What are the festering problems in the French education system that have led to such large spread frustration and pushed students to the brink? What do the student strikes – and their spread to parents, unions, and other groups – say not only about the endemic challenges in schools, but about the government budgetary crisis, political stasis, and fraying of the French welfare state?
