A 6th grade student in Haute-Garonne, France, who lives 5 minutes from his school, was reassigned to another facility almost an hour from home, so he spent 1 hour and 40 minutes on the bus every day had to.
11-year-old Martin, who lives with his mother Laure in Muret, naturally expected to go to college near his home after primary school.
But the services of the Ministry of National Education assign him to a facility in Frouzins, which he has to reach by bus.
“At first I was very angry because it is a way of putting additional obstacles in the way of the organization of single parents,” Laure burped into the France 3 microphone.
Martin’s order results from an accepted election based on the criteria of the school plan, while the two exception requests made by the mother were rejected.
The Toulouse Academy hides behind the school map drawn up by the departmental council to justify its decision, stating that “every sector is covered by school transport”.
