A group of teachers from René-Guy college in the town of Montoir-de-Bretagne, near Saint-Nazaire, accompanied by colleagues ;egues of Nantes and of Rezé have posted on YouTube, on March 2, a video where the group covers the song Les Gens qui doubts by the French singerçaise Anne Sylvestre. FameThe chaos of knowledge, the title takes up Gabriel Attal's expression of the "clash of knowledge". The lyrics of the song represent the arguments of teachers who oppose these level groups, for example: "The groups are à 30, we don't even have room to put a stool; there would still be a class where ù there are only 15 of them, it's the group of bad ones. After several repetitions of the chorus “that one” ; we put it where ù ?, this one has we put it whereù ?"; the song concludes with a sentence reflecting the opposition of the teachers to the measure: "We don'we don'level for the level groups". 

The song performed by the group De Nivo has exceeded ; the 25,000 views on the platform on Wednesday March 13. The teachers did not expect so much, as they explained to Ouest-France: & ;quot;We told ourselves that 1,000 views for our little song would already be a success. not bad…" One of the members of the group, Elena Bascou, French teacher, confided to the media: "We wanted to get the message across to families". “Classifying according to a level is simplistic, the students are richer than that,” she added.
