Telling porkies about your kid's schooling

New French minister of Education, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, is having a hard time since she told reporters on Friday that she had moved her son to an elite private school because of "loads of teaching hours without a serious replacement" teacher at his public school. The public school says this wasn't the case at all. The family in fact chose to move the child to the private school because the public one would not bump him up a year.
