A good portion of people work on computers on a daily basis. However, this reality comes with physical issues. Already because it is not recommended to sit for hours in the same place. What's more, if working in front of a screen doesn't seem "dangerous", poor ergonomics can cause tension whether it's visual, muscular or to the spine, among others.

The meritocratic fable of the French school
France, like the United States and other Western countries, has for decades based its educational model on meritocracy. The idea is that every student can succeed in a course of study and find himself in the «grandes écoles», regardless of his social environment. A system that has allowed for a democratization of education, the limits of which are however perceptible today. At the end of the day, very few children from less well-off backgrounds make it to the elite...
