Adult teachers

"While the child goes from a harmful school to a useful coach - how many tears will shed and burn nerves?"

In the fresh issue of the electronic newspaper "Vesti Education", experts talk about the possibilities for adults, which the school did not give the most important - the ability to manage itself, to gain these quality today. As for modern schoolchildren, the scientific director of the Institute of Problems believes
The educational policy of Eureka Alexander Adam, then, if the idea of unified textbooks is embodied, they will have to catch up on their own.

The project of “the formation of a harmoniously developed personality”, it seems, did not take place.

The great ancient utopia for a long time served as a guide and even the official goal of school education. But it never became a reality. However, it hardly surprises someone.

Every parent and even every student knows: if you want to be an athlete - go to the section or sports school, if you want to be a musician or an artist - look for special schools, you want to know the language perfectly - hire a tutor.

And even the school itself, it seems, refused this utopia - in high school there is no longer a common flow, everyone diverges on profiles.

And somehow everyone is already used to, that there is no in common for everyone, the same excellent education. Experience, life proved that the children are all different, and try to squeeze everyone into one template, all the more so that the ability to compose verses, and dexterity, and geometric talent, and the ability to play lute is harmoniously combined. For more than three thousand years, it has not been done.

No, of course, there are particularly gifted deputies who believe that if all children are taught by the same textbooks, then everyone will equally develop historical thinking, patriotism and exactly the same set of knowledge. What is the basis of this point of view based on is unknown. Probably, in the residents of the State Duma there are secret letters (most likely, the USSR pedagogical sciences remaining from the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences), in which something is written about this.

But now we are talking about something else. The vector, which is set by politicians to a modern school, ultimately determines the set of means by which a person is socialized, achieves success, family happiness, material well -being, harmony with himself and benefits people.

In this sense, the modern concept of education, in my opinion, is quite clear: let the child open as much as possible, find activities in which he is fully self-realized, in which he is as successful as possible-and he (or she) will be successful in adulthood, and will certainly master the so-called General education. And you will drag everyone by the same and the same, for all the same lessons, textbooks, according to the same plans and schedules, to make you memorize the same poems (here the keyword is “force”), get half of the “fallen”, in fact, even if they have three three.

These are visible triples and visible deuce.

And there are deuces invisible.

To formulate a task for himself.

Search for solutions to yourself.

To evaluate yourself - did you decide or not?

Manage your time.

Manage relations with other people.

Be independent, independent.

Someone will say that this is not the tasks of education, more precisely-not the tasks of schooling, rather-education. Education is certainly very important.

But everything that I listed (and a lot of other from this series) is the result of education, is convinced.

Moreover, many experts believe that it is precisely the personal qualities of a secondary school graduate that are precisely the main results of education. Not because academic knowledge is not important, but because their deficiency can be compensated, but the lack of the ability to set a goal and achieve it - in adulthood it is very difficult to increase again.

In the absence of exactly such school results hidden in the first glance, entire market segments grow.

For example, coaching, which has become popular in recent years. This is already a whole economic industry that works, from my point of view, on the fact that the formal education system has chosen the wrong course, does not give the child the necessary methods and ability to control oneself, and then in adulthood the circumstances are formed so that these deficits are not only felt - they impede normal life.

There is a demand - an offer appears.

I won’t be surprised if after some time the most gifted deputies consider all sorts of coach, psychoanalysts, coaches (in the sense of: people leading trainings), the next “perversion in the system of the People's Commissariates” is akin to pedoologists of the middle of the thirties. And they will ban, naturally.

Well, really, how are it like: the textbooks are the same, the same books, books in literature lessons read the same, 100 identical films show everyone, the TRP standards, the form, the schedule in each school is the same, and the schools themselves - as under the carbon copy. Why does a person who graduated from such a school, coach or psychoanalyst?

Slam like a fly!

While this has not happened, we are in a hurry to tell our readers about this industry of education.

I believe that this is this: coaches are teachers for adults. For those adults (and their vast majority) to whom the school did not give the most important - the ability to control itself.

Moreover, this is such a result of school education, which cannot be measured in any case with an exam, especially one and state.

I generally think that the most important results of school education cannot be measured by exams. They can only be evaluated by teachers, only for one thing: to report, preferably secretly, to the student his opinion. If necessary, in writing, but mainly facing face.

This cannot be controlled, you cannot plan, administer.

This is another educational reality - it is closed to the teacher and the student.

And it seems that this reality becomes the main one, only people come to it not according to the federal standard or the instructions of the ministry. It is generally outside the formal system of education, it is a private sphere, although it is regulated by the general norms of economic and other relations. Relations are regulated, but the content - no, depends on a particular person and a specific teacher. And the result is the most objective - a person’s satisfaction with the resulting education.

Who checks? Who is inspecting? Who determines the number of hours for the bet?

Where is the trade union, where is the department? Where is the supervision? The final certification of customers?

How? There is none of this!

How does all this exist?

So, as the education should exist - freely, on self -control and self -organization.

... Put, put more hidden doubles - fertilize the informal education market. Only while the child travels from a harmful school to a useful coach - how many tears will shed and burn nerves?

And how many will not find their way?

This number is not about coaching. He is about what the school does not give the child.
