A toilet sandwich and a shameful corner: how we were humiliated in kindergartens

There are many traumas in childhood, and one of them is going to kindergarten. Not so long ago, we published a short story about humiliation in kindergarten. Hell opened up in the comments, and it also turned out that many of our readers suffered from the cruelty of educators. We collected their stories and added some of our own.

Ekaterina

The teacher once rolled me up into a mattress and tied the resulting roll with skipping ropes, and then pushed me under the bed. The whole group was laughing at me. It was she who punished me for not being able to clean up a heavy mattress and a cot (I was about four years old). Another time, this sadist beat me on the hands with a nettle bush because my girlfriend and I played wrong. His hands were on fire, as if they had been burned with red-hot metal. I had no right to cry, as I would have gotten even more. My parents were shocked, my mother was very scared, considering that I had allergies for any reason. The parents did not swear, they were afraid, they thought that the situation would become even worse (I don’t understand, how much worse?). Damn, I was less than five years old, and I still remember this horror, although I am already 38 years old.

Aleksey

In the Kremlin kindergarten on Zorge Street, where I went, the children of service personnel were brought up together with the children of the nomenklatura. This is 1983-1985. The teachers did everything. I remember the girl Oksana hated state-owned sandwiches with cheese and butter. Once she secretly threw such a sandwich down the toilet. Was exposed. The teacher, having gathered the whole group in the toilet, made this girl take the sandwich out of the toilet and eat it. At the same time, we heard about “bread that should never be thrown away.”

Zlata

In our garden, those who did not finish the soup were thrown the second into the half-eaten soup and had to eat it all together. And once the boy (I don’t remember why) was put naked in front of the group for the whole quiet hour. I still remember how he tried to turn away and cried, and I’m 35 already. The most interesting thing is that none of the children complained to their parents about this.

Katerina Dyomina, psychologist:

“It’s simple with kindergarten: children don’t recognize bullying as violence if they are treated the same way at home. It’s just that parents ignore this fact.

For example: “Until you eat everything, you won’t get up from the table. Eat what you put in, no one cares whether you like it or not. Mother cooked – eat. And so about everything. Burying in the nose, changing clothes, washing, eating, sleeping – all through violence that no one regards as such. Therefore, when a nanny does something similar in the garden – threatens, forces, beats – this is read by the child as normal behavior of an adult.

Plus, many parents react to complaints by joining the aggressor: “What did you do that you were punished? And how did you behave? It’s your own fault that you were put in front of everyone in wet pants, you should have asked.”

It is enough that this happens at least twice – and the child stops complaining, blocks any dissatisfaction with adults in himself. But he starts to get sick or fight. It already depends on temperament. Children who are treated with respect and care at home are not going to endure mistreatment. And they speak openly, and they resist, and they tell their parents with indignation, because they know that this is not the way to treat children.”

Marina

The teacher beat me on the head with an iron spoon and warned that if I told my parents, they would kill me, bury me in the forest, and tell my parents that I had run away. And once my mother was delayed, they put me out on the road alone in the winter and left. And the girl who peed was left naked until the evening without panties.

Nina

It was, yes… It was even worse, the second one was thrown into a plate with borsch, interfered – if you don’t want it separately, now we will feed everyone together. They intimidated me, promised to strip me naked and take me to a neighboring group. And if you can’t sleep at a quiet hour, they tore off the blanket. And lie down, try to make at least a sound. The bedroom was arranged on the veranda, the windows were from ceiling to floor, it was so cool in autumn and winter, and if you didn’t move, you generally got cold. You lie down and are afraid to make a sound. I hated the garden with every fiber, sobbed every morning, was ready to sit at home alone, just not to go there … And now, remembering, everything turns upside down inside. I hate.

Aleksey

I remember how the nanny wiped the spilled coffee with milk on the delinquent hair. As a punishment, they were forced to stand with their hands up (and this hurts, by the way). I don’t remember how they hit their hands with a ruler, but my parents told me (I offered them to play kindergarten, and they were extremely surprised by such a game). Food competitions: whose table will eat faster; losers – shame and contempt; I remember how my cheeks almost burst from the food stuffed into my mouth, which had to be eaten in order to win. Everything is the second half of the 70s.

Yuliya

In our garden, they put us in a “shameful” corner in a T-shirt and panties for misbehavior while everyone was playing. They were forced to sleep only on their backs. It was impossible to leave the table if you had not finished eating, so everyone choked and ate. And they often gave compote of dried fruits with worms. Well, that’s probably all the horrors that I remember. Mid 80s.

Natalia

Yes. It was like that in the “happy 70s”. The boys were put naked on the windowsill so that they would be ashamed of their bad behavior in front of all the people on the street. The second was put directly into the half-eaten first. They locked me in the toilet. I am not surprised that there was not enough faith in myself, at least for me, in order to make a breakthrough in life …

It turned out that the employees of Mel also had a hard time in the kindergarten. Here are their stories.

Tatyana Voloshko, correspondent

Not all people can sleep during the day. For example, I have never been able to. And this is very bad. It is good and significant when the whole group is sleeping. And when you don’t sleep, it’s bad and uncomfortable. Everyone who did not know how to pretend to be asleep was lifted from their beds and forced to stand in shorts and a T-shirt. When it seemed to the teacher that now we would definitely fall asleep, we were allowed to lie down. Someone immediately passed out. I could stand the whole quiet hour and die, but this made me want to sleep even less. And those who, like me, didn’t care about anything, were raised again, but now they were taken to the first floor to the doctors’ office to get an injection for sleep. I was taken several times. They didn’t give an injection, but it was cold and very embarrassing. In shorts and a T-shirt. After that, I lay down and squinted until I got up.

Natalia Savina, sales manager

Once I got naughty and refused to sleep during my sleepy hour. The teacher took me out in my shorts to a cold corridor, where I stood for an hour. Unforgettable hour of humiliation. This is one of the strongest memories.

Ekaterina Ogorodnik, Marketing Director

I really disliked kindergarten. Because of some constant feeling of fear: to receive punishment, reprimand or scream from the teacher. It was scary to be late, it was scary not to be able to tie your shoelaces, it was scary to move during the daytime sleep, it was scary to take toys “from the wrong shelf”. And all because they forced me to eat, they didn’t allow me to get up from the table until we finished eating, or they forced me to stuff food. I threw up a few times. Until now, I’m sick of the mere mention of the words “semolina porridge” and “jelly”.

At the age of five or six, I began to be cunning. She took toys or books with her for daytime sleep, hid with them under the covers and quietly played or looked at pictures. I moved the nasty porridge with a spoon to the edge of the plate, which created the feeling that I had eaten half and was quite “full”. In the summer, when we walked on the playground near the kindergarten, I always peered at passers-by, and if I saw someone from the family (mother, father, brother), I ran up to the fence and began to beg to take me with me. It worked infrequently, but there was no limit to happiness at these moments.

Dina Boyko, blog editor

From a year and a half I went to nursery and then to kindergarten all the way to school. I was very lucky with my teacher. Svetlana Petrovna definitely loved children, and I definitely walked in her favorites. But, as happened in all gardens, we were forced to finish our food. At the same time, they fed deliciously, and I definitely could not drink milk. Another thing, meatballs. I couldn’t chew and swallow them. And then I came up with an ingenious way. I left the cutlet behind my cheek, and walked around with this chewing gum until the evening, and spit it out on the way home. You know, all children have different ways of surviving.

From my childhood, I remember how one of the first days one of the children brought yellow round candies in honor of his birthday. And on that day I staged a performance – described myself. And then the teacher loudly began to scold me, to shame me, and as a punishment I did not receive sweets. Let me remind you that I was not even two years old, the teacher was 30 years old by that time for sure.

In general, I loved kindergarten, but I didn’t take any of my three children there. You see, the teacher does not smell like a mother, but smells like someone else’s aunt. A child up to four years old has absolutely nothing to do there if the mother has at least some opportunity not to take him there.

In a private kindergarten, a 2-year-old girl was left on the street after a walk

Parents wrote a statement to the police, the check began.

Are you sure that your child is supervised in the kindergarten? A few days ago, the heroes of the following story would have answered in the affirmative. Without fear, young parents left their one and a half year old daughter with caregivers. Until they learned from a passerby that their child had been forgotten on the street after the walk. How much time did the baby spend alone at the roadway, and will there be punishment for criminal negligence?

“In general, he doesn’t leave me a single step. Just a little, right away: mother, mother,” says Maria Fomina. Katyusha is eight years old. Usually an independent girl asks her mother to hold her. The second day the baby does not go to kindergarten, the reason is not illness and whims. After the walk, the teachers forgot her on the street.

“As I was told, the child was found sitting on the steps. She was sitting and crying, she was already tired of crying, she was just sobbing,” notes Maria Fomina. This caring woman found the girl. In place of the crying child, Lyudmila Melnikova immediately introduced her granddaughter. She says she knocked and rang the closed door of the kindergarten for more than five minutes.

“Then I hear such a cheerful voice from behind the door: “I’m coming, I’m coming, who’s there?” She opens the door so happy, all the children came out behind her, about six, already in shorts and T-shirts. I tell her: “What are you , stunned? Why do you have a child on the street?” She grabbed her head, took the girl, closed the door and that’s it. She didn’t say a word to me,” says Lyudmila Melnikova.

The teachers did not say a word about the unpleasant incident to the father, who took the little girl from the kindergarten. Alarmed, Lyudmila Ivanovna decided to find out about the fate of the found child, and only therefore the parents became aware of the situation.

Little Katya went to the private nursery “Galka-Igroka” for eight months. Parents chose a kindergarten from a variety of options: they carefully studied reviews and conducted interviews with educators. For 15 thousand a month, they promised five meals a day, care, care and developmental activities. However, local residents talk about what is not written in brochures.

– They take them for a walk – one young teacher is 30-35 years old, the other is 50 years old. They are standing here, smoking around the corner, I am watching from the window, I live here in the 21st building. They took them out, children run around here, cars drive here, two children jumped out here.

They did not want to explain why a one and a half year old child was left alone on the street, two meters from the roadway, in the kindergarten. In order not to meet with the film crew of the South Ural “Vesti”, the pupils were even deprived of a day’s walk. Phone calls were also not answered. The Fomins will never return to these nurseries, the parents wrote a statement to the police, an inspection began. The Yuzhnouralsk “Vesti” made its journalistic request to the Department for Supervision and Control in the Sphere of Education.
