Police fired tear gas on Tuesday at protesters blockading French high schools, as students, teachers and parents joined the largest day of demonstrations so far against understaffed, run-down classrooms. In Paris, the protest remained peaceful but felt “tense” amid a heavy police presence, France 24 reported.
