What legitimacy to exist for ENS? (3) What

The wage issue normaliens.

The rationale for the salary paid to the ENS has therefore just what they are supposed to be the best: the Republic finance the studies of his best students, and part-cons, they agree to work ten years for her. Normal.

The egalitarian (and I call those who, rightly, would like all French students are treated the same criteria) would agree that if any one was absolutely sure that ENS are the best French students.

We have seen that this is not necessarily the case. First, although we are generally among the best, we are not absolutely the best and not have built does not, fortunately we can not take part. Then there are always people who either never hear about ENS and prepared or do not support it and leave even before the real fun begin: I came second to the first level control Latin, Hypokhâgne: the first was not even there to retrieve his copy: it was gone after one week.

This raises the question of informing pupils and students on the existence of PERs and the ENS and, therefore, the ambition we have for them: do not be silent because that it is estimated they will not succeed, but talk to them and let them make their own choices, while being clear on their level, if not, either, seeing them engage in a siding.

Finally, is it a problem not to ENS?

can also wonder if it really is a problem not to be passed by ENS. If you want to do research, it is undoubtedly harder: One can say many things at the school, but we can not deny the huge "boost" that represent a catalyst, its status Great School and its reputation, the scholarships it distributes and the facilities it offers to entertain people and make themselves known to them (it is easier to dare contact a U.S. researcher intervene when we see regularly in his department). Of course this does not mean there is no good research out of the ENS, fortunately.

There is no denying, either, that his preparations various aggregations are either the best or among the best.

But in other cases, it is not fenced sure we need to attempt to integrate, even to a class Preparatory.

This means that the system does not fund the ENS a part of university courses (in addition to not fund a portion of their students) and must therefore also that the best students from other disciplines can also be delivered by the state. It is quite correct that there are scholarships based on income, it seems it is also necessary that there be at hand, merit scholarships, based on the results (with still some consideration of income: it is not just a student, even excellent, super financed by income parents off, receive a scholarship "pocket money").

moral problem associated

It is indeed quite unbearable to consider that the university would be "reserved" to "bad". I will not dwell on the fact that it is not true of students, it seems to have already developed. So I would add "only" this is not the case for teachers: as students, some of the teachers is composed of former ENS, others to be where they are, have distinguished themselves also, for their excellence: let's be clear, even if everyone has an example in mind, myself included, rarely become ill college professor.

After, this does not mean that 'they will be excellent teachers: the meaning of pedagogy, it was or not, we can learn it in part but love teaching, it is basically a matter of taste. It is not always easy to end up before a room full of students, preparing lessons is time consuming and sometimes rather desperate need to correct some forty comments corrected in two weeks requires a good dose of self-motivation ("I the sacred fire, the fire I, I ...").

That said, I find it quite normal and even necessary, the dual role of teacher-researcher. The university is a place of transmission between research and made to inform students of its past advanced. The university is also a place thought: there are many ideas on his own field of research even prepared lessons that are quite far away (after I pulled the hair on my course in French literature nineteenth and twentieth centuries, I then realized that it put me in contact with a number of concepts that can absolutely be part of my thesis project). Finally, the university is a place of exchange : while the teacher delivers instruction, but students are (usually) not passive either; also have ideas and, above all, see things with fresh eyes.

In short and to return to the subject, the university is far from the hideout of the "bad", whether teachers or students, and should, also, to fund his best students.
