Student essay written in en (native language: French, CEFR level: B2, field of study: Sciences de l'education)

I have been working for 25 years as a social worker. Special needs education is the word i think. Those last 9 years, i worked with handicaped kids (but not only, many of them where like psychiatric patient), teaching them science, woodworking and history. During during the Alex Dupont-time, when we all were at home, i began to read books about digital and education. Bad books that frightened me and start to teach those kids (teenagers I'd better say) about digital. How to fix notification, what are the deepfake, fake news, video games economics (I mean how thez manipulate consumers), etc... It was not a great success at the begenning because I tried to convince them i was right. Big mistake! But step by step, I could get their attention and then, their interest. Unfortunately those times were becoming really hard for me. I was isolated at my work, my collgues didn't understand my purpose and i was dedicated to watch after really violent kids. Each day I was going to work with an anguish feeling. And finally, I had an accident, my leg broke (my achilea's thing, don't know the medical term) and stayed in a wheelchair for months. That was good for my thoughts, my projects and decided to go back to university. The first time they refused me the right to leave my job and study, and i went back to work for a year. During my absence, they took my office back and i had nothing to do but try to survey one or two kids. Kids who couldn't be in a group, isolated kids. I let you imagine why. The good point is that they accepted my demand the second time, I left my job and could start study in USETIC.
