Sure but what good is an education method if the teachers don't understand it. I don't doubt that if you had a great teacher that would work, but considering how focused French education is on mathematics, this was one of the main reason why the social ladder broke.

If you could prove me that there were more brilliant mathematicians educated in France during the 60's/70's compared to other periods, I'd be interested. Even if this is the case (which I'm not sure), at least it's pretty clear it lowered the median (whether this is good or not is another debate ;)
