According to representatives of the Ministry of Health, the department has received a large number of requests on whether there will be voluntary vaccination against COVID-19. In response to this, the press service once again recalled that taking the drug developed by the Russian Research Institute. Gamalei will be held on a voluntary basis. The same idea was confirmed by the press secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov:

There can be no talk about compulsory vaccination of Russians against coronavirus: everyone will make a decision for himself.  

However, representatives of the All-Russian Trade Union of Education carefully studied the laws governing health protection. In particular: Federal Law No. 157-FZ of September 17, 1998 “On Immunoprophylaxis of Infectious Diseases” within the framework of the National Calendar of Preventive Vaccinations, approved by order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated March 21, 2014 No. 125 n. In accordance with it, the main measures are taken to prevent influenza and acute respiratory viral infections. 

Note that the employee has the right to refuse to carry out preventive vaccinations, referring to Article 20 of the Federal Law of November 21, 2011 No. 323-FZ “On the basics of protecting the health of citizens in the Russian Federation.” 

However, there are also risks of spreading the disease if the employee is not vaccinated. In the event that the employer considers that such a situation violates safety requirements, and also endangers the life of not only the employee, but also the students, then he can refuse to hire him or suspend him from performing work. These conditions are in article 76 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and article 5 of the Federal Law of September 17, 1998 No. 157-FZ “On the immunization of infectious diseases.” 

A similar logic can be applied to the situation with the spread of a new type of coronavirus infection. 

The USE-2020 in chemistry impressed the students and teachers with its complexity. How did it happen that the graduates were unarmed in the battle with the exam tasks?

Back in 2015, the exam consisted of 40 questions. To get 100 points, you just had to learn the school curriculum and solve the bank of tasks “to the holes”. The first bell rang in 2016, when a trick appeared in the penultimate problem. In 2017, the first part changed dramatically, and by 2020 we were steadily expecting a new feature in task 34 and watched webinars from FIPI in anticipation of a spoiler. But … it turned out to be not so simple.

In fact, the tasks did not become more difficult, they required more effort and time. 

Let’s compare the questions: 

“From the proposed list of elements, select two that are capable of exhibiting an oxidation state of +5”

and

“From the proposed list of elements, select two that have the same difference between the highest and lowest oxidation states.”

In the first case, you just need to choose the elements based on your knowledge, and in the second you should already apply them in practice, that is, make a mini-calculation.

Almost every assignment has undergone similar changes this year. This could not but affect the time that needs to be spent on solving each problem. The students had to spend not one minute, but three minutes on each question. As a result, the child began to stress because of the feeling that he was not in time, and this led to mistakes due to inattention. 

Colleagues after the exam said in one voice: “The children knew how to solve these tasks, but they did not have enough time.” 

After a fight, they don’t wave their fists, but the conclusions should be correct. Any experience, even a negative one, has positive aspects. After analyzing the mistakes, I formulated the basic principles of preparing for the exam in chemistry, which will help to successfully pass the subject next year.

1. Offer the student as many tasks as possible that motivate reasoning, give the opportunity to apply knowledge. For example, ask how you can “slow down” the hydrolysis of ferric chloride. The child will have to use a theory from several topics at the same time. This is good for the brain. 

Now I am releasing my workbook for preparing for the Unified State Exam, which pays special attention to tasks of this kind.

2. Conduct mock exams every month, with a strict time limit. The trainings will help the children not get confused on the exam and complete all tasks on time. And you will be able to notice those who are not doing well and give them advice on how to solve the test faster. 

3. Psychological trainings. Ideally, they should be carried out by a specialist, but if this is not possible, then try to morally support the child throughout the school year, and before the exam, tell us in detail how the USE goes. Very often children have questions, but they are afraid to ask them. Some guys are not even aware of the possibility of passing the exam on a reserve day in case of poor health on the exam. Explain to students that this is normal. If panic has taken over the mind, then nothing good will come of it. 

Commentary “YaKlass”: “Organize a systematic https://123helpme.me/hero-essay-example/ repetition. At the beginning of the year, it will be especially important to remember everything that happened in the past (or even the year before last). So that the repetition of the material does not turn into a sophisticated torture of blushing, silent students, for the adaptation period, use the online simulators “Yaklass”. You can choose the proposed test or compose your own – at first, 5-7 tasks are enough to assess how well the students know the topics. An option for the “Pro” level is to create your own tests using the item editor. Load tasks from the system, attach your designs, provide links to videos to familiarize yourself with the topic. Such diverse work will help to quickly cut knowledge and highlight pain points. ” 

The role of the teacher has changed. In the current situation, we are not the only source of knowledge, the guys have the Internet, and they themselves can find the information they need. Our task is to orientate correctly. 

1. Prepare for students a list of sites, YouTube channels, blogs on Instagram and names of “Tiktokers” who can be trusted.

2. Implement the flipped class, but help the students. Ask them to disassemble the topic on their own using a specific YouTube channel and articles from N. 

3. Spend time with life hacks: Explain how the same task can be solved in three different ways. Let the student decide for himself which option is more convenient for him.

And most importantly, remember that now the child most of all needs your support, it is thanks to her that he will come to a high result!

Kurgan Oblast has long been a hero in education news. They write that teachers are fleeing because of low salaries, that the personnel shortage is enormous. It is reported that due to the lack of teachers in the new academic year, some schools will transfer to distance learning. New trend: will poor regions now use cheap distance? The opinion of Mikhail Kushnir, a teacher, a member of the Board of the Education League.

I don’t know what the position of Kurgan education officials looks like in the initial version, but the logic of their behavior is clear: a figure can help get out of the situation not only with quarantine, but also with a shortage of teachers. Does this mean that education will become cheaper?

It all depends on what is meant by the word “education”. If the pumping process for the exam, then of course. But the big question is, is this a productive goal and is it important in an age of information overload? If we consider education as a conscious assimilation of the world, building a personal idea of ​​it, then distance and number are not a hindrance, but a previously impossible help for education in modern conditions. The motivation to memorize what can be learned from any iron at any time is rapidly falling. And neither digital nor distance learning is able to force to study anything. Only a very stubborn teacher can push forcibly and only in person. 

It is a little pleasing that not only in Russia, the process of mastering numbers at school is extremely slow. Because the pedagogical tasks remain old, for which it is not very necessary. And only quarantine has created fundamentally new conditions, in which it is impossible without numbers. It means that it will no longer be possible to simply slow down – it’s time to rethink.

The figure blurs the boundaries of schools, washes out of them bureaucracy and hack, sets completely new tasks for teachers. Like any revolution, unknown, new horizons. Snatching the negative and waving it around, hiding your own fears behind it is logical and understandable.
