Human resources management requires a strong sense of going the extra mile. In a school setting, the headteacher finds themselves caught in a triangle of challenges, each as difficult to resolve as the next. Facing them are pupils who are drawn to the forbidden and take pleasure in breaking the rules; on the one hand, the absence and inaction of parents drive the point home, whilst on the other, the childish moods of the deputy headteachers leave them at a loss. Succeeding under these conditions demands a great deal of composure and faith on a very grand scale. Yet the merit of these soldiers, these sentinels of virtue, is never rewarded, never celebrated. This is precisely the relevance of Mariama Bâ's words, for whom 'teachers - those in nursery schools as much as those in universities - form a noble army whose daily exploits are never celebrated, never honoured. An army always on the march, always vigilant. An army without drums, without gleaming uniforms. This army, thwarting traps and pitfalls, plants the flag of knowledge and virtue everywhere.' The contempt to which they are subjected-which predisposes them to laxity and abandonment-is transformed into a source of motivation.
