"My Parents' School Years"

School years are a wonderful time that leaves an imprint in the life of every person. These are the years of youth, the formation and development of personality, friendship with peers and, of course, first love.

In my essay, I want to talk about the school years of my parents. Mom and dad started studying together from the 4th grade, they spent all the time studying side by side, sat at the same desk and the fact that they knew each other from childhood served to create higher feelings and create a wonderful family.

It became very interesting for me to find out how my parents spent their young years at school, and what they remember most of all, because before everything was different, and time does not stand still ....

So I decided to ask them. Here are the memories they shared with me: “At the time when we were studying, we were still living under Soviet power, and then the life of young people was more organized. From childhood, we became octobers, with the achievement of a certain age, we became pioneers.

During this period, pioneer rallies are most remembered. Pioneers from all regions gathered here, there was an opportunity to communicate and meet new people and just have a good time. In the summer they burned pioneer bonfires, held various competitions, recited poems, sang songs.

After the pioneers in the 8th grade, we joined the Komsomol organization. Komsomol meetings, subbotniks, Sundays were held here. That is, our life was interesting, and we spent time usefully.

I still remember the moment when we went to the plots and nurseries at school to plant Christmas trees. We had a lot of fun during work and breaks.

For the results achieved, they were encouraged to travel to the cities of the USSR. We traveled, for example, to Kazan, Ulyanovsk and other cities. It was very interesting to get acquainted with the sights of various cities of our country.”

Most of all, my mother remembers a trip to Kazan, where they visited the conservatory for an organ music concert. “These sounds made their way to the very heels,” says my mother. Also, together with classmates, they were in the planetarium, museums, theaters.

“In winter, the traditional for our school game “Zarnitsa” was held. It is being carried out even now. Schoolchildren were divided into two squads, usually it was a green and a blue squad. Funny and interesting contests and competitions were held, for example, ski races, logical contests, and treasure hunts. interesting point it was when two detachments seemed to be participating in a military battle against each other, the essence was that it was necessary to rip off the shoulder straps hanging on the shoulders of the opponents.

With special warmth, my parents also speak to their teachers, who left an indelible mark on their memory. Most of all, parents remember their class teacher Medvedev Valentina Nikolaevna. “She brought us up by her example, helped us in difficult times. Valentina Nikolaevna is a rather strict teacher, so we always had order in the class. The teacher paid much attention not only to educational process but also our upbringing. Together with her, we danced, very often went for walks, hikes, went on excursions. We love and respect her very much."

No less warmly do parents remember the history teacher Denezhkina Valentina Nikolaevna. "Valentina Nikolaevna - kind soul Human. Her classes were warm and cozy, as if all subjects were permeated with her voice, smile and kindness. Each lesson in its own way captured and opened something new. The teacher presented the material in an accessible way, she always used a lot of visual aids. Valentina Nikolaevna taught us not only her subject, but also life. Very often we turned to her for advice and she always supported us.”

After leaving school, my parents studied at the college in different specialties in parallel groups and often saw each other. After graduating from college, my father went military service and they continued to communicate in letters.

In 1988, the parents decided to get married. Over time, my sister and I appeared in their lives. She has already graduated from the school where my parents studied, and I continue my studies.

I can judge that my and my parents' school years have significant differences. Their generation had different interests than ours, life was more organized, everyone was busy and did not “hang out” aimlessly. I am very glad that I have such a family.

Looking through the picturesque canvases of old masters from different countries, who were inspired by the theme of the school and its pupils.

"Math lesson".

Peasant lunch in the field. (1871).

Academic year in countryside in ancient times was much shorter than it is now. In some countries, it fluctuated within 150 days. This figure varied depending on how the harvest took place: children at that time were involved in agricultural work and were indispensable helpers. Therefore, schools did not open their doors at the beginning of autumn, but sometimes even at the beginning of winter. And such concepts as "September 1st" and "holidays" in Russia will appear in the lives of students only after 1935.

"At the door of the school."

Schools in the 19th century were houses with one room in which students studied at the same time different ages. In America, they were called: "one room schoolhouses". Rural schools looked almost the same at that time and in Russian Empire. At the same time, there was only one school for several villages, and some children had to walk for knowledge, covering a distance of 5-6 kilometers every day. Teachers sometimes had to live in the same houses, or alternately in the families of their students.

"Back to School"

Schools usually had five to twenty children aged 7 to 16. One teacher taught all subjects, and older students helped him teach younger classmates and lagging comrades. Parents were charged for the education of their offspring. In addition to monetary contributions, it was supposed to bring the teacher also refreshments.

"New Apprentice"

So, bringing a student to school for the first time: " ... parents brought "bread and salt" - white bun, vodka, some living creatures, etc. Every Thursday, the student brought more "Thursday", for Shrovetide - cheese and butter, after each holiday - "holiday". For some reason, the day of the 40 martyrs stood out in particular, when it was supposed to bring 40 bagels and vegetable oil. Part of the bagels immediately crumbled, filled with vegetable oil and eaten by the students, the rest went to the teacher. During the year, the student's parents had to deliver three more firewood to the teacher.

"School".

Supervision by education officials of school teachers was no less than that of pupils. But at the same time, they were not very worried about the level of knowledge of the teacher - only his trustworthiness.

"School Exam".

Translated from Greek, the word "teacher" means "leading the child." IN ancient greece teachers were slaves, who were charged with the duty of protecting the pupil from physical and moral dangers, and before school - and elementary literacy. It was noteworthy that "The ancient Greeks usually chose as teachers such slaves who were not suitable for any other work, but were distinguished by loyalty to the house". The teacher was obliged to bear his duties until the pupil reached the age of majority.

"Protecting Schoolchildren."

Over time, this position has been transformed and has become the most common public profession. In the 19th century, statutes already existed in schools in different countries, according to which instructions were drawn up for school teachers sometimes reaching the point of absurdity. They spelled out how a teacher should behave in public places, what color clothes to wear and what length.

"After school".

As for schoolchildren, learning to read and write at that time was not easy even for capable children. There were not enough printed primers, and it was necessary to use alphabets, which were copied by hand. Having overcome the primer, the students proceeded to memorize church books, since the schools were run by the clergy and there were very few of them.

"A Lesson in the Word of God"

Because of this, many children did not go to school at all, but studied as best they could. Some parents taught them themselves if they knew how to read and write. Otherwise, they gave them to teachers, who were called "masters" and "craftswomen".

"Labor lesson".

However, in fairness it should be said that back in the 17th century, such masters and craftswomen taught literacy and much more not only to the children of rich and noble nobles, but also to royal offspring. Until the middle of the 19th century, teaching from such teachers was still practiced in Russian cities.

"First Drawing"

In those days, pens with ink were a great luxury and students were forced to use personal slates and chalk, and the teacher, explaining the lesson, wrote on a large board. Pointed goose quills were also used, which clung to loose paper, leaving blots. The written letters were sprinkled with fine sand so that the ink would not spread.

"Punishment".

Schoolchildren were punished for inaccuracy: they dragged them by the ears, flogged them with rods, put them in a corner on their knees on scattered peas, and there were no cuffs on the back of the head. Orders in schools of the 19th century were very archaic. For example, on Saturdays, all students were flogged without distinction.

Punishment with rods at school.

"To smack or not to smack?" - V tsarist Russia, as well as in many other countries, they did not even think about such a question. Different kinds punishments were so common and commonplace that you can read about them in literary works, and see in fine arts. Only in 1864 did the “Decree on the Exclusion from Corporal Punishment of Students in Secondary Educational Institutions” appear.

At a rural school. (1883).

In schools, peasant children were taught arithmetic, reading, writing, and the law of God. Children of the same bourgeois and merchants in addition to this - geometry, geography, history.

"Counting Lesson"

Girls from poor families were rarely sent to school, as a rule, they were taught to read and write at home. But from noble families, because of their future position in society, they were still taught literature, art, foreign languages, as well as embroidery, dancing, playing musical instruments, singing.

"Breton School".

It is worth noting that the very concept of literacy at that time was rather vague: "A person who could read church books in household or church use, and a craftsman or merchant who could use literacy in his affairs, and, finally, a literate person who could compose or rewrite a business paper, was also considered literate."

"Trip around the world".

"Little Smokers"

"Turn".

"Singing Lesson"

"Singing Lesson"

"Smokers".

"Young Musicians"

"On the school playground."

"Verbal counting". At the public school.

"Dark spots".

I would like to mention one more interesting fact: in Russia, the history of school uniforms began in 1834, when Emperor Nicholas I signed the "Regulations on Civil Uniforms". Until the revolution, according to the regulations, boys had to wear dark trousers, a tunic, cap and overcoat, and girls - brown dresses with a black or white apron. After the revolution, the school uniform was canceled, but in 1949 it was introduced again, it was not much different from the pre-revolutionary one.

If your school is to celebrate an anniversary, then I propose my idea, in which students participate primary school whose parents studied and were graduates of the same school.

1 SLIDE ABOUT THE SCHOOL
-Today our school celebrates its anniversary. She turns 20 years old. And what is interesting about our school, how does it differ from other schools?
- We, students of the 3rd grade of school No. 22, have been studying at this school for only the 3rd year and it was interesting for us to learn about the history of our school.
And here we are in the museum of our school.
2 SLIDE (at the museum)
The head of the museum Barinova Elena Gennadievna told us a lot of interesting things about our school, about its history, traditions, graduates and asked if we knew which of our parents studied at this school. We were interested in this question and we decided to find out which of our parents was a graduate of school No. 22. and why they brought us, their children, to this school too.

But where to start? We divided into groups, made a work plan for each group, asked our parents about it and conducted a survey on this topic in other classes. And here's what we got. It turns out that
among students of the 4th grade - .. moms and dads are our graduates
3rd grade-..
2nd grade-.
1st grade-

4 SLIDE (diagram)

This work captivated us even more and we wanted to learn more about the graduates of our parents.
One of class hours we devoted to the ability to compose and conduct (take) interviews. We interviewed our parents and asked children from other classes to do the same. The questions we asked were:

1. Hello. We are 3rd grade students. We are conducting a survey. Could you answer our questions?
2. Please introduce yourself.____________________________________
3. Please tell us when you graduated from our school._______________________
4. Remember the name of your first teacher.
5.Who was your classy hand. in high school?
6. What were your favorite subjects and why.
7. What are your memories of the beginning. school? What do you especially remember?
8. What about in high school?
9. If you do not live near school 22, why did you send your child to this school?

We were interested in what memories our parents had about the school where we, their children, now study. Here are some excerpts from the memories
(Excerpts from memoirs).

Student: And although my mother was not a student of this school, she studied at school 10, but now my mother’s first teacher and my first teacher is Elena Gennadievna Korshunova. She helped us in this work.

These are just a few of the former graduates. We recorded all the photos and memoirs of parents-graduates about the school and placed them in our created e-book MY PARENTS ARE 22 SCHOOL GRADUATES, we hope that this book will give rise to a good and good tradition and we think that it will be replenished annually. We hope that the teachers whom our parents warmly remember will also be our beloved and kind mentors.

We decided to give this book to the director of school 22 I.E. Gavrilova, and at the same time to interview her.
9. SLIDE (in the office)

1. Tell me, please, is it difficult to be a school principal? (Yes, very difficult)
2... Do you like children? (yes, very much)
3 ... And what kind of children do you like more? (Different: obedient and not very well-mannered and spoiled)
4. What would you like to wish the students? (be successful in learning, grow up healthy, strong and kind, and after graduation become successful in life)

Students:
1 School is a place where at least someone cares about the child and his problems. Any child has the right to count on school as a place where he can experience the joy of achievement, the pain and happiness of creativity, feel his significance in life, his need for others. School is the place where the child is brought up the most.
2. Having crossed the threshold of the school, the child finds himself on a huge, new planet for him - the Planet of people. He will have to master the ABC of communication with them, to find out why they are so different, by what rules they live, what they value in each other.
3. Gradually, he himself will learn to recognize good and evil, look in others as in a mirror, learn more about himself. These lessons are taught to him by school life itself, and, of course, by his first teacher

4 Everyone knows that a man is judged by his deeds; I think a teacher is judged by his students. The students are the mirror of the teacher. It is in the students that one can see the manifestation of sincerity and nobility, the depth and subtlety of the teacher's feelings. Happy holiday!

In his story on the topic "How did you study before?" I would like to describe the education of our parents during the Soviet era with its communist ideology and planned economy, and the school at the beginning of the emergence of a modern sovereign state Russian Federation during the 90s, when there was a transitional period from an authoritarian system to a democratic one.

I think to start my story with a story about education in the 90s of the last century, since it is closer to modern education. Although, of course, it is worth noting the fact that at that time the schools were practically left to themselves.

Russian education originates from the collapse Soviet Union. The first step was to create 10 summer school, which replaced the Soviet 11 year old. The children went to the first grade and until the end of the third grade they sat in the same office, studying with one teacher in all subjects except music and physical education. Then they went straight to the fifth grade, where schoolchildren were already running around in different classrooms. For example, room number 1 was assigned to algebra and geometry, room number 2 was assigned to physics, room 3 to chemistry, and so on.

At the end of the ninth grade, the students had a choice: to stay in grades 10-11 or leave school to enter secondary vocational school. educational institution such as technical school, college, professional lyceum. If we talk about the remaining students in grades 10-11 as a percentage of the total number of students in grade 9, then they were about 30 percent.

In the 1990s, parents sent their children to school from the age of 6. However, there were also many who brought their child at the age of eight, especially for "autumn" children.

Due to the underdevelopment of the economy and the prevailing economic crisis there were practically no textbooks or manuals for sale. The school administration purchased all the necessary literature and at the beginning school year handed it out to the students against signature. At the end of the school year, all textbooks were returned to school library. For those students who lost or damaged a textbook, a fine was provided in the amount of the cost of such a textbook.

Due to the difficult situation in society, there were no circles, no sports sections, no theaters and performances in schools. The children were left to their own devices. Only by the beginning of the 2000s. children's camps for the summer began to function more or less normally in schools.

All the most notable events came down to the May Day relay race for the city championship in athletics and to large-scale community work days to clean up the nearby grove. Special attention was paid to the celebration of September 1 and last call. And of course, graduation was the apotheosis of all school extracurricular events.

Of the school teachers of that time, the teacher of physics was most remembered. He was an old man with insanely wild eyes and a quick temper. Throwing chalk at a student was his usual routine. I recalled one case when a local hooligan Misha in the 7th grade rubbed a school blackboard with candle paraffin. Naturally, when the lesson began and the physics teacher wanted to write the topic of the lesson on the board, nothing came of it. The class couldn't help but laugh. But when the old man picked up the pointer, everyone immediately fell silent and began to look askance at Mikhail. Then the teacher understood everything, and when his gaze met Mikhail's, the latter rushed out of the classroom. The old man with a youthful reaction rushed after him. So they ran from floor to floor until the principal of the school stopped them and took them to his office. What was there is anyone's guess.

As for education in the Soviet Union, it, first of all, was distinguished by great attention from the state. Communist ideology was actively promoted in schools. Children with early years accustomed to work, patriotism, to collective values. Schools were equipped with everything necessary for comfortable learning. There were various circles, sections. There was a mandatory sports examination of the TRP. There were solemn dedications to the Octobrists and pioneers. There was a single school uniform. Children were admitted to schools from the age of 6. The duration of training since the 70s was 11 years. From the eighth grade, there were vocational disciplines in schools, such as "Fundamentals of Production and the Choice of a Profession". In rural schools, the discipline "Machinery" was introduced. Special magazines were published for children: "Murzilka", " Young Technician", "Young naturalist".

Summing up my story, I would like to express own opinion to the learning process. I believe that learning should be learned. And it is the school that teaches us to learn. It is the school that instills in us a love of learning. People, learn to love to learn!

It is difficult to argue with the statement that school years are wonderful. Studying is easier for someone, harder for someone, someone tries to learn more, someone, on the contrary, tends to mess around, but for everyone, studying at school is a time of discovery and development as a person. Years go by, does the school change? How did our parents do in school?

In many ways it was different, because at least it was a different state. My parents studied in the USSR, it was a huge and powerful country, even more than today's Russia. Parents told me how the younger

Schoolchildren were first initiated into October, and they wore October badges. Fifth-graders were ordained as pioneers, and they had to try to be an example for the younger ones. Studying is bad and now it is a shame, but earlier it was generally considered a shame. Bad students might not be accepted as pioneers, which was tantamount to disaster. High school students were already accepted into the Komsomol.

The study was also somewhat different from the current one. Since there were no computers, all abstracts, posters and wall newspapers were drawn up by hand. Beautiful calligraphic handwriting was highly valued, as well as the ability to draw well and design newspapers. To prepare

A report on a topic, write an essay or essay, the students sat for a long time in the reading room in the library. They did not even imagine that one day any information could be found sitting at the computer at home, and there would be no need to rewrite the damaged page, it would be enough to correct the error in the text and print the sheet again.

Now it seems amazing to me how my parents could do without computers, the Internet, a mobile phone. It seems almost unbelievable, but they found other activities that were no less exciting for them: reading books, just walking in the yard, visiting each other. In general, in childhood, my parents had quite interesting life. In the summer they went to pioneer camps, where they went in for sports, went hiking, and swam in the river. They knew how to do a lot with their own hands: at labor lessons, girls learned to sew and cook, boys planed, sawed, made, learned to repair furniture and appliances.

Of course, a lot has changed since my parents were in school. Although they did not have computers and telephones, their school life was rich and interesting in its own way. I hope that when my children go to school, I will also have something to tell them.
