Foreign parents relocating to France frequently encounter culture shock from differences in public schooling. Reactions vary by background, with some finding French schools more demanding and others finding them less focused on individual accommodations. Many parents praise attentive teachers, a strong work ethic, solidarity among pupils, and high-quality, well-balanced school lunches.
