I disagree with that. I haven't met a single teacher who would agree with the education reform as it is in the West, where an academic with three higher degrees is confident that Beethoven is a dog. During preparatory courses, in a history lecture, the lecturer, while explaining that the system is now different from what it used to be, emphasized on almost every other word that he doesn't approve of the new form of education, that experienced teachers with thirty years of experience have been replaced by papers with pre-formatted questions that don't allow for any freedom of thought and the formation of one's own point of view.

They might not approve in words, but in reality... You know, I read the classics of pedagogical thought, Jan Amos Comenius, who is so often mentioned. Wouldn't it be great if someone actually acted according to what's described there? But in words, we have tolerance education, and in reality – indifference. And those who don't fit into the schemes are considered lagging behind. And also, modern teachers of pedagogy and psychology simply don't want to see the flaws in their views. They just don't understand when you tell them something new.

I remember during a session with a psychologist, I was asked to draw whatever I wanted. This was just a month ago. Suddenly, I had the idea of a deserted island, and I drew it. They told me that I was withdrawn, trying to escape to an island, and some other nonsense. Although, I just drew the first thing that came to mind. Psychologists amuse me in general. I don't even know exactly why, but the phrase "Do you want to talk about it?" always makes me want to laugh out loud:D

What are you surprised about? For you, as developed and intellectual people, the idea of zombification seems absurd. A herd always needs a leader, and the herd doesn't care where he leads them; we just want to break away from the herd, but it drags us along with it.
Even in a pack of wolves, there are often cases where the strongest male refuses to be the leader simply because he doesn't want to think about the pack; he likes it when others think for him.

By the way, read the book "The Strike of the Russian Gods"; you might not agree with everything, but it offers plenty of food for thought. I highly recommend it. I think it will be especially interesting for you, AlexeyPank.

Skif, maybe that's enough? There are intelligent people living in Siberia! They can give a run for their money to any new Russian "intellectual." Brainwashing is more natural for megacities because people live well there, and when you live well, your brain gets softened, and you don't care under whose banner you run.

"The Strike of the Russian Gods" - it's an interesting piece of literature, and you can agree with some of it, if it weren't for the fact that Freemasons or Satanists are lurking behind every bush, some arguments are too far-fetched, and the section about aliens ruling Ancient Egypt is, let's just say, puzzling...:eek: :smile32:

Was Wiz some kind of psychologist? A school psychologist? Someone with only 9 years of education? Well, what did you expect...
And the phrase "do you want to talk about it" has already become anecdotal; psychologists don't use it.

The psychologist was actually a certified one, with a higher education! It was with him that the story about the "Big Bang" happened. I agree, there are normal psychologists, but they usually call themselves either philosophers or don't call themselves anything at all. These psychologists don't learn about the human soul from books; they learn about it through personal experience. IMHO.

I agree, there are good psychologists, but they usually refer to themselves as philosophers or don't use any title at all.

That's funny... Because a philosopher at our university said a couple of months ago that psychology is a pseudoscience :D

These psychologists don't memorize the human soul from books; they learn it through personal experience. - that's the right approach! Or at least, they alternate between books and experience if they lack the latter. I'm for "maintaining standards"! Because sometimes a pseudo-psychologist gives such bad advice that people's lives fall apart...
Psychology is a pseudoscience - and how did he argue that?

I was riding the bus home from school today and overheard an old man lecturing a girl sitting next to him about how all languages originated from Russian, and how Christianity was invented by Jews to enslave the world. I didn't interfere, but honestly, I almost fell out of my seat. And he was saying it with such conviction, as if he had been there and seen it all himself. So the witch hunt and the search for an enemy continue! And everyone is looking for an enemy. And the students are the ones who suffer.

The story about my pedagogy term paper (my supervisor refused to accept it because she believes I didn't write it) has continued. The term paper was read in the dean's office and was recognized as "interesting." Tomorrow there will be a second round of the battle: Student vs. Professor. The dean's office is

The story about my term paper on pedagogy continues (my academic advisor refused to accept it because she believes I didn't write it). The term paper was reviewed in the dean's office and recognized as "interesting." Tomorrow will be the second round of the battle: Student vs. Teacher. The dean's office is on my side!

Good luck with this difficult task.

Regarding mourning:
Mourning for one person is, in my opinion, appropriate because Yeltsin was known throughout the country; some people had negative feelings towards him, others positive, but everyone had some kind of relationship with him. However, holding a day of mourning for the death of ten unknown people seems wrong to me. I don't know the deceased from Ufa (let's assume), I have no connection to them, and I won't mourn on that day. Yes, for the relatives, it's a day of mourning, but I'm not a relative; I've never seen them – and I'm supposed to grieve? It sounds a bit harsh, but that's how it is. Many people won't mourn; many will celebrate on that day (for their own personal reasons). And holding days of mourning for many unknown people – in my opinion – is wrong.

I am generally against the mourning organized for EBN. He should have been put on trial, not buried like a hero. I would rather mourn for unknown, but decent people, than for a well-known enemy. It would be just as absurd to organize mourning for the deaths of Hitler, Pinochet, and others, simply because many people know them.

The situation here is not so straightforward – some people (even on our forum) had a fairly positive attitude towards Yeltsin. I meant that mourning for a well-known and, according to a significant group of people, good person (and what if he really was a good person? Let's say he was some kind of artist? Recently, there was the anniversary of Tarkovsky's death, and his day of passing truly deserves mourning) is better than mourning for completely unknown people (how do you know they were good?). Although, the funeral for Yeltsin was indeed overblown.
