Strikingly, the principles of the Soviet education system are still seeping into the modern school. And many even now seriously call it almost the best in the world. Yes, she could give the child knowledge, but at the same time completely destroyed individuality, making unique children the same "dummies" convenient to the system. Today, the traditional Soviet school is hopelessly outdated. Society itself has changed - it lives in an era of change. For him, not previously acquired knowledge and experience is more important, but the ability to quickly adapt to new realities and find information on their own. Old school doesn't teach that. Textbooks are outdated, teachers lose the very essence of their vocation for "paper" work, discipline and control are perceived as something obligatory, and the so-called patriotic education rather corresponds to the feudal system, and not to the modern state. And yes, all these are remnants of the old school. Is it any wonder that children do not want to study in such conditions? Change is needed. Not in a year, not in a month and not tomorrow. It is necessary to change the education system today. And the book by Dmitry Chernyshev tells in detail and clearly about how this can and should be done.
