K. Penny. The Food Court has a good selection of foods to eat with pretzels and caramel grains nearby! On Thursdays there is a $4 small kids train that takes them on a ride (and you) throughout the mall and the kids love it. There are many games/rides for the kids as well and the play area. There are shops for hats, clothes, shoes, a map, t-shirts, novelty, jewelry and more… just about anything you need. There is even a movie theater and shops on the east end of the parking lot, like Home Goods and south of the Frontier. 
Last year they took out all the little kids play equipment and put in some older stuff that tennagers use including cell phone charging stations and we know what that brings to the table. Now when you walk up and down the Plaza you don’t see personal safety, but you do see teenagers sitting around including so many tennage girls, sexy dressed who almost look like they’re looking for a date. If you know what I mean. The whole area no longer feels comfortable. Pretty spooky!

For teachers who also have nonteaching roles, only the portion of time and pay dedicated to classroom responsibilities is factored into the calculation.
It was then that innovative teachers appeared: Anton Makarenko, Stanislav Shatsky and Ignatiy Ionin. The latter created an amazing educational institution for children and adults. We tell the story of the utopian school “Red Dawns”, in which the all-Union movement of Communards was born. 
They knew that when they entered the commune, they accepted its main rule – “Who does not work, he does not eat.” In return, children were given the freedom to choose the future of their school on their own. The director of the commune school, Ignatius Vyacheslavovich Ionin, in turn, promised the students: “Everyone gets everything!” 
His father was ill, and therefore, having barely recovered from his injuries, Ionin began to look for work. 
What to do? The adults decided: the school should switch to self-government in the best traditions of democratic pedagogy. 
And labor needs a laboratory, and school agriculture will be, first of all, a laboratory,” wrote Ionin, who dreamed of creating not just a “school with a farm” or a “farm with a school,” but only a “school-farm”. He did not forget about this idea even when he hired teachers. When hiring, Ionin asked each subject teacher: “What else can you do, what can you teach guys, besides your subject?” 
” 
Almost all children who left the commune, once considered disadvantaged, went to universities and became engineers, economists, agronomists.

Most of the Krasnozor residents – already too old to be considered children in wartime – went to the front. The new director and some teachers also left there. Primary school students went to the Yaroslavl region for evacuation, and only high school students remained in Krasnye Zori – they had to harvest. At the end of August, the girls moved to the building of the Institute for Blind Children, where they became “orphanage”, and not “Krasnozor”. 
In 1949, an orphanage under the same name reappeared in Leningrad, and in 1961, a boarding school with a special working regime for children who had poliomyelitis appeared on its basis. 
Prior to that, he worked for 25 years in a regular school “outside”. 
Such cases happen: the teacher left after learning that one of her promising students committed murder and plans to repeat after her release. Therefore, it is better not to know,” says director of evening school No. 12 Tatyana Nesterova . She teaches English in IK-12 and IK-13.
