People often tend to move from small cities to large ones. But a reader of Tinkoff Magazine did the opposite.

She sold an apartment in Khrushchev in St. Petersburg and bought another, smaller one in the Leningrad region. So she managed to get rid of her mortgage, move to a new building with beautiful entrances and explore the area, from which everyone dissuaded her from moving.

Background

Two years ago I lived in a two-room Khrushchev in the Kalininsky district of St. Petersburg. Now I live in the city of Murino – in the Leningrad region. Since there is a metro here, I would call it the northern outskirts of St. Petersburg, although, of course, it does not need such joy.

I liked the Kalininsky district, although we did not live close to the metro station, on Metallistov Street. There was a cool park, all the infrastructure, you could walk to the Sverdlovsk embankment. There was not only a shopping center nearby – and this is a minus. Although, with the pandemic, I got used to taking everything on marketplaces and now I hardly go to stores.

I also had the thought that I wanted a child, and here Khrushchev, fifth floor, no elevator to raise the stroller. In general, I wanted something new, well, beautiful photos in the elevator. Conceived – done.

Search for buyers

I sold Khrushchev with a realtor, we are not cooperating for the first time. He takes a small percentage, while I do part of the work. It is important for me that the agent answers calls, filters people and writes to me on WhatsApp the date and time of viewing. Plus, his duties include drafting an advance payment and sale and purchase agreement. I, in turn, hold showings of the apartment.

The sale of Khrushchev took half a year. There were a lot of views, sometimes five per evening, and sometimes every day. Most often, potential buyers looked at five or six apartments in the area at once. But there were few people willing to buy mine. Someone complained that there was no balcony, someone that the rooms were adjacent, although everything was indicated in the announcement. I don’t know how true these objections were.

“We agreed”: what manipulations did I encounter when selling an apartment

Once a family of seven people came to see us, including two children of preschool age. Perhaps this case was the funniest for me, because they had to enter in groups of two people due to the fact that there were small corridors in Khrushchev.

And then the buyers were found – it was a married couple who were looking for an apartment for their daughter. They were the first of all those who were interested in our kopeck piece and wanted to make a deal, and in the presence of a realtor, we signed the documents for an advance payment.

Choosing a new apartment

After receiving the advance, I immediately started looking for a new apartment. I had a limited budget, and I wanted to meet it without borrowing, and also leave money for the arrangement. Therefore, there was practically no choice: I considered several districts and paid attention to the following factors.

Distance from metro. I am not a motorist, and it is important for me that the road to the subway is comfortable day and night. In St. Petersburg there is the Kudrovo district, where, due to the better infrastructure, the prices for apartments are much higher. At the same time, the road to the metro takes from 30 minutes. In Murin – 20 minutes. Maybe not by much, but less.

Visual impression of the house. I also pay attention to how the house looks inside and outside. In Murin, I liked the brown-beige houses of 15-17 floors, at the bottom of which there are shops and a coffee shop. I was pleased with the presence of elevators, a wide corridor in the apartment and a lawn at the entrance. It seemed that, unlike Soviet housing, it was not ashamed to come here yet.

Builder’s reliability. Across the street from the house where we previously stopped, there were apartments of the same footage cheaper by 500,000 R, but their developer went bankrupt, and people are being frightened by the court. So obviously I didn’t risk it.

Cross transaction

When I chose an apartment for purchase, we did not order an electronic transaction, but went through all the stages traditionally. It was important for us that the purchase and sale deal was on the same day, this is often called a chain.

But then everything dragged on for a month and a half. The buyer of the Khrushchev apartment made an advance payment, then it turned out that the money was in her deposit, and she asked to wait until the end of its action. For me, this was an unpleasant surprise, because at the same time I quit my job and it was problematic to go to a new place until I moved. I wanted to control everything myself, solve the issue with furniture.

How to properly give a deposit when buying an apartment

As a result, due to a delay with the buyer, I was unemployed from October to mid-January. She was kind, she lost money, but she did not cancel the deal. We will consider that this is an experience – in the future I will defend my interests, and not follow the lead of others.

Sale. So, day x. The sale deal was in the bank’s office in the Moskovsky district, on the other side of the city, since the buyer has a personal manager there, with whom she works on all issues. We booked a meeting room at the bank for 10 am.

The buyer of my Khrushchev put money in a safe deposit box. Two people could get them: me and the seller of my new home after presenting the registration documents. I don’t know why, but the whole process with this cell took about five hours. Bank employees ran around with pieces of paper, then booked access to the vault, and so on.

6 ways to pay for the purchase of real estate

On the same day we had to go to the MFC – I had four tickets to two different places. I gradually canceled the entries through the site, as the Khrushchev sale deal lasted a long time.

Purchase. After the St. Petersburg MFC, we went to the Leningrad region, to the village of Staraya, to complete the deal for the purchase of a euro-twin. They didn’t do it in Murin, because even two weeks before the deal it was impossible to get a ticket there.

I took all the coupons on my own, because I understood that the realtors would miss this moment. And the result was exactly what I needed. When I said where I signed up for the deal – and this is 27 kilometers by car – the realtor from the seller was outraged why it was so far away. But, having opened the recording site, I realized that this was the only option, otherwise the deal would have been postponed for another month.

Paperwork. After the first visit to the MFC, it was necessary to come there again to pick up the documents. During the pandemic, this was not very convenient due to coupons.

It was possible to avoid unnecessary hemorrhoids thanks to an electronic transaction, and I even once had it, but I didn’t like that there were no documents in printed form, which are requested everywhere. You can probably get them, but these are additional body movements.

Totals and amounts

I bought a new and sold an old apartment in December 2021. I had a kopeck piece of 46 m², and a euro-twin of 41 m² appeared. The new apartment has a large kitchen and bedroom, there is a balcony of 3.5 m². Since we live with my husband and we have no children, living in such a footage is acceptable, although I will strive for more.

I sold a kopeck piece in Khrushchev for about 5,000,000 R, taking into account the fact that I left the furniture and appliances. One of the goals of the deal was to get rid of a small mortgage tail for this apartment, which is why we decided to reduce the area. The debt was about 500,000 R. I closed the mortgage with a loan, and the loan with the money that I received from the sale of the apartment. I used such a scheme so as not to shift the headache with a mortgage onto potential buyers.

How I prepared an apartment and sold it quickly and expensively

I also bought a house in Murin for 5,000,000 R with kopecks. For comparison: three years before the deal, the seller purchased this apartment for 3,000,000 R at the construction stage.

Living in a new place

The layout of our new home is one of the key aspects why I chose this property. This is a one-piece apartment: you enter, a wide corridor of 7 m², to the left is a bedroom, to the right is a kitchen-living room. The room offers a view of the street, and from the kitchen side – the courtyard and the kindergarten, which, according to discussions on Vkontakte, is difficult to get into.

This layout is convenient for us: despite the fact that this is a one-room apartment, everyone has their own place – there is a room for my husband, there is a room for me. We both work remotely, so 24/7 at home. At the same time, we can be alone with our thoughts.

At first, we received utility payments of 10,000 R every month: immediately after buying an apartment, I did not reach the management company. The meters in Murin were not sealed, so the bills came in according to the standard, and the first ones shocked me. In general, people pay about 3,000 R for a one-room apartment in our residential complex in winter, and about 2,000 R in summer. We paid three to four times more. But this issue has already been resolved.

When I studied the forums, many people said that it makes sense to change the counters set by the UK. According to their version, something is wrong with them – they wind more. I don’t know if this is true or not, but we put thermal heads on the batteries, after which the payments became smaller. We pay about 6000 R in winter and 5000 R in summer. However, this is still more than in St. Petersburg.

Plans

My actions with real estate are not always logical. Most of the things I did to gain experience. She lived in the Primorsky district, which is praised by everyone. I lived in Kalininsky, which I was not advised. And she moved to the legendary Murino. But now I understand what is important for me. Just words that there and there weren’t very good weren’t enough — I wanted to see everything with my own eyes.

Of course, ideally my destination is a three- or four-room apartment with panoramic windows overlooking the bay. But until that time, alas and oh, we need to solve a huge list of tasks in terms of sources of income. Even if it will not be an apartment of such a plan, it is important for me that there is proximity to nature and at the same time the metro is at hand.

I plan to live in our apartment in Murin for three years and, if the situation on the real estate market allows, to sell it and return to the center of St. Petersburg. Just buy in return not Khrushchev, but something from the 70s.

I like the 1-528KP-40 series – these are brick house-points. They have an elevator, a balcony, all the infrastructure is nearby. In fact, these are also Khrushchevs, but more modern. In panel Khrushchevs, I was often annoyed by protrusions from the wall, they are load-bearing beams, which, in my opinion, spoil the whole view.

“You have to pay extra for living here”‎: is it worth moving to Murino

My philosophy is this: when buying an apartment, it is important to understand that this is not for life. I don’t know how obvious it is, but you have to catch the wave. Sometimes crises can be good – and while everyone slows down, I prefer to step on the gas.

Inna Shipilova: “I like dressing my fellow villagers”

A shop in a small village is more than just a shop. For example, in Petropavlovka with a population of about 600 people in the center of the village there is one, let’s figuratively call it, a mini-trade center. It houses a grocery store (with a small assortment of household goods), an atelier, a nail salon and a clothing store.

It is clear that the city is nearby, if someone works in the regional center, returning home, he stops by supermarkets on the way (especially if he has a car). But there are villagers who do not often go to the city. For example, mothers with small children or the older generation. It is much more convenient for them to go to the convenience store, take a walk in the fresh air, and buy the necessary essentials. Again, the village shop is also a place of communication. As we were told, some villagers 9 times0067 five per day can come here on important business.

It is clear that the grocery store is always the most in demand. But in our publication we will talk about manufactured goods. We met Inna Shipilova on the Village Day. She took photographs of artists and awardees, filmed a video, then explained that she was trying for her fellow villagers so that they would have a memory. And she is especially pleased that many of the women who went up on stage at the celebration looked smart and elegant. This is also her merit, she helped to select outfits. It turned out that my new friend Inna Sergeevna is a clothes seller. Then she also took the stage, the head of the administration of the Belomestnensky settlement Viktor Maslennikov presented her with a letter of thanks for her active life position and participation in the life of the village.

Inna Shipilova’s childhood passed in the regional center, she studied at the city school No. 39, but always wanted to go to the village, she even asked her mother to transfer her to the Belomestnensky school. For all weekends and holidays I came to Petropavlovka to my grandmother. They had a friendly company in the village, and she has known her future husband since childhood. There were a lot of young people in the disco club – noisy and fun. Inna was engaged in a dance group, went to perform at concerts in Belomestnoye, Khokhlovo. He speaks with special warmth about the head of the club, Valentina Naida: “Our aunt Valya.” Now Inna Shipilova is proud of the success of her daughter, who received a diploma from BGIIK (specialization as an organizer of social and cultural activities) and works as a methodologist at the Peter and Paul Club. Alice sings beautifully, writes author’s songs and poems, plays the guitar. Love for music is a family thing for them, they listen to vinyl records on a rare player, which was repaired by the head of the family. Great-great-grandfather’s gramophone, who fought in the Great Patriotic War, is kept as a special asset.

So why, having creative inclinations, did Inna go into trade? The seller is one of the most sought-after professions, you will never be left without work – this axiom had to be learned later. At first she entered the school of culture at the choreographic department, but studied for only a year. She got a knee injury, the doctors forbade her to dance, she categorically did not want to transfer to another specialty. She took the documents and went into trade, graduated from vocational school No. 10 , having received the specialty of a salesperson. The beginning of her career was in the 2000s, she first worked in a grocery store. A 15 years ago, decided to open her own business – a clothing store. Any undertaking is always interesting, but difficulties cannot be avoided. I went for goods to wholesale depots in Moscow and Kharkov, I wanted to pick up such clothes that buyers would like – beautiful, of good quality. Now the structure of delivery of goods has changed for the better – everything can be ordered on the Internet. Many domestic products have appeared, which are much better than Chinese and Turkish ones. Basically, its customers are representatives of the older generation, children’s clothing is also in demand.

“I like dressing up our lovely women, making people beautiful.

Then she also took the stage, the head of the administration of the Belomestnensky settlement Viktor Maslennikov presented her with a letter of thanks for her active life position and participation in the life of the village.

Inna Shipilova’s childhood passed in the regional center, she studied at the city school No. 39, but always wanted to go to the village, she even asked her mother to transfer her to the Belomestnensky school. For all weekends and holidays I came to Petropavlovka to my grandmother. They had a friendly company in the village, and she has known her future husband since childhood. There were a lot of young people in the disco club – noisy and fun. Inna was engaged in a dance group, went to perform at concerts in Belomestnoye, Khokhlovo. He speaks with special warmth about the head of the club, Valentina Naida: “Our aunt Valya.” Now Inna Shipilova is proud of the success of her daughter, who received a diploma from BGIIK (specialization as an organizer of social and cultural activities) and works as a methodologist at the Peter and Paul Club. Alice sings beautifully, writes author’s songs and poems, plays the guitar. Love for music is a family thing for them, they listen to vinyl records on a rare player, which was repaired by the head of the family. Great-great-grandfather’s gramophone, who fought in the Great Patriotic War, is kept as a special asset.

So why, having creative inclinations, did Inna go into trade? The seller is one of the most sought-after professions, you will never be left without work – this axiom had to be learned later. At first she entered the school of culture at the choreographic department, but studied for only a year. She got a knee injury, the doctors forbade her to dance, she categorically did not want to transfer to another specialty. She took the documents and went into trade, graduated from vocational school No. 10 , having received the specialty of a salesperson. The beginning of her career was in the 2000s, she first worked in a grocery store. A 15 years ago, decided to open her own business – a clothing store. Any undertaking is always interesting, but difficulties cannot be avoided. I went for goods to wholesale depots in Moscow and Kharkov, I wanted to pick up such clothes that buyers would like – beautiful, of good quality. Now the structure of delivery of goods has changed for the better – everything can be ordered on the Internet. Many domestic products have appeared, which are much better than Chinese and Turkish ones. Basically, its customers are representatives of the older generation, children’s clothing is also in demand.

“I like dressing up our lovely women, making people beautiful.

KIPP Texas–Houston Academics

Our success in achieving the mission of creating equitable and joyful schools rests heavily on all members of our instructional team fully embracing four elements of our design: Culture, Alignment, Rigor/Ratio, and Engagement.

Culture

A strong and positive culture is our lifeblood. Creating a rigorous, joyful student culture that drives learning and character development is paramount to our success.

Alignment

We rely on aligned curriculum as an important lever in the Teaching and Learning cycle while also acknowledging that an effective teacher is the highest lever in the cycle.

Rigor/Ratio

We believe that without struggle, there can be no progress. Therefore, we believe that our students should be engaged in rigorous and productive struggle in order to reach the demands of college-readiness.

Engagement

We base our belief about engagement in research-based practices and neuroscience. Research has shown us that deep learning only happens when people are cognitively and emotionally engaged with the material in front of them and when people feel safe in their environment.

Our Primary Schools

Our primary schools are founded on community, care and the cultivation of a love for learning. Our goal is for students to love school from the very start. There is a strong emphasis on Foundational Literacy, Conceptual Math, and exposure to STEAM experiences (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math).

View Primary Schools

Our Middle Schools

Middle school is the place and space to begin the development of our student’s identities as informed and engaged citizens of their school, communities, and of the world. They learn to think deeply, to write passionately, and to engage thoughtfully with rigorous learning experiences.

View Middle Schools

Our High Schools

High schools are designed to ensure students explore the possibilities beyond high school in a safe environment. They build their intellectual expertise through rigorous coursework and Advanced Placement classes. They feed their thirst for learning and leadership through a broad range of learning experiences whether it is advocacy, class debates, taking action in their communities, bringing us inspiration through the arts, designing new prototypes, compete athletically, and so much more. They graduate ready to choose a path that creates a fulfilling life whether it is college or another viable path.

THE FUTURE OF THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE IN THE USA IS FOR RUSSIAN CHARTER SCHOOLS! – Our Texas – Russian Newspaper in Houston, Dallas, San-Antonio, Austin, Texas

The organizer of the III International Conference on the topic: “The opening of Russian charter schools and the preservation of the Russian language and culture in the USA”, which will be held on October 23-24, 2010 in New York, as always, is the American Association of Russian Language, Culture and Education AARCE with the support of the Russian government and the embassy, ​​the Russkiy Mir Foundation and other organizations .

Svetlana Sokolova, President of AARCE, answers the correspondent’s questions.

Svetlana, please tell us what is the program of the conference and who is it for?

First, for individuals interested in opening charter schools in the United States and who wish to work there as directors and teachers. For them, Sergey Soroka, founder of the Global Outreach Charter Academy, located in Jacksonville, Florida (he is also the founder and director of charter schools known as Honor School, Slavic Learning Center (Sun Valley Learning Center) of California Charter Academy, Grant Community Outreach Academy, in Sacramento, California) and other speakers will share his great experience.

Secondly, for Russian- and English-speaking parents who want their children to study Russian as a school subject on a permanent basis. Interesting reports are planned for them by speakers such as Lynn Visson, author of From Russian into English: An Introduction to Simultaneous Interpretation, Wedded Strangers: The challenges of Russian-American Marriages and others.

Not everyone knows what a “charter school” is. Please clarify this concept.

The translation of the word “charter” is a contract or agreement, to give permission or grant a privilege. Charter schools are independent public comprehensive schools that receive funding from the state federal budget. They are free from many of the restrictions that apply to typical public schools. At the head of the school is the Board of Directors, which consists of parents and teachers, activists and volunteers. In charter schools, teachers have the right to choose how they teach, but are required to have the appropriate education and accreditation. They can use the most progressive teaching methods and techniques to achieve the result – a high level of student achievement. Thus, through experimental methodology, new assessment and reporting systems, charter schools create a progressive learning environment and provide great opportunities for teacher professional growth.

What are the advantages of charter schools over public and private schools?

Charter schools are a successful experiment in the American education system, as they combine elements of private and public schools. We can say that they combine all the best that both schools have.

Charter schools, like public schools, are free. If a student wishes to study in a charter school, then the public money allocated for his studies in a public school “follows” him there, because he still remains in the public education system. Unlike public schools with large student populations, charter schools tend to be small (200-400 students). This allows you to maintain good discipline and order.

Charter schools, like private schools, achieve good educational outcomes. Parents do not have to pay big money for this, as in a private school. Charter schools are a quality free education.

What language is taught in Russian charter schools?

And to be more precise, these are still Anglo-Russian schools. All subjects are taught in English, as in a traditional American school, but due attention is paid to the Russian language – the emphasis is on its in-depth study among both Russian-speaking and English-speaking children.

Why is the opening of these charter schools so important for the Russian-speaking community, since there are already many Russian schools and studios where children have the opportunity to learn the language and be creative?

All these studio schools exist on the money of their parents, and in a charter school, children will learn Russian for free. In addition, a child, being brought up in an English-speaking environment, even in the presence of constant communication with Russian-speaking people, unfortunately, as practice shows, loses the Russian language. It becomes foreign for him, it is more and more difficult for a child to express his thoughts in it, because with age not only the vocabulary expands, but also an understanding of the cause-and-effect relationships that are formed in the language of the country of residence comes. I am convinced that in order to preserve the Russian language and pass it on to our future generations, children should study it specifically and systematically. Only a Russian charter school is able to create all the necessary conditions for this. And the US government is seriously interested in opening such schools and is ready to finance them.

Why?

Experience has shown that the benefits are obvious. Existing in the US since 1992, charter schools, with the same funding as public schools, provide very good student performance. And every year more and more money is spent on the maintenance of public schools, but this does not give the proper result. US President Barack Obama called for the creation of more charter schools. In his opinion, it is this relatively new form of cooperation between the state and the private sector that will make it possible to radically change the situation and significantly raise the level of school education in the United States.

By does it have the right to open charter schools?

The initiative to establish a school may come from faculty, parents, local governments, institutions of higher education, commercial entities, etc. They must apply to the local education department and obtain a license. The application must explain the goals and objectives of creating a school, describe the proposed educational program, methods for assessing students’ knowledge, indicate the mechanism for managing the school, interacting with parents, etc. In addition, it is necessary to provide the signatures of a sufficient number of interested students (150-200 signatures).

How long is the license issued and how is the school monitored?

The license is issued for a period of 5 years, after which the school must again confirm its status. They are controlled through local school authorities or through state education departments. Responsible persons check the activities of charter schools and may cancel the contract if the results do not meet certain criteria.

How are school achievements assessed?

Based on standard government student testing that the charter school is also required to administer.

What charter schools do you plan to open?

At the moment, primary and secondary general education schools, which will train children from 5 to 14 years old.

From vetlana, please allow me to clarify a number of important details with you. Is everything free at a charter school or do you have to pay for something?

Extracurricular activities or after-school groups may be organized at the request of the parents and offered at an additional hourly rate.

How will the payment for textbooks be?

All textbooks and teaching aids will be given to schoolchildren free of charge, for careful use and with subsequent return at the end of the year.

How will meals be provided at the school?

Students will be offered breakfast and lunch for a fee. Those in need will be offered free food and/or a discount. The menu will take into account the traditions and preferences of the Russian-speaking community.

How will children be transported to school?

School buses will transport students from central hubs to and from school free of charge.

What diploma (certificate) will be issued to graduates of the charter school?

Although charter schools provide an alternative to other public schools, they are part of the public education system, so a charter school diploma will be the full equivalent of a standard public school diploma.

Thank you, Svetlana, for your explanations and for starting such a great undertaking. I wish you the realization of all your plans!

American school: what’s around the corner?

In her first week as US Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos has been busily explaining her new vision for the school system and what her agency’s role might be.

Betsy DeVos

She also had to spend a lot of time and effort fending off numerous critics who, in her own words, made her life “a real hell.” Even in the bowels of the Ministry, DeVos assures, there are a lot of people who want her to fail.

Probably never before in the history of American education has there been such a controversial figure. At the very first public school she visited in the capital, Jefferson Middle School Academy, the road was blocked by pickets of demonstrators. True, then she was given the opportunity to go inside and talk with teachers and children. At another school in San Diego that DeVos wanted to attend, the board voted not to invite her, in other words, they showed her the door. Why is she so repulsed? Is it because they see in her a “person from the outside”, a political figure, a billionaire, anyone, but not a person who is ready to take the problems and troubles of the American school to heart. So who is she anyway? Indeed, a champion of reforms, from whom one can expect serious changes in the education system? Or a dreamer far from real life, who is in captivity of her good intentions?

It is instructive to read the interviews that Betsy DeVos now willingly gives. In one, excerpted by the online publication Axios last week, she said: “I expect there will be more charter schools. More private schools. There will be more virtual schools. I expect there will be schools of all kinds that have ever been invented.” That is, hopes are pinned on diversity. And instead of a single system of public education regulated by officials from Washington, the freedom to choose locally what is more suitable in each case. But what about the Ministry, which is headed by DeVos? Will there be a need for it? Does she not cut the branch on which she sits? “I am not at all afraid that I will be left without a job,” she admits. – But it’s unlikely to happen. I’m not sure that there will be supporters in Congress for the liquidation of the Ministry.

What then will be its function in the reformed system of education? “I think in some cases his role will be to protect the students and create a safe environment for them,” said DeVos. – Well, let’s say there were segregated schools in which girls were not allowed to play the same sports as boys. In such cases, there might be an occasion for the government to intervene.” However, when asked if she could give any more examples, she said that nothing else came to mind yet.

According to DeVos, the possibilities of public schools have been exhausted. The situation they are in now is a dead end. The future belongs to alternative schools: charter, voucher, online, etc. She sees salvation in them, and also in instilling in the classroom “a love for American values ​​and building character” – something that is now completely absent “in our realistic and politically correct world,” as she emphasized in a conversation with conservative columnist Cal Thomas. Here, in fact, is the whole concept. Nothing more specific, no details. But Betsy DeVos believes her plan will succeed. Opponents strongly doubt this. They remind the leader of public education that she herself has not experienced the charms of this education. She studied at a private school. She also sent four of her children to private schools. He has no practical experience in the field of education.

As for charter schools, they still exist, funded by the state, but run by independent organizations. And there are vouchers. According to 2012 data, the education of one student cost the state an average of $10,615. For this amount, parents were given vouchers and the opportunity to choose an educational institution for their child at their discretion. What new is she going to bring? Close all public schools? Announce “voucherization of the whole country”?

Waiting for change

America was once proud of its achievements in education. But those times are in the past. Are American children ready, when they grow up, to maintain the leadership of the country in a rapidly changing and more complex world? For almost half a century there have been heated discussions on the topic: how to make the American education system competitive again? The participants in these disputes more than once indulged in dreams: if only we could find effective pedagogy, correct teaching methods! In search of a magic “magic wand” various experiments were born: New Math, Whole Language, “open classes”. Talk about “school reform” has become a commonplace in articles and scholarly writings.

At the same time, the reforms should not be understood as a crushing, revolutionary destruction of the entire structure of the school. So no one asks the question. The word “reform” in relation to education is used in two different senses. One refers to school subjects and teaching methods. For example, the use of computers in classrooms and conceptual math programs. Many professional organizations are engaged in such reforms, for example, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. And there are other reforms. They concern school administration, management methods, personnel and financial policy. This side of the problem is now receiving more and more attention. Experts tend to think that neither class sizes, nor textbooks, nor teaching methods, nor programs, nor technology is as important as the “quality” of the teacher. How is DeVos going to raise it? Nothing has been said about this yet. From her visit to Jefferson Middle School Academy, she took the following impressions: “I have noticed that the educators are in ‘recipient’ mode. They wait to be told what to do. And this does not give the desired effect in working with the child. There is no doubt that over the past 15 years, the independence of school teachers has been noticeably curtailed. They are required to adhere to top-down curricula and spend a lot of time preparing for standardized tests. But this still does not mean that they just sit and wait until they are told what to do.

Public schools in America have a long history. It started back in the 1820s and 1830s. By the 1840s, the demand for teachers increased dramatically. Mostly women went to school. For men, such work seemed not prestigious. In 1857, the National Education Association (NEA) was formed in Philadelphia. It was the first professional association of teachers. At first, there were only 100 people in its ranks. A century and a half later, the number grew to 3. 2 million. In 1887, the first NEA conference took place. What do you think was the main item on the agenda? The same one that is the stumbling block in today’s discussions – granting teachers the right to work for life, what is called in English lifetime tenure.

Innovators Needed

If the “quality” of a teacher is paramount, then, quite naturally, nothing is more important than being able to hire good teachers and fire bad teachers without any obstacles. But here’s where the snag comes in. So far, getting rid of a weak teacher, from a legal point of view, is very difficult. There is no doubt that in the field of education there are many experienced teachers who are knowledgeable, dedicated to their work, loving children. But the most capable people do not always come to cultivate this “field”. How is the new minister going to change this order?

Much of what DeVos is offering now is not new. Participants of the StudentsFirst movement spoke more than once about charter schools and the need to loosen the grip of the “center” and give more local initiative. The name conveys a simple idea: the interests of the students should be put at the forefront, whatever is done. Michelle Rea, an educator, head of the school system in the American capital from 2007 to 2010, stood at the origins. This woman knows about the troubles of schools firsthand. In December 2010, while appearing on the popular television program The Oprah Winfrey Show, Michelle Rea announced that she was launching the StudentsFirst movement. To date, there are more than a million members in its ranks.

The organization is headquartered in Sacramento, California. It is assumed that the changes called for by the reformers should be carried out in three directions.

The first is to improve the quality of teaching.

The second is to equip parents with pedagogical knowledge that will allow them to take a more active part in the education and upbringing of schoolchildren.

And finally, the third is to call on politicians across the country to pass legislation that would enable local school systems to function more efficiently.

StudentsFirst advocates the concept of choice that should be given to parents. One such alternative is charter schools. Each of them has its own charter, a set of standards and rules that determine all life within their walls. But in any case, they are accountable to their parents in everything related to academic performance, especially with regard to standardized tests. Now in many states, local laws limit the number of charter schools. StudentsFirst is fighting for restrictions to be lifted. The idea of ​​grants from public funds for children from low-income families is also supported so that these children have the opportunity to study in private schools.

So, as you can see, there is no shortage of good ideas. The question is how to make them a reality? Will Betsy DeVos be able to find a practical approach to realizing her reform ideas? With all doubts, it is still worth giving her a chance.
