“Children consider themselves smart, and the system keeps them for fools”
The family of Mikhail Gorin has three children: Alexander, Sergey and Anastasia (names changed at the request of the heroes. - Approx. Ed.). They all studied from home: the eldest - Anastasia - dropped out of school after the seventh grade, Alexander stopped going there in the fifth, and the youngest - Sergey - found only the first grade. Their mother believed that children should still study at a public school, but Mikhail himself thought otherwise.
“As a child, I came across a series of books by Darrell (a British writer, lived with his family for five years on Corfu, where private tutors and home teachers came to him. - Ed.) - I read them and decided that it was right: the boy didn’t I went to no school, walked around the island of Corfu and learned better than those who went to school. In part, I did something about this book - in the summer cottage I myself was engaged in subjects that I did not understand well at school. ”

Still, Mikhail had to go to school: family education in the Soviet Union was forbidden. But distrust of the school system has not disappeared. Once the head teacher asked why he did not attend the meeting - he always has so many questions. He said that these questions were not for her, but rather for the Minister of Education himself. The head teacher was offended, and after a while a decree came to school - to send some students to a meeting with the Minister of Education. Sent, of course, Michael.
“They wrote down what we discussed at the meeting, but even then it was clear to me that all this would not be fulfilled. They presented us with memory books and a business card of the Minister of Education of the RSFSR. Already at school, the head teacher asked me: “Well, how was the meeting?” “Well,” I say, “the minister gave me a card, said to call, if that“ ”.

But despite the fact that a lot of things seemed absurd to Mikhail, he was generally comfortable at school, and for the last three years he’d even been interested: “I can say that I’m lucky: our class had good teachers and the school had good orders for the Soviet era . Perestroika began - a lot of things could be done. For example, we came up with a physics lesson in the format of “What? Where? When?" - It was popular then, and school teachers and even head teachers told us: “Let's do it.” And we did - everyone really liked it. But this is perhaps the best of my memories.
And so many cases were still unpleasant: when you see that the system is absurd, that it expresses distrust of the child, that it refers to him mechanically. Children consider themselves smart, especially if they do something, and the system keeps them for fools. They feel it. And I felt, and all my friends. ”

“Often a family can provide more knowledge than a school in a neighboring yard”
For the first time, family education is mentioned in the 1992 law - this form of education becomes legal and affordable. But you need to attach to the school anyway - to pass the certification. Therefore, in reality, everything was not so simple.

“Then (in the late nineties, the beginning of zero) a parent came to school to formalize the transition to a family, and the director told him:“ What is a family education? We don’t have that. ” The most honest ones admitted: “We know what it is, but we don’t practice it ourselves.” And there were very few schools that not only knew, but also encouraged this form. ”

For students in family education there are two types of certification: intermediate (to go to the next grade) and final (in the 9th and 11th grades). The schedule and format of intermediate certification is determined by the school to which the student is attached, the final one is for everyone.
