How to properly teach today’s teenagers private school Swing – May 29, 2023

And something else is needed that will keep the love of learning among ruffy teenagers, for whom, it seems, protest and demand for freedom is everything! And here it becomes much more difficult with recipes for a good school.

There are many private schools in St. Petersburg. Small classes, “human” approach, creative activities. And if in the elementary this set is quite satisfactory for children and parents, then in the older one, the good attitude and smilingness of adults is no longer enough: I want a serious level of education. After all, exams are ahead, the main of which is adulthood.

How to properly teach modern adolescents

What begins the school

Elena Morozova , the founder and director of the educational holding

Private School “Private for 32 years of work found a balance between acceptance and intensive development, freedom and high points of the exam. It works – its graduates who pass the unified state exam with 90+ have proved it: top managers of companies, famous educators, researchers, creators of startups. So what should high school be like so that children do not want to leave it, but receive a quality education with pleasure? We will show on the experience of the “Vzmahovites”. The founder and director of the educational holding 9 will help us with this0011 Elena Morozova .

Become a leader from kindergarten

Preparation for high school begins with junior. And even since kindergarten. For preschoolers, the Vzmakh school team has created three types of educational complexes – colleges:

Three formats focus on different needs and abilities of kids. But they are united in one thing: preschoolers are not just having fun – they are actively developing and learning really seriously. By the age of six, as a rule, they already read decently, count up to a thousand or more, solve problems in several actions, understand English well, and most importantly, they are not afraid of adults. They love and know how to learn.

And this is not surprising: by the first grade, the guys have time to participate in “scientific” conferences, design clothes, make their own films, and even put on grandiose English-language performances. From an early age, they get used to the fact that knowing the world is an exciting and joyful process.

“Mom, pick me up later.” How to instill a love for learning in the primary school

Primary school in Vzmakh is a real world of children’s happiness. It’s beautiful, tasty and not scary at all. There are many students: in both branches, southern and northern, for the third year in a row, 40 to 60 children go to the first grade, but at the same time the classes are small, and there are many adults.

math battles

Already in elementary school, Vzmah students have many unusual educational forms:

90 002 It is important for us, says Elena Yurievna , so that every child at any time can turn to an adult with a question, talk about everything that worries him, share worries or ideas. Primary school is the best time to develop. And by no means should it be missed! That is why kids are taught, although often in a game format, but very intensively. And, what is especially important, in an individual volume and pace, taking into account the preliminary training, abilities and interests, the educational needs of the family.

Teachers present the new not as a sequence of topics, but as a series of riddles. Knowledge should be unusually intriguing, teachers say.

The second half of the day for junior classes is devoted to walks, circles and homework. Listeners are released at 18:00. It may seem that children are in school for too long. But when you have theater rehearsals after classes, then robotics classes, and most importantly, friends and loving adults are nearby, you don’t feel like going home at all. “Mom, pick me up later,” you can hear from the “Swing” first-grader during a telephone conversation with their parents.

And, perhaps, the last thing about elementary school. It does not happen here that obviously stronger children always win in battles or competitions. No, everyone is divided into leagues: advanced mathematicians compete with advanced mathematicians, average mathematicians compete with average mathematicians. And not only mathematicians receive diplomas. Young artists, creators, actors, and “Englishmen” are held in high esteem. This is a healthier approach, educators are sure. As well as the breakdown of the class into micro-collectives. After all, the abilities of the guys are different: one first grader can barely read, and the second can already issue 100 words per minute. To make learning more effective, children are divided into subgroups: sometimes 8-10 people, and sometimes 2-4. So no young listener will sit around waiting to be taken care of.

School for teenagers. Respect, friends, challenges

Teenagers are uncomfortable people: they make noise, are bold, protest, says Elena Morozova. And all why? Because they have new needs at this age. Not to take them into account is a huge mistake: it, in fact, causes youthful protest. Another thing is that working with the needs of a teenager is much more difficult than with the needs of younger children. It is not enough to be positive and accepting. Pressure and uncompromisingness must be able to withstand. It is precisely from pedagogical helplessness that irritation sometimes appears, attempts to call for order, to force respect.

But, first of all, teenagers themselves need respect. Not for the fives and good behavior. Each of them at this age performs a uniquely complex and hard work – growing up. Through a thousand denials, he chooses his own path, forms his own world. And oh, how difficult it is.

The team of a private school is sure: honest, without flirting, respect will definitely turn into the same counter feeling. And this is an excellent basis for dialogue – this is the only way to build a school that a teenager will accept.

Swipe for teenagers has everything from interiors to a modern form of education, its director is convinced. Do you want to “destroy” the world and “zababahat” something of your own? Please, here are the paints in your hands – and go ahead. Therefore, there are bright walls in the corridors, in the classroom you can see the starry sky on the ceiling, computers are everywhere, and every second student has an individual curriculum.

Want to hang out with your friends like an adult? Please, here is a cozy cafe that is open until the evening. Drink a milkshake, eat meat in a pot, listen to music, celebrate your birthday with classmates – this is your space where you are treated with respect. Even to ruffy, even contradictory and sometimes not understanding himself.

The word “challenge” has been placed in the subheading of this chapter for good reason. Challenges are very important for teenagers, Elena Yurievna is sure. In dreams, all the guys are heroes! Leaders, winners, saviors of mankind. And the task of adults is to give them the opportunity to realize these desires. Confirm: yes, you are cool! Work hard, fight, dare – and victory will definitely be yours.

Swing Special Adult Schools

Who ensures the atmosphere of acceptance in a private school? A third of the teaching staff has a psychological education. These are both experienced specialists with serious practice, and teachers who have received additional specialized education. The psychologist in “Swipe” is not the one who takes a problem child by the hand, takes him to the office and “heals” there. This is an “ecological” adult, fully included in the daily life of the school. Together with everyone, he organizes events, participates in business games and helps to build an environment in which the guys stop hiding and hiding. An environment in which it is safe to make mistakes, show feelings, take responsibility.

In addition to psychologists, the following play an important role in the life of children: teenagers school life, are partners on the theater stage, academic supervisors their works, judges at competitions – real adult friends. Vzmakhov’s adults are a variety of people who passionately love working with children. Young and not so young anymore. As a rule, brilliantly educated, speaking foreign languages, addicted to many things, self-sufficient, successful. And with these people the guys live and work in the strongest partnership. It is clear that in such a team no challenges are terrible.

Business environment: a real step into the future

The high school in Sway is called the Business School. It’s not about making everyone an entrepreneur. Business here is understood as a real business, which the listeners are already busy with. It is for this that corporations, banks, stock exchanges, stocks, etc. exist in a private school. Applicants who have entered here are confronted with the fact that you are no longer schoolchildren, but top managers of enterprises, marketers, designers, SMM workers … Work, get profit and dividends.

The amounts on personal bank accounts are posted at the dean’s office (yes, that’s right – not at the teachers’ office). Late for school, didn’t do your homework, failed your exam – sorry, your rating has dropped. Successfully closed the session, brought the company to the top – the shares went up.

“This is where their teenage tricks, struggle with adults, “show off” go. What are they fighting for? For being adults. We say to each of them: welcome – that’s it, you’re an adult. Now come on, turn around. Didn’t do something? Sorry, this is not serious! For them, of course, it is very important and valuable. More mature people communicate with them on an equal footing – high school students, teachers, graduates.

Elena Morozova

Learn to work. Learn to win

Most often, business students “integrate” into those areas of activity that already exist in Swipe – they help make a website, maintain social networks, organize scientific conferences, decorate a building for holidays, etc. Or they can offer something of their own, which was not previously within these walls. The main thing is to prove the benefits of the new enterprise and your willingness to “invest”. During his studies, a teenager can develop in one direction, or he can change several areas in order to understand what he gravitates towards more.

Every summer, all Vzmakhov students older than 7th grade go to internships in St. Petersburg organizations and companies (in different years, Delovoy Petersburg, the Hermitage, and Kidburg were on the list). The younger ones are entrusted with the simplest functions, tenth graders work in completely adult roles, next to adults. Every week, following the results of the practice, teenagers write reports. Their curators in the company approve these documents and make their reviews. So everything is serious.

Freedom vs USE. How “Vzmakhovtsy” pass state exams with 90+

According to Elena Morozova, every fourth graduate of the oldest private school writes the Unified State Examination with 90 points or more without tutors. By what means is this achieved? Along with the basic subjects, the teenager has specialized ones, exactly those for which he plans to take exams. Say, if he chooses biology, he will receive not 60 hours, as it should be according to the program, but all 200 – and he will know this subject thoroughly. Did you choose chemistry or ecology as your future direction? The school will help organize work in a real laboratory: once a week, instead of lessons, a high school student will go “to the fields” – together with adult colleagues, to set up experiments, conduct experiments, etc. Naturally, in this area, he will become much more erudite than other guys.

Those who, on the contrary, have certain difficulties in preparing for exams, are accompanied by teachers almost individually, helping the child to understand where the failure is. Attention, memory, logic, attitude to certain topics – the problem can lie in each of these reasons.

But the main thing is that the Vzmakhovites know well what they want by the time they get to high school. And yet, as we saw earlier, they know how to work.

“Nerds are sometimes bullied in ordinary schools, but they are our favorites. They also respect the guys who are the most successful in project work or in the school theater. It is fashionable for us to study well, work hard, do everything in time.

Elena Morozova

It’s simply impossible at school… without a theater

We are sure that the school theater is a universal tool for working with the younger generation. Firstly, this is the very challenge: it is not at all easy to put on a real performance! Secondly, the scene provides an opportunity to try on various roles – heroic or tragic. To feel those aspects of life that are still hidden from schoolchildren and therefore intrigue them so much.

Everyone plays Swipe. Even three-year-old college students are preparing a whole performance for the New Year. In kindergarten and elementary school, as we have already mentioned, English theater is a compulsory subject. And, of course, the life of the Business School is inconceivable without performances. Every fall, for the birthday of “Swipe”, high school students prepare a “Presentation of Classes”. Behind the simple name lies a grandiose theater festival, which graduates remember for many years. It has nothing to do with school amateur performances: each performance is literally “suffered” and truly original and talented.

There are many more interesting things to tell about how one of the oldest private schools in St. Petersburg works with teenagers. For those who would like to study the Vzmakh experience in more detail, we recommend an interview with Elena Morozova and the website of the educational institution.

But the best thing is to see what we have talked about in person. Moreover, the Vzmakhovites are open: they invite children, parents, and colleagues to excursions and meetings.

How teachers in Russia quietly sabotage class hours or, on the contrary, force schoolchildren to come to them, while parents write refusals and explain the war with Ukraine to children themselves, the BBC found out.

Class hour “Talk about the important” according to the decision of the Ministry of Education of Russia should be held in every school the first lesson on Monday. The program was posted on the official website. Among the manuals, they also noticed a lesson about a “special operation”, the purpose of which was to convince children that the Russian military are heroes, and “Russian people” live in the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR, whom Russia helps.

When the scandal began to flare up, the manuals disappeared from the site, and then appeared in an edited form: all references to the war with Ukraine were removed from there.

True, Minister Kravtsov insists that the children will be told about the “special operation” anyway. It’s just that this topic was distributed over the lessons of the whole year.

“It was boring, and everyone was sleeping”

“On the first day, I was so emotional to the children who came home from school, and gave out: “Today our president started a war with Ukraine! “Both were horrified. How? Why? He went crazy? I honestly didn’t know how to explain it all to them,” recalls the mother of two daughters Marina (name changed).

Since then, the girls had to convince their friends about Ukraine and see how their father and grandfather were almost shouting at each other because of the war. Grandma and grandpa were “specifically hurt by the TV,” as Marina says. Because of this, she had to explain to children how propaganda works.

“They see what’s going on, hear the conversations around. They come with questions. I always thought that if there was a question, it should be discussed. Any. Even if it’s difficult. I try to give them information,” Marina told the BBC. photo from Bucha. No overwhelming emotions. Just facts about the destroyed Mariupol, about the fact that rockets are flying at ordinary houses where ordinary people live. And that this is all, in fact, war crimes.”

September 1 in a Russian school: national symbols abound

Now their school raises the flag to the Russian anthem every Monday morning. From the kids, however, and do not require to come. And Marina’s eldest daughter often skips this line, and so far she has not been punished.

“If the SVO (“special military operation” – as the Russian authorities and propaganda call the invasion of Ukraine) is discussed, Ukraine, or they will strongly emphasize the greatness of the motherland, the importance of serving it and supporting some “friends”, whatever they no matter what, then I will write to the class teachers and in parent chats, “Marina decided about” Conversations about the important. But for now, the main thing that her children tell about class hours is that it was very boring and everyone was sleeping.

“The teacher said and everyone believed it never works”

The end of the story Podcast

Formally, these training manuals of the Ministry of Education are just a recommendation. They are optional, so some teachers have chosen to avoid propaganda in the classroom. For example, a teacher of Russian and literature Yulia from Novoaltaysk.

Before the start of the school year, the principal of her school told the staff about the new class hours. He presented them as the return of the educational function of the school, the loss of which with the collapse of the USSR in the teaching environment, many are sad.

“The director said that these “Conversations about the Important” is a return to the upbringing of a moral personality,” Yulia told the BBC correspondent. others. The lessons are developed verbatim, everything is spelled out: even the correct answers of the students. For example: “What do you associate the word Motherland with?” And one of the correct answers: “With your native village”! child psychology, that’s how he studied 50 years ago.”

These lessons are not suitable for today’s children, Yulia is sure. “The teacher said, and everyone believed – it never works. You need to pose a problematic question, you need to make them think so that they themselves come to these conclusions. Then they will learn them.” Moreover, it is impossible to impose clumsy propaganda on teenagers: “They feel very keenly when they are given only one answer, and immediately begin to argue.”

Raising the flag and class hour about the “special operation”: what’s new for Russian schoolchildren from September 1?
“I’m leaving now for 15 years”: how students “give up” teachers for anti-war words

At literature lessons Yulia often discusses anti-war works with children. “This is poetry from the time of the Great Patriotic War, where the main motive is that this will never happen again, this is the Teaching of Vladimir Monomakh:” kill neither the right nor the guilty. are discussing.”

According to Yulia, most of the teachers at her school have decided to quietly sabotage Talk About Important. Some allow children to sleep an extra 45 minutes and do not mark absentees. Others have a regular class hour where class matters are discussed rather than politics. Or they offer the children to go about their business, while they themselves check notebooks or prepare for lessons.

“Someone [does this] because of an anti-war position, someone because they have a workload of 50 hours and they don’t have time for it, someone just doesn’t want to bother,” Yulia explains. “And in general Altai teachers are not enthusiastic about Moscow’s initiatives.In the region, the caste of teachers has a negative attitude towards the Ministry of Education, to the fact that in Moscow and St. It doesn’t add love to the authorities, to the system.”

The standard 18 hour teaching salary is unsustainable. Therefore, teachers take at least 24 hours of work per month. “And even more, who will pull out how much,” says the teacher.

By the way, teachers don’t get paid extra for Talking About Important Things. An hour of work has been added, but since it’s not officially a class, they actually have to teach it for free. Tatyana (name changed) is a Russian language teacher from Udmurtia – on this basis, she decided not to follow the training manual.

“I don’t get paid for this hour, no one signed a contract for extracurricular activities with me, and I can lead the class hour as I see fit. I think it’s more important to talk with children about growing aggression, about what labels, prejudices are where they come from, how to resist aggression in society,” Tatyana told the BBC.

From a legal point of view, it will be difficult to punish her for this, she argues, but in practice – they can try. “The director of the school is United Russia to the marrow of his bones and a performer, but I hope that he is not a cannibal,” the teacher summed up.

“The child expects repression”

“Talking about important things” is optional not only for teachers, but also for students, because this, again, is not a lesson. The trade union “Alliance of Teachers” insists on this, which has published instructions for parents on how to refuse this subject – write an application addressed to the director.

Teacher Tatyana from Udmurtia is also the mother of a high school student. She wanted to write just such a refusal from class hours, but her 16-year-old daughter forbade her.

“The child wants to be safe and expects reprisals. The atmosphere [in the classroom] is such that it’s easier to come and serve time,” explains Tatyana.

Relations at school are really tense because of the war. Ivanovo, he said at school: “Glory to Ukraine!” It was at recess, but the teacher still heard, shouted at the boy that he had no right to speak like that, and turned the whole class against him, Peter says. Other children were almost ready don’t fight him because of those words.0003

It came to the father’s litigation with the director, who nevertheless apologized to Peter. And in his son’s diary, Peter wrote a message to the teacher in Ukrainian: “If this happens again, I will seek your dismissal! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes! And follow the warship!”

In order to protect the child from conflicts, Peter now teaches him that it is not necessary to “blow out” one’s opinion: “I’m saying at the moment: there are quite a lot of stupid and intoxicated people with propaganda. You can have your own opinion, but you need to hold it back a little.”

In September, my son came home from “Conversations about the Important” and told his dad that there was “complete patriotism” in the class. The teacher said that Americans live only for money and they “have no nation,” and also quoted Putin: “We, as martyrs, will go to heaven, and they will simply die.”

On the other hand, Peter’s eldest daughter – she studies at another school – had no propaganda at Conversations, but discussed entering an institute, a vital topic for eleventh-graders.

Now Peter is going to write to his son’s school refusing these classes, as advised by the “Alliance of Teachers”.

Disagreeing loners and nodding parents

To avoid the weekly “talk”, the student at least needs the intercession of a parent. Tenth-grader Lisa from Voronezh wanted to skip this lesson on principle – and everyone around demanded that she come.

Arriving at the school for the second lesson, Liza said bluntly that she hadn’t overslept and hadn’t come because it was an optional class. Then an unpleasant conversation took place with the class teacher and the head teacher: they said that these lessons instill patriotism, that extracurricular activities are also obligatory for students, and answered objections: “You will have the right to say this when you are of age. ” Lisa’s mother, who supports the war, said the girl yelled at her and tried to take away the laptop.

Most of the girl’s classmates simply ignore “Talk about important things,” she says. The topic of war is not interesting to them at all. “Although I don’t understand how it can be uninteresting,” adds Lisa. “This word is not even appropriate in this context, because what is happening is important, you can’t help but think about it.” At the beginning of the war, she quarreled with a friend who spoke in favor of the war and insulted the Ukrainians.

And just a few days after the conflict at the school, tenth graders were sent a permanent schedule for the semester. “Conversations about the important” was not there. Surprised, Lisa asked the class teacher, and she said that there would be no more class hours: “Or maybe we’ll put the seventh lesson.”

“There are many examples when the one who was in the minority remains right. This supports it,” says Lisa.

Elena from St. Petersburg (name changed) also feels in the minority. Or rather, alone. She has two children: seven and twelve years old. And she is determined to keep them out of propaganda.

“The parents at the meeting nodded nicely and took notes. No one raised the issue except me,” she gets upset. Elena said that her 12-year-old son is not required to come to the flag-raising. She was told that attendance is mandatory and “this is federal law.”

In fact, there is no law, and Elena understands this: “There is no need to hold me for a sheep. If every citizen knew what he had the right to, we would live in another country.”

She feels lonely not only among other parents. After the outbreak of the war, she quarreled with her relatives: they supported the invasion, and even her Odessa father stopped communicating with Elena.

“I explain to children that in a country where a dictatorship reigns, they are not lucky: their mother is a complete liberal,” she says.
