Peter Gumbel certainly doesn’t shy away from controversy. The British-born journalist and lecturer, who has lived in France since 2002, has just published a book which has sent ripples through his adopted country. Called They Shoot Schoolchildren, Don't They?, the book is a hard-hitting analysis of the French education system - an institution which, Gumbel argues, breeds anxiety and under-confidence amongst its pupils.
