Why I did not send their children to school?
Strange question... I have a rather puzzling why smart educated city dwellers, especially reached career heights and material security, break their children, innocent concluding their eleven years in this System.
Yes, of course, in the last century in the village teacher it was much more developed and financially secure, had a higher social status and level of culture than the parents of the children. And now?
Nobles and did not send their children to school, organized the training at home ...
Why a school child, and why is it the parents?
Working parents is very convenient to hand over the child to the storage chamber under minimal supervision, consoling himself with the thought that everyone else is doing. More strange looks from the position of non-working mothers provided her husband, so that they bend their own children, they even prodlonku give them... It seems that these They give birth to children only as a way to support themselves financially, and if there was an opportunity to take them to the orphanage without losing money and in public opinion, almost all of them would have made.
The child is the same school does not need almost never. I never met a single child, which would be the end of October instead of vacations continue to go to school. Yes, of course, the child wants to talk or play with your friends, but do not sit in the classroom. That is, if to ensure the child comfortable communication outside of school, going to school for the child loses all meaning.
School children teaches nothing
We now consider the popular social myths, forcing parents carelessly mutilate their own children.
Myth One: The school teaches (gives the child the knowledge, education)
Modern urban children go to school already knowing how to read, write and count. No other knowledge acquired in school, in adult life are not used. The school program consists of a haphazard set of facts to memorize. Why remember them? Any questions much better answer Yandex. Those children who choose an appropriate specialization will study physics or chemistry again. The rest after graduation can not remember what they were taught as all these dreary years.
Given that the curriculum has not changed for decades, and it is much more important than a child's handwriting, than to touch prints on computer keyboard, no really useful knowledge and skills for future success in adult life, school child does not gives. Even if we assume that this particular set of facts to memorize in school subjects as child really needs, it you can give ten times faster.
The successfully engaged tutors, one hundred hours of teaching a child to what the teacher has not taught for 10 years and thousands of hours.
In general this is a very strange system, when thousands of hours stretched over several years. Already at the institute each item give larger blocks of six months or a year. And a very strange method of learning when children are forced to sit still and listen to something.
The experience of many parents of applicants shows that the number of years of study subject - more than a thousand hours school, plus homework - do not help the student know the subject in an amount sufficient for admission to a good University. In the last two years of school hired a tutor and re teaches the child the subject - usually a hundred hours is enough to be among the best in the class.
I believe that a tutor (or computer programs, interesting books with lively text, educational films, specialized clubs and courses) can be taken outset, 5-6-7 in the classroom, not torturing the child, this pre-thousands of hours :) And in the free time a child can find something for everyone, rather than SCHOOLS.
School prevent socialization of children
Myth Two: The school needs for socialization of the child
Socialization - the process of assimilation of the individual patterns of behavior, attitudes, social norms and values, knowledge, skills, allowing him operate successfully in society. (Wikipedia)
What can be considered a success in society? Who do we believe successful people? Usually held professionals earning their craft well. Respected people doing their job very efficiently and receiving for it worth the money.
In any field. Perhaps entrepreneurs - business owners.
Top-managers. Major government officials. Prominent public figures. Popular athletes, artists, writers.
These people are distinguished primarily the ability to achieve their goals. speed of thinking. The ability to act. Activity. Strength of will. Perseverance. And, as a rule, they are making a lot of effort to achieve a result. They are not able to throw the thing in the middle. Excellent communication skills - negotiating, sales, public speaking, effective social communication. Skill instantly make decisions and immediately. Stress resistance. Fast high-quality work with information. The ability to concentrate on one, discarding the rest. Observation. Intuition. Sensitivity. Leadership skills. The ability to make choices and take responsibility for it. Sincere enthusiasm for their work. And not only in the business - a zest for life and cognitive activity, they often are not worse than that of preschoolers. They know how to give up unnecessary.
They know how to find good teachers (mentors) and learn quickly is important for their development and careers.
Think systematically and easily take metaposition.
Is this a school teach?
Quite the contrary ...
All the years of school, it is evident that about any genuine enthusiasm we are not talking - even if a student manages to be carried away by a couple of items can not be selected, giving up uninteresting. They can not be at the school to study deeply. Most often, they are addicted to outside of school.
Achieving results, nobody cares - the bell rang, and you have to give up something that is not set up, and go to the next lesson.
All 11 years the child is taught that the result is not needed and is not important.
Each case should be thrown at the half-way on a call.
speed of thinking? When targeting middling or weak students? When teaching obsolete inefficient methods? With full intellectual, depending on the teacher when permitted only thoughtless repetition of previously announced facts? Student at a high speed of thinking in the classroom simply uninteresting. In the best case, the teacher simply does not prevent him to read under the desk.
Strength of will? Activity? The system will make every effort to make the child obey. "Be like everybody else. Do not put out "- this is the practical wisdom, which is necessary for adult success in society?
Quality work with information in the school are not taught - most secondary students stupidly did not understand the text read, can not analyze and formulate the basic idea.
Responsibility for the selection? So do not give students choice.
Negotiation and public speaking? Development of intuition and sensitivity?
Leadership skills? The ability to act? Generally not included in the program.
The ability to eliminate unnecessary demand to replace the opposite ability to endure years of unnecessary and useless.
Instead of internal reference children develop emotional dependence on often prejudice surrounding the teacher in the face. This occurs against the backdrop of a full accountability of the student. The child has no right to express their own opinion with impunity.
Polls about good teachers at school, alas, can only dream of. More often than not, few urban parents are less educated and successful in society than the teacher to choose a teacher, as an example to follow. With today's teachers comes the so-called "double negative selection": first arrive in Technicalities those who failed to score points in a a prestigious university, and then only the most maloinitsiativnye of the graduates are working in the school, others find it more lucrative and prestigious work.
In general, the only company that is similar to the school as an adult, it is a prison. But they concluded easier than children: they are of different ages, with different interests, they are not forced into uninteresting affair. There they understand what punished. Freed them earlier than 11 years, if you do not got time for murder.
School class - a model of adult society? This is not true - personally I do not live in a world where all people are the same age... where they have common interests. Where I have to obey the low-paid loser. Where no matter how I was fascinated by the case, I was 45 minutes on a call we would have to throw it without achieving the result and run into another room.
In adults, there is a choice: what to do (and you can always change jobs and the head) with whom to communicate, what is considered the result of which have interests.
In today's world, education, training and socialization of the child - it is the responsibility of parents. Giving a child to school, we were just settling down to it, we did not interfere. Improve our life now due to his future career and happiness.
