Let's try to continue our interrupted conversation about 
education issues. It is obvious that these problems - problems 
of society, because it is the methods of education depends on 
the relative percentage of gorillas in the streets and 
scientists at the institutes. This America, we do not open and 
not going further. For lack of exclusive data will operate 
well-known. 


                              ***

In the school curriculum and in general all over the disk of 
the cognitive literature, which refers to the student, is 
completely absent critical attitude to present the facts. Child 
states that something is true, but never explain why and to what

extent this should be trusted. In other words, modern
Students learn to believe. Growing up, he can choose another 
object for that of his acquired abilities - often one that is 
for faith and intended - horoscopes, Pyramid, Mysticism, 
okoloteologicheskaya boltologiya and the like. 

School and even higher educational program overloaded with 
unnecessary terms. In many subjects to study the terminology 
(sometimes not the only existing) is almost half of the 
presentation. These are the current program of biology and 
culture, places, and chemistry. [Juggling with words, new 
knowledge will get a little.] It is possible provide a 
justification, as will become easier to study literature 
nominative knowledge wiser young man. However, this blunder - 
good literature quickly and easily explains used in their own 
terminology. (I'll explain and I: "nominative knowledge "mean 
in my knowledge of the names that do not give a scientific 
point of view nothing. One and the same object can be called by 
many ways.) incomprehensible and the intricacies of language 
distinguishes it bad literature, emphasizing the ignorance of 
the author. Of course, imitating a good language, lzheumnaya 
book does not become scientific, yes and not all good 
scientists know how to write clearly. But the terminology much 
easier to teach reading on the subject, which I was convinced 
to experience.


Thus, in the school curriculum while teaching many subjects 
used optimally. Talking about Longer learning in the present 
situation is absurd. Such an increase may raise no knowledge, 
but only livestock unhurried mind doodles.

Recently in a radio officer was present from the Ministry of 
Education has received an unambiguous question from listener: 
"Where can I find the modern school curriculum?" The official 
standard thanked for an interesting question, uttered lots and 
empty, but the question did not respond. The conclusion is 
obvious: mere mortals know this spectacle is not allowed.
