TitleUpcoming French Bac Preparation
Body
The French bac will begin in two days, so there are a lot of news items on the TV news shows about the exam, the students, and preparation for the tests. Today, 7 juin, there were reports at 13 heures and 20 heures.

They included preparation of the exam sites, cleaning the tables and even the toilets to be sure there is nothing there that might be used to cheat. Bringing in bottles of water (it seems some students have been printing fake water bottle labels with tiny crib sheets in place of the composition of the bottle). Yesterday, 6 juin, 13 heures and also 20 heures, there were reports about cheating. A student caught cheating can be excluded from all exams (interdit d'examen) for 1, 2, or 3 years. One person was even blacklisted from entry into any university for life. They also talked about the languages tested. I think there are about 56 different languages tested for the bac.
