I went to school in British and French schools and never saw European flags. You’re talking absolute nonsense.

  I believe that, these countries are strong-willed because they had enough time to develop on their own before the EU. I am from eastern EU and well, you can't go outside without seeing an EU flag, much less to a school (see other replies under my comment confirming this to be the case). Today's children think this country was a shithole prison before it joined the EU, while in reality it was a pretty strong economy quickly recovering from the trauma of communism with opportunities booming everywhere, good educational system and well functioning healthcare and social system. Not even 2 decades and the history is rewritten - that's not good.

    If you bothered to read the article you linked, you would know it says this is a French policy decision, not mandated by the EU Commission. Also that it was a compromise with a right wing party wanting the French flag prominently displayed in classrooms.
