学生破坏设备、纵火焚烧教室的现象早于当前危机。这是源于贫困、社交媒体同伴压力——还是单纯的无聊？
The phenomenon of pupils wrecking equipment and setting fire to classrooms predates the current crisis. Is it rooted in poverty, social media peer pressure – or just plain boredom?
像大多数法国小学在周三一样，位于里昂东郊的马塞尔·帕尼奥尔小学在2024年6月19日关闭。但那天晚上下午6点30分，两个男孩迟到了——迟到了两年。他们曾是该校学生，现年13岁，费力用园艺叉和扫帚试图打破前门窗户的酥脆格栅。使用破窗器，他们终于撕开一个足够大的口子，挤进去而不受伤。
Like most French primaries on Wednesdays, Marcel Pagnol school, in the eastern suburbs of Lyon, was shut on 19 June 2024. But at 6.30pm that evening, two boys turned up late for school – by two years. Former pupils there, the 13-year-olds struggled to break through the crispy lattice of the front-door window with a garden fork and a broom. Using a window-breaker, they finally created an opening large enough to force their way in without hurting themselves.
随后发生的一切被两人发在Snapchat上的视频记录下来。一进屋，他们在教室、走廊和食堂游荡，乱扔滑板车、砸毁电脑设备、引燃灭火器、推翻家具。他们从冰箱里拿走袋装Capri‑Sun：“我才不在乎——我全拿走了。”没拍摄的男孩在穿过大楼时点起小火，用打火机燃料喷射每一处。“我喜欢这里发生的一切！”同伙说。“我喜欢火。”
What happened next is captured in a video the pair subsequently posted on Snapchat. Once inside they prowl the classrooms, corridors and canteen, slinging around scooters and smashing up computer equipment, setting off fire extinguishers and upending furniture. They help themselves to pouches of Capri‑Sun from the fridge: “I don’t give a fuck – I’m taking the lot.”The boy not filming sets small fires as they move through the building, squirting each one with a little jet of lighter fuel. “I love what’s happening here!” says his accomplice. “I love fire.”
