It was a shocking scene and the video quickly went viral on the social networks. It showed a 15-year-old pupil taking aim at his teacher with a BB pistol at the Édouard-Branly secondary school at Créteil in the south-eastern suburbs of Paris on October 18th. The weapon turned out to be a fake but the teacher did not know that at the time. And since the video was first broadcast on October 20th it has provoked strong reaction in both the political and educational worlds.
