Marie-Betty Desrouillères

Marie-Betty Desrouillères is a French teacher at the Amos Secondary School in the Montreal-Nord borough of Quebec. She has expressed her concerns regarding the recent directive from the Quebec government that mandates the use of formal address ('vous') between students and adults in schools. Desrouillères believes that the informal 'tu' fosters a more accessible and respectful relationship between teachers and students, arguing that politeness can exist regardless of the form of address used.
