Depends on what you call 'kids'. To me it seems way different than 2005. I was working (illegally, I was 15 and unpaid) with my father in a 'quartier ZEP' to help kids do their homework (we also played sport, board games and taught 'La vie en communauté' in general). For some reasons, I'm at the same place 18 years later, and it's not the same public. I'm living right in front of were the 'chaos' was last night. It feels way younger (I might just be way older, but truth to be told, I don't think it's that), more diverse (not just concerning the skin color and the religion, more socially diverse especially), more frantic, more violent at times but less focused. That might end in like two days. It doesn't feel like the usual social crisis. I'm not sure it's social at all. It might be mostly generational. I think they are scared. Also, we're back to the 70s it seems. Michel Rocard's inheritance is definitely gone. I'm afraid we're becoming the US in Europe, it surely seems we're racing the British toward that goalpost.
