"What?" will be written, scandalized, the under 15s. But the big brands or office supply stores began to install back-to-school items in June.
In Saint Martin, sellers note, families are often large and budgets are therefore limited, especially since the more children grow and the longer the lists become. Public school teachers therefore try to ask for as little material as possible and the offer remains fairly standard. The fantasy slips into the choice of agenda or bag. The month of September makes the whole country sparkle and the start of the school year, which starts the year all over again, is a very French particularity. Saint-Martin is no exception to the rule but it is not without specificity. As for supermarkets, this is the challenge of restocking. If stock outs are the bane in France, the times are much worse here. The challenges of education also arise with particular acuity: the back-to-school races are always great moments. But here, the children also accompany their
parents, because they are sometimes illiterate or do not speak French. Often foreigners, they remain very discreet but show themselves all the more proud of their children who know the French school system and find their way with dexterity in the maze of large squares, 192 pages, spiral bindings and other 24 × 32 notebook protectors. ._HM
