Problems of modern education
The rapidity of technological progress, the disappearance of old professions and the emergence of new ones, the emergence of wide opportunities for business and self-realization – all this is today’s world. And no one doubts that in order to find a worthy place in it, you need to have good education.
Parents are busy with their careers and their own affairs and cannot pay enough attention to the child, which means that most of the work on teaching and raising children falls on school. But why is the level of education falling every year, and teachers are massively dismissed and find themselves in other areas? What is happening and where is our education system going?

Problems of modern education Problems of the education system obvious. And here is the telling story of geography teacher Yuri Konstantinovich Monastyrev, who quit his favorite Yalta secondary school No. 12 after 35 years of work. He did not arrange scandals, did not collect rallies - just left, tired of the school bureaucracy and lawlessness. He was only a year and a half away from retirement.
Later he still could not stand, and told about the reasons for leaving. His story Monastyrev philosophically called “Reflections of the teacher at the blackboard”. Below are excerpts from the story of this respected teacher, whom former students remember as an inspiring and wise teacher.
Having worked for 35 years, for the first time I was faced with the situation that there is no fixed state program for any school subject. Consequently, there are simply no requirements for pupils' knowledge.”

According to Yuri Konstantinovich, there are methodologists who do not have time to compile educational programs. Therefore, the curricula are the teachers themselves, and the methodologists, littered with paperwork, check it.
“Do you think they are interested in the content of the programme? Not at all. They pay attention to fonts, line spacing, cover design ...”

A teacher at his discretion can insert certain topics into the work program, and no one will notice this, because such control at the state level simply does not exist.
“For example, I am a literature teacher and I dislike Leo Tolstoy. Therefore, I can not include his work in the work program, and students will not study this. No one will notice the absence of Leo Tolstoy, because the main thing for Methodists is design.
DepositPhotos drew attention to school textbooks, which please the variety, but do not allow you to understand the topic even the teacher, let alone the child.
“The textbooks used by Crimean schoolchildren are a manifestation of absolute incompetence. There is no basic principle of learning: from simple to complex. It's all piled together. Would a schoolboy understand this chaos? When I open a book like this, I forget everything I ever knew.

Yuri Konstantinovich was outraged that instead of a single textbook for each course, there are dozens and even hundreds of low-grade books that are written with one goal: to get a state order and “remove” net profit.
“Parents will refuse a lot, but the child will buy a textbook for any money. As a result, a profitable business on the intellectual development of the country, Yuri Konstantinovich laments.
The former geography teacher did not forget to talk about the workload of teachers, about meager salaries, as well as about the growing state of Gorono, which does not know what, but regularly receives budget funding:
“The task of officials is to load the teacher with unnecessary paperwork: curricula, lesson plans, reports ... In this way, beat him, humiliate him, discourage him from resisting and even thinking.”

“As for payment, it is just a spit in the face. The bureaucratic system allows school administrators to reward the favored at their discretion and punish the hated. And this despite the fact that the salaries of teachers in the regions are simply negligible.”
Yuri Konstantinovich also mentioned the craze of children on the Internet. According to his observations, today schoolchildren smoke 5 times less than it was 15 years ago, but at each change they cannot be taken away from smartphones.
“Despite a messy educational system, we manage to keep our children so busy that they don’t see the light of white. Today, the norm is when a fifth-grader has 7 lessons a day, after which he goes to a music or art school, to tutors or to a sports section. In fact, we are taking away children’s childhood, the former teacher said.
This is the cry of the soul from Yuri Konstantinovich Monastyrev, an experienced teacher who gave most of his life to teaching and raising children. The dismissal of the teacher and his subsequent revelations caused considerable resonance. But as often happens, we talked and forgot.
Year after year, the educational system loses experienced and wise teachers dedicated to their work. Yes, young professionals come in their place with eyes burning with enthusiasm and a desire to change something, but when faced with a bureaucratic system, they go to other areas - where there is a future, where you can progress, where you can provide a family.
The problems of science and education need to be solved today, because the situation will not improve by itself and tomorrow will only get worse. What do you think of that? Share your thoughts in the comments.
