The little boy is trying to tie his shoe during recess at École Lamartine.
Today is another national general strike day in France. Two of my five classes were canceled, because when the teacher goes on strike the children don't show up either, so since the teacher of my students goes on strike I have no one to teach. After finishing up my day at École Lamartine, I stayed in town and waited for the manifestation (demonstration, protest) to come through.
