Simulakra time
June 2, 2011 Alexey Kuznetsov
The texts of today's issues of many media outlets (including a number of completely respected publications ) contain information that the All -Russian Congress of Teachers took place in Moscow. At the congress, a real (in order not to say real) leader spoke and promised salaries and apartments, ordered not to close rural schools and improve the exam. The proposals of the “pedagogical community” on the modernization of education were also requested.
I will not bore our very independent in assessments of the reader with reasoning about the degree of sincerity of concern in the election year and annoying him with a comparison of promises (not the first, I must say, in this industry over the past 10 years) with a actually made (for the same period). It will be completely different. The fact is that the benefactor communicated of course with no one with the congress of teachers, but with the most ordinary simulacrum.
To justify this simple (and hardly unexpected) thesis, you can go in different ways. You can read the texts and find there the phrase "All -Russian Pedagogical Assembly." Then go to the official website of this godless organization and find there a “one Russia”, dancing from all the cracks. As they say, in the faces, right, led by the chairman of the assembly, a member of the General Council of “EP” Valentina Ivanova (the photo is attached directly on the starting page, and I would look at him in the place of the reader - the photo - more closely).
You can dig a little deeper, and there, on the starting page, click on the "Leaders" section. I was upset by the presence of Shalva Aleksandrovich Amonashvili there, but, firstly, this is not the only disappointment of recent years, secondly, he has long moved away from practical pedagogy, and thirdly, even with Amonashvili, 80% of the remaining leaders have about the same attitude to medicine (in the sense that I also accept that I also accept that I also accept I am a tablet or two by my own purpose). I strongly advise you not to be too lazy and there to call the list of members of the Council on the screen with all their positions and ranks. Get a kind of pleasure.
But you can not do all this, but simply call for help your parent (or even school, who remembers) experience and common sense and simulate the situation. So, May 31. On the eve of schools, the exam in the Russian language was held (someone was preparing for it, someone took it to it, someone was sitting observers in the audiences, someone is checking it now; among them, unlike the list, there were only teachers). In the midst of exams for ninth graders. Middle schoolchildren undergo practice: the windows are washed, although it is forbidden to be strictly, and where the school is painted, but this is generally T-SC! Textbooks must be handed over to the library (ed.-Cl. Hands-l). A ton of papers to unsubscribe, recess (brutal-that's all). To go on an excursion with the children (promised in the winter, if they behave well). Imagine who at this time has a fateful time to pose with the prime minister? That's right, those for whom the prime minister has a profession. But this profession was not called and not called, but not pedagogy, isn't it?
We quickly rolled down to the worst version of the phantom existence of the late 70s, when on the TV there is a struggle for peace and centners from the hectare, and in Afghanistan, do not understand what our soldiers die for and in stores, the Shar was rising. Pedagogical meeting without teachers. Mirage elections. Imitation of the fight against corruption. Renaming instead of correction. Skolkovo instead of science. World Championships instead of caring for the health of the nation. Gryzlov at the head of the parliament, Churov at the head of the election commission, well, and ... you yourself know who is at the head of the country.
Simulakra time. And there is no ecclesiaste to consult: is this time to scatter or only time to collect?
