O T K r s T O E P AND THE L M O

Mr. President! Mr. Prime Minister! Mr Speaker! Mr. Minister! An open letter to you we are led approaching adoption of the federal state educational standards (GEF) for the high school. This document outlines the broad contours of a grand educational building, which will be built in our country, and drawn some of his private parts. The devil is sitting in the little things - it is about them and we want to say.

The standard, which should be a framework of regulatory documents, not so many digits. That's why each digit is attracting взор.

4 (четыре) – именно столько обязательных предметов предполагается изучать старшекласснику (Россия в мире, ОБЖ, физкультура, индивидуальный проект).

six (6) - so much educational areas which combines all the other standard items a school, once granted the status of optional (Optional). Among them: the Russian language, literature, mathematics, algebra, geometry, computer science, history, physics, chemistry, biology, geography.

1 (one) - it is so many items from each educational region can choose a student (however, one can choose any area of two (2)). This means that select and Russian language and literature, or both algebra and geometry (not to mention, and computer science), or both physics and chemistry (and biology) is impossible. It is written in the GEF project.

Our perplexity is the fact of such a restructuring of the curriculum. From any point of view of the state cares about its future, is not beneficial:

- declare the object on the choice of official language, knowledge of which should be the main base skill of any citizen;

- declare object the choice of mathematics, constitute another language, without which "does not say" no other science;

- declare the object on the choice of history, without knowledge which can not navigate in the contemporary world, aware of their roots and the laws of social development, build a strategy for life behavior.

And finally, for a country like Russia, is not only unprofitable, but is against the rejection of compulsory study of older adolescents Russian literature, which in essence, represents Russia in the world and is the basis for the citizens safety.

Recall: in high school reading of Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Turgenev, Ostrovsky, Goncharov, Leskov, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Blok, Akhmatova, Bulgakov, Sholokhov, Platonov, Solzhenitsyn ... Without studying this literature (and this is an age in which there are high school students) can not build that identity, which is so smooth and beautifully narrates the standard. Open any of the goals of education in the standard - and you'll see that it is impossible to achieve, if not read books not thinking about the experience of life as reflected in the literature. Without a profound literary and wider - the aesthetic - education does not make any softening of manners, tolerance, no conscious relationship to the country (patriotism), or even increasing the competitiveness of the state as a whole.

We believe that you, as the country's leaders, who must calculate the risks of decision-makers should veto a radical reshaping the curriculum and translated in the status of objects at the choice of its main disciplines. We believe that we should convene a meeting of representative teachers of the country all levels of the parent community and students to discuss the future of education. Future of education - the future of each of us, our children and grandchildren and Russia in general.
