Today, I took part in an age-old French tradition, and went on strike. Instead of the five hours which I was meant to teach, I did one. For the rest of the day, I read the paper, had lunch and drank coffee, and other assorted strike-y things.
I'm not sure why I was striking, either. The local paper tells me it was against the gradual erosion of public services and the change in Lycée (sixth form) regulations. But, I think it was simply due to the fact that they haven't had one for a few months, and felt today was a reasonable day to do it.
