Maria Gaidar: “Hands off mathematics!”

“Sobyanin’s reforms in the social sphere come down to the consolidation of everything and everyone. He united clinics and schools. And if with clinics this caused indignation primarily among the team of doctors, then the merger of schools caused a storm of indignation among parents. Well, it’s understandable when your child has been preparing for admission for a long time to a good gymnasium, so as not to end up in a bad, dysfunctional school in the neighborhood, and suddenly it turns out that a dysfunctional school and a gymnasium are the same thing. But the Moscow government explained: the task is to bring the disadvantaged schools up to the strong ones. .
