Study: Common school ratings biased, often inaccurate

There is a powerful, intuitive idea that has long shaped perceptions of American education: the schools with the highest test scores are the best schools. It seeps into everything from conversations among parents to real estate websites.

But this thinking is profoundly misleading, according to new research. Schools with the top scores aren’t necessarily the ones that actually help students learn more. On top of that, rating schools based on overall scores unfairly penalizes those serving more students of color, potentially exacerbating racial segregation.

“If you just go by published accountability ratings, you will be guided to the schools that have the most white and Asian students,” said Josh Angrist, a professor at MIT who recently won the Nobel Prize in economics. “You’re not actually being guided to the best schools.”

This conclusion isn’t new in education research, but the paper, by Angrist and three other economists, is among the first to rigorously examine the validity of the measures used by the popular third-party rating site GreatSchools. The study comes after reporting by Chalkbeat in 2019 showed that GreatSchools ratings effectively steer families towards schools serving more affluent, white, and Asian students.

Using data from middle schools in Denver and New York City, the researchers compare the  components of GreatSchools’ ratings to their own statistically sophisticated measurements of school performance. (The researchers look only at test scores, mirroring how GreatSchools rates middle schools.) 

They find that the part of a school’s 1-10 rating that is based on students’ proficiency on state exams is particularly off base, and is strongly skewed in ways that hurt schools with more students of color. 

Another part of the rating, the academic “growth” score, is much less biased and a strong gauge of how much a school contributes to student learning, the researchers conclude.

Angrist says their point is not to pick on GreatSchools but to show that the test score metrics widely used by states, media outlets, and other third-party sites are fraught with bias. U.S. News and World Report faced similar criticism last year after rolling out its own rankings of elementary and middle schools across the country.

“We think of [GreatSchools] as emblematic of what’s going on in the domain of school ratings,” Angrist said.

The new research was partially funded by the Walton Family Foundation, which is also a funder of both Chalkbeat and GreatSchools.

Jon Deane, the CEO of GreatSchools, said the organization welcomes this type of study. “This is the work we do: to consistently try to provide the best information to families,” he said. “When we see a signal that there may be better information, we get excited about that.” Deane also noted that the research is limited by its focus on middle schools in just two cities.

Still, he said the work validated GreatSchools’ recent shift to place more weight on academic growth, which — when available — is now the biggest factor in the site’s ratings of elementary and middle schools.  

Asked why GreatSchools continues to use proficiency as a significant component of their school ratings, in light of this and other research, Deane said, “We believe combining multiple measures is really important to share a richer picture of what matters most.” 

The researchers say that some of the differences in proficiency rates across schools reflect factors outside of schools’ control that affect students’ test scores. Those include poverty, food insecurity, and environmental hazards, like lead poisoning, that students of color are more likely to experience.

Of course, school ratings are only one factor in how parents choose schools. Another recent study suggests that school demographics themselves make a big difference. 

In a survey-based experiment, White, Asian, and Hispanic parents in New York City were all much less likely to say they would send their children to a high school with mostly Black students compared to one with fewer Black students. White and Asian parents were also less likely to select a predominantly Hispanic school than a racially mixed or mostly white school.

This was true even when parents were provided with information showing that the school’s graduation rate and safety were similar to other schools with a different racial makeup. These survey results closely mirror families’ actual decisions in New York City’s high school application process.

“People often use these ratings as a way to justify the preferences they already have coming into making school choices,” said Chantal Hailey, a University of Texas at Austin professor who conducted the study. “They already have preconceived notions of which schools are quality schools based upon the demographics.”

Still, a third recent study offers some reason to believe that putting more emphasis on progress would encourage less racially segregated schools. Presented with growth data on nearby schools, white and high-income families were more likely to say they would choose one with more students of color and low-income students.  

“One of the chief virtues of measuring and reporting growth is that it upends the conventional wisdom that the most effective schools are almost always the Whitest and most affluent,” wrote researchers David Houston of George Mason University and Jeffrey Henig of Teachers College, Columbia University.

Any effort to use growth scores to point families to high-quality schools is going to face a major roadblock in the years to come, though. State testing was canceled in 2020, and many fewer students took the tests than usual in 2021. That means it will be challenging — although some say not impossible — to calculate accurate school growth scores.

Currently, GreatSchools ratings are largely based on tests taken in spring 2019. Deane says the organization is still figuring out how to use data from state tests taken last year.

GreatSchools to Omit Pandemic School Testing Data From Its Ratings – The 74

Parents and educators are asking: when is GreatSchools going to have new school data? 

The answer is two-fold. First, it’s important to know we are not going to give parents information that doesn’t help them, or only helps some of them. Second, we have been consistently adding new data, but its type and source may surprise you.

Omitting new assessment data — for now 

The cancellation of standardized testing in 2020 and the partial resumption in 2021 has produced two years of nonexistent or, at best, incomplete data. In collecting data from all 51 state education agencies, we’ve found that student participation levels differ widely, ranging from 97% in Mississippi to just 23% in California. 

Importantly, even in states with “high” participation rates, we do not know which student groups are represented. History tells us the highest-need students often disappear from these data first — and they are also the ones who have suffered the most from pandemic learning disruptions.

Without disaggregation, it is impossible to discern which student groups are under- or unrepresented in a given data set, challenging our ability to present an accurate view on how schools are serving all students. Using incomplete data sets to update our school quality ratings would be like trying to make a recipe with only a partial ingredient list.

This, combined with the concerns we’ve heard from many of our research partners, is why we are excluding 2020 and 2021 assessment data from our GreatSchools ratings. In most states, this means that parents will continue to see test data from 2019 on their school profiles until we can obtain and display 2022 assessment data. Each state’s timeline and data publication process is unique, but we hope to receive this data and make it available to parents nationwide on our profiles by the end of this year.  

Although we are working to collect and display this 2022 assessment data as soon as we can get it from states, we also know that parents can’t wait. They need recent, relevant school information now. For families, parsing through years of school data isn’t an academic exercise — it’s a matter of their child’s education and well-being. According to the National Parents Union, more than a third of K-12 parents are concerned about how schools are supporting students’ learning and their social-emotional and mental health needs amid the ongoing pandemic. 

Parents need timely, robust school information now more than ever, and we have committed to finding and sharing it from several new sources.

Advancing a broader view of school quality 

Data acquisition challenges aside, we know that school quality is defined by more than just test scores. Painting a rich picture of school quality includes sharing information on the resources schools have to offer, the practices they employ to support all students, as well as the outcomes the school is achieving and whether all of these things are equitably distributed. 

Even before the pandemic struck, GreatSchools has been collecting and sharing new, relevant school information with parents that goes beyond test scores. We remain committed to presenting families with a more holistic view of school quality by:

• Sharing new data types. School quality is reflected by more than just assessment data. Components of a school’s culture, such as trust and commitment, also contribute to student success. We’ve already added this “school climate” data to GreatSchools profiles in Illinois and New York City. Building upon what we’ve learned, we are now preparing to display climate data in five more states in the coming months. By connecting more parents with this valuable, new type of school quality information, we hope more states will see the benefit of making this data accessible for families.

• Leveraging partnerships to improve data access. High schools with strong college outcomes often attribute their success to advanced course offerings. To help parents discover schools that offer such classes, we’re partnering with national organizations that share our commitment to ensuring parents have equitable access to this information. Starting this week, parents will be able to browse high schools’ advanced course offerings on GreatSchools profiles and explore why they matter for their child’s success.

• Spotlighting best practices for college success. In 2021, we recognized 1,838 public high schools with our annual College Success Award, which offers parents a snapshot of whether high schools prepare students to enroll in college, succeed with college-level coursework, and persist into their second year. In 2022, we launched our bilingual Transforming High School collection to highlight for educators and parents how College Success Award-winners are innovating to create more equitable and effective experiences for their students. The two-year project began with a thorough landscape analysis; consultation with school design experts; interviews with experts, parents, and educators; and a data analysis on schools with outsized success among low-income students.

• Improving opportunities for school leaders to share information. Who better to share what makes a school great than the dedicated leaders that walk its halls each day? School leaders can register as a representative of their school, then add information about practices, policies and courses to their GreatSchools profile. This newly revamped feature allows leaders to connect directly with current and prospective parents and provide additional context beyond quantitative data, from band to world languages to extracurriculars and more.

• Elevating the voices of historically marginalized families. The Community Reviews section of our school profiles allows parents, students, faculty and community members to share their school experiences with others. We’ve recently improved our review tool to better support parents of diverse backgrounds in sharing their story. In the past three months alone, nearly 10,000 parents and community members added new reviews to school profiles, reflecting upon school safety, learning, social-emotional well-being and more so families of similar identities can understand how the school will support their child.

A call to action for state education agencies

As noted, we are actively working with states to collect 2022 assessment data and look forward to displaying that on our profiles when it becomes available. In the meantime, we urge states to join our efforts to connect parents with the rich school quality information they want and deserve. To do this, state education agencies must:

• Disaggregate data sets. Giving families access to rich, disaggregated data builds knowledge, expands thinking and strengthens positive communication among families, educators and schools. A recent Data Quality Campaign report shows that only 28 states disaggregate data by student groups in their state report cards (and six states that previously did have now removed it). The effects of disrupted learning were not evenly distributed and parents deserve to know who is being left behind.
• Calculate growth. Even without consistent assessment data from 2020 and 2021, states can — and should — still calculate growth. There is no reason why 2019 and 2022 data cannot be used to quantify how well schools have supported students the past few years. If we only look at students’ current achievement levels, we will not get a clear understanding of how schools are truly serving their students, particularly children of color. This is why growth is now key to our GreatSchools ratings, and why we continue to advocate for states to gather (and disaggregate) this data to provide a more nuanced lens on school quality.

Deane: To Help Parents Better Understand Their Children’s Schools, Student Growth Is Now Key in Our GreatSchools Ratings

• Prioritize school climate data. School climate data helps parents understand important aspects of their child’s learning environment, such as leadership, collaboration among teachers, instructional rigor, family engagement and student social-emotional support. Although the pandemic disrupted the collection of this information, it’s coming back much quicker than assessment data. However, many states still don’t collect or report climate data, others do so voluntarily by districts, and some share it only at the district or state level. Every school in the country should have a climate survey and parents should be able to see the results. States can make this happen. 

Combining reliable and valid outcomes data — particularly data rooted in equity — and new information about climate, school practices and parent perspectives will give parents more of what they need to obtain a better picture of school quality today. As the ancient proverb goes, “necessity is the mother of invention.” Though the pandemic complicated our usual ways of assessing school quality, it has also created opportunities to find new ways of understanding how well schools are serving their students. 

Parents need accurate and equitable school information now. With a bit of creativity and dedication, together we can find it.

GreatSchools Wanted to Disrupt Online School Ratings. But Did It Make Neighborhood Segregation Worse? – Mother Jones

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.

Thalia Tringo, a real estate agent in the Boston area, faces a dilemma whenever a homebuyer asks her if the local schools are any good. This can be a dicey topic because buyers’ perceptions of schools are often closely associated with the racial makeup of their student bodies, which usually matches the racial makeup of their surrounding neighborhoods. Tringo avoids answering specific questions about schools because of professional rules designed to prevent racial discrimination in housing. So like many real estate agents, she plays it safe, telling clients to look up the information on their own, even though she is wary of what they’re likely to find.

Among the first results on a cursory Google search is usually GreatSchools, a nonprofit site that ranks public schools nationwide and feeds that information to real estate sites such as Redfin, Zillow, and Realtor. com. GreatSchools is easy to find, but its ratings correlate closely with students’ racial or economic backgrounds. “The schools that get high marks and diverse schools tend to not be the same ones,” Tringo says of the exams GreatSchools uses to produce its score. She recalls going to an eighth grade graduation for a client’s kid at Winter Hill Community Innovation School in Somerville, just outside of Boston, and marveling at the friendly atmosphere among the middle schoolers and the diversity of the graduating class. “[It] was just amazing,” she says. “But you wouldn’t get that from looking at rankings.”

Winter Hill has one of the most diverse student bodies in Somerville: Half of its students are Latino and 13 percent are Black. Yet with a rating of 4 on a scale of 1 to 10, GreatSchools deems Winter Hill “below average.” Its students’ poor test scores drag its rating down, despite evidence that they’re making as much academic progress as most students in Massachusetts. Buyers looking for homes near highly rated schools might skip right over the Winter Hill neighborhood and look closer to one of Somerville’s other schools or in another town altogether.

There’s evidence that GreatSchools’ ratings are exacerbating racial segregation, not just within school systems but in the communities around them. “What makes GreatSchools popular is partly that they’re linked to real estate sites, which is partly what makes them dangerous,” says Sean Reardon, an education professor at Stanford University who studies poverty and inequality. “They start to overtly link people’s residential choices to what seems to be a measure of school quality. While that makes lots of sense if it’s a high-quality metric of school quality, if it’s more of a measure of socio­economic composition of schools, then it runs the risk of creating incentives for more socioeconomic segregation.”

While residential segregation can lead to school segregation, the inverse is also true.

If you don’t have kids or haven’t been looking for a house recently, you may not have heard of GreatSchools, but its influence is profound. Its ratings are incorporated into popular real estate websites, which pay GreatSchools to use its data. It is supported by deep-pocketed philanthropies, especially ones with ties to the charter school movement. GreatSchools says its site attracts 45 million people a year; by comparison, there are about 40 million households with children in the United States.

Due to the pandemic and the reenergized movement to fight for racial justice, the inequities between school districts have been thrown into sharp relief: Some can easily afford to implement distance learning while others lack the resources to effectively teach online. Institutions of all sorts are being pushed to reexamine their roles in reinforcing systemic racial divides, and GreatSchools, which had already been reevaluating aspects of its school-rating metrics, appears to be doing the same. “Racial segregation and racist policies are woven into our education system and everyone involved has to do better to create more equitable outcomes for all students, GreatSchools included,” CEO Jon Deane told me in an email. But Deane added that he still believed GreatSchools can be an important tool for parents. “We feel strongly that it’s a parent’s civil right to have access to information about their schools.”

Bill Jackson got the idea for Great­Schools in the early 1990s, when San Francisco’s school superintendent wanted to know if a new restructuring program was working. He dispatched the twentysomething Jackson, who had a few years of teaching experience and a public affairs fellowship, to investigate. Jackson concluded that the rosy reports that principals were feeding back to the superintendent were mostly untrue. “This experience led me to believe that parents and the public—not to mention school administrators—needed more and better information about school quality,” Jackson later recalled.

In 1998, after working for a tech startup and a voter information website, Jackson launched GreatSchools. The nonprofit expanded rapidly after President George W. Bush signed No Child Left Behind four years later, requiring states to implement standardized testing and publish the results. GreatSchools quickly went from evaluating schools in two Bay Area counties to becoming a de facto grading system for all public schools. In 2011, as it added an unprecedented number of schools to its database, it brought in $10.8 million. (In 2018, the most recent year for which data is available, its revenues were $7.3 million.)

GreatSchools now maintains more than 100,000 school profiles, one for nearly every public school in the country. Its data, pulled from states and the federal government, includes test scores, teacher-to-­student ratios, discipline rates, and students’ racial backgrounds. The site also includes user reviews from parents and community members, though their input doesn’t affect a school’s overall rating. GreatSchools lets schools add information to their profiles, including schedules, uniform policies, and what kinds of classes and extracurricular activities they offer.

But any nuance is overwhelmed by the single score featured prominently at the top of every profile. A rating of 1 to 4 indicates a school is “below average”; 5 or 6 signals it is “average”; and 7 to 10 means it is “above average.” Those scores are generated using complex formulas that rely heavily on standardized tests. Yet education researchers and advocates worry about evaluating schools based on their test scores. The tests, they say, measure surprisingly little of what students learn; have debatable abilities to predict kids’ future success; and produce results so highly correlated to students’ racial and economic backgrounds that they are, essentially, demography in disguise.

“Schools are not commodities that can be shopped for like cereal.”

Since 2017, GreatSchools has tried to make its scores take into account whether students across demographic groups are falling behind their peers both within the same school and in the rest of their state. In August, GreatSchools rolled out a major overhaul of its system in California and Michigan, which produced new ratings that give less weight to raw test scores and more importance to equity and year-to-year improvements on test scores. GreatSchools plans to expand that approach nationwide. (Three days after this story was published online, GreatSchools announced that it was implementing the new ratings across the country.)*

But any radical changes to Great­Schools’ ratings would require states and the federal government to provide additional data for all schools in a consistent fashion. The appeal of Great­Schools ratings, after all, is that they provide a uniform way to compare schools across the country.

For now, GreatSchools’ heavy reliance on test scores—and other measures that are highly correlated with race, like graduation rates and Advanced Placement test performance—means homebuyers looking at its ratings don’t have to harbor any racial animus to steer clear of neighborhoods with sizable Black or Latino populations. They just have to use GreatSchools’ filters on real estate websites to skip over listings in areas with poorly rated schools. Since homebuyers who can afford to move into areas with highly rated schools are largely white and Asian, the scores could reinforce the separation of neighborhoods along racial lines.

In 2018, two business professors, Sharique Hasan of Duke University and Anuj Kumar of the University of Florida, published a study that examined what happened to neighborhoods in 19 states and Washington, DC, after GreatSchools ratings were introduced. Their analysis took into account local real estate trends and recognized that homes near schools with better test scores were already priced higher before GreatSchools rated them. When the researchers updated their findings this spring by adding seven more states, they found that the gap between average home prices near schools with better ratings increased by more than $16,300 after three years compared to those near average-rated schools. And those areas close to highly rated schools attracted more white and Asian residents. Near lower-rated schools, the gap in property values also decreased by roughly $16,000 over three years, and white and Asian residents left. “Broader access to information increased segregation because high-income families could more readily leverage school ratings to move to neighborhoods with better schools,” Hasan and Kumar wrote. “In this case, knowledge was indeed power, but only for the powerful.”

While residential segregation can lead to school segregation, the inverse is also true. A major reason for that is a 1974 Supreme Court ruling that school desegregation efforts cannot stretch across district lines, except in the most egregious cases. But even within districts, boundary lines that dictate which schools kids attend can skew neighborhood demographics. For decades, parents have used the racial breakdown of schools as a proxy for assessing their quality. Ann Owens, a sociology professor at the University of Southern California, found that households with children live in more segregated areas than those without children. “As long as neighborhoods are demarcated by school district boundaries limiting enrollment options, parents will take these boundaries into account when making residential choices, which may contribute to segregation,” she wrote.

Last year, journalists Matt Barnum and Gabrielle LaMarr LeMee of the education news site Chalkbeat concluded that GreatSchools’ ratings “effectively penalize” schools serving higher proportions of low-income, Black, and Latino students. The Chalkbeat writers noted that GreatSchools’ own data showed that many of these schools were doing a good job helping students learn math and English. Yet they still had a tough time getting above-average ratings on GreatSchools. “The result,” the reporters wrote, “is a ubiquitous, privately run school ratings system that is steering people toward whiter, more affluent schools.”

Explore Oakland’s GreatSchools Ratings in This Interactive Map

In Oakland, where GreatSchools is headquartered, most of the highest-rated schools (scores 7–9) are situated in the northern part of the city lining up with white neighborhoods, whereas most of the lowest-rated schools (scores 1–3) are concentrated in the neighborhoods of West Oakland, Fruitvale, and Eastern Oakland, parts of the city where Latino and Black people predominantly live.

GreatSchools says its ratings are not the final word on schools’ quality, but a starting point for parents to investigate further. But despite requests from Kumar, it won’t provide data on how many users scroll past the top number to read more nuanced information. Kumar says his study’s results fly in the face of hopes that equal access to information will promote equality, a premise that remains at the heart of GreatSchools’ mission. “I personally feel their intentions are noble,” he says. “But what we are seeing is, there are often unintended consequences.” Even if all parents had the same access to information, he says, they do not all have the same ability to put that information to use.

Deane, GreatSchools’ CEO, told me that the conclusions reached by Chalkbeat and Hasan and Kumar “overlook, or at best minimize,” the systemic racism that has “steered our society for decades.” “It’s very important to look at underlying issues and policies that segregate communities and create opportunity gaps, including school boundary designations, property taxes and the relationship to school funding, discipline and safety policies, among others,” Deane wrote in an email. “If we are to address the fundamental inequalities that still exist in America’s schools, we must respect the right of all parents to access critical information about their schools. This is GreatSchools’ mission.”

GreatSchools management has been aware of these issues for years. Jackson, who left the organization in 2016, says that as early as the mid-2000s, he and others at GreatSchools had worried that assigning school ratings could exacerbate residential segregation. “People are absolutely using [GreatSchools ratings] to find other people like them and to sort economically and sometimes racially,” he says. But he recalls that GreatSchools’ management concluded that self-sorting wouldn’t go away even if GreatSchools did. People would find the same information elsewhere, either from competitors or government websites.

No students in the predominantly Black neighborhood of Mattapan lived within 1.5 miles of any of the district’s best-rated schools. Not a single one.

It appears that internal conversations about these issues were limited. The group’s board never formally discussed them, Jackson says. Education writer Leanna Landsmann, who was on the board for 14 years and also served as the board chair, told me flatly, “I don’t remember any discussions ever about GreatSchools resegregating neighborhoods. Ever. I would have remembered that. I came out of the civil rights era.” Eric Hanushek, a prominent education researcher at Stanford University and former GreatSchools board member, says he remembers conversations about what kinds of families would use the site, but not about how ratings could affect residential segregation. (Several board members declined to comment or did not respond to requests for comment.)

The way GreatSchools hopes people will use its rankings has shifted over the years. In 2011, the organization stated that “informed school choice” was one of its top missions. At the time, Jackson told me, charter schools and school choice had bipartisan support, and President Barack Obama’s administration promoted them as well. Now that charter schools have lost favor among Democratic leaders—largely because of concerns that they siphon resources from traditional schools and undermine teachers’ unions—GreatSchools has shied away from explicitly endorsing them.

Nevertheless, GreatSchools’ biggest donors read like a Who’s Who of the school choice movement: the Walton Family Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and Arnold Ventures. When I asked representatives of these organizations whether they thought GreatSchools helped boost the case for charter schools, they did not answer directly. “We are longtime supporters of the organization,” says Marc Sternberg, the Walton Family Foundation’s K–12 education program director, “because of our belief that knowledge is power, and the more clear, accessible information parents have about school options, the better.”

The Walton foundation has given GreatSchools more than $23 million since 2009. In 2011, the foundation’s $4.8 million grant made up almost half of GreatSchools’ revenue. The Gates Foundation, which has given $9.7 million to GreatSchools (most of it more than a decade ago), pointed out that its most recent grant supported an effort to track how high school graduates fare once they get to college. “Our investments in GreatSchools’ rating systems,” senior adviser Bill Tucker says, “are grounded in our belief that parents deserve and value information about how their schools are performing. ”

Along with representatives from tech and finance firms, people with private and charter school backgrounds still feature prominently on GreatSchools’ board of directors. Deane, who became CEO in early 2019, has a long background in charter schools. He briefly worked on school issues at the Gates Foundation and spent three years as the director of education for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which has funded charter school programs. Earlier in his career, Deane worked as a math teacher and administrator in Bay Area charter schools. But he says he sends his children to a public school in San Francisco (it gets an 8 on GreatSchools). The organization, Deane says, is “agnostic” about what kind of school parents send their children to.

“Schools are not commodities that can be shopped for like cereal,” says Jack Schneider, an assistant professor of education at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, who has become one of Great­Schools’ fiercest critics. (The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has funded some of his research, too. ) In 2017, he wrote a piece for the Washington Post castigating GreatSchools and the real estate websites that use its ratings. His daughter’s school in Somerville, he noted, received a 6 from Great­Schools while schools in nearby towns scored much better. “These towns, no doubt, have excellent schools,” he wrote. “But are they better than ours? There’s little evidence of that. The main difference, it seems, is that they are whiter and more affluent.”

The Boston area is a great illustration of how an overreliance on test-based evaluations can profoundly disrupt communities, whether it results in the state shutting down “underperforming” schools that serve Black and Latino students, or wealthy residents driving up suburban real estate prices as they look for the “right” school attendance zone.

School ratings are only one factor behind segregation in the Boston region. White racial animosity is so ingrained in the area that Stony Brook University professor of Africana Studies Zebulon Miletsky calls it “the Deep North.” That hostility exploded in the mid-1970s, after federal Judge W. Arthur Garrity ordered about 17,000 Boston students to change schools in an effort to desegregate them. White parents clashed with police in front of TV cameras as the integration plan was carried out. The “anti-busing” protests had long-­lasting effects: They weakened the resolve of Northern politicians to carry out the types of desegregation efforts Southern cities had gone through decades earlier, and they led to white flight from Boston to its suburbs.

The desegregation efforts ultimately did improve race relations in Boston, Miletsky says, but disputes about racial integration have flared up again. In 2014, Boston replaced the desegregation-era plan with one that prioritizes allowing children to go to nearby schools. Because of these changes, researchers have found that students in predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods south of downtown now have fewer top-tier schools to choose from, face more competition to get into those schools, are less likely to attend them, and have to travel farther to get to them. The researchers pointed out that no students in the predominantly Black neighborhood of Mattapan lived within 1.5 miles of any of the district’s best-rated schools. Not a single one.

“Test scores go down and it becomes a ‘bad school,’ and nobody wants to send their kids to bad schools.”

Ruby Reyes, the director of the Boston Education Justice Alliance, says test scores, which GreatSchools relies on for its assessments, set off a chain reaction that schools struggle to recover from. The cycle is exacerbated by gentrification that has pushed lower-income residents out of their neighborhoods or the city completely. At the same time, charter schools have poached students, particularly in predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods, further draining public schools short of funds. The result is a “culture of fear and scarcity” in schools with low test scores. “It’s this vicious cycle of [schools] losing kids in enrollment and then their budgets get cut, and so services are lost,” Reyes says. “Then test scores go down and it becomes a ‘bad school,’ and nobody wants to send their kids to bad schools.”

Residents’ fears of sending kids to “bad” schools appear to be fueling “a growing mismatch between the demographics of kids who attend Boston’s K–12 public schools and the city overall,” the Boston Foundation reported in January. “The families who leave Boston when their kids approach kindergarten are predominantly middle and high income. Today, almost 8 in 10 students remaining in Boston’s public schools are low income…and almost 9 in 10 are students of color.”

Ultimately, Schneider says, families just want an easy way to assess the true quality of schools, and the simplified score GreatSchools offers doesn’t give much insight. “It’s not GreatSchools’ fault that the data wouldn’t answer that question for this family,” he says. “But if their theory of change is we should provide good information to people so that they can make decisions about where to send their kids, then you ought to ensure that you have the information that people need.” “Schools are not uniformly good or bad. Schools have different strengths and weaknesses.”

To find a better answer, Schneider partnered with eight school districts in the state to create an alternative. The Massachusetts Consortium for Innovative Education Assessment (MCIEA), which started in Somerville in 2016, now includes a range of districts, including Boston, wealthy suburbs, and outlying towns. It is developing its own evaluation system, for both schools and individual students, that is meant to replace standardized testing.

Most school rating systems don’t ask people what they actually want out of their schools, Schneider says. So that’s where he started. When he and other researchers talked to teachers, parents, administrators, local leaders, and students, they heard a list of concerns that aren’t reflected in GreatSchools’ ratings or the data that governments collect. For example, people said they wanted qualified teachers who connect with students and stick around long enough to be part of the community. They wanted rigorous curricula. They expected kids to feel safe so they can concentrate on learning. And they wanted a place where students could be well-rounded and engaged citizens.

One striking difference between Schneider’s school profiles and those of GreatSchools is that there’s no overall score for each school. “The fact that most states present [an overall] rating of schools is just absolutely evidence of malpractice,” he says.

“Schools are not uniformly good or bad. Schools have different strengths and weaknesses. ”

But how do you gauge that without relying on standardized tests? I saw the alternative in action in an eighth grade science classroom in Milford early this year before schools were closed. The teacher broke her class into teams to assess the contents of four beakers containing clear liquid. The students had all sorts of ideas for how to do the test, or the “performance evaluation,” as MCIEA calls it. Some weighed the beakers to calculate the liquids’ density and compared their results to values they found on the internet. Several smelled the contents and noticed an odor suspiciously like vinegar. Two teams were at the back of the room, boiling the liquids over a burner. If there was any salt residue once the liquid evaporated, one of the students explained, that would probably mean it was salt water. Another kid asked for baking soda, presumably to see if it would foam up when poured in.

The students were devising their own experiments—and seemed to be thoroughly engaged even as they were being evaluated for their problem-solving and teamwork. Teachers in several MCIEA districts told me about the projects they’d been able to create thanks to the freedom they were given. A high school social studies teacher in Attleboro described a project that explored the controversy over whether Harriet Tubman should replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. “I can remember a kid ranting about the Specie Circular,” the teacher told me excitedly. Sally Eosefow, a former engineer who now teaches math, rattled off several challenges she presented to her students. In one, precalculus students had to find a plane wreck on a map given just two angle measurements, which requires them to use sines and cosines. In another, kids chart their own pulse and blood pressure readings based on sinusoidal functions.

MCIEA’s long-term goal is to show that these methods produce more valuable results than the existing state exams, so that school districts could replace the tests completely. Yet first both the state and federal education departments would have to agree that MCIEA’s methods could produce the same results as standardized tests. Schneider says that would defeat the purpose, since he sees standardized tests as flawed to begin with. The consortium is “waiting for the political winds to turn” so it can replace standardized tests with its evaluation tools in the districts it works with.

If it succeeds, it could offer parents and educators a very different way of looking at school performance. “If we built better data systems that aligned with the things that people care about and that treated schools and communities fairly,” Schneider says, “maybe we would be able to unravel and unstitch this national narrative we have that good schools are a rare commodity that parents need to compete over and that you can’t just send your kid to the neighborhood public school.”

In 2014, Boston replaced its desegregation plan with one that prioritizes allowing children to go to nearby schools. Since then, researchers have found that students in predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods south of downtown have fewer high-performing schools to choose from, which is reflected in GreatSchools’ scores. For example, the Lilla G. Frederick Middle School in Dorchester gets a 1. Its student body is 1 percent white and the surrounding neighborhood is less than 3 percent white.

GreatSchools’ partners are showing signs of taking the problem of racial segregation and school ratings more seriously. Redfin recently changed how it displays Great­Schools ratings. Glenn Kelman, Redfin’s CEO, tells me that putting the ratings on home profiles has been a “real point of contention here at the company.”

Kelman says his employees worry about the potential to encourage white flight and exacerbate residential segregation. Plus, as a company that employs real estate agents, it has to worry about their running afoul of fair housing laws. “The challenge that GreatSchools and Redfin have is that the consumer does want a really simple answer, and we want to provide context,” Kelman says. “People want to know which one is good and which one is bad. When you try to say it’s more complicated than that, you sometimes lose your grip on their attention.”

Kelman says an intern confronted him two years ago about how reductive the GreatSchools ratings could be, so he contacted GreatSchools about providing more details on Redfin’s website. GreatSchools, Kelman says, jumped at the opportunity. Now users can click on a school listed on a house profile and see the different components of GreatSchools’ ratings as well as residents’ reviews of the school. In its first year, the new feature didn’t lead to any changes in consumer behavior, according to Redfin. (Only 10 to 15 percent of people who click on a home profile scroll down far enough to see school ratings in the first place, the company says. It could not provide data on how many users filtered their search results by school ratings, but said few people use the feature.)

Still, Kelman says he’s glad his site included the new information. “I think tech, more broadly than Redfin, is just waking up to the idea that websites matter, mobile applications matter. We have to be careful about the information that we provide,” he says.

“Being in this seat a long time and trying to influence where people ought to want to live, what kind of home they ought to want for environmental reasons or for reasons of social justice, I just feel like I’ve come up against the most deep-seated desires people have,” Kelman tells me. “They call us when they just had their first baby and their world has narrowed to those two or three people—one or two parents and the child. Trying to get them to think about the rest of an American city is hard.”

Are GreatSchools’ Ratings Accurate? All You Need to Know

Not every school is the same, and it’s not always easy to find a good school to enroll your child(ren) in. Some schools have a great reputation and you can learn a lot about them by word of mouth, but parents often go online to find out more before enrolling their kids. GreatSchools is a popular website to use to find out more about a school, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best place to go. That being said, are GreatSchools ratings accurate?

Fortunately, DoNotPay can help figure out the answer to that question, and even provide a better alternative. Don’t worry about trying to figure out the legitimacy of reviews or a website on your own anymore. You can access DoNotPay reviews on various companies like Experian Boost, Equifax, Formswift, Lifelock, and Fastweb.

What Is GreatSchools?

GreatSchools is a nonprofit organization designed to help parents find out more information about the schools in their area. The organization hopes to educate parents to help them make the best decision on where to send their kids.

GreatSchools rates a school based on:

• Diversity
• Test Scores
• Graduation Rate
• Student-to-Teacher Ratio
• ACT Scores
• College Readiness
• Advanced Classes Opportunities
• Equity

What Should You Look for in a School?

What you need to look for in a school depends on your child(ren). Some children have different needs than others, so there’s more to research about a school than test scores or available AP classes. 

Questions to ask when looking for a school:

• What opportunities are given to all children attending the school?
• Is bullying an issue at the school?
• Are certain students prioritized over others?
• What type of school is it?
• Is the curriculum at the school any good?
• Does the school have a special education program? If so, is it actually beneficial to the disabled students?
• What do the attending students think of the school?

There are other questions you can ask too. The questions on this list won’t apply to everyone, and every child has different needs that should be addressed.

Is GreatSchools a Good Place to Find Information About a School?

At first glance, GreatSchools seems to be an amazing place for finding information about schools in your area. It provides information regarding test scores and demographics, but that seems to be the only thing the website cares to give out. There is hardly information that isn’t based on race or income, and most of the ratings are broken down by demographics.

For example, when college readiness is broken down by race, two races may have a 10/10 score for college readiness, but every other race of people attending the school have a 3/10 score for college readiness, despite the overall college readiness rating for the school being 10/10. This makes the organization seem racially biased, which could make the school ratings inaccurate or void altogether. 

Based on the parent, student, and teacher reviews of the school located on the website, the initial ratings are accurate. However, when you look for reviews of the organization from another source, an entirely different picture is painted by people who have experienced time at the schools.

On SiteJabber, GreatSchools has an overall rating of 1. 8 out of 5 stars. With that in mind, it can be said that GreatSchools is not a good place to find information on schools in your area. 

What Are People Saying About GreatSchools?

Reviews on SiteJabber paint a horrible picture for GreatSchools. Parents, teachers, and students claim the organization actually removes negative reviews about schools from the site. Searching for reviews of the website brings up several articles on the negative effects the website has on people, as well as articles claiming

GreatSchools is inaccurate and primarily focuses on test scores, ignoring other important aspects of a school. The most prominent issue people have with GreatSchools is that it promotes racial segregation. Whether these claims are true is very controversial, but it’s safe to say people are not fond of GreatSchools. 

How to Find Accurate School Ratings on Your Own

To find accurate school ratings, it’s essential you look up reviews of the website you’re using too. Positive reviews located on the website are not the best source to use for information. It’s better to compare and contrast what different websites say about a school, and to find reviews from other sources. However, this process can take a lot of time and effort.

To find accurate school ratings, you need to:

1. Look up ratings and reviews websites have on the schools in your area.
2. Search for reviews about the websites used.
3. Compare and contrast the information provided.

Are you only researching on GreatSchools when choosing a school?

Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater

Have you ever heard the saying “throwing the baby out with the bathwater”? Legend says that in the past, families only bathed once in a while – and every member of the family got to do it inside the same tub of water.

Dad had the first turn, then Mom, then the kids, and lastly – the baby. By then, the water was not exactly clear and it was easy for whomever was throwing the water out not to see the baby in it.

When you are choosing a school, if you aren’t looking at the important points, you might very well be missing them; and throwing out the opportunity to have your kids attend a good school – and buying the dream home for your family.

Some of the mistakes you could make when choosing a school relate to exclusively using one source of information to assess how “good” a school is.

For example, many people rely only on the information provided by GreatSchools* to compare schools

GreatSchools is an independent website which aims to give parents the tools to be able to compare schools side by side and make an informed decision of whether a school is good for their needs. GreatSchools mainly offers two kinds of information about schools to parents:

1. GreatSchools Ratings
2. GreatSchools Reviews

1. Greatschools Ratings

One digit

When looking through GreatSchools, you can find a big, red graphic with a single digit next to the name of each school. These single-digit numbers go from 1 to 10, with 10 signifying a better school than the one with a grade of 1. By digging a little deeper, you can find that these single-digit numbers have been calculated by GreatSchools based on the State’s Standard of Learning Scores.

In this case, we are talking about the Virginia Standard of Learning Scores (SOL). The SOLs are standardized tests that all children must take every year and the result of these tests is a number from 0 to 100 representing the percentage of children who passed the test.

This way, the Virginia Department of Education is able to average out these passing percentages to identify the overall passing percentage of a grade (e.g. 5th grade), a demographic (e.g. hispanic students), a school, a division (e.g. Fairfax County Public Schools), and the State.

In Virginia, the overall SOL pass rate is 88, and the “division” of Fairfax County Public Schools is 92.

So, what is the problem with using Greatschools single-digit rating?

SOL scores Passed vs Tested

The first problem that I found is that I couldn’t correlate the single-digit to the actual SOL score. I first compared the single digit, say “8” to the last digit of the SOL average for a school. In some cases, it matched (i.e. The school’s average SOL score was “98”). But it was inconsistent. Some schools which had a single digit rating of, for example: “4” did not have an SOL average score of “94”. I averaged the passing rates across the 3 school-years of scores reported on the spreadsheet, but that didn’t match. Next, I averaged only the “Math” scores, only the “Reading” scores, and a combination of all the scores that I could find on the sheet and I still couldn’t make them match.

What I found is that GreatSchools’s ratings are more art than science
The issue with the ratings being more art than science is that this makes it difficult to make an informed decision. How can you know which school is better than another one when you don’t understand how they’re being rated?

So how can you find reliable ratings?
To make a decision based on a reliable rating, you can go directly to the official source of SOL scores – the Virginia Department of Education, where you can find detailed spreadsheets on pass/fail rates for every school, every grade, every subject, and every demographic.

But looking only at test scores can tell you whether a school is good -on paper-, so how do you know what the real-life environment is like? For this, many people rely on reviews. GreatSchools offers reviews which can be written by anybody – parent, teacher, student, and even someone without any ties to the school. However, relying exclusively on GreatSchools’s Reviews can be another mistake.

2. GreatSchools Reviews

Thousands of product reviews is better than just a few

We are so used to relying on reviews for purchasing stuff on the Internet that it’s easy to translate that trust to other reviews. The difference is that, on Amazon, for example, the most popular products have hundreds – if not thousands of reviews. And on top of that, there is a system for voting for the “most helpful” reviews so that they rise at the top (not that these reviews are perfect either, but you can see a trend).

The difference between Amazon and GreatSchools is that most schools only have a handful of reviews (at least in Fairfax County). With hundreds of children attending a school each year, and the ability for students, parents, and everyone else to provide a review – a handful is hardly a representative sample of what the school environment is like. Further, in some cases, one disgruntled person can post as many reviews as s/he wants, therefore biasing the few reviews available.

All this to say that I think GreatSchools is, indeed, a good site
GreatSchools is a valuable website with good information. It’s just that choosing a school based only on the GreatSchools ratings and reviews, causing you to disregard some great homes to purchase, could be like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. This almost happened to some recent clients of mine –

Charlie and Jackie almost missed out on a great home

Let’s look at the example of some recent clients of mine (let’s call them Charlie and Jackie) who were home-shopping from out of town. They had done their homework and had selected several elementary schools and a few homes within their boundaries to visit. So, we were out looking at homes and I mentioned to them another area which could meet their needs. We found a house on the MLS which met all their criteria – and the only thing left to do was to check if the assigned school met their criteria as well.

The results from GreatSchools weren’t promising
Jackie checked GreatSchools and came back sad because the GreatSchools single-digit rating for that school was a “4”. She thought that this meant that it was a 4 out of 10 (and that doesn’t look very good as it points to a below-average rating). Then, she looked at the reviews and there were 13 of them. Several reviews were negative and revolved around a specific theme.

I asked Jackie to check the official School Report Cards
I asked Jackie if she had looked at the Virginia Department of Education “School Report Cards”, and I pointed her to the State government website where she could download the specific spreadsheet. After looking at the official spreadsheet, she found that the school had scored a 94 out of 100. And the average SOL pass rate for the entire Fairfax County is 92 (Virginia’s is 88). Certainly, 94 is above average and is not the poor “4 out of 10” that she came to believe at first.

Jackie also evaluated the validity of the reviews
After she looked at the SOL scores, I asked Jackie to evaluate whether the reviews were valid or if they were perhaps written by a few disgruntled people. And even if there were several disgruntled people, we wondered if 13 total reviews (8 negative ones) were enough to give her the big picture of the school environment with over 800 kids enrolled in the 2011-2012 school year. To get a better understanding of the school environment, Jackie also got information from neighbors with kids in the school who gave her a different view from what the GreatSchools’s negative reviews said.

Charlie and Jackie made a decision armed with enough information
Happily, Charlie and Jackie were satisfied with the new info they had found and decided to make an offer on the home they really liked – because the school did meet their criteria after all.

Are these the only two ways to choose a school?

SOL School Report Cards are one way to compare schools

You may think that choosing a school based only on reviews and SOL scores doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the right school for your children. And you are right. Reviews are very subjective. You would have to have enough of them to see a trend.

And SOL scores are only one way to compare a school with another. There are several reasons why a school might be better over another for your specific needs. Some of the reasons could be the size of it (by enrollment), the special programs offered, and even the grades offered. All of this information is publicly available on the official Fairfax County Public Schools website.

Here are a few public sources of information that you can access to make an informed decision

Now you know of other sources of information that you can access to get a better picture of any school that you are considering for your children:

1. The Virginia Department of Education “School Report Cards” – for detailed SOL pass/fail rates

2. The Fairfax County Public Schools website– for information on special programs, enrollment, grades offered, etc.

And yes,

3. The GreatSchools website– where you can find other juicy bits of info to help you make an informed decision.

The Problem with “Great Schools”

by Ali McKay

If you have young kids or use online realtor sites, you’ve probably seen the school ratings from GreatSchools. Our school is rated a “4”. That’s out of 10. When I was in school, forty percent is not a grade that I or my parents would have been happy with. In fact, there would have been a fair amount of freaking out about a 4 out of 10. And yet, my children, and all of the other 330 kids in that school, are learning, having fun, and occasionally misbehaving or letting off steam. They are being kids. The more I think about it, the more I wonder how a building full of people – actual kids, teachers, parents, staff – can be described by one number.

I am very happy with our school, even though it has some pretty significant challenges. It isn’t a “4” to me, or to most other parents I’ve talked to. I have friends at other nearby elementary schools with ratings of “3”, “4”, even “2” – they also love their schools.

So why is our school’s Greatschool.org rating not fitting my experience, and so many other people’s experience? And why do ratings in general, and Greatschool.org’s ratings in particular, perpetuate segregation and resource hoarding?    

First, a little bit more about my experience. I knew our school was a remarkable place when we toured. I saw a young girl put her arm around the shoulders of her classmate (who appeared to have significant special needs) and guide her carefully across the library. This act of care stuck with me, but mostly, I just saw lots of cute kids. Many were students of color, some girls wore headscarves, and there were a wide range of disabilities and special needs. This was, and is, a community that was a better reflection of the world than a school that is white, privileged and segregated. We believed this would be the kind of education my kids needed. So, we left our more white, privileged and segregated school and moved our children to this school.

And it has been the kind of education they need. Truthfully, it’s also been the kind of education I also need as a white, privileged parent. My older son, an “Advanced Learner”, is thriving, especially socially. I won’t say the academics are as rigorous (or stressful) as before, but he is a reading fiend and I have seen his anxiety drop and his social life develop in a very healthy and positive way – in ways I don’t think it could have at the whiter, much richer school he attended before. In our previous school, there was a clear majority (white, wealthy, high achieving) from whose norms he desperately did not want to deviate. With such a clear norm, his drive to conform was strong. He cried in class often. And, our platitudes to him about diversity held little weight or relevance to him there. Now, he is one among many – different races, different economic classes, different religions. It seems his need to conform can’t find root.

Importantly, from that also flows an active dialogue and conversations between us and our kids, and between my husband and I as their parents, about race, class and difference. Why does a classmate wear a head scarf? What is her experience fasting for Ramadan? What is a Christian? What is an Atheist? These are all conversations we’ve had. We’ve had to engage with these issues as parents much more deeply than when we could float lazily on the river of sameness at our old school. We are now “riding the rapids” of difference, which is sometimes scary, but also empowering. Empowering because we learn and develop critical thinking skills rather than float along doing what everyone else does.

As for my younger son, who is in Kindergarten, he just told me the other day that he actually likes school. He’s enjoying himself, and he’s learning to read, write, and interact with peers who look and act differently and have different abilities than he does. He gets a social education as much as an academic one. Most importantly, there are loving, dedicated and hard-working teachers and staff at school every day telling all the students that they matter and that they can learn. These things are very important to me, and a number rating will never be able to tell me about them.

Now, let’s talk about the problem with GreatSchools. Our previous school is a “good” school, rated 7 out of 10 on GreatSchools. Search on GreatSchools and you’ll see these ratings right away. The “good” schools are marked with big green tear drops (let’s call them “GoHere! Drops”). The schools who rate 7 or less are depicted by tiny little orange, red or gray circles (let’s call them “Stay Away! Circles”). Here is Seattle, where I live:

Parents who see those little orange and red dots (Stay Away! Circles) are, understandably, worried. The ever-present narrative is that you MUST send your kids to the good schools. And you must do whatever it takes to send them to those schools. Or you go to private school (and many do in Seattle).  Why is this the narrative? Because that’s what everyone else says and does. Because we are asking and answering other people’s questions. But we need to be asking other (or at least more) questions. Questions of the schools, questions of ourselves, and questions of GreatSchools.

So what, exactly, is GreatSchools measuring? Mostly socioeconomic status, it turns out. In fact, Jack Schneider, an historian and researcher who studies schools, has written that factors the schools can control usually explain only about 20% of test scores.  That means at least sixty percent of test scores is determined by socioeconomic status. Low income students will tend to score lower and high income students will score higher – and this is regardless of where they go to school. Much has been written about why, but, as just one example, researchers have found that poverty affects kids’ language environments. And, middle and upper class parents are, from day one, cultivating their kids’ language and other skills, setting them up to stay in the middle or upper class.

Certainly, the more words you know and the more your parents and your upbringing have cultivated you for tests, the better your test scores will be.   It is these scores that account for 47% of GreatSchool’s school rating for elementary schools (and a whopping 72% if you add in their ‘Student Progress’ on tests factor). This means that the GoHere! Drops and the StayAway! Circles are mostly telling you to find high socioeconomic students and avoid lower socioeconomic students (and English language learners, kids who qualify for special education services, and so on . . .).

I can attest that the testing situation I’ve just described is true for my kids. Ours is a Title I school where 65% of students qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch, and, significantly, upwards of 30% are homeless and 48% turn over (i.e. leave) every year. While many students at our school do not meet the standards for their grades, my kids test fine (as mentioned above, the older one is even an “Advanced Learner”).

GreatSchools seems to be aware that there may be a problem, and changed their ratings late in 2017 to include an equity component. This component accounts for 28% of a school’s rating (i.e. whether it is a GoHere! Drop or a StayAway! Circle). Their website says: “We believe that every parent — regardless of where they live or how much money they make — needs reliable information in order to ensure their child is being served by their school.” They have many pictures of Black and Brown families on their site.

They may be sincere and wish to effect positive change. But they are an organization that relies heavily on test scores. And importantly, appears to be funded by revenue from ads for private schools and funders, like the Walton Foundation (a conservative foundation created by the Walmart family), that have often been hostile to public schools – hostile to the very idea that public schools are a common good that supports a robust, flexible and tolerant democracy. We also need to ask how useful these school ratings are to the Black and Brown families they picture on their website. The GoHere! Drops show up almost exclusively in mostly white neighborhoods where, in Seattle and cities like it, a small single family home costs at least a million dollars and where there is little or no affordable housing. (That school with the 10 in the map above is in a neighborhood where, as of this writing, there was nothing for sale below about $1 million, and I happen to know many desirable houses go for 30-40% over asking.) Similarly, how much revenue does GreatSchools generate licensing their ratings to online realtor sites and other real estate sites targeting people who have the wealth to purchase a home in the first place? Those who have enough income and wealth to purchase a home in zone with a “good” school (GoHere! Drops) are not low income or low net worth families. Even GreatSchools’ president Mathew Nelson says that the best way to know if a school is right for you is to visit and talk to people in the community. So, what is that single digit rating really for then?

These facts are troubling by themselves. More importantly, and as I said above, we should view anything that assigns one number to a school building full of people – kids, teachers, custodians, librarians – with a hefty dose of skepticism. And, to ice this rather yucky cake, these ratings perpetuate segregation.

There is evidence that families seeking those GoHere! Drops on Greatschools.org, the “good” schools, are in fact a big cause of housing segregation (See, The Chicken or Egg Debate: Housing v. School Integration by Halley Potter of The Century Foundation). The increasing income segregation our cities are experiencing is exacerbated by families with high incomes seeking good schools, sometimes causing up to two times more segregation (See Neighborhood segregation is driven by income inequality, choice of school districts). [Mar 2019 Update: a study released in October 2018 finds evidence that online school ratings systems are accelerating segregation.] Schools are about as segregated now as they were before Brown v. Board of Education. For poor and non-poor students, housing segregation increased between 1991 to 2012 by 40%. Real estate segregation and school segregation have obviously been linked for a long time. This was no accident when it started – government policies, redlining, restrictive housing covenants, and more, created a lasting phenomenon. But now, we have an app, we have a rating and we have our GoHere! Drops and StayAway! Circles that do the job even more efficiently than ever, even if the overt racial animus that originally caused segregation has lessened.

If school ratings, especially test score focused ratings like GreatSchools’ ratings, are a problem, how are you supposed to pick a school? Take the two tour pledge: set foot inside two schools. You wouldn’t buy a house without going in it, so why do so with your child’s education? When we were deciding on our current school, we toured and we talked to teachers and parents. It didn’t take that much time, and walking around and seeing the actual people in the building was the most important factor for us.

Second, remember that parents tend to pass along the dominant narratives, whether they are actually true or not. They will tell you a school is “good” or “bad”, even though they might not have ever been in the school they are talking about. I noticed this when talking to other parents. People who had never set foot in our old school called it “the private school of Seattle Public Schools,” probably because it has high test scores and middle and upper class families, and they heard it from other middle and upper class families. Researchers like Jennifer Jellison Holme and others have found this to be true (i.e. that families listen to and value a school based on what other privileged parents say about it).

And then, investigate your values and your goals for your kids. I am guessing your goals for your kids when they are 50 is not that they had high test scores. Like me, you probably want a lot more than that for them. Like me, you might be anxious about academics or anxious that not being around high achieving peers or watching screen time at school sometimes (gasp!) will hurt their prospects as adults in a competitive world. Anxiety is a small price to pay for seeking justice and dismantling systems of segregation and racism. And, it makes me feel icky but it bears repeating: socioeconomically advantaged kids will get high test scores wherever they are, because of the luck of their birth.

You can also read more about how parenting to advantage your kids can cause harm. Ask yourself if you can participate in the increasing segregation of our schools and the continuation of separate and unequal educational opportunities. If it is important to you that the kids in your school be like your kid, and the families be like yours, ask yourself why and don’t allow racist stereotypes to go unchallenged. Talk to some families who have chosen integrated schools, read about a Seattle parent’s choice to attend a mostly Black school, and read this Kids & Race post on sending your privileged kids to a “low performing” school.

For more about integration and its positive effects, read all of Nikole Hannah Jones work and How Racially Diverse Schools and Classrooms Can Benefit All Students, by The Century Foundation. Finally, never forget that integration is not about benefiting the privileged kids, or letting them see Black and Brown children in the halls on their way to their segregated advanced placement classrooms, but about deeper and equitable learning for all students.

The decision may not be easy, we certainly spent a lot of time on ours. I do know a school isn’t a number – my kids are not a number, and neither is any other child.

**(Note: Ali removed a reference to one study that showed that kids from low-income families may have 32 million less words directed to them than their middle and upper class peers. I did so because of some problems with the methodology of the study and concerns that focusing on things like word gaps may blame families for their own poverty rather than the racism, classism and ableism of this country.)

In fact, the average score of the certificate is the grade with which a graduate of the ninth or eleventh grade of a school participates in the competition for admission to a college or technical school, but sometimes there are situations when good marks in a school certificate can be useful when enrolling in a university. By the way, the ProfGid career guidance center has recently developed an accurate career guidance test that will tell you which professions suit you, give an opinion about your personality type and intelligence.

  What grades are included in the certificate

  Documents on basic (9 grades) and general (11) secondary education contain information about grades for each subject from the compulsory part of the curriculum. Nevertheless, the final grades in the certificates for 9and 11 classes are exhibited differently.

  Grade 9

  For ninth-graders, it is important how they pass four subjects at the OGE (Russian, mathematics and two to choose from), because the final grade will go to the certificate, which will be calculated as the arithmetic average of the annual and the mark obtained in the exam. For the rest of the subjects that did not pass the OGE, and the study of which ended in the ninth grade, simply annual grades for the 9th grade are put.

  And it doesn’t matter what the annual marks were in the eighth or seventh and more junior grades. To make it clearer: let’s say, in the eighth grade, there were problems with chemistry and for the year there was a three, and in the ninth grade Mendeleev’s talent suddenly woke up and the annual five was brought out. This means that previous failures do not count – they do not matter at all, and it is the last “excellent” that will go to the certificate.

  Grade 9 also includes grades for subjects that were studied earlier, but the full course was completed in grades 7–8: music, fine arts and others.

  Grade 11

  On the certificates of eleventh-graders, the scores obtained in the exam will not be reflected in any way: they are graded without taking into account the results of exams. But for them it is important what marks were in the magazines during all two years of study in high school. The final grade for the certificate for grade 11 is calculated as the arithmetic average of semi-annual (or trimester, quadruple – depending on how the school year and intermediate assessments are organized at the school) and annual grades for the subject that was studied in grades 10 and 11. The average score that will go into the certificate is rounded up to a whole number.

  For example:

  • There are six grades in physics for grades 10 and 11 in the journals – four semi-annual and two annual: 3, 5, 5, 4, 4, 5. For a certificate, you need to calculate the ordinary arithmetic mean – ( 3 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 5) : 6 = 26 : 6 = 4.33. According to the rules studied in school mathematics lessons, we round up to 4. This will be the average score for two years of studying the subject, which will be put in the certificate.

  Yearly grades for subjects completed before Grade 10 are not included in the Grade 11 certificate.

  9th and 11th grade certificates include final grades for additional courses that schools include in their curricula if at least 64 hours have been allotted for the study of the subject within two years. For them, the average score for the certificate is calculated in the same way as for the main subjects in the programs of the corresponding level.

  Starting from 2021, for three subjects: physical education, fine arts and music, schools have the right to put the “passed” mark in the certificates for grades 9 and 11 instead of the final grades on a five-point scale. Other entries such as “did not study”, “released”, “did not listen” are not allowed.

  How to calculate the GPA

  This is much easier than dealing with the final grades for grades 9 or 11.

  GPA is a simple arithmetic average of all grades that are given in the document of education – basic or general secondary.

  So, in order to calculate the average score of the certificate, no matter for which class, you need to add up all the marks in it and divide the resulting amount by the number of grades. No additional calculations taking into account semi-annual, quarterly, examination or any other assessments are needed.

  Example:

  • There are 12 grades in the certificate for grade 9: 3, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3. Just add them up and divide by the number of terms (items, for which there are marks). (3 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 3): 12 = 3.91. The result is rounded up to 4. This is the average mark of the certificate for the 9th grade.
  • In the certificate for grade 11, 18 grades: 3, 5, 4, 5, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 3, 4, 5, 4, 4, 4. We also find the sum and divide her by 18. (3 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 4): 18 = 4.05. This result, according to mathematical rules, is rounded up to 4. Such an average score will be in the certificate for grade 11.

  The fact that physical education or drawing can now be assessed according to the “pass/fail” system does not mean that grades in these disciplines will completely disappear from documents on basic and secondary general education. How exactly to celebrate the sports and artistic talents of graduates, educational institutions will decide at the teachers’ councils and consolidate their opinion with internal regulations. If there is no mark for these three subjects or one of them, then when calculating the average mark of the certificate, they (he) are not taken into account – as if they were not included in the document at all.

  What grade point average is required for admission

  The significance of the grade point average for admission to colleges and universities is different.

  Colleges

  When entering colleges, the GPA plays a major role. To become a student of a college or technical school, you do not need to take entrance exams (only for creative or other specialties that require special abilities – for example, military, doctors, teachers, artists, dancers). Candidates are admitted to study according to the competition of certificates. Its essence is that applicants with the highest average scores of certificates are selected for the available places.

  For applicants of all secondary educational institutions (colleges, schools, technical schools), a good GPA is a pass for free education in a prestigious educational institution and in demanded promising specialties. And it doesn’t matter if an applicant enters after grades 9 or 11: the competition is still held according to the average score of the certificate. For applicants for creative and some other “special” specialties, the grade obtained in additional entrance tests (DWI) at the educational institution itself is added to it.

  Naturally, the higher the average score of the certificate, the more chances to pass the competition. In prestigious colleges, such as colleges at leading universities – PRUE. Plekhanov, Financial University, MGIMO, RANEPA and many others, for specialties popular with applicants (economics, law, humanities) with a very small number of budget places, the average passing grade of the certificate is 4. 85–5. Moreover, when the competition is large, points are taken into account with an accuracy of hundredths.

  A more modest passing GPA in areas with a large number of free places. In metropolitan colleges it is:

  • IT – from 4;
  • equipment and technologies (any – food, catering, services, food production) – from 3 to 4.3.

  In disputable situations, with an equal number of points for a certificate or entrance exams and a document on education, the selection committees may take into account marks in school subjects that are profiled for the specialty.

  Universities

  When entering universities, the average score of the certificate plays a secondary, even tertiary role. The competition is based on the results of the exam. To them are added marks for DWI (in certain specialties or in some universities – Moscow State University, MSLU, MGIMO, NGLU, etc.) and individual achievements, if any. The average score of the certificate is not taken into account in any way.

  It may be needed only if applicants score the same amount of points for the Unified State Examination, DWI and personal achievements. In this case, preference will be given to a candidate with a higher GPA, but this is not necessary: ​​the selection committee may be interested in individual grades for major subjects for the specialty. Such did need to be clarified in the rules for admission to the university.

  Officially, the method for calculating the average score of the certificate of ninth and eleventh graders is set out in the order of the Ministry of Education No. 546. (clause 5.3b).

  conditions for obtaining, money, grades, benefits

  Additional points when entering a university and memory for life. Grade 11 graduates receive a special award for the “five” in the certificate. What gives a gold medal at school and what are the conditions for obtaining it in 2022 – in our material0131 General Education Department of Education
  and Science of the Tambov Region

  The guiding star of Russian education, Catherine II, for the first time established a gold medal for special achievements in teaching. The Cadets were the first to receive it. And from 1828 to 1917 – all schoolchildren. The medals were again remembered after the victory in the Great Patriotic War. Even then, in the difficult post-war years, the gold medal was really golden. It was made of 583 gold. Weighed 12 grams.

  The medal “For special achievements in teaching” is made at the Moscow Mint. And only one name remained from gold in it. It is made from different alloys – brass and tompak. Therefore, stamping does not represent material value. But in non-material terms, the medal is still significantly appreciated.

  In Soviet times, medalists could first enter any university in the country. Then – to any university, having passed one exam with an “excellent” mark. Today, the award provides only a few extra points for admission to universities, but they can also be decisive. Therefore, graduates have something to fight for. Schoolchildren are still striving to show all their knowledge and become the owners of this award.

  In 2020, the medal was awarded without taking into account the results of the Unified State Examination, so the number of its owners increased by a third. This immediately led to talk of her being discredited. Regardless, the 2022 graduates are gearing up to receive the award. Their medal will be in a new design: with a coat of arms on the front side, a book with rays and the inscription “For Special Achievements in Teaching” on the back. For the first time, the trademark of the manufacturer will appear on it.

  Gold medal conditions
  

  Learning is always useful, folk wisdom says. Excellent study will come in handy to get a gold medal. This is what, first of all, they pay attention to when rewarding students. And the name of the medal “For special achievements in teaching” emphasizes this fact. By the way, the conditions for awarding the gold medal of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation approved in 2014 ¹ . Since then, only adjustments have been made to them ² .

  The results of the Unified State Examination are also a litmus test of success in learning. It is logical that excellent students should show an excellent level of knowledge at the final certification, having received high scores. Accordingly, this term is one of the conditions for obtaining a gold medal.

  Grades
  

  Studying at school is divided into two periods – up to grade 9 and after it. In the 10th, all previous merits of the student are reset to zero. A new school stage begins for him, and the average mark of the certificate and the opportunity to receive a medal depend on how he shows himself in the two senior classes.

  So, six final grades are important: for two semesters and a year of grades 10 and 11. All “fives” guarantee a medal. And worries about failures in music or drawing are groundless: there will be no such subjects in the certificate of the eleventh grader.

  This does not mean at all that it was possible to study carelessly until the 9th grade. High school is just the tip of the iceberg. And without a reliable base obtained earlier, success, as well as excellent grades, will not be achieved.

  This is how the gold medal looked 20 years ago. Photo: Ekaterina Zaeva

  Other conditions
  

  Another condition is excellent results

  USE

  In 2022, graduates take two mandatory exams –

  Russian

  and

  Basic Mathematics

  . To get a gold medal, you need to score 70 or higher for these exams. Do not write off the accounts and items of choice. Exams in these disciplines must be passed on the number of points that correspond to a satisfactory assessment. If an excellent student in the exam got excited and scored not very high scores, then he will not receive a medal.

  In 2021, those who did not intend to continue their studies at the university, instead of the Unified State Examination, passed the GVE – State final exam . It is difficult to imagine a contender for a medal who does not plan to continue his education at the highest level, but still. In this situation, the graduate who passed the “five” GVE in the Russian language became the owner of the gold medal.

  Two capitals – Moscow and St. Petersburg – present their own medals to gifted graduates. To become their owner, you can allow the presence of a couple of “fours” in the certificate. The conditions for receiving the capital award are:

  • victory or a prize at the main test of children’s knowledge – the All-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren;
  • impeccable exam results: at least one exam you need to get the maximum 100 points or 220 points or more for three exams.

  Advantages of the gold medal
  

  The main advantage of the gold medal is additional points when entering a university. It is noteworthy that each of them, at their own discretion, evaluates this achievement of schoolchildren. Here are some examples from university ranking leaders.

  • Bauman Moscow State Technical University and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University — 10 points;
  • Lomonosov Moscow State University — 6 points;
  • Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation and National Research Nuclear University MEPhI — 5 points;
  • MGIMO – 4 points;
  • Higher School of Economics and St. Petersburg State University — 3 points;
  • Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology – 2 points.

  Plus 10 – the maximum bar for a medal. When applying for a university, it is not necessary to provide it. It will be enough to present a certificate of graduation with honors, which will become evidence of this achievement.

  Money for a gold medal
  

  Excellence students are not provided with a monetary reward for a medal at the federal level. Wealthy regions or municipalities may, at their discretion, financially mark a gifted child. But this doesn’t happen often. Balls or other solemn events are held everywhere for medalists, where clever and clever women are honored.

  Popular Questions and Answers

  Marina Satanina, Acting Head of the General Education Department of the Department of Education and Science of the Tambov Region, answers:

  How many points does a gold medal give a graduate?

  – The procedure for obtaining a medal is established by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. She is awarded unconditional excellent students who have proven their knowledge with an impeccable certificate and high scores on the exam. It is clear that such children should have a bonus when entering a university. This bonus is precisely the medal “For Special Achievement in Teaching”, which belongs to the category of individual achievements. And the size of such a bonus is set by universities by internal orders. The “weight” of the medal in all universities is different. Higher education institutions of regional rank often value such an award at a maximum of ten additional points. Many metropolitan universities also do not skimp on them. But there are universities where you can get quite a few points for a gold medal plus. They rate victory in specialized Olympiads or portfolios much higher.

  What is a gold medal actually made of?

  — The value of the medal itself is still symbolic. Solid gold medals ceased to be issued in the 1960s. Now they are made of brass and sometimes plated with a thin layer of 999 gold.

  What other academic excellence awards are there in schools?

  — The medal is perhaps the main form of encouragement for high school graduates for academic excellence. In some regions, a silver medal has been preserved. In some – on a par with the federal issue their gold medals. For good studies at school, you can traditionally receive commendable sheets and certificates of honor, various competitions are held where you can prove yourself, becoming, for example, the best lyceum student. All these awards go to the student’s portfolio, which is also presented upon admission to the university and is one of the possible individual achievements of the applicant.

  How to calculate GPA – calculate GPA

  GPA (Grade Point Average) – the average score of a certificate or diploma. It shows the overall performance of a schoolchild or student. According to the Russian and European scale, it can take a value from 0.0 to 5.0, according to the American scale, from 0.0 to 4.0.

  GPA may be required for admission to preparatory programs, undergraduate, postgraduate studies at many foreign universities. In most US universities, this is a mandatory requirement.

  Average requirements of US higher education institutions

  • middle level universities: 2.5 – 3 points;
  • top universities: 4 points.

  As a rule, if you are not a straight A student, Harvard University will not consider your application. But there are ways by which the most prestigious education can still be obtained.

  Advice from IQ Consultancy:

  In America, the practice of changing universities at any stage of education is quite common. You enter a university with lower entry requirements, improve your GPA during your studies, and upon completion of the first year (or upon reaching the required GPA), you apply to the desired university.

  For such a “maneuver”, you need to choose a university with a suitable program and requirements for admission, as well as correctly calculate how much and in what time you can increase your score.

  • Do you want to study in the USA?

    Answer 5 short questions and find out which university to consider first.

    Pass test

  US GPA calculation example

  The calculation takes into account not only the grade for the subject, but also the time spent studying it. This information is indicated next to each subject in the certificate or diploma.

  Suppose your certificate has 4 subjects with the following data:

  Algebra (150) – excellent
  
  Physics (120) – good
  
  Literature (100) – satisfactory
  
  Geometry (100) – good

  In this case, the GPA calculation will look like this:

  Step 1

  The US higher education system uses a 4-point grading system. Therefore, first you need to convert Russian points into their American equivalent.

  9 votes

  Russian system	Meaning	American system
  5	Excellent	four
  four	Good	3
  3	Satisfactorily	2
  2	unsatisfactory	one

  Step 2

  We multiply the points obtained by the number of hours for each subject and summarize the results:
  (150×4) + (120×3) + (100×2) + (100×3) = 1460

  Step 3

  Find the sum of hours spent on studying all subjects:
  150 + 120 + 100 + 100 = 470

  Step 4

  We divide the result of the calculations of step 2 by the result of the calculations of step 3:
  1460 / 470 = 3. 1

  The result obtained will be the GPA indicator.

  How to calculate the GPA of a Russian diploma

  If you need to calculate the GPA of a diploma, then most likely the grade of some subjects will look like “pass” or “fail”. Each university evaluates them differently: some award them the highest score, and some do not take them into account at all.

  Check this information with a university representative before submitting documents or contact IQ Consultancy specialists for help. We cooperate with leading universities abroad and know the peculiarities of admission to each of them.

  If GPA is low

  The GPA indicator allows you to assess the chances of entering the chosen university. However, you need to take into account several nuances:

  • Many universities do not pay attention to the average mark of the certificate as a whole, but to your results in specialized subjects. Also, universities often do not take into account non-academic subjects, such as singing.
  • The final decision of the admission committee is influenced by how you write a motivation letter, essay, pass interviews and other entrance tests.
  • Sometimes a low GPA can be compensated for with a portfolio, work experience, or extracurricular achievements. But, if you plan to enter a top university, you should not count on it.
  • You can take our advice and first enter a university with less stringent requirements, and then transfer.

  How to calculate the average score of the certificate and diploma when entering a foreign university?

  Calculate the average score ONLINE >>

  Very often, graduates of universities and schools need to calculate the average score of the received certificate. It may be required when entering a foreign university, when applying for a job. We will tell you what GPA is, how to calculate your GPA correctly, and whether credits need to be taken into account.

  What is GPA

  GPA is the average score of a diploma or certificate, a general indicator of the progress of a schoolchild or student. This abbreviation stands for grade point average. When filling out an application for preparatory programs, the first higher education and admission to a master’s program abroad, many universities require you to inform them of the applicant’s GPA. So, most US universities will require applicants to indicate the GPA. Read more about applying for a bachelor’s degree in the United States here, about how to enroll in a US master’s program – here.

  How to calculate the GPA

  When calculating the GPA, all grades indicated in the certificate or diploma are taken into account. These can be final grades: in subjects, for term papers and theses, for state exams. If you already have a document on education in your hands, you do not need to take into account any intermediate grades that you have in your school electronic journal or gradebook.

  The next point concerns only students: whether credits should be taken into account and, if so, how exactly they should be taken into account.

  If your university uses a 5-point knowledge assessment system plus “pass / fail”, calculate the average score of the diploma, students entering foreign universities can use one of two ways:

  1. “ Passes” are taken into account. “Pass” = 5 points, “fail” = 0 points. Diploma GPA = arithmetic mean of scores for all subjects in the insert, including “pass” and “fail”.
  2. “Passages” are not taken into account. Diploma GPA = arithmetic mean of all points received.

  The arithmetic mean of both school performance and diploma grades is calculated according to the formula:

  GPA = “sum of all grades received” divide “number of subjects”.

  GPA Calculation Example

  In this example, we show the calculation of the average score for students, but students calculate according to the same scheme. Since most schools do not take tests, this type of performance assessment is not included in the calculation.

  Undergraduate student in Organizational Management received the following grades:

  No.	Item name	Grade
  1	Philosophy	4 (Good)
  2	Sociology	4 (Good)
  3	Domestic history	Credit
  4	Jurisprudence	Credit
  5	English	5 (Excellent)
  6	Mathematics	5 (Excellent)
  7	Probability theory	Credit
  8	Mathematical statistics	4 (Good)
  9	Social informatics	5 (Excellent)
  10	Fundamentals of Management	5 (Excellent)
  11	Management history	Credit
  12	Economic theory	5 (Excellent)
  13	History of sociology	3 (Satisfied)
  14	Organization theory	4 (Excellent)
  Total	14 items	4 credits and 10 exams

  According to the formula above, the average score of the diploma will be:

  64/14 = 4. 64 with credits or

  44/10 = 4.4 – if credits are not taken into account.

  If the student does not have “failures”, the first calculation system raises the average score of the student’s diploma. Many universities do not determine the procedure for calculating the average score of a diploma, and the choice of calculation method is left to the applicant.

  How to find out the GPA if you have not completed your studies yet

  As a rule, admission to a foreign university begins in a year or a year and a half. If at this time the schoolboy or student is still continuing his studies, he can independently calculate the average score based on intermediate grades in order to assess his chances of admission. In this case, GPA calculations can be based on grades for:

  1. Only completed subjects for which final grades have already been set.

  2. All completed and most recent grades for items in progress.

  When sending an official application to a university, if a certificate or diploma has not yet been received, the applicant must provide a transcript – a letter with grades, in which the average score will be indicated by the university. In addition, the applicant must inform the university of the deadlines for submitting final grades.

  How to indicate GPA in an application for admission

  The rule for indicating GPA in an application for admission is simple: indicate not only the average score, but also tell the admission committee the maximum possible score on your program, since in different countries the maximum score can be 4, 5 or 10 points.

  For example: if your university/school has a 5-point grading system and your GPA is, say, 4.1, then you need to report “GPA 4.1 out of 5” in your application for admission.

  Enter your maximum GPA score

  When reporting your GPA, be sure to include the maximum possible GPA. In the example above, this would be “4.64 out of 5” or “4.4 out of 5” . The diploma of the first higher education or the transcript of the applicant will be attached to the application for admission, so the university will see all your grades in any case.

  GPA in educational systems of the world

  In the world university practice, several methods of calculating the average score are most common. So, in Britain, often, grades from the first courses are not taken into account, and in the USA and Europe, the average score is calculated taking into account the credit hours that the student scored (moreover, the weight of loans in America and Europe is different).

  In order to assess their chances of getting into a particular university, American and European students need to know their GPA and possibly transfer it to another educational system. To do this, they use special online calculators, but it is important to note that the result they receive when transferring to a foreign educational system is not official. Special organizations are engaged in the official transfer of GPA to other educational systems (for example, between Britain and the USA).

  How to calculate GPA – the average score of a diploma or certificate

  For admission to US universities, you must provide GPA (Graduate Point Average) and a transcript of grades. How to correctly calculate the average score of a diploma or certificate for the American GPA system, we will tell in this article.

  What is GPA

  Grade Point Average (GPA) – the average score of a diploma (if you are applying for a master’s or doctoral program) or school certificate (for admission to a bachelor’s degree). It shows the overall performance of the student. In the American grading system, the highest score is 4.0, in the Russian one – 5.0.

  Getting a GPA 4.0 in America is difficult. But it is not so difficult for students from Russia.

  In the US, information about the average score is required not only for admission to the university, but also for employment. Also, each university determines its requirements for the GPA of prospective students and sets a lower threshold for the average score. Therefore, it is worth checking the GPA for compliance with the requirements of a particular institution before filling out the Application Form.

  The average lower GPA threshold for universities in the US is 3.0-3.5, but higher than 4.0 for prestigious Ivy League universities.

  Brown University	4.08
  Dartmouth College’s	4.09
  Columbia University	4.12
  Harvard University	4.18
  University of Pennsylvania	3.9
  Princeton University The main difference between Weighted and Unweighted GPA lies in the way they are calculated: Unweighted GPA – is an average score in which the score for each subject has the same weight. Weighted GPA – is an average score that takes into account the difficulty and depth of the subjects that are graded. For example, if a student has “excellent” in the subjects “Introduction to Microeconomics”, “Introduction to Sociology” and “Introduction to Philosophy”, then his average score will be lower than that of a student who took a full course of a specialized subject, consisting from three parts: “Introduction to Microeconomics”, “Microeconomics (I level)”, “Microeconomics (II level)”. How to calculate GPA: calculator Use the calculator to calculate GPA. To do this, you will need a certificate / diploma with grades and names of subjects, as well as the number of credits / hours for them. The school certificate usually does not indicate the number of hours in the subject. This information can be found in the school curriculum. In the diploma, the hours are indicated on the insert with grades (diploma attachment) Go to the site and select your country in the drop-down menu, and then enter the data for each subject from the diploma / certificate in the table – subject name, number of hours and grade. Enter the subjects in English, and in the Grade column – marks according to the Russian system. When you have entered all the data, press the left button Calculate GPA. Your result will appear. The calculator will automatically convert the grades to the American system and calculate the average score. You don’t have to do any calculations. From you it is required to enter the data into the table correctly. How to calculate GPA yourself You can also calculate it yourself, for example, if you want to check the calculator data. To do this, follow our instructions. Grade for the subject Philosophy (4) multiplied by the number of hours (102) add the grade for National History (3) multiplied by the number of hours (189), we make the same calculations with the rest of the subjects. Step 3 . Calculate the total number of hours for all subjects: 102+189+151+200 = 642 Step 4. Divide the sum of marks including hours (1 828) by the total number of hours (642). 1828 ÷ 642 = 2.84 Total : Your GPA in four subjects is 2.84. Calculations are made with all subjects that have a grade in your diploma/certificate. When calculating GPA, credits and coursework are usually not taken into account. But check with the university what rules they use to calculate GPA: sometimes credits can be equated to an “excellent” grade, and if you do not specify them, then your GPA will be lower. How to enter an American university and move to the USA in two months, you will learn from the book “How to enter a US university in 2 months.” buy a book What to do if the GPA is low If you have already graduated from school/university, you will not be able to change the GPA of your certificate/diploma. However, in addition to the GPA, other factors also influence the success of entering a university: an essay, a motivation letter, recommendations, and the results of international exams: IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, GMAT. Do not lose hope and try to compensate for the low GPA with other achievements, work experience and brilliantly passed entrance exams.

For admission to the undergraduate program, you must provide information for grades 9-11. For admission to the master’s program, the transcript must contain information about the subjects taken as part of the bachelor’s program. The official transcript for the certificate can be obtained from the school administration. If you have not yet graduated from school/university , you can make a preliminary transcript of grades. To do this, you need: Schoolchildren: write down the final grades received for 9–11th grade and count the number of hours in each subject. Students: make an independent transcript according to the information from the record book. The transcript must be translated into English and notarized . The translation must be accompanied by an explanatory note , which contains information about the grading system in your country. Seal the transcript and the explanatory note in an envelope, put the stamp of the university and ask the dean of the faculty or the director of the school to sign. On the envelope, you must indicate the return address of the educational institution, as if the letter was sent from there.

Is it possible to get some other medal? For all Russian graduates, the conditions for obtaining gold medals in 2021 are the same, however, in a number of regions there are special incentives for excellent students and even good students. In some regions, for example, in Tomsk or Magadans in some areas, there was also a silver medal at school. The conditions for obtaining in 2021 are no more than two fours in the certificate of secondary general education for grade 11, the rest must be fives.

It is awarded to a student who excels in one of three criteria: A graduate who has shown outstanding results will receive such an award, even if he has fours in his certificate. Outwardly, the Moscow and St. Petersburg medals are very similar to the federal ones. They are awarded in a blue box instead of a red one. How to get a gold medal? Conditions for obtaining in 2021 “For special achievements in teaching” – this is the official name of the school gold medal today. The conditions for receiving in 2021 have not changed. They were approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation back in 2014. According to the law, a gold medal is given to a graduate only if he received a red certificate, that is, a document with fives in all subjects for grades 10 and 11, and at the same time he was certified for the Unified State Examination as “excellent” ( not less than 70 points for each compulsory subject). What are the benefits of a gold medal Previously, a medal allowed a graduate to enter any Russian university, having passed the first entrance test with “excellent”. But gradually the privileges were reduced. In 2009year they were canceled altogether. Today, a gold medal gives only additional points to the amount received on the basis of passing the USE or entrance examinations.

In addition, some private institutions still accept medalists without entrance exams. How many points universities award for a gold medal Universities decide for themselves what “bonus” to give for a gold medal. The maximum amount you can get in addition is 10 points. True, for their accrual, you need to present not the insignia itself, but a red certificate. https://ria.ru/20201021/medal-1580798562.html https://ria.ru/20201103/otsenki-1582726436.html St. Petersburg Moscow Russia RIA Novost 1 5 4.7 9000 [email protected] 7 495 645-6601 FSUE MIA Today “ https: //xn--c1acbl2abdlkab1og. xn-p1ai /awards/ 2021 RIA Novosti 1 5 4.7 9000 [email protected] 7 495 645-6601 FSUE MIA today https: //xn--c1acbl2abdlkab1og.xn-p1ai /awards/ News ru-RU https://ria.ru/docs/about/copyright.html https://xn--c1acbl2abdlkab1og.xn--p1ai/ RIA Novosti 1 5 4.7 96 [email protected] 96 [email protected] 7 495 645-6601 Rossiya Segodnya https://xn--c1acbl2abdlkab1og.xn--p1ai/awards/ 1 5 4.7 9000 [email protected] 7 495 645-6601 FSUE MIA Today “ https: //xn--c1acbl2abdlkab1og.xn-p1ai /awards/ society, education – society, st. petersburg, moscow, russia, sn_education, social navigator Society, Education – Society, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Russia, SN_Education, Social Navigator MOSCOW, January 25 – RIA Novosti.

At her previous school she cried most of the day for all 2 months and the center would often call me to pick her up early. The teachers at Kids Depot quickly attended to her and made her feel welcomed. After only 2 weeks she was well adjusted and asking for “school mommy school.” Seeing her excitement and love for the teachers made me feel like Kids Depot was the PERFECT choice for my baby girl.

Apache2 Debian Default Page: It works Apache2 Debian Default Page This is the default welcome page used to test the correct operation of the Apache2 server after installation on Debian systems. If you can read this page, it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this site is working properly. You should replace this file (located at /var/www/html/index.html) before continuing to operate your HTTP server. If you are a normal user of this web site and don’t know what this page is about, this probably means that the site is currently unavailable due to maintenance. If the problem persists, please contact the site’s administrator. Debian’s Apache2 default configuration is different from the upstream default configuration, and split into several files optimized for interaction with Debian tools. The configuration system is fully documented in /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz. Refer to this for the full documentation. Documentation for the web server itself can be found by accessing the manual if the apache2-doc package was installed on this server. The configuration layout for an Apache2 web server installation on Debian systems is as follows: /etc/apache2/ |-- apache2.conf | `-- ports.conf |-- mods-enabled | |-- *.load | `-- *.conf |-- conf-enabled | `-- *.conf |-- sites-enabled | `-- *.conf apache2.conf is the main configuration file. It puts the pieces together by including all remaining configuration files when starting up the web server. ports. conf is always included from the main configuration file. It is used to determine the listening ports for incoming connections, and this file can be customized anytime. Configuration files in the mods-enabled/, conf-enabled/ and sites-enabled/ directories contain particular configuration snippets which manage modules, global configuration fragments, or virtual host configurations, respectively. They are activated by symlinking available configuration files from their respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be managed by using our helpers a2enmod, a2dismod, a2ensite, a2dissite, and a2enconf, a2disconf . See their respective man pages for detailed information. The binary is called apache2. Due to the use of environment variables, in the default configuration, apache2 needs to be started/stopped with /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 directly will not work with the default configuration. By default, Debian does not allow access through the web browser to any file apart of those located in /var/www, public_html directories (when enabled) and /usr/share (for web applications). If your site is using a web document root located elsewhere (such as in /srv) you may need to whitelist your document root directory in /etc/apache2/apache2. conf. The default Debian document root is /var/www/html. You can make your own virtual hosts under /var/www. This is different to previous releases which provides better security out of the box. Please use the reportbug tool to report bugs in the Apache2 package with Debian. However, check existing bug reports before reporting a new bug. Please report bugs specific to modules (such as PHP and others) to respective packages, not to the web server itself.

Our classrooms are places to thrive!  In our safe and healthy classrooms, your child will be engaged in learning experiences that meet them where they are, both socially and academically.

Contact the center director to learn more about our child care options and schedule a tour!  Northdale KinderCare Programs Our Teachers Family Stories FAQs AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED We’re so proud! Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference, and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why. SCHOOL-READY What Learning Looks Like Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment. Northdale KinderCare Programs Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year) Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and ready to explore their world. Toddler Programs (1–2 Years) Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn. Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years) This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them get used to a more structured school setting. Preschool Programs (3–4 Years) This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step: kindergarten! Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years) When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language, math, science, Spanish, and social skills. Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years) You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun! School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age) Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused on fun.

Visit Website Back to Providers Frequently Asked Questions Q: How much do preschool teachers make? A: As of 2021, the average hourly wage for preschool teachers is $12. 60. Preschool teachers with higher levels of education typically earn more than the national average. In 2018, top preschool teaching positions paid a median annual income of about $30,000. Q: How long does it take to become a preschool teacher? A: The time needed to be eligible for a teaching job at a preschool depends on the educational requirements. An associate degree takes two years and a bachelor’s degree is typically a four-year commitment. But in states that only require early childhood education certification with a high school diploma, preschool teachers may complete the ECE course in as little as six weeks.  Q: Do you need a degree to be a preschool teacher? A: Some states require a college degree for preschool teaching positions, while others accept a high school diploma and early child education certification. To work for the Head Start program, aspiring teachers must earn at least an associate’s degree, and many positions in the federally funded program require a bachelor’s degree in an education field.

Shanoah Washington-Davis didn’t know the little boy she was caring for had tested positive for COVID-19 until she started feeling sick. The longtime licensed child care provider was forced to temporarily shut down her Largo home business in April. She ended up in an intensive care unit, on a ventilator, as she fought the virus. When she was released weeks later, many of the children she cared for had transferred to other providers. Washington-Davis said she understands why the boy’s family hadn’t said anything. The child was asymptomatic, and his mother was desperate to keep working as a nurse. Still, the 28-year-old caregiver said she and other providers are often having to make difficult decisions amid the pandemic. “The world does not function without child care providers,” Washington-Davis said. “But I’ll tell you, we are in a crisis. The crisis of our life.” The nation’s private child care industry was already struggling with high turnover and tight margins before the pandemic. Now, it is dealing with staffing shortages, constant disruptions from coronavirus quarantines and threats to workers’ health from the virus. Worsening issues have meant even fewer open seats and continued uncertainty for parents searching for care. “We are seeing less access,” said Lindsay Carson, CEO of the Early Learning Coalition of Pinellas County. She said she’s heard stories of desperate parents having to drive across town to find an available child care spot. Carson and others say the industry’s woes could have a profound economic impact by keeping parents from going back to work. Data provided by licensing agencies in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties shows that the total number of child care facilities has not changed much during the pandemic. That may be in part thanks to federal grants and other aid aimed at propping up child care providers during this tumultuous time, experts say. But Carson said the number of providers who say they are on the verge of insolvency is on the rise. One of the biggest problems, she said, is finding enough workers. Michelle Butts, St. Pete College intern, left, talks with Rashaan Stone Jr., as they work through an exercise during a preschool class at the Lew Williams Center for Early Learning, 901 34th St. S, on Tuesday, Oct. 5, 2021 in St. Petersburg. In background in center, assistant teacher Charisse Gahagan works with students. The nation’s private child care industry, already struggling before the pandemic, is being pushed into an even more precarious position as providers deal with staffing shortages and constant disruptions from coronavirus quarantines. R’Club Child Care has raised employee wages and offered referral bonuses. But there are still times that classrooms have to be kept closed due to insufficient staffing. [ DIRK SHADD | Times ] Like employers in other service industries, child care providers say they’re having trouble recruiting employees to lower-wage jobs that require face-to-face interaction, in this case with unvaccinated children. Nationally, the median wage for child care workers is a little more than $12 an hour, according to 2020 data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Explore all your options Hillsborough’s Early Learning Coalition estimated that its providers are seeing about a 10 percent shortage compared to normal staffing levels. Citrus Park Day School in Tampa has a waiting list of more than 100 children, and two empty classrooms sitting ready, said Surely Moreno, director and co-owner. The problem is finding enough workers to staff them. “Parents are calling, requesting tours. Everybody is going back to work,” Moreno said. But she has to turn them away, though she could sorely use the income. “I’ve never had a problem before with not being able to staff.” Many job applicants have never worked with children, she said, and are still asking for more than the $12 an hour she can offer. Workers could make more at Walmart and Wawa, but raising pay would likely mean raising tuition, something she worries her families can ill-afford. “As an owner, I’m not making money at all,” Moreno said, noting that her costs for things like a gallon of milk or cleaning supplies have risen during the pandemic. Deb Ballinger, executive director of R’Club Child Care Inc. in Pinellas County, said her organization has raised its starting hourly rate by 50 cents to $11 and has offered referral bonuses to staff and parents. It’s advertised job openings on billboards and buses. Still, she said, there have been times lately that she’s had to keep a classroom closed due to staffing. A September survey of providers that work with the Early Learning Coalition of Pinellas County found that 52 percent reported having waiting lists of children due to staffing scarcity. Sixteen percent of those surveyed reported being at risk of insolvency or closure because of inadequate staffing. Carson said she’s heard of facilities that have closed infant rooms amid staffing shortages to move workers to the sometimes more profitable 4-year-old rooms. Families of the youngest children, infants through age 2, already are the most likely to be on waiting lists for care, she said.

[ DIRK SHADD | Times ] Meanwhile, coronavirus cases among children and staff and the resulting quarantines continue to plague the industry. Between June 2020 and mid-September, Hillsborough County recorded about 2,200 coronavirus cases in child care facilities, said Lisa Bragano, the manager for child care licensing. That’s likely an undercount, because the county relies on providers to self-report. Unlike public school funding, Carson noted, which is relatively static even when students are not in class, private child care providers may lose crucial tuition when they have to shut down a classroom due to COVID-19. As they do in K-12 schools, those quarantines also place stress on parents, particularly those without the flexibility to work from home. Imagination Station Preschool in St. Petersburg has had six coronavirus cases among children so far, said owner Jackie Lang. She counts herself lucky that she’s had to do classroom quarantines only twice in this most recent wave of infections. “It’s been an emotional roller coaster for us,” Lang said. She and other providers described frustration with conflicting or little guidance from the health department and other agencies on how to handle quarantines and how to find out when families at their facilities test positive. Worries about the virus and possible quarantines put workers like Catina Bell on edge. “We’re at risk every day as well as the kids,” said Bell, who has worked at Imagination Station for three years and been in the business for two decades. Bell said her employer can’t afford to pay her if she has to leave work and be quarantined. “We don’t know from day to day if we’re going to have a job, if the school will close. The anxiety really kicks in,” Bell said. “We just put our best foot forward and go for it.” The preschool has instituted a two-week waiting period for prospective families wanting to enroll. It’s a deterrent, Lang said, to keep parents whose kids have been sent home to quarantine from bringing them to her center instead. She recently had a grandparent drop off a child whose mother and brother had tested positive for the coronavirus. The family was stressed, telling Lang they didn’t know what to do when she called to tell them the child couldn’t stay and had to be quarantined. Lang understands the desperation parents feel. But she needs to protect those in her facility, too, even if it means a loss in needed revenue. “We’re overwhelmed at this point with decisions that have to be made,” Lang said. Child care is already an expensive proposition for many families, making it all the more difficult for providers to raise tuition rates to better pay their workers or cover pandemic-related costs. Nationally, more than 60 percent of families are paying a higher percentage of their income toward child care than what is considered affordable, according to a recent report from the U. S. Treasury Department. In Hillsborough County, 37 percent of families with children are living below 200 percent of the federal poverty level, noted Gordon L. Gillette, CEO of the Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County. That means, he said, that a large proportion of families are struggling to pay for rent, electric bills and child care. “I think that in the best of times, child care is a business that runs on very narrow margins,” Gillette said. “When you have a crisis like this, it’s even more challenging.” Ballinger, of R’Club, said the pandemic has at least raised awareness of the value of child care for families and the economy. “Child care providers are really essential care workers,” Ballinger said. “They are there to help families and our community get back to work and recover.” Shanoah Washington-Davis, 28, holds 8 week-old Alexis Lezama as Washington-Davis works with her students at her home Tuesday, Oct. 5, 2021 in Largo. [ CHRIS URSO | Times ] Washington-Davis said her business was closed for more than a month after she got sick. After she left the hospital, she was on an oxygen tank for a while, leaving her husband — who also had the virus but fared better — to largely care for the remaining children. Before the pandemic, her home child care facility was always at capacity with 12 children, plus a waiting list. At the beginning of the pandemic, she dropped down to about three kids and was driving for Uber Eats after hours to make ends meet. These days, she cares for eight children, she said. She’d love to get back up to 12 but is worried about protecting the safety of the little ones in her care. “I don’t know how long I can stay at eight,” she said. “But God has taken care of us every step of the way. I have to say that it’s just going to work itself out.” Creative World Cross Creek/ New Tampa, FL Creative World School at Cross Creek our school parents as partners faq Welcome to Our Preschool at Cross Creek!

Armwood is also known as Tampa’s first executive secretary. Urban League and as the founder of five home art schools for African American women in five different states. Armwood High School in Seffner, Florida is named after her. [1] [2] Contents 1 early years 2 careers and activism 3 Death 4 Recommendations early years Blanche Armwood was born on January 23, 1890 in Tampa, Florida, in the family of Levin Armwood Jr. and Margaret Holloman. She was born into a prominent middle-class family and was the youngest of five children. Her mother was an accomplished dressmaker and her father was Tampa’s first black police officer in the late 1870s and county deputy sheriff in 1895. [3] He was also a county road inspector and Mt. Zion School. [4] [5] Her father and her brother Walter owned the only black-owned pharmacy in Tampa called Gem. [1] Walter Armwood was also a Bethune-Cookman University professor and State Supervisor for the US Bureau of the Negro Economy. Blanche Armwood’s father and grandfather, Levin Armwood Sr., were both born into slavery in Georgia and North Carolina, respectively. The family moved to Hillsborough County in 1866 when Levine Jr. was eleven years old. [3] Her great uncle, John Armwood, was an early landowner who occupied 159 acres in Hillsborough County and acted as an intermediary between Seminole Native Americans and white settlers along the Florida border. [1] Her maternal grandfather, Adam Holloman, was a freeman who spent his entire life in the Tampa area. [3] He owned citrus groves and was Hillsborough County Commissioner from 1873 to 1877. [2] Blanche Armwood’s parents, unable to complete her formal education, sent her to a private school, St. Peter Claver Catholic School. [3] She graduated with honors in 1902. That same year, at the age of twelve, Armwood passed the State Unified Pedagogical Examination. Because Tampa did not have a high school for black students, she attended Spelman Seminary (later Spelman College) in Atlanta, Georgia. She excelled in English and Latin courses. At 1906, at the age of sixteen, graduated with honors from Spelman School with a teaching certificate. Career and Activism Armwood returned to Tampa where she began teaching at Hillsborough County Public Schools where she will remain for the next seven years. In 1913, Armwood put her teaching career on hold when she married attorney Daniel Webster Perkins and moved to Knoxville, Tennessee. The next year the marriage was annulled and Armwood returned to Tampa. [1] Armwood’s service to the community began in 1914 when the Tampa Gas Company, in conjunction with the Hillsborough County Board of Education and the Alliance of Colored Ministers, commissioned it to establish an industrial arts school designed to educate black women in home science. [2] Out of this union was the Tampa School of Home Art, which was founded around 1915. The school taught black women and girls how to use modern gas appliances and other skills that would enable students to excel at homework. [2] More than 200 women received graduation certificates in the first year of the school’s operation. Armwood would later open similar schools in Roanoke, Virginia; Rock Hill, South Carolina; Athens, Georgia and New Orleans, Louisiana. While living in New Orleans between 1917 and 1920. Married to dentist John C. Beatty, Armwood received state and federal recognition for her work in training domestic workers. In 1918 she published Food Preservation at Home is a cookbook that has been popular with women of all races. A cookbook published in World War I had a particularly poignant introduction, stating that: “Every pound of white flour saved is equal to a bullet in the defense of our nation.” In 1922, Jesse Thomas of the National Urban League appointed Armwood as the first executive secretary of the Tampa Urban League. [6] Under her leadership, the Tampa Urban League created a community playground, preschool, and preschool for black children and played a significant role in developing a division that offered decent and affordable housing to blacks. [7] Throughout her league career, she served as an assistant director in Tampa. Harlem Academy School. Armwood was appointed as the first superintendent of black schools by the Hillsborough District School Board. [2] During her tenure, 1926-1934, [5] she was instrumental in helping the school board create five new school buildings, improve old schools, provide a vocational school for black students, raise wages black teachers, organizing parent-teacher associations in every school, and extending the school year for black students from six to nine months. [8] She is also credited with founding the 1925 Booker T. Washington School. [9] Originally a junior high school, the first for black students in Tampa, was quickly expanded to include black high school students, another first school. [10] and was the first accredited school for black students in the district. [7] In addition to her leadership positions in Tampa, Armwood has held positions in several national organizations, including chair of the National Association of Colored Women’s Home Economics Department, National Campaign Speaker for the Republican Party, and state organizer for the Louisiana chapter of the NAACP. She has frequently spoken at national and international lectures on voting rights and racial inequality. [7] Armwood was involved in suffrage and anti-lynching crusades. [3] She worked closely with an anti-lynching lawyer. Mary McLeod Bethune, including helping raise funds and other resources for Bethune-Cookman College and other black schools. She was a close friend of Clara Fry, a black nurse who provided the first black health care in Tampa. Armwood raised funds for Fry and helped create the first licensed black nurse training program and one of the first black blood banks in Florida. [7] Her keen interest in politics and equal rights for blacks and women led her to pursue a career in law. In 1934, Armwood entered Howard Law School. She received her doctorate in law in 1938, becoming the first black woman from the state of Florida to graduate from an accredited law school. [2] [6] Death During a conversation in Medford, Massachusetts, Armwood fell ill and died unexpectedly on October 16, 1939 years old She is buried in her family’s plot at L’Unione Italiana Cemetery in Tampa, land purchased from the Armwood family by the Italian Club. [11] In 1984, Congressman Michael Bilirakis and the Florida House of Representatives paid tribute to Armwood’s legacy. That same year, Blanche Armwood High School, known today as Armwood High School, was opened in Tampa in her honor. [2] Armwood is also memorialized in the Booker T.

Kucherov’s miracle pass brought victory to Tampa 4 seconds before the end of the match 05/20/2022 to bookmarks #Hockey The Russian team took a 2-0 lead in the series. Tampa Bay beat Florida Flames 2-1 for the second time in a row tonight in the second round of the Stanley Cup with 4 seconds left in regulation. Made it Nikita Kucherov , who gave a chic pass to his partner and created beauty for the second match in a row. Kucherov moved the puck back to Ross Colton, and the American threw Sergey Bobrovsky into the upper left corner of the goal. For Kucherov, this transfer was the 11th (3 + 8) point in the playoffs – just like last season, he continues to drag his team to win the Cup. “When you are on the ice with Kuch, be ready for anything. He has eyes in the back of his head and I didn’t even know that he sees me at the goal, ”Colton said after the match. The Russian striker often makes such amazing passes. In the first match, he beat Aaron Ekblad with an incredible fake move, lured Bobrovsky out of the goal and gave the pass to an empty net. “This is a world class game! A hell of a game, ”Kucherov’s partner Corey Perry admired after the game. “It was easy. What we’ve always said about Kucha is that he knows what his opponent is going to do before the opponent does. He made this game easy,” said the head coach of “Tampa” John Cooper . Nikita Kucherov / photo: Dirk Shadd/ZUMAPRESS.com, globalookpress At the end of October, Kucherov suffered a groin injury, due to which he missed almost three months. He spent only half of the regular season, but this does not prevent him from remaining the best and continuing to demonstrate his level. At the same time, we should not forget about other Russian players who shine in this round. Andrei Vasilevsky and Bobrovsky are among the top three players today – the first was recognized as the third star of the match, despite the defeat, and Andrei – the second. Bobrovsky repelled 26 shots and 4 minutes before the end of normal time “stole” a goal from Ondreja Palat , who clicked on the empty gates. Vasilevsky, on the other hand, saved 35 shots out of 36 and won his sixth match in this playoff. Bobrovsky is nervous before the next game: “We must make a difference in the future, not in the past. Throughout the season, we fought hard for where we are now. The upcoming game will be another test for our team,” said the goalkeeper. With Kucherov’s skill, it is hard to predict what he will be able to do, and now you will definitely not envy Florida. Although they are quoted higher by bookmakers. In today’s match, due to the injury of forward Braden Point , the Tampa coaching staff had to release 11 forwards and 7 defensemen for the game. Although usually there are 12 forwards in the application, in the NHL they play in three pairs of defenders. Stanley Cup.

America from the back door Road to Tampa From Miami, our path lies on Tampa – a city located on the western coast of the Florida peninsula. You can also get there by rail, but we choose the bus. We are attracted by the fact that the bus driver, taking into account the requests of tourists, makes stops at several interesting points. We start early in the morning, cross Miami from east to west, and finally pass the outskirts. Now along the road there are only rare farm plots. Soon they disappear from view. The bus rushes through a completely deserted area. It becomes obvious that man here has won back from nature as yet only a narrow border of land on the ocean coast. We’re on the Tamamiami Trail, the 400-kilometer highway that links Tampa to Miami. It’s quite modern, though not a first-class highway. Its construction took an extremely long time. It began in 1916, but only eleven years later the tract was opened, and even then not along its entire length. It had to be laid through dead wetlands, and the firms that took the construction contract cared least of all about creating a more or less normal environment for work. The construction parties had to fight not only with the insidious unsteady soil, which required more and more masses of solid ground, but also with living enemies in the form of poisonous snakes and alligators, which teem with swamps adjacent to the road, and with the most terrible of enemies – the malarial mosquito . The fever ravaged the ranks of the road workers, driving them to their graves in droves. It is not surprising that the rest of the workers, unable to withstand the terrible working conditions, for which they, moreover, received a pittance, fled at the first opportunity. As a result, one contract after another failed. Predatory construction methods have resulted in the Tamamiami Trail being considered, by cost, the most expensive highway in the United States. On both sides of the tract, massifs of swamps overgrown with grasses and small shrubs stretch to the horizon. In places, small groups of trees rise in huge tussocks above the endless marsh plain, huddled on a patch of solid soil. These gigantic wetlands that take up a good half of Florida are called the Everglades. At the request of passengers, the driver stops the bus in the middle of these bleak swamps. Immediately, discordant flocks of birds rise into the air from everywhere. The driver takes on the role of a guide and explains. According to him, in these swamps, in addition to a myriad of birds, crocodiles, poisonous snakes and all other evil spirits still live. Among the reptiles there are many large rattlesnakes. Often they crawl out to bask on the road. Then the drivers practice in., a special sport, which consists in, without slowing down, crushing with wheels a harmful beast, reaching nine feet in size. Listening to the talkative driver, I remember that thousands of square kilometers of the Everglades have long been planned to be turned into a state reserve or, as they say in the USA, into a national park. The fauna and flora, typical of Florida’s untouched areas, is of exceptional scientific interest. However, the project, put forward by leading US scientists, is met with fierce resistance from the state authorities, acting, of course, at the behest of local businessmen. The latter see no direct benefit for themselves in this project and look to the Everglades as a possible source of future speculative profits. This is one of the most striking examples of how science in America, if it does not directly benefit business, inevitably clashes with it and, as a rule, fails. The driver briefly names among the birds found in these parts the crane, the pink flamingo and the ferocious predator – the bald eagle, which takes prey from small predators that have caught it. A passenger standing next to me mutters under his breath: – Isn’t that why we chose this bird as our national emblem? We make our next stop at a tiny Seminole settlement near the tract. The life of this village is even more primitive than what we saw in Miami: its inhabitants, apparently, do not derive much benefit from tourists. Here the same pattern of begging is repeated as in Miami. Mr. Wilkins, the passenger who made a sarcastic remark about the US national emblem, turns out to be a professor at the University of Tampa. His views are perhaps too radical for his position. He knows well the history of the colonization of the southern states. I discover this when I ask him a few questions about how the relationship between the Indians and the American authorities developed in Florida. “Oh, that’s quite a dirty and bloody story,” Mr. Wilkins replies. – But, on the other hand, where in America was colonization not dirty and bloody? He says the Seminoles are not Florida natives. They are the descendants of the Creeks, the Indian tribes of the state of Georgia, most of whom fled to the southern forests and swamps from the oppression of the American colonialists in the middle of the 18th century. Then the peninsula was still under the rule of the Spaniards, who did not show much interest in it. Therefore, for the time being, the Seminoles felt at ease there. However, at the beginning of the 19th century, Florida passed into the hands of the Yankees. This immediately led to a fierce struggle in which the Seminoles stubbornly resisted and, rightly distrusting the American authorities, for a long time rejected all their peace proposals. “The peacefulness of the US military authorities was just a ploy,” says Mr. Wilkins. “In 1838, Seminole chief Ossola, along with other chiefs, finally arrived at Fort Marion with a white flag. The Americans treacherously captured them and imprisoned them in a casemate, where Ossola died at the age of thirty-four. After this, the Seminole refused to continue negotiations for peace. Legally, they are still “at war” with the United States. This is, of course, a curious incident for specialists in international law. But its practical significance is clearly determined by the fact that in the whole state of Florida there are now less than a thousand Seminoles, including here those Indians who hunt for tourists. This is all that remains of the once numerous tribe, numbering several tens of thousands of people. In the last quarter of the 19th century, an all-Indian reservation was established in Oklahoma, and the Seminoles were ordered to leave the wilds of the Florida swamps in order to settle in the hot and arid desert. Many of them have abandoned this prospect. However, the US government still managed to achieve the resettlement of twelve thousand Indians. It was so “organized” that over four thousand people died on the way and during their stay in the camps. The rest of the government provided the opportunity to slowly die out in the unusual conditions for them in Oklahoma. “If you,” Mr. Wilkins concludes, “are interested in knowing what the Indians think of Americans, remember their most famous saying: “No one lies like an American.” Not very flattering, is it? When we passed the Indian village, thickets of forest began to appear along the road, and the swamps gradually began to recede deeper. But the trees were withered, without a single leaf. They were only the skeletons of trees, strangled tenaciously wrapped around them with parasites – lianas. By noon, the bus enters the first town on the western coast of the peninsula, slightly away from the Tamamiami Trail. The town is called the Everglades. This neat place, immersed in palm groves, looks very modest compared to Miami. At one time, it began to flourish, but the competition of Miami and other large resort centers suppresses the Everglades with almost the same force as creeper parasites strangle the swamp forest. “It’s annoying,” says the teacher. – In the Everglades, the climate is no worse than, say, in Miami, since it is located on the shores of the warm Gulf of Mexico. In addition, it could be a cheaper resort, because there is no need to build artificial islands here. There is already a whole archipelago here. See for yourself! From the embankment where we are standing, it is a stone’s throw to islands densely covered with green vegetation. Their improvement would probably cost a relatively small amount. There are so many islands here that they are collectively called “Ten Thousand Islands”. It is easy to get lost in their intricate labyrinth without a guide. But it is the cheapness of the new resort that makes the resort bosses from the east coast slow down the development of the Everglades. Speculators are afraid that tourists, in pursuit of economy, will head to these modest but attractive regions. The bus enters the Tamamiami Trail again. The route now goes generally to the north, parallel to the coast, in accordance with its outlines. To the right of the road, swamps still stretch for some time, but then they retreat into the depths of the peninsula and are replaced by meadows and forests. Increasingly, farms and small towns are beginning to come across that sell fruits, fruit juices, and handicrafts made from porcelain and shells. As you move north, the area becomes more and more populated, and outside the city of Fort Myers, having crossed the bridge over the river with the Indian name Calusahacchi, the bus honks almost continuously warning horns. We finally reach Sarasota, the capital of the uncrowned circus king, the late John Ringling. Here is the main headquarters of the Ringling circus enterprises and the museum of fine arts, built by its founder on his colossal income. In Sarasota, we leave the bus, as we intend to spend the night here. The next day we will take another bus to Tampa. At the street intersection near which the hotel stands, our attention is drawn to a road sign. This is no ordinary sign that can be seen on every American road and with which you can find out the distance to the nearest settlement, dro is a special sign that informs about the location of Sarasota, if not in the entire universe, then at least on the globe. Arrows pointing in different directions indicate the distance to many cities in Florida and the United States in general, and then to some foreign cities. The top of “originality” are two arrows, which are marked: To the North Pole – 4333.4 miles To the South Pole – 8096. 1 miles I still don’t understand what it is: the attempts of wits from the municipality or the result of the immoderate patriotic fervor of the Sarasota people? In any case, the case here could hardly have done without the circus headquarters with its staff of professional wits. Unlike most other cities in Florida, Sarasota is a relatively old city. It was founded under the Spaniards, and it is still dominated by the Spanish population. In little Sarasota, there are beautiful palm parks, on the lawns of which flowers of bright colors are planted. Well-maintained beaches stretch along the bay. There are many other attractive places in the city, which the generous southern nature has endowed these lands with. But we stopped here not for the beauty of nature. We are interested in the Museum of Fine Arts, formerly the private collection of John Ringling, and after his death passed into the hands of the state authorities. At first glance, Ringling’s gift to the state is very generous, for the museum and the treasures it contains are valued at many millions of dollars. But generosity and disinterestedness have nothing to do with it. Such “generous donations” are nothing more than one way to evade progressive income taxation rate. At the same time, they reserve the right to use the benefits acquired for the “donated” amount for life. If the corresponding amounts were not bequeathed to the state or the state, they would still have to go to the treasury in the form of taxes. The Ringling Museum, built in the Renaissance style, contains one of the largest collections of works by old masters of the Flemish, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and French schools after the Louvre in Paris, dating back to XIII centuries. Large canvases by Rubens, Rembrandt, Titian, Van Dyck, Greco and Murillo are placed in a suite of rooms specially equipped for the museum. In the spacious courtyard, formed by the premises of the art gallery, there are sculptural groups – originals or reproductions of the well-known masterpieces of ancient sculpture. It also exhibits wonderful works of decorative art, such as the famous Turtle Fountain brought from Rome, marble vases and bowls, hanging bronze lanterns. Beautiful colonnades and many other wonderful pieces of art have been brought here from Italian palazzos. Admiring these magnificent exhibits, imported for dollars from Europe, one cannot help but think of the skinny works of American art of the th and 20th centuries that are in the museums of Washington and New York, and the flat trickery of modern Formalists. On the other hand, it is impossible not to think about how the notorious “60 families”, satisfying their vanity, plunder the treasuries of Western European art. After all, this beautiful museum, before becoming available to the public, was in the sole use of the Ringling spouses for twenty-five years. And now only a handful of rich Americans can see all these masterpieces of great masters. The next morning we continue to Tampa. On the way, we come across citrus plantations, on bright greenery, which stand out with large yellow and orange fruits. Citrus fruits are the main branch of agriculture in Florida. Many plantations are littered with rotting oranges and grapefruits. This season’s citrus harvest is too good. In America, this is considered a disaster, because prices are falling and there is no calculation to bear the costs of harvesting, packing and transporting fruits – it is better to let them rot on the spot. Along with large plantations, there are also small farming plots. The unprepossessing houses of small farmers speak eloquently of the fact that their feeble farms do not bring much income in this land of fertility and abundance. Tampa is the third largest city in Florida with over 100,000 residents. It is an industrial city with a significant Spanish population. There is a university in Tampa that has lately become infamous for the cannibalistic speech of its rector, Professor Nance, who envied the Herostratus laurels of other warmongers. “I think,” he said, “that we should make total preparations based on the law of the jungle. Everyone must learn the art of killing. I do not think that war should be limited to the actions of armies, navies and air forces, or that there should be any restrictions on the methods or weapons of destruction. I would approve bacteriological warfare, the use of gases, atomic and hydrogen bombs and intercontinental missiles. I would not ask for merciful treatment of hospitals, churches, educational institutions, or any groups of the population … Sightseeing of the city, unfortunately, is limited to a short time left before the departure of the train. We are not able to get to the neighboring city of St. Petersburg, which lies on the other side of the bay, founded by immigrants from tsarist Russia. We have time, however, to pass through the center of 1 ampa and through its Spanish suburb of Iborcity with narrow dirty streets. Time is running out. We hurry to the station. At its main entrance, a large inscription flaunts: “Only for whites.” Segregation law is being steadily enforced in Florida as well. The train pulls out and we take one last look at Tampa. We leave Florida territory in a few hours. Behind is a huge peninsula with its rich and fertile nature, which, it would seem, opens up such brilliant opportunities for a person. But in a world dominated by the wolf laws of capitalist competition, these possibilities remain sealed. On the way! Let’s hit the road! The uprising … we no longer know where it can begin. Sixty years of reconciliation, respite from historical turmoil, sixty years of democratic anesthesia and event management[43] have all dulled our ability to sharply sense reality, the one on whose OUR WAY OUR WAY Each of us went to victories Steep path, blowing up the steep, And if it was good That’s what we wanted to do better.

She captured me to such an extent that I could not tear myself away from her. Read all night. She captured me not by the depth, clarity and consistency of thought, which was not in her at all, but by qualities that were directly opposite. At Russian way and way of Russia The Russian way and the way of Russia Russian way The expression “Russian way” is ambiguous. In one sense, it is a sociological concept denoting the original creative contribution of Russia and the Russian people to the social evolution of mankind. Such a contribution was made in Path Path On January 1, 1943, the German newspaper Angrif wrote: “The greatness of our victories can be seen in the travel agency.

Tour of the USA. 50 states per year. Miami, Key West and Tampa in Florida. For the thirty-second week we drove from the northern part of sunny Florida to the south, through Tampa and Key West to Miami. Marveling at the provinciality and dullness of the capital Talahassi, we descend further south to a real Florida resort in the face of Tampa. Alas, the city itself does not even smell like a bright tropical resort. 2. On the serene Hillsborough River, against the backdrop of the unique view of the university, a leisurely taxi runs, and boats and yachts agitate the already muddy water. 3. The city is deserted, wide, glassy and concrete. Employees run across the city space along the transition between buildings, it is so unpleasant for them to go out into the street. 4. For the sake of decency in Tampa, public gardens and a crooked pedestrian street were laid out. But pedestrians, not having the majority on their side, are in no hurry to meddle in the territory of tramps and beggars, who are always waiting for something on the steps of the homeless shelter. And scaring pretty girls from time to time with their clumsy compliments. 5. Five-lane roads in the old city center do not create a feeling of comfort for the passer-by. From these streets, you want to either go indoors, or get in a car and leave. 6. But you can walk along the river, but not on a summer day: even in June, the average temperature here has already risen to 32 degrees. 7. Tampa also has its own mini-New Orleans in the Iber area. One and a half streets, but still. Locals come here to relax and make noise for the weekend. 8. Founded by Cuban and Spanish cigar makers, the area is still struggling to live up to its calling. Sometimes awkward, really. But trams. 9. Overhyped Cuban sandwiches were served in a much-praised Cuban bar-restaurant. In principle, the cool air and cold beer were already worth it. 10. Unfortunately, such buildings that “well, do it beautifully!” Not much in the historic area. 11. As is often the case, the city sells the tile to everyone for the opportunity to write something on it. Everything is written here, from dates of birth and death and marriage proposals to an oath of friendship and congratulations to the son on his graduation from his mother. Well, at least not the vile asphalt on the sidewalk. 12. Nothing more to say about Tampa. Not a bad city, not a good one. 13. Forty kilometers west of Tampa, on the Gulf of Mexico in the town of Clearwater (Clear Water), we finally get to a real Florida beach. 14. Everything is grown-up here: white sand, hotels with boats, cafes with toilets on the shore and lifeguard towers. And the geography itself is interesting – it’s not just a coast, but a spit surrounded by water on both sides. One thing is missing: the surf here is like on the Sea of ​​Azov. That is, none. 15. Behind the near-beach hotel line, two-storey houses-shops-restaurants stretch along the road. 16. According to American tradition, the sidewalks are deserted, because the embankment is arranged in such a way that there is nowhere to walk. 17. For those who have never been to the sea, it will do. We, even in Hawaii, who chose special places, are not at all interested here. 18. In search of interesting beaches, we try to leave the city, for example, to Fort de Soto Park. 19. Well, at least we have seen enough of dolphins and cormorants. 20. Yes, to a fisherman who industrially fishes to the envy of colleagues with fishing rods on the pier. 21. Tampa’s neighbor – St. Petersburg, or St. Pete – was founded by the Russian nobleman Peter Dementiev, named after the Russian St. Petersburg and today is his twin. The “City of Pensioners” is beautiful and interesting in places. 22. Dared in places. 23. Harmonious in places. 24. But he, too, suffered from the automobile scourge of America, having received instead of cozy streets that one would like to walk along and where it would be nice to be, wide multi-lane roads that divided and divided the center into islands. Walking distances have doubled and tripled, the noise of cars makes it difficult to talk, and the smell of asphalt and exhaust drowns out the aroma of wine and the taste of steak. We run through these voids without the slightest regret. 25. Florida’s roads are as boring as Minnesota’s. Or any other flat state overgrown with forest: all we see from the window is a section of the highway and trees along the sides. And so on for hundreds of kilometers. 26. Rescue bridges flying over countless swamps, rivers and bays. 27. In search of a unique, or at least unusual beach, we visit all rating places, but everywhere we find the same boring coasts with a narrow strip of rocky sand. Alla consoles herself by searching for shells, the described quantity and quality of which also turned out to be greatly exaggerated. 28. What can not be taken away from the coast of Florida is the mansions of wealthy people. 29. Along the sides of the roads there are high, two or three mesh fences with barbed wire at the top. It is in the rest of America that a waist-high fence is enough to keep cows and sheep out of the road, but here it is necessary to stop crocodiles, panthers and other highly passable animals from committing suicide. 30. The ideal vehicle for exploring the swamps. Noisy walks, it should be noted. 31. Oohs and aahs were heard from behind at one of the stops. It turns out that Alla’s favorite and irreplaceable knife drove about 230 kilometers on the rear bumper along country, city and highway roads. He held on with the last of his strength. 32. Everglades National Park greeted us with signs “everything is closed – out of season” and an incredible number of midges, mosquitoes, horseflies and other gadflies. 33. I had to turn around, especially since there is nowhere to go on foot in these parts, we need transport like this. 34. Yes, and we have already seen real southern swamps with crocodiles in Louisiana, so we move on with a clear conscience. 35. In the town of Homestead, trees scream in red and peacocks scream with terrible voices. 36. Fruit Basket America, along with California, Hawaiian and Washington fruit baskets, supplies fruits and seedlings throughout the country. 37. South and south, the mainland has already ended, and we are all going. The road to Key West (“key” is “coral reef”), located 150 kilometers southwest of the lowest point of Florida, looks fascinating on the map, but so-so from the car. And I also drove up to the edge of the bridge on purpose. 38. But as soon as you take off a little, the picture changes dramatically. One of the many bridges “Seven Mile” (11 km) goes beyond the ocean horizon. To the right is an old road closed to traffic but open to fishermen. 39. And if you go a little higher, you can see all the Florida Keys in full force. Interestingly, a hundred years ago, the Sea Railroad was built here, connecting the mainland with the farthest island of Key West. 40. This is how the Russian book publisher Pyotr Soykin described it in 1915 in his journal Nature and People: enters the steamer and reaches Havana, the capital of Fr. Cuba, lying 140 miles to the south. So, the whole journey from New York to Cuba can be done without leaving the car…” 41. Peter got excited about Cuba, of course, but the train did run in storms and winds from Miami to Key West for 23 years, until the 1935 “Storm of the Century” hurricane destroyed the road, killing four hundred person, including express passengers. 42. It was decided not to restore the railway, replacing it with a car. 43. All the islands are dotted with coves, gulfs and channels, through which thousands of yachts and boats scurry. In the center of the picture is the carriage of the legendary express, converted into a restaurant. 44. The southernmost point of the continental United States (in general, the southernmost point is on the island of Hawaii). Tourists self-organized in a queue for a picture with a landmark. 45. Again we find out that the information about the presence of normal beaches on Key West is not entirely reliable. 46. On the other hand, decent-sized iguanas roam here. They may be harmless, but they certainly look menacing. 47. City beach is really bad. But we’ll write it off for the offseason. 48. Mopeds and bicycles are the first sign of a cultural resort. Unfortunately, there is also a lot of car traffic here, which is especially annoying on the streets with tables on the sidewalks. 49. A real eatery: drop in, drink while standing and move on. 50. Magician, acrobat and juggler in one person entertains the audience on the cruise pier. 51. A typical souvenir shop. We go to these for stickers. 52. Key West was once a haven for pirates, and the memory of those fun times is still kept here. 53. A properly shabby (preferably natural, time-consuming) house looks nicer than the newly built ones next door. 54. Our acquaintances frightened us in advance with the Florida humidity and heat, but we always answered that, they say, the Hawaiians themselves, we are not afraid of the tropics. Yes, we are definitely not afraid of the Hawaiian tropics, because in Hawaii there has never been such heat and humid stuffiness as in Florida. 55. Ernest Hemingway lived and worked in Key West in the thirties, this is his favorite bar. 56. Many restaurants, bars and cafes here look like private houses both inside and out. 57. And the private houses themselves look something like this. 58. In the evening, the main Duval street walks to the fullest. Alas, it does not turn into a pedestrian one. 59. A rich collection of things necessary and dear to a man’s heart. 60. A dollar man will tell you a dirty joke. 61. The islanders use the geography of the area for its intended purpose: this is what the back streets of most decent areas look like. 62. Boatman’s and fisherman’s paradise. 63. The houses in these areas look something like this. More practical than luxurious. 64. In Florida they build from blocks, and by the water it is always on stilts. Hurricane is not to be trifled with. 65. Whoever is poorer is, as a rule, more disorderly. 66. Seaside flavor and romance. 67. We return to the mainland along the same island road. It may be interesting here for land people unaccustomed to the sea and for those who have a boat. There is nowhere to walk here. 68. Warmth and humidity make it possible to grow weed on concrete fences that protect the ears of citizens from the noise of the freeway. 69. In Miami, we were invited to stay with him for a couple of days by Jessaia from Montana. Roommates and housemates came to Florida from different states to earn money as sales agents. And I remembered the “dashing nineties” and similar “covens” in Dagestan and Ossetia. Like a nightmare. 70. We begin to explore the neighborhood of Miami. Maybe because we have been traveling for a long time, have seen many cities and have sharpened our eyes and ears, maybe we are tired or getting old, but lately we simply cannot organically endure the streets crowded with cars. Well, what’s the point that on this “go there, it’s very cool there” street, there are some beautiful hotels and pleasant cafes, when cars are constantly moving between you and any direction, buzzing, growling and honking? You walk along one side: “Oh, what kind of store is this, let’s go see” – you stand, waiting for a green one. “Obviously, let’s move on,” and again stood in the heat under the sun, waiting for green. 71. Increasingly, there is a feeling that the city is filled with parasites, which by definition should not be here. Buildings – they are, after all, for pedestrians? What about approaches to them? Also, like, for them. And here it is not. As soon as you leave the door, you are immediately met by a world imprisoned for transport. Signs, traffic lights, crossings, parking lots, parking meters, asphalt, asphalt repair. Where do you live here, you ask? 72. Everything is beautiful only on postcards. But in reality, here, in a quiet lane, near a beautiful rounded building in flowers and palm trees, in fact, nothing is heard and little is seen because of, in this case, this bus. The engine rumbles, the fan howls, it smells of diesel exhaust (I like it, but not next to the coffee table). And all around the beeping of delivery trucks backing away, the roar of a motorcycle, around the corner the rumble of road repairs, the dissonance of honking cars, the bottom of rap sausages from the window of the blackhead, the sound of air conditioners turning on and off in taxis waiting for customers … I didn’t invent anything, I stood here on purpose five minutes and listened to it all. And did not understand why it is here? Why can’t I hear the steps and conversations of people, the smells of perfume and coffee, why can’t I, sitting on a bench as a pedestrian, behind the dull iron see the architecture and vegetation created for pedestrians? 73. Someday people will look at photos like this and feel sorry for our generation because we grew up and lived in cities adapted for large mechanical machines, and not for small human pedestrians. Someday this will be remembered as an unthinkable absurdity – how we sat at a table with our beloved girl and told her pleasant nonsense while the hot engines of iron carts snorted nearby and doused us with oil heat from under the bottom, the hot asphalt trembled with a bituminous haze, and our eyes, unwittingly, snatched out multi-colored, haphazardly made and installed, automobile signs behind a beautiful face. 74. Nice old building. I want to stand and admire them. Can take a picture. Where there is – there is not a single angle, not a single point for shooting, so that cars or traffic lights do not get into the frame. I am not against cars and traffic lights, I am against the fact that they are in the city center, where you can easily do without them. 75. We leave for quiet residential areas and relax on a swing made of banyan wood vines. 76. The area is good, historical. Wealthy Cubans came here in ancient times and built houses in their delightful style. 77. It’s interesting how a good area turns into a not so good one. Sometimes they are separated by one, transitional quarter. Here’s another good area. Cleanliness, order, street names are marked in an original way. 78. A couple of blocks deeper – and the area is already bad. Bars on the windows, chaotic wires, a mess in the yard, a shabby house. 79. Small house in a good area. By and large, the main thing, how it differs from the house in the next photo, is the painted walls. 80. What and who prevents the owner from painting the walls of the house? Disorder in the head of the owner. Why are fences and bars not needed in neighboring areas, but they are needed in these? Because there is no order in the minds of people, which, by the way, is not so difficult to establish, if there is a desire. But there is no desire. 81. The Little Havana area is Cuban in its own way, but not very different from other semi-ghetto areas in other cities. 82. Elderly Cubans play dominoes here in the park in any weather. 83. This place reminds me of Brighton Beach. 84. Restaurants are cozy and green. The open patio invites you to stay there even if you don’t feel like eating at all. 85. A Cuban band is playing salsa, passers-by are eagerly invited to a dance duel. 86. Cafe-museum-gallery. A convenient place for singles, sit, watch, develop, get rich. 87. A piece of a scoop in Miami, a Cuban monument to those who died during the assault on the American special forces in the Bay of Pigs. The scoop appeared in the eternal Soviet fences with or without reason. 88. Moving towards downtown Miami. The skyline of the city looks unusual due to the abundance of hotels and residential buildings right in the center. 89. And if you look down at your feet, you become sad from the monstrous amount of garbage that dotted the shores. 90. At the boat station industrial scale storage and transportation of boats. 91. Iconostasis in the Hard Rock Cafe. 92. Mandatory part of the city center – berths and piers, a purely tourist place. 93. Many people travel and live on their yachts. Another old and perhaps too bold dream. 94. Miami, like southern Florida in general, surprised me with its puddles. It is clear that the land level here is very low in relation to the sea, most likely this is one of the reasons. But it’s still strange to see mini-lakes in pedestrian areas. 95. One of the types of urban transport, an automatic train with the lifeless name “People Mover” passes right through a residential building. 96. Ever since childhood, for some reason it seemed to me that Miami is such a Honolulu, Las Vegas and Los Angeles in one person, that there is always a festival and a holiday here, a modern city is buried in flowers, along its streets, smelling of cotton candy and vanilla ice cream, laughing merrily, crowds of people in bathing suits move, and on white beaches, hand in hand and in slow motion, beefy handsome men and busty beauties run towards the blue waves. The reality turned out to be a little different. 97. There is absolutely nothing to do in the modern or historical part of central Miami. An average city like Tampa, Columbus or Milwaukee. 98. It is clear that people will come here for holidays, concerts and matches, but in everyday life in the center of Miami it is quiet and deaf, like in any other province. 99. Guys and girls, it is true, run and the busts are in place, but they run not at all festively and not at all into the ocean, because it is not here. 100. There is a bay, and it often looks like this. 101. No ocean means no tourists. The center dies out by six o’clock in the evening, bristling in the Ghetto style with bars on the shop windows. 102. In general, the city is no worse and no better than other American cities, and if it were somewhere in North Dakota, we would probably even praise it for something. 103. But this is Miami itself! From this one word, it should become hot in the chest, and sultry in thoughts. Alas, Miami will remain in our memory more like this. 104. Than even like this. 105. Well, where are the famous beaches of Miami? And you still need to get to them from the center. The nearest one – Miami Beach – is 10 kilometers or 20-40 minutes drive through city traffic. But we, on the advice of the locals, first go down to Biscayne Reef and see what it can offer to tourists who are hungry for a good beach. Already not bad, palm trees, fine sand. 106. There is also a beach with a lighthouse, which differs from other beaches in its shape and location. From above it looks really good. 107. Downstairs, of course, is simpler, but quite good. The water in Florida is on average three to four degrees warmer than in Hawaii. Which is not always good, however: at some point, having heated up on the sand to a cloudy head in the ocean, you just want to cool down, but at a temperature of 31 degrees, this is not so easy to do. 108. Miami is also known for its artistic Wynwood district. So artistic that even the middle school is covered in graffiti. 109. And a car repair shop. 110. And in general, all buildings on all streets. 111. The only problem is that these are “unfavorable” backyards of the city. Why artistic, progressive young people need to live and create in the outback while the center is dying and looking like filth is incomprehensible. 112. Summer in Florida is the rainy season – real tropical downpours that begin abruptly and end even more abruptly, like in a cheap movie. 113. After a bit of rain that brought down the heat, we drive through the center of Miami to the resort of Miami Beach, located on the island. 114. Everywhere they say, write and show that in Miami Beach you need to go to Ocean Drive, Ocean Drive (Ocean Road). It seems like there is all life, partying, beaches and beauty. We are coming. 115. Now it’s evening, plus the rain dispersed the people, and before that we drove here on a sunny day and saw what a terrible traffic is going on this road. Therefore, at first I did not believe that this is the very place where you need to come in Florida to relax and have fun. 116. This is what a street looks like anywhere. The worst thing here is not that the cafes have pulled their umbrellas over the heads of visitors and passers-by. 117. And the narrow sidewalks that gather people in a live line can be forgiven, and even brazenly sticking to people called to restaurants. 118. And you can close your eyes to the fact that in most alleys there is no life at all. 119. The scariest thing on Ocean Drive is that right in the middle of all human life there is an automobile road where you can park. That is, if you sit down at a table and want to enjoy the view of the ocean, then you will have something like this picture in front of you. Plus, a column of cars barely moving, dousing you with the smells of an engine, heated antifreeze and exhaust. 120. And even if you manage to find a table at the crossroads, and all the cars run out of gas and are dragged to a landfill, you still won’t see any beach or ocean. 121. Because Ocean Drive in Miami Beach looks like this. Beautiful at the top, but absolutely uninteresting at the bottom. 122. Beaches in Miami Beach are typical resort beaches: wide, flat, extending beyond the horizon in both directions. Trash cans are commendably lined up, encouraging conscientious citizens not to pollute the beach. 123. Unfortunately, there are not many conscientious citizens in Miami Beach, because it is the dirtiest beach I have ever been to as an adult. And this is not at all about the garbage that the ocean brings – people in front of us threw cigarette butts into the sand, and we ourselves, amazed at the idiocy of some individuals, took out bottles and broken glass into the trash after them. 124. City view from the beach. 125. In principle, you can relax here, and those who have never been to the sea will most likely like it here. But we, I’ll say it again, sorry, we lived (and live) in Hawaii, and we wanted to see something new, something that we didn’t see there. I must say right away: we did not find anything like this in Florida. 126. Having walked along the only (seemingly) short pedestrian street of Hispaniola in the Spanish quarter, created after the example of Mediterranean villages in France and Spain … 127. … and thus partially rehabilitating Ocean Drive, we go further on North. 128. Miami Beach is not bad, and you can and should come to it. The question is how many times. One was enough for us. photo, description, map with addresses Kalinina Margarita +7 (495) 725 1001 1001 tour Novoslobodskaya, 1001 tour call me back Mishina Svetlana +7 (495) 725 1001 1001 tour

A: Some states require a college degree for preschool teaching positions, while others accept a high school diploma and early child education certification.

Find a Center Orlando Preschools,Child Care & VPK Learning Program We utilize Kaplan Learn Every Day, along with the Creative Curriculum with the Florida Department of Education’s Early Learning and Developmental Standards. These standards guide teachers on what children should understand and be able to do as they move from birth to age 5.  We utilize this approach in all of our programs:  Infant classroom, Toddler classrooms,3-Year-Olds’ classroom, VPK (Voluntary Prekindergarten) classroom, Before and After School Program and Summer Camp Programs.     The first four years of life is a period of rapid development for young children. Recent research supports that every child is born with well-developed senses and reflexes. Beginning at birth, young infants are able to form relationships with adults, develop trust, and explore the world. With adequate nutrition, an appropriate environment, and nurturing by responsive adults, young children become actively engaged in exploration and in learning about their environments.   Each child’s special temperament and family context ensure that, while development will follow a somewhat predictable sequence, the child’s development will be unique.   Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards are comprehensive and contain age-appropriate information and reflections about how young children explore, create, and think. The Standards are grounded in Florida’s conviction that children’s early experiences are directly related to later success in school, in the workforce, and in life. The information in this document is offered to parents, caregivers, and teachers so that their interactions with young children in the home, and in school readiness, Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK), and other early care and education programs can build upon children’s emerging talents and strengths in appropriate and enriching ways.     The Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards for Four-Year-Olds create a common framework and language for providers of both the School Readiness and VPK programs. Based on collaboration with a state panel of experts, national and state expert reviewers, and public input from citizens across Florida, the Standards for Four-Year-Olds reflect the latest research on child development and developmentally appropriate practices for 4-year-old children. Standards and benchmarks are organized into five domains.   Physical Development. Approaches to Learning. Social and Emotional Development. Language, Communication and Emergent Literacy. Cognitive Development and General Knowledge.   Benchmarks are available for two domains–the domains of Language, Communication and Emergent Literacy, and the Mathematical Thinking section of Cognitive Development and General Knowledge–to help explain further what Florida’s children should know and be able to do by the end of prekindergarten.   Guiding Principles   The Florida Birth through Five Early Learning and Development Standards are based on principles that incorporate our collective knowledge about child development and sound professional practice. These principles reflect a shared position about early learning and development.   The first five years of life is a period of rapid growth and development. Development begins during pregnancy and continues throughout life. During the first five years, brain development continues, physical capabilities expand, and many new social and cognitive skills emerge quickly.   Nurturing and responsive relationships are the foundation of healthy growth and development. Young children depend on the support, unconditional love, and guidance of the adults who care for them in order to maximize the opportunities available through newly-developing skills. The most important relationship in a young child’s life is the one between the child and parents. Other significant adults must work in partnership with parents to ensure that a young child experiences a seamless and supportive environment.   Developmental milestones occur in a predictable order, but each child develops at a unique pace. Development occurs in several areas or domains. Growth in one area can affect growth in another area. Growth is shaped by many factors, including, the temperaments, and cultural.  Not all children will attain a skill at the same time, and each child’s progress will be unique. ​ Children learn in many ways and in multiple settings. Learning occurs in all parts of the child’s world – at home, in early childhood settings, in communities. Young children learn from their daily routines and from both planned and unplanned activities. They learn from adults as well as from others.

Then we decided to find out in which kindergartens the winners of the city competition “Educator of the Year” work and how to get into their groups. The Educator of the Year competition has been held in Krasnoyarsk since 2014. At the preliminary stages, the contestants prepared essays, an online portfolio and business cards, demonstrated their skills in working with children and defended their new developments in education before the competition committee. Here is a list of seven kindergartens where winning teachers work:0002 Olga Amelchenko became the winner of the very first competition “Educator of the Year” 7 years ago.

Olga won the very first city competition of professional skills of educators Photo: Olga Amelchenko / Vk.com Share — Of course, I remember how my knees were shaking, and it seemed to me that only gods participate in such competitions. At the competition, I presented my method of “eventfulness” – educational tasks are solved not in a lesson with children, but in the course of some kind of event. As I remember now, the children in the group found a bottle with a note that the boy was lost. He’s in America and he needs help. And then the children and I decided whether we needed to sail to distant lands and how we would save the boy, ”Olga shared her memories with us. The director said she has been working with children for almost 20 years. He still uses his methodology and often talks about it at conferences on preschool education.

  Orlando hotel prices

  Orlando hotel prices depend on the season, and sometimes even higher than in New York and Miami:

  • Accommodation for two in a 3-star hotel with breakfast away from amusement parks will cost an average of $ 80-110 .
  • Cozy family apartments in a resort near the park cost $200-400 .
  • And prices in the best 5 star hotels start from $500 – much higher than in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

  Although there are quite cheap hotels. For example, Days Inn is a cheap $45 motel in Sand Lake near Interstate 4 and Universal Park. The rooms are old, hence the low price. Suitable for overnight stay only. A security deposit of $100 is required upon arrival.

  Depending on the time of year, holidays and weather, prices in Orlando hotels near Disneyland can vary quite significantly. The most expensive time to go to Florida is in the summer, at the height of the holiday season and school holidays. But in the winter after Christmas and New Year, as well as in the spring, when there are few tourists traveling around the United States, you can save a lot and go inexpensively with your children to Disney World.

  All hotels near Disney World

  And if you want to live in Florida not in expensive resorts near Disney parks, but in cheaper hotels, then pay attention to the city of Kissimmee , which is much closer to Disney World than itself Orlando .

  You can pay for hotel accommodation with a bank card (debit or credit). It is also important to know that taxes and fees are not included in the price when booking (in Orlando they are about 20-30% ), the cost of parking and additional services, as well as a security deposit (usually about 100-200 dollars), which many hotels block on the card during check-in and return after check-out. Sometimes a deposit is not required at all or it can be paid in cash.

  Universal Studios Park Universal Studios Park Orlando Florida photo

  When planning a trip to entertainment Orlando, you can safely lay down a day for each park, the entrance to the parks is not at all cheap, so weigh your interests, take into account the age of the children and physical abilities . .. walking through the vast areas of parks in decent heat is not easy … but you are you will understand only at the exit, as the impressions of what you see will overwhelm all difficulties!

  Universal Studios Park Universal Studios Park Orlando Florida photo

  The tourist season in Orlando is all year round, it all depends on your preferences, hotter or cooler, noisier or quieter …
  We got to Orlando in early September and the weather suited us quite well, during the day the temperature was about 30 degrees, stable and sunny.
  Florida is notorious as a hurricane state, but it is the city of Orlando, located in its central part, that is the least dangerous in the event of such natural disasters.

  Universal Studios Park Universal Studios Park Orlando Florida photo

  In Orlando, we decided to stay in an apartment with a kitchen so that we could cook or heat something simple. All the same, eating constantly in restaurants with a large family is expensive.
  September in Orlando is the period of recession of the high season, and the recession of prices, respectively, for everything tourist.
  Vista Cay Resort by Millenium was selected for a 4-day stay, offering apartments and duplex townhouses for rent. Vista Cay Resort features a natural lake with a jogging track and lake-dwelling crocodiles, a small fitness area, much-needed Wi-Fi!, free parking for our American tank, and a pool open until late at night for a wonderfully relaxing and refreshing experience. after a long and full of impressions day in amusement parks, which, by the way, are not far from our place of temporary residence 🙂

  Vista Cay resort rental of apartments and villas in Orlando Florida photo

  Since the plans were to stay in Orlando for 3 days, we rented an apartment with a kitchen to be able to organize food at home.
  Not far from our apartment, there was a wonderful Publix supermarket, where we found everything we needed, a good set of products and ready-made fresh semi-finished products. We didn’t have to look for restaurants for breakfast and dinner anymore, we fell in love with our Publix 🙂

  I won’t describe the environment of our apartment, we were delighted, I’ll post some photos and once again with a clear conscience recommend Vista Cay Resort by Millenium for your vacation!

  Orlando or Miami. Why Orlando?

  By the way, we did not reach the super popular Miami Beach only 375 km, and we deliberately did it. Of course Miami Beach is a reputable resort! But I’ll try to explain, when you relax with children, it’s usually like this: it’s either interesting for parents or children … In Orlando, it’s interesting for everyone!

  If your children are under 5 years old, then of course you go to the beach, and you don’t have to be smart and tear off your hands, work your backs, trying to see and examine something, but if you are older than 5 years old, then you will need additional entertainment and activities, and then you have one road at Amusement Parks Orlando ! And there are plenty of them in Orlando, for all tastes 🙂

  Let’s move on to the main part of the story about Orlando

  Orlando Amusement Parks

  The most interesting, in our subjective opinion 🙂 places to visit in Orlando

  – Walt Disney World parks

  – Universal Studios Park

  – Sea World Park

  – Gatorland Park, or Gatorland – Alligator Farm

  – Space Center John Kennedy , or Kennedy Space Center and its existing launch sites of Cape Canaveral, Cape Canaveral

  Walt Disney Florida, photo from www. travelandleisur. Walt Disney World park Orlando Florida, photo from www.free-city-guides.com

  In fact, there are more parks, rides and other entertainment in Orlando. I will list them for general development and convenience of planning your personal trip:

  Aquatica – one of the ten largest water parks in the world

  Wet ‘n Wild Orlando – 25% off! – huge Orlando water park with slides, waterfalls, falls and artificial waves

  Legoland – the name says it all

  Gatorland – a huge crocodile farm, where more than a hundred crocodiles live in the wild

  In the near future in the wild Orlando expected to open new Volcano Bay Water Park . The new super-modern water park Volcano Bay opens on the territory of the Universal Resort and promises visitors dizzying slides, waterfalls, many pools with waves and rivers, a variety of water attractions and entertainment for all ages, as well as equipped stylized Polynesian beaches and a park that occupies a central place for a good rest. gigantic over 60 meters high Krakatau volcano.

  Wow… Looking forward to the opening of Volcano Bay!

  As I already said, when planning your trip, you can safely lay aside a day for each of the amusement parks you have chosen, and it will not be enough, but still 😉

  So! Our choice of activities in Orlando for 3 days

  1 day. Sea World Park
  why is Sea World Park the first? everything is trite, we wanted to sleep on the first day in Orlando and go to Universal from early morning until closing, so it’s not that Sea World Park is the first, just Universal Studios is the second 😉

  2nd day. Universal Studios Park – Universal Studios
  as already mentioned “from opening to closing.” Why Universal Studios and not Walt Disney World? because “you can’t embrace the immensity”, because it was our dream, because our family are fans of Universal Studios films, and because we decided that Walt Disney World is more childish . .. most likely we are wrong, but it was decided so

  3 day. Blue Spring National Park
  why Blue Spring? because this day was the birthday of one of our family members, the birthday boy wanted to go to nature, so the Blue Spring natural park was chosen

  Some notes from our indelible impressions of the Orlando parks we saw.

  Sea World Park Orlando Amusement Park

  Sea World Park is a park where you can have fun all day with the whole family.

  Universal Studios Park Orlando amusement park

  Universal Studios Park – the main goal, forgive the rest of the many attractions in America, and the main dream of our trip! Even now I don’t remember where we learned about him and why we know so much.

  Universal Studios Park Universal Studios Amusement Park Orlando Florida photo

  The main warning learned on the Internet before the trip about Universal Park: “if you want to walk around the Harry Potter pavilion relatively calmly, come to the park right at the opening and go straight there”, we learned well, and followed this advice, which is what we wish everyone.

  Universal Studios Park Universal Studios Amusement Park Orlando Florida photo

  I won’t give details of our unforgettable day at Universal, let it be more interesting for everyone, I’ll just say that they even forgot about food, in the evening leaving the park were on the verge of cannibalism, everyone saved by the presence of a choice of restaurants concentrated at the entrance / exit to the park.

  Of course, I post photos, but Universal Park must be seen for yourself!

  I will briefly list what we managed to see: both Harry Potter pavilions (let me say, Hogwarts Express runs between them), by the way, you can ride the Hogwarts Express as many times as you like during the validity of your ticket to the park, at Hogwarts School we are waiting for a surprise (on this time I won’t say which one), we were completely delighted :),

  attraction Jurassic Park – Jurassic Park in our personal rating rightfully competes with Harry Potter, but still in second place Studios Park Universal Studios Park Universal Studios Amusement park Orlando Florida photo

  Restaurants are located everywhere and near each attraction there are theme shops and shops with pleasant souvenirs.

  Universal tickets were also bought online. There is no need to print tickets, a confirmation comes to the cell phone with a barcode, which is read at the entrance to the park.

  You can also buy tickets for 2 or 3 days, it will be cheaper. That’s what we didn’t do and then remembered, we didn’t go broke on VIP tickets, when it is possible to go to any attraction of the park without a queue. In the morning we did not feel it, but by lunchtime the queues began to accumulate almost everywhere.

  Blue Spring State Park national park

  Blue Spring State Park is located just 55 km from Orlando and is known as a wintering ground for the rare animal Manatee or Manatee, they come to bask in the warm waters of the St. Johns River flowing through Blue Spring Park.

  With the help of Uber, we easily got to the Orlando airport, from there we took a direct American Airlines flight from Orlando to New York and then with a 4-hour wait for our beloved AirFrance from New York. York to Paris.

  A bit of specifics and math, a trip of 15 miles (about 24 km) from our favorite hotel Vista Cay Resort by Millenium to Orlando International Airport on Uber Max cost us $17.

  I can’t help but mention our last impression from Florida: Orlando Airport looks more like a tropical hotel than the airport we’re used to seeing.

  Laysan Utyasheva – biography, photo, personal life, husband and children, mother, height and weight 2022

  Biography of Laysan Utyasheva

  Laysan Utyasheva is a Russian gymnast whose name is associated with several of the most difficult elements of rhythmic gymnastics. The legend who won the World Cup and became the winner of numerous international competitions. Honored Master of Sports. A woman who made a successful career after a severe injury and retirement from the sport. Model and TV presenter, inspirer and organizer of the sports Internet project “Willpower”. Author of the autobiographical book Unbroken. Wife of Comedy Club resident Pavel Volya.

  In the photo: Laysan Utyasheva

  Childhood, youth and family

  Laysan was born in the summer of 1985 in the family of historian Albert Utyashev and librarian Zulfiya Kiraeva. Her grandfather Sultangarey Kiraev for a long time was the head of the city of Raevsky in Bashkiria, where she was born.

  Parents of Laysan Utyasheva – Albert and Zulfiya

  Mom and dad met in Ufa, where they studied at the same university, albeit at different faculties. Despite the fact that Albert was a quarter Pole, a quarter Tatar and half Russian, he managed to convince the traditional Bashkir family of his sincere love for Zulfiya, and they were given consent to the marriage.
  The grandmother chose the name of their newborn daughter. Since on that summer day there was a warm rain, which in Bashkiria is called “liysan” (affectionate), they decided to name the girl that way.

  Laysan Utyasheva in infancy

  From an early age, the baby surprised her relatives with her abilities and eccentricity. When they tried to send her to a kindergarten, the girl immediately fell ill: she could not be in the company of strangers. Laysan loved to be at home, with mom and dad, although she admitted that she was bored without playing with children.

  In 1989, Laysan’s father was offered a good position in Volgograd. The whole family moved there. Since the experience with kindergarten was deplorable, my mother decided, together with Laysan, to visit all possible children’s studios in the city. The surprise of the parents knew no bounds: the daughter found undoubted singing, choreographic, linguistic talents.

  Laysan Utyasheva in childhood

  The English teacher noted the girl’s extraordinary ability to learn languages. They explained this by the fact that Laysan grew up in, as they would say now, a bilingual family and learned to speak Bashkir and Russian. Nevertheless, it was decided to send the girl to a ballet school, but Providence intervened in these plans.
  The end of the eighties was a time of total shortages. To buy groceries, one had to stand in line for more than one hour. Mom took her daughter with her to the store, settled into a long tail, and Laysan went to the nearest wall and waited.

  A 4-year-old child entertained herself as much as she could – for example, she tried (and successfully) to reach her wrist with her fingers. This flexibility of the joints was appreciated by a woman passing by: she squatted down in front of Laysan and asked to show how she does it. Mom immediately ran up, frightened that a stranger was pestering her daughter.

  Laysan started doing gymnastics at the age of 4

  The woman introduced herself as Nadezhda Kasyanova, a rhythmic gymnastics coach, and invited Zulfiya to bring the girl to her section. At first, my mother categorically refused, arguing that such a sport is dangerous to health. But at the family council, it was decided to go to a trial workout, after which four-year-old Laysan announced that she wanted to become a world champion in gymnastics. I had to forget about ballet, my mother began to take her daughter to training, where she quickly achieved her first successes.

  Laysan’s first steps in gymnastics

  Despite her love of gymnastics, Laysan managed to study well at school, because her parents were frightened – if the grades were bad, she would not go to training, she would not go to competitions. The girl obediently did all her homework so that nothing stood in the way of her dream.

  At the age of ten, she received her first fee for winning the competition and bought her mother a dressing gown made of natural silk as a gift. The woman kept it all her life. During this period, the first non-childish grief happened for the girl: her beloved parents divorced. As the athlete later admitted, dad had not only an addiction to alcohol, which Zulfiya unsuccessfully tried to cope with, but also a second family.

  The girl turned twelve when the Moscow coaches Alla Yanina and Oksana Skaldina drew attention to her and offered to move to the capital for training. For the sake of Laysan’s professional victories, her mother moved with her to Moscow.

  Later, the woman became a personal manager and the main assistant and adviser to her daughter – even after Laysan left the big sport. The support of the most beloved person contributed to the new successes of the young gymnast. At 19In 1999 she was awarded the title of master of sports. At the age of 16, the girl bought an apartment for them and her mother with personally earned money.

  Sports victories and Irina Viner

  The zero years brought the first serious achievements to the gymnast Utyasheva. In a tournament organized as a tribute to the memory of Oksana Kostina [a Soviet gymnast who died in a car accident at the age of 20 – ed. uznayvse.ru], Laysan became a silver medalist, and a year later, at competitions in Berlin, she became the six-time winner of one of the World Cup stages. She won gold in all six disciplines.

  A month later, in Madrid, Utyasheva took gold in the team championship. She was awarded the title of master of sports of international class. But she was deprived of the medal, because her teammates Irina Chashchina and Alina Kabaeva were disqualified.

  No one knew with what efforts these victories were given to the gymnast. Constant stress and the eternal feeling of hunger brought the girl to nervous breakdowns. The legs periodically began to hurt so much that they cramped. Mom rubbed them with ointments so that Laysan could get some sleep without sharp pain, and go to school in the morning.

  There were also difficulties in the family. Father Laysan went into business, although he had no idea about this area. By nature, a sociable and bright person, he has changed a lot. He began to drink, raised his hand to his wife. Eventually, the parents divorced. Zulfiya did not communicate with men for another six years.

  But the young athlete, despite all the obstacles, did not give up on her dream. And in 2001, they started talking about her as a new bright discovery in the world of rhythmic gymnastics. Famous coaches Vera Shatalina and Irina Viner became interested in her. And although everyone described the latter as a very tough and demanding coach, Laysan joined her team.

  It was thanks to the new coach that Utyasheva realized what she was really worth. Her self-esteem has increased, depressive moods have gone. Wiener did not require her gymnasts to starve themselves, but taught the principles of proper nutrition. The girls had the freedom to choose music and costumes for their performances, they were allowed to say whatever they think in interviews with journalists. And Laysan blossomed. She became the winner of the unofficial world championship held in France, won gold in three disciplines at the Youth Games in Moscow.

  Trauma

  Utyasheva predicted a great future, but in 2002 the athlete injured her foot at a competition in Samara – the organizers were negligent about the location of the mats. During the initial examinations, no injuries were found, the gymnast continued to train and perform, complaining of pain in her leg. Only Irina Viner took Laysan’s complaints seriously and sent the girl for examination to a German clinic.

  Performance by Laysan Utyasheva with an injured leg (2002)

  Foreign experts using magnetic tomography revealed multiple fractures of the navicular bone in Utyasheva, and since the gymnast tried to transfer the load to her healthy leg, the bones began to diverge in her foot. Returning to Russia, the gymnast went to the surgeons. She went under a scalpel five times, and a pin was inserted into her leg to fix the fractures. Much later, Laysan will talk about his then state:

  There was a threat that I would not be able to walk. The diagnosis was terrible: “We have been walking in a cast for two years, if the bone does not grow together after the sixth operation, then, most likely, we will file it down and put the prosthesis in the lifting zone.” It sounded like a sentence. Each time I closed my eyes and imagined my bones fusing together. In my other reality, Laysan was on her feet, Laysan was dancing. And when a year and eight months later I had a tomography, the doctors could not believe their eyes – the bone began to grow together. Now I know for sure that anything is possible.

  In 2004, Utyasheva returned to big-time sports, again began to bring home victories from international competitions, and became the European champion. She was already preparing for the Beijing Olympics, when her knee “flew out” at the next training session. And again – a long recovery period and a difficult decision to leave rhythmic gymnastics. The mentor, who became almost a second mother for the girl, accepted her decision with understanding, assuring that her departure does not mean an absolute parting with the sport.

  Laysan miraculously recovered from her first injury, but injured her knee

  It was Irina Viner who helped Laysan recover when the gymnast recovered from self-pity in six months by more than thirty kilograms. She spent time on the couch and ate everything that came to hand, not noticing how she was gaining weight. And only a sobering scolding of his beloved coach brought Utyasheva to life. The girl remembered proper nutrition, physical exercises and quickly regained her lightness and beautiful figure.

  Career after sport

  Utyasheva left big sport, but did not remain without work for long. The beauty could be seen as the host of such popular programs as “Main Road”, “Personal Trainer”, “NTV in the Morning”, “Fitness with the Stars”.

  Her autobiographical book Unbroken, which was presented in 2008, made a lot of noise. The attempt to create a dance show called “The Sign of Infinity” was also successful. Contracts were signed for advertising automobile and sports companies, Laysan was invited to work in the United States. She also acted as a commentator for the London Olympics.

  Soon, the girl created the author’s program on television “Beauty Academy with Laysan Utyasheva”, where she shared with viewers ways to lose weight, demonstrated exercises that helped to correct weight. The program attracted not only the opportunity to put her figure in order, but also the sincerity of the presenter, who referred to her own experience. Later, Utyasheva was given carte blanche on the Romantika radio, where she invited celebrities for a cup of tea and a frank conversation about life.

  Laysan tried her hand and talents in various directions. She appeared as a cameo in several TV series, including Pavel Drozdov’s drama “Champions”, filmed in 2012, and a couple of years later she became the permanent host of the show “Dancing” on TNT.

  Utyasheva brilliantly demonstrated her sports data in the video for Yolka’s song “I’ll be waiting for you.”

  was very proud of her new theatrical and dance show Bolero, created using various genres. Laysan played the main character in it, relying not only on personal experience, but also picking up strokes for the portrait from her mother, her beloved coach, and her friends:

  After the premiere, the yellow press wrote that I had problems in the family: a prosperous woman cannot convey her image on stage like that. But my heroine is a collective image. And if there is my experience, then it is in one scene, which I internally, for myself, dedicated to my mother who passed away early.

  The family and creative tandem, whose “Power of Will” helps hundreds of thousands of people to believe in themselves, develop independently, no matter where they are, continues its activities. Since the beginning of self-isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic, the couple have created a new project: a funny YouTube show “Charging online with Laysan”. One of the guests was comedian and TV presenter Alexander Gudkov. In connection with the star, Utyasheva, with a considerable amount of humor, showed how you can use a mop when doing physical education.

  In July 2020, Laysan Utyasheva appeared on the air of the Evening Urgant show. In the program, the athlete spoke about raising children, gifts from her husband and other joys of her life.

  Personal tragedy

  The tragedy that Utyasheva is still experiencing broke into Laysan’s life in the early spring of 2012. During the day, she and her mother went to a cafe, and in the evening she went into Zulfiya’s room to wish her good night. And I saw a terrible picture: my mother was suffocating, she could not utter a word.

  The ambulance drove for a very long time. She tried to give her mother artificial respiration, prayed and screamed. As if distraught, Laysan ran barefoot into the snowy street, because the brigade could not find the house. And then – emptiness. “I remember falling, and that’s it. It’s as if you live and don’t live, ”she recalled the moment when, a minute ago, alive, her mother stopped breathing. The cause of death of a 47-year-old, still young woman, was called a massive heart attack.

  Grief consumed the gymnast. It was only in July that she was able to realize that her beloved Zulfiya was no longer with her. Close people helped Laysan not to slide into the abyss of despair – Irina Viner and Pavel Volya. Much later, the athlete recalled that her mother, when she saw Pasha, immediately told her that it was he who was her destiny.

  They always made fun of her that she goes everywhere with her mother-director. And Zulfiya instantly saw the essence of the person who stood in front of her. And her daughter learned from her wisdom and stamina, patience and the ability to live. When my mother died, the thought that life was over came to Laysan. But she understood that Zulfiya would not forgive if her daughter left after her.

  Personal life of Laysan Utyasheva

  Against the backdrop of grief, Utyasheva’s former relationships with men became completely unrealistic. Gossip about her romances with Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom and Russian figure skater Alexei Yagudin did not matter. The trials with ex-boyfriend Valery Lomadze, a businessman who accused Laysan of fraud, seemed surreal.

  After the sudden death of her mother, the comedian Pavel Volya turned out to be next to her, whom they met several years ago at a social event, where both were presenters.

  Their acquaintance did not immediately develop into something more, but the paths often crossed, since both worked on television. Later, the athlete said in an interview that they were friends for about five years. They talked a lot, talked, they were interested in each other. Warmth and mutual sympathy has not gone away over the years, the girl called their pre-wedding relationship “spiritual contact.” Over time, feelings became deeper, and it was Zulfiya who first noticed their rapprochement and told her daughter that she liked Pasha.

  Mom wasn’t wrong this time either. Volya did not leave Utyasheva alone with her grief, surrounded her with care and realized that he wanted to live his life only with this woman. They got married quietly and modestly, six months after the tragic events. For a long time, few people knew about their new status. Even when Pavel officially announced in the spring of 2013 that he and Laysan were husband and wife, friends considered this an April Fool’s joke. But Utyasheva at that time was already carrying their first child under her heart.

  They spent their entire pregnancy in Spain, where there was the most favorable climate, and in May 2013, their son Robert was born in Miami. The young mother had a psychological breakdown: immediately after the birth of the baby, she grabbed the phone to inform her mother that her grandson was born … Pavel immediately ran into the ward and offered to call his mother.

  Laysan plunged into maternal chores, and two years later, on 05/05/2015 at 05.05 in the morning, a girl was born in the family of a showman and a former gymnast, who was named Sofia, in honor of her mother. The fact is that Zulfiya often worked abroad and, in order to make it easier for foreign partners to pronounce an unusual name, she asked to call her Sophia, Sophie. She liked the name very much. Utyasheva, noting the unusual coincidence of the numbers of her daughter’s birth time, joked later that their Sonechka was an excellent student by nature, and thanked fate that the baby’s weight was not five kilograms.

  The happy mother and wife admitted that they didn’t need anyone for the first five years of family life, they tried to spend every hour free from filming and work together. Of course, there were guests in the family of Utyasheva and Volya, but only relatives and closest friends.

  Son Robert, according to Laysan, is a very serious and adult boy, and daughter Sofiyka is still making ropes from everyone, especially from dad. In May 2020, a very tender and touching congratulation for her daughter on her fifth birthday appeared on Utyasheva’s page. The congratulation was accompanied by a video where archival family photos and videos were collected. At the request of the birthday girl, the video was accompanied by “her song”, although the parents offered to put on a cheerful children’s song:

  “When you find this video on the Internet in a few years, know that you chose the music for it yourself,” Laysan clarified and signed the holiday post: “Congratulations. We can’t love. Your cookie and lala.

  Despite all the attempts of haters and ill-wishers to “divorce” Utyasheva and Volya, their family is still friendly and happy, which is confirmed by another confession – on Laysan’s anniversary birthday, Pavel dedicated poems of his own composition to his beloved wife, where he listed all her virtues and again admitted in his imperishable feelings to his “eighteen-year-old girl.” The harmony and mutual understanding that lives in their family has not gone away, no matter how much some ill-wishers would like.

  True, not everyone shares Laysan’s views on family life. So, the indignation of many women was caused by her statement about women who do not know how or do not like to cook:

  If you don’t know how to cook, then you are not a woman, and there is no Domostroy here! Grandmothers, great-grandmothers cooked, and for some reason only women of this generation began to say: “No, I should not cook.” Why?

  In the same interview, she said that it is very important for Pavel that his wife cooks well; he always takes food cooked by Laysan to the shooting, and eats it with appetite, not understanding his colleagues ordering lunch in a restaurant.
