Before one scandal with stripping graduates at the checkpoint at the Voronezh school No. 62, I barely managed to quit the director of this school, as a new scandal erupted in Chuvashia, There, the children also complained that before the exam in the Russian language they were undressed to the underwear, and the employee of Rosobrnadzor prevented them from being in the toilet for more than thirty seconds.
By the way, the examiners in the Voronezh school still complained that there were no doors in the booths in the toilets there. And at the school of the village of Big Saba in Tatarstan, graduates found that the doors in the toilet booths were cut to half, so that it could be seen that no one was attributing anything there.
In Voronezh and Chuvashia, employees of the exams and local authorities denied complaints of schoolchildren: they said that they acted strictly according to the instructions and no one undressed the children.
The Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov also said that the facts of undressing children in Voronezh were not confirmed: everything, they say, was done in accordance with the regulations.
A physical education teacher from the Voronezh school, which stood with a metal detector, even expressed amazement that the girls suddenly began to lift up clothes and demonstrate underwear - "probably, probably."
Of course, schoolgirls could not say in direct text: “undress” - but simply sent according to the instructions to leave everything metal in front of the metal detector. And then - guess for yourself, who has metal details and what the confused children will do. I myself have the same “bones” on my underwear regularly at the airports, and my mother rang the titanium plate in the leg. In these cases, airport employees usually simply carried out a manual metal detector along the body, they became convinced that it would ring it and that and that it was not dangerous. They could ask to remove a belt or boots with metal parts, put them in a tray and send them to an X -ray apparatus. Once, with me at the international airport, an elderly woman was taken to a separate room, where, from her words, women-employees were politely asked to rent and show an orthopedic corset with metal records. But no one forced to undress publicly and pass the metal detector over and over again, until he stops ringing - I don’t know what.

In airports, where the reasons for such inspections are much more serious, there are long -standing inspection procedures for a long time, which are usually not perceived by passengers as insulting. And well -trained security officers work there, and not hastily instructed teachers, armed with a metal detector and blessed by the desire to “not let go”.
Behind this traditional "not to let go" is the traditional teacher's fear "no matter what happens." We will skip, and then a violation will be found, and then to us - on a hat. That is why scandals arise from year to year - they are trying to take an insulin pump from a diabetic, then they spoil it, then they take away medicines.
Although there is nothing terrible in not to notice the phone on the inspection: if the student manages to carry it, it is quite possible to notice cheating on the exam, this happens, the student is expelled - and teachers are not punished for insufficient vigilance.
Why try to repact Herod? Why nightmare students? The logic is simple: you will allow a tablet from a headache - they will drag psychostimulants. Allow the chocolate - the beiftex will be taken away. Therefore, only terrible severity comes to mind, only according to the prescription of the doctor, only by preliminary record, only under the supervision ...
My son at one time managed to lose his passport in front of the exam, and in the certificate of renewal the passportist made a mistake in the year of issue. And although his son still had a passport with him, he was not allowed on the exam until the organizers got through to the FMS and were convinced that the certificate was not fake. During this time, all participants have already managed to get a briefing and started work; The son missed the briefing and therefore did not know that the technical appeal should be submitted without leaving the checkpoint. He did not have enough time, most of the unfinished work was not credited, they refused to accept the technical appeal, and I fought with the conflict commission for two weeks (and won). In the end, he was allowed to retake, which he had already appeared with a fresh runny nose; Of course, it was not allowed to carry a bubble of drops in the nose in the nose, it was not allowed to have a prescription from morning to the exam for a prescription-so for all four hours he brutally squinted with his nose, interfering with others much more than a single squeak of some kind of insulin pump. By the way, they may not let her into the exam even with a certificate from the endocrinologist, if the school has not yet written at the application stage that the child has limited health opportunities. It’s good that they are not removed from the exam for squelching.

Teachers, by the way, also complain. They are also people, they also have titanium plates in the legs, diabetes mellitus with the need to measure the blood sugar in time and make injections, it is necessary to keep the phone turned on and have smart watches associated with devices monitoring the state of health. And very often the work on the OGE and the exam-voluntarily compulsory, it is possible to refuse theoretically, but practically not. That 's then the candidate of science and associate professor who teaches in one of the university lyceums of the country, which is obliged to be on duty on the USE, and the duties are to sit in the corridor for four hours silently, without a book and a gadget, and guard the toilet. And make sure that the children do not sit there. “Of course, I understand that at this moment I am making the maximum benefit of my country,” the teacher is ironic, “but it seems to me that I could spend this time working with my diplomats or a doctoral dissertation.”
All this is extremely unpleasant, humiliating, and for children - the bets are also high: you don’t get to the exam now, it is not clear when to retake, whether you will retake, whether you will get burned into the university, whether you will lose a year and the money spent on the tutor ... High bets for parents that were invested in tutors, and then, maybe, will be invested in a paid education.
For the state, it is important to establish a well -working conveyor of massive exams. So that there is a maximum of justice and a minimum of complaints. And since it is necessary to ensure simultaneously control and safety, the experience of law enforcement agencies is invaluable: to drag and not let go. Intimidate and nightmare.
Welcome to adulthood.
For some nine -graders, the first clash with this adult reality is the final interview that plays the role of admission to the OGE. And although it is held in his school, the whole situation is not a single human word, the teacher reads the instruction on a piece of paper and includes a record (as in police series the arrested reads his rights and include recording of interrogation) - all this scares particularly impressionable children to hiccups. And although the very final interview with his primitive tasks of the penny of broken is not worth it from a meaningful point of view, his harsh formal situation clearly demonstrates to the children that you are not lusting with the state. I know several cases when children with a well -developed speech were so nervous in this official setting that they were not able to tie a few words and had to retake an interview.
Then someone should make a finger to say an instructively and say: what did you want? This is an adult life, children, everything is so arranged here, here no one will blow you in the ass. Here everything is seriously, everyone closed their mouths and stood in line to the frame to the metal detector, remove the belts, put the phones, raise their hands, sunbathe. What rings is to remove, this is not my business, that you have rinked. It doesn’t matter to me that you have braces there and you can remove them only with your teeth. I have instructions.

All this is primarily humiliating. Moreover, humiliating not only for children, but also for teachers. The teacher cannot and should not act in relation to children - it does not matter, his or stranger - as a policeman. This is not his task - to conduct a personal search and look into the toilet cabins.
I don’t know whose task this is, let Rosobrnadzor solve whose - but definitely not mine. My task is on the exam, if I already find myself there, even if you can only write on the video and you can say the words printed in the form of the instructions-at least smile, encourage, show at least a tone of voice that all this is not a matter of special state importance, but the usual, feasible age task, which everyone can cope, is in a word, to behave like a person among the state before the state, and not as an official representative of the state. declassed elements, prisoners. However,
Many teachers like to consider themselves “sovereign people” that they behave as stolen as possible: this is an adult life, children.
It turns out that adult life is primarily humiliation. We are constantly faced with this - who is where. Guys - in the army, where recruits have to go through many humiliations before they become “grandfathers” and begin to humiliate others. Girls - in women's consultations and maternity hospitals, where they become indistinguishable “women” and “mothers”, with whom it is customary to speak mockingly and derogatory. And to schoolchildren - in exams. The task of the state where you meet him is to scare you to the hiccups and humiliate you so that you remember for life.
All this is not only the features of our state. Although it is especially clearly illustrated by the famous Putin's aphorism "Whatever we build, it turns out the NKVD." And this is exactly known to everyone who had to deal with the state at any stage of life, from the birth of a child to a funeral. It is difficult for our state to surpass some unbearably, infinitely humiliating, empty-eyed Khtoni, which is adjacent to our everyday life-and in which you now and then fall from your imaginary well-being, as soon as you have to take a certificate from a psycho-lech for work or to achieve hospitalization for the cancer patient outside the Moscow Ring Road, as soon as your son dwells to the age of It is able to interest the military registration and enlistment office, as soon as the grave will steal a barely installed fence in a cemetery with a fresh mother's mother. I’m not talking about those whom this hton dragged on to her den - in a pre -trial detention center, in prison, in camps, in boarding schools, in orphanages - all this is a topic for a separate conversation.

But all this is not only purely Russian. This is human, too human. Archaic, but human. All these are the echoes of some ancient rituals of initialization: you must go through pain and humiliation in order to join some community. So in African tribes, boys who should become hunters torment: went through pain and humiliation, proved that he could become a man. So in many cultures, wedding ceremonies are still preserved, where older women are pinching, pushing, insulting the bride while she is a sinking floor: it joins the community of adults, married women. The same happens in the maternity hospital; There is a thorough study of Ekaterina Belousova about this.
In the process of initiation, a person is humiliated, reducing his social status to zero - this is a symbolic death, then he must be revived in a higher status; This is the main thing in the rituals of the transition, whether from a teenager to a hunter, from a recruit to a soldier, from a childless woman to a mother, from a child, a schoolboy - to an adult. Most likely, these rituals are unconsciously reproduced: here you are not hihanki khahanki, there is an adult life, everything is serious here, set aside the laughs, hand over phones, bras and medicines. You are no longer a child, not a person, not a mother of a bunny, not a darling person - you are one of many, a unit among other units, a creature devoid of all individual features - be silent, do not show off, listen to the instructions.
Too greater simplification would be to say that all this grows magnificently and blooms only on domestic soil. Anthropologists observe the same laws in male brotherhoods in American universities and military academies, for example: beginners are subjected to the most humiliating tests.
The scientists of Eliot Aronson and Jadson Mills in 1959 showed in their study that the more unpleasant, humiliating and painful the ritual of joining the group turns out to be, the more its participants cherish their membership in it.
In general, it turns out that it is even beneficial to society - to humiliate their members at the entrance in order to value where they get to them as a serious privilege.
Society with the culture of easier forces their grown children to apply incisions to the body so that they heal the scars with a pattern, or hold their hands in mittens full of biting ants, or undergo painful circumcision. And in societies with culture, humiliation is more complicated to another level - not necessarily roughly physical. Whoever wipes off pain and humiliation is wordless and courageous, who will stand, will not give up, will not cry, will not complain, he will become an adult member of the group and receive a high status. And whoever complains, the status must be taken away, and even better - declared him a traitor.
Now, for example, very interesting events are unfolding in the world of rhythmic gymnastics: the last Olympic champion Margarita Mamun gave a very honest interview that the methods that are used to educate the champions are excessive, and without insulting and humiliation could do. For those who are associated with big sports, the interview had the effect of an exploding bomb. Some athletes support Mamun: "Speaks in every word." Others believe that Mamun showed weakness: “Sport is a very stringent thing ... There should be some pressure from the outside, because your own pressure is no longer enough. And you have no options, you go to the Olympic Games. ” Still others already call her a “moral prostitute” and talk about the “American order”.
You begin to talk about humiliation in the exam - but it turns out that our whole life is permeated with humiliation. Moreover, for the right to humiliate and be humiliated, they are holding on a scraper:
Otherwise, it is impossible, otherwise the whole procedure for the transition from one status to another will collapse, the very concept of heroism will disappear, spiritual scrapers will disappear, the youth will cease to take an example from those who have endured everything and brought the homeland fame.
This coordinate system is built on power and subordination, and it seems that there is no place for the concept of “dignity” in it.
The worst thing is that the more complicated and painful the initiation process, the more those who cannot cope with it. In primitive cultures, young people in this process often die from pain, blood loss, wounds. We have from another: from horror in front of this barrier. The school begins to fear children by the fact that they will not pass the exam, a few years before it. Say, at the school where my children studied, the first conversations on the topic “You are so fools that you will not pass the exam” appeared in the sixth and seventh grade. Parents are concerned about something else: will not go to the budget - will have to pay for the university, and if the army? And where to get the money?
Over five or six years of such pumping, the child understands that he is doomed: he will not pass the exams anyway, and this will become the final collapse of both his personality and parental hopes. The Last Judgment: You are balanced on the scales and recognized as too easy. I did not pass the exam - I did not go through the state reception, received the “marriage” on the forehead and you will be thrown into the outer darkness, where the crying and grinding the tooth.

It seems impossible to survive this.
This year, in April, after the USE sample, a graduate in Saratov took a bad result with a bad result. Very fresh news - the body of an eleventh grader was found in the Moscow district of Sviblovo; The guy was afraid that he would not pass the exam.
Last year, the collapse of such news began in March, with a tragic occasion in Novosibirsk during preparation for the exam, then such news began to come from other regions of the country - before the USE sample - from Stavropol, after failed exams - from the Bryansk region, from the Kirov region and other regions of the country.
And the USE season is still in full swing.
I don’t know whether it is worth once again to write simple conclusions in simple words. But I will write.
In a modern Russian school, there is a desperate lack of respect for a person. Both to the teacher and to the student. It's time to start introducing everyone to the concept of “human dignity” and teach him to defend it.
The concept of "human dignity" in general is the time to return to our society. And in great sport, and in business relations, and in professional communication, and in everyday chatter on social networks.
We are not a primitive society. Мы вполне в состоянии справиться с порывами вернуться в пещерное состояние и подвергнуть наших детей полноценному испытанию в рамках инициации (шрамирование, обрезание, охота на мамонта, прыжки через поставленных в ряд быков), но лучше бы остаться в простых рамках экзаменов по предметам.
Не сданный ЕГЭ — это просто не сданный экзамен, а не свидетельство тотальной человеческой несостоятельности. У общества должны быть внятные образовательные траектории для выпускников, которые не справились с экзаменами и не могут пока найти своего места на рынке труда. «Здоровый лоб — пусть идет работать» — звучит веско, но на практике никому особо не нужен 17‒18-летний человек без профессии, трудовых навыков и школьного аттестата (или даже с аттестатом, я проверяла). Грузчиком и курьером — не у всех хватает здоровья.
На одном министерском мероприятии несколько лет назад я задала вопрос, что делать тем, кто завалил ЕГЭ, и услышала почти официальный ответ «раньше надо было думать». Государство не может давать такой ответ — у него, как и у родителей, на случай провала выпускника на экзаменах должен быть план Б. Хорошо, что в этом году разрешили пересдавать один предмет.
Учитель не должен быть полицейским и охранником. Учитель не должен шпионить за учениками, заниматься личным досмотром и обыском, врываться в туалетные кабинки. Воспитывать нетерпимость к списыванию можно и нужно иначе.
Человеческое достоинство начинается с самого простого физиологического уровня. В XXI веке в школах должны быть нормальные туалеты. Не выгребные ямы. Не кабинки без дверок. Не дверки без щеколд (это я видела даже в так называемых хороших московских школах). А в кабинках должна быть туалетная бумага. Это важнее, чем интерактивные доски, наглядные пособия и красивые стенды.
Очень хочется иногда сказать — да, были люди в наше время, могучее, лихое племя, богатыри — не вы. Хочется рассказать этим балованным детям, как мы жевали гвозди, спали на камнях, рожали ежиков против шерсти, подтирались наждаком и при этом никогда не плакали и не просили пощады. Но для того ли мы живем, чтобы обеспечить наших детей гвоздями, камнями и наждаком?
Или мы им хотим какого-то другого будущего?
Кажется, в пунктах проведения экзаменов в этом году происходит флешмоб «Раздень выпускника». Пока этот текст готовился к печати, новый скандал, связанный с досмотром перед экзаменом, случился в школе № 9 города Видное Московской области. Одна из участниц экзамена пожаловалась главе Лиги безопасного интернета Екатерине Мизулиной на унизительную процедуру личного досмотра. Мизулина в своем телеграм-канале опубликовала скриншот жалобы девушки и ее мамы, а затем скриншот сообщения другой участницы экзамена в Видном. Школьницы говорят, что с ними обращались грубо, тыкали ручным металлодетектором в разные части тела, включая интимные, девочек заставляли поднимать юбки, отнимали прокладки, предлагая в случае необходимости забрать их в медкабинете (за счет экзаменационного времени), требовали сдать шпаргалки, которых у выпускниц даже не было, и т.п.
Прокуратура Московской области уже проводит проверку по жалобам.
Управление образования администрации Ленинского округа сообщило, что по итогам проверки данные, изложенные в обращениях, которые были опубликованы в соцсетях, не подтвердились, этические нормы нарушены не были.
Глава Рособрнадзора Анзор Музаев объявил, что со следующего года родительские комитеты смогут контролировать процедуру проверки детей в пунктах проведения экзаменов .
