hyper materialistic stuffed with
communication and to this urgency that
gradually empty our lives of their
meaning taking the time to philosophize
children relearn the value of
time that is necessary to
the childbirth of thought the time of
the changes of reflection and then
the action I think the ideal but
it’s an ideal that not necessarily
generalizable is to give oneself
decide what direction of his life and what
to focus on the actions
that the meaning given to it imposes
and once we have found the meaning it
seems to me that everything makes sense and suddenly
time becomes no longer an enemy but
an ally
it will help build things
sixth and last track for me the
most important take the time to love
should conclude there on this
question that touches me as
that teacher but also as
parents we are running out of time for everything
so we also lack time for
to love is something fundamental
for the child he needs this love
to wake up and he needs this
accompanied accompaniment
the child encourage him to congratulate him
also be demanding and
indulgence all that takes time
facing classes of 30 students the
teachers do what they can
that’s why I think it takes
really that parents take
aware of their responsibility to
take the time to love their children
here I would like to conclude on a
sentence of a child you call gabin and
who impressed me a lot and who illustrates
in my opinion all we have to
to learn from children time does not exist
not it’s the man who cut out the
time
who invented something to go
faster
but it’s actually we who
let ‘s go from yesteryear
these notes it’s our hard was a
little time that
so time does not really exist
[Music]
thank you very much for your
attention and the time we have
spent together
thank you
[Applause]
