Классическая гимназия, кадеты и вызовы современной школы. Разговор с Михаилом Поваляевым

A few quotes from the conversation: — While you're not a saint, be educated. — The Filippovskaya School is fighting for the proud name of a classical gymnasium. It's still fighting. — The idea of ​​reading a thick book that's not on the curriculum is perceived as inexplicably cruel. — The declining level of... let's call it diligence is disturbing. — You're fighting for education, and yet the school is cursing! Period. Complete! Period! — I'm not demanding enough of myself. I'm not educated enough. Education should be handled by educated people. On teacher recruitment: — As a rule, even job postings contain gross speech errors. On AI in school: — Artificial intelligence is trying to superimpose the thought process. — Currently, the exception is someone who would never, under any circumstances, cheat. — The very idea that... that we have to distrust schoolchildren is sad. "Their muscles are atrophying... we'll probably need special thinking rooms where it can be trained as a specialized skill: 'think about this, think about that.'" On the anti-bullying law: "I think such a law is useful because enforcement depends on culture. The culture of allowing little children to do whatever they want is ingrained. It needs to be broken." "Formally, we can only expel a child over 15. And my opinion is that this is, of course, nonsense." "I dread to think... what will happen if some student in my class does something so bad that it can't be stopped without a slap?" "What caveat should I make? After all, it's not like all parents are the devil's spawn and all principals are angels." "Is it advisable to give greater disciplinary power to teachers and principals? Yes, it is. To a competent teacher and principal." Is it desirable to have more involved, competent parents in school life? Yes, it is! On exams, the Unified State Exam, and the Basic State Exam: — Attention deficit declines in high school. Previously, we said that in 11th grade, in the second semester, students were already preparing for the Unified State Exam, and that this should be treated with understanding. Now, understanding is required from the beginning of 10th grade. Furthermore, attention to the Basic State Exam has increased. — It would probably be better, as in the old gymnasium, to have transfer exams in all subjects. For now, we're pursuing a compromise; we're simply increasing the number of these exams. On salaries and education funding: — I think we should pay well for highly intellectual work. If a professor earns 70,000 rubles—like a cleaning lady at a hotel—then either they're a pseudo-professor, or we're underpaying them. "People will study at university and know that if they achieve any greatness, they will receive a competitive, world-class salary, here in Russia. That's a serious argument." "After all, our high-ranking officials earn world-class salaries." "The leadership claims there's no money, so keep going, continuing to not pay anyone engaged in intellectual work in Russia and continuing to expel everyone we graduate from school abroad." "Any talk of sovereignty should probably begin with a fivefold to tenfold increase in the salaries of the intellectual class in Russia. Otherwise, it will remain empty talk!" "We lack wise people, in the sense of the well-known joke: what's the difference between a wise person and an intelligent one? A smart person brilliantly overcomes situations that a wise person wouldn't find himself in." On cadet camp: "When the war began, I spent some time thinking about how I could be of service to the Fatherland." Maybe some basic military training should be given to children inclined toward military service, toward a military career. — Admiral's hour... We sleep like admirals. — The rest of the time, there are no phones. Someone says, "We'd better go and do some more boxing." — If we find listeners who can help finance the shifts, that would be great, because the shifts will be free again. But right now, it's not possible because the sponsor couldn't do it. This happens to sponsors. We, of course, don't take this personally. We just express gratitude. ____ Subscribe to the Rodnaya Shkola Telegram channel.
