issues of education in the family or at school at the
institute, the main thing is you parents and
teachers and the schoolchildren themselves,
we have talked about this more than once in our
programs. This time
Sergei Solovyov’s interlocutor was Archpriest
Alexander Men. Due
to the nature of his activity, Father
Alexander has to deal with
many people of different educational backgrounds of
different ages of different social
status,
having a higher secular and theological
education,
graduated from a theological academy,
being the author of many books published
abroad, and here, Father Alexander himself
does a lot of educational work,
so his thoughts on the problems of
education, the level of pedagogical
training in today's universities, what a
teacher and mentor are in the ancient and
modern understanding, they became the topic of
the conversation offered to you;
this is called teachers in a different sense
of the word,
but you understand
the way when Christ is called a teacher,
the meaning of this term and
this is a mentor, a
mentor, this term was not invented by
contemporaries of the Gospel events,
mentors were called very many people
who
were supposed to bring people and
strengthen, root among people some
higher spiritual values, these were not
information transmitters, a teacher today is an
information transmitter whose information
can easily be replaced by a rowland computer, which
will test his knowledge and provide
him with a block of information of some kind, some people
think that teaching at school comes from
transmissions information is
still up to therefore they also say education,
this is usually meaningless phrases
because we believe that the
spiritual life and spiritual life of
a person is secondary in the first place
some political social and
economic factors we abandoned
man we came to a certain
robot like a creature we he was
trained in this way, we got what we
wanted and Pierre says that we fought
for this, he said that’s why
in drama school this is only part of the
overall drama, a
society that has abandoned the
most important spiritual values ​​that
humanity has had for many
centuries and millennia and will
always have will have this is
impossible to change, we just got into
this period and
I’m not even talking about the fact that it
should be a teacher, for some reason we
believe that an artist and a musician should
be a person with artistic talent to the
extent of musical talent, and a teacher
can be any choice people,
pedagogical institutes
are happening, we won’t start at all at the
conservatory, a person deprived of the services
of the conservatory will not be accepted,
but this can be checked, a specialist can easily
check how to check if he has the gift of
being a
teacher in a capital letter, a person
who will give his soul and also a
very special matter, this calling, this
ministry, this is
me I would say almost
on the verge of monastic service,
it’s not for nothing that the
monks came with such wonderful
teachers for centuries now,
too, because without having their own
family, they put all their love into
these children,
this is very understandable, I mean, the
mentor conveys a piece of his soul, and the fact that they convey
information is it’s a secondary matter
because the information is all encoded in
books and in other things, you
need to teach how to think, you need to teach how to
feel and teach how to love, but for
this you need to first of all think like that,
feel and love if the teacher doesn’t
love his students, unfortunately I
know such students. for example, from school, the
darkest memories of my school, although
there were
good teachers whom I remember today,
but overall
this war was gloomy, but
I graduated from school after Stalin’s death and
said I’m in a hurry, any profession of mine is just
not a teacher, it’s difficult to be that they
hated you so much, married you hated their
teachers and it
was hard for them with us,
that is, for the doctor and the CSA style, an
old saying
is obvious 1 to this,
first the spiritual feat of those people can
be said too strongly, but there is no
way out,
on the other hand, I will quote the
great Russian teacher Ushinsky
who said that atheistic
education is headless freak
headless freak and they are full of what
page on so he said
why because a
child and teenager is exceptionally sensitive to the
problem of the
eternity of death, the meaning of why
all this is not for nothing that there are so many
suicides at an early age they train
when a child and teenager is faced with
reality and cannot reconcile with it
more mature people have already become coarse
and
in general you need to have something to
give to children,
this is very difficult
because there must be some kind of living
tradition,
in fact, this is a pedagogical
institute
[music]
should be, but not a sanctuary, this is
somewhat vulgar and the Chinese are the
place where it happens the
spiritual formation of young people,
students,
but this is not at all similar to what
there are, they are completely different,
yes, this can be observed in an Indian ashram
where people live and search together, because this is a
very special one, it should be
taken out of the system of other universities because
this is
the future of the institute everything is laid down not from the hands of
very special people,
I am not a teacher and therefore I cannot
give any recommendations here,
I am convinced that the
education of spiritual qualities in
pedagogical schools and institutes
is of paramount importance, a task
much more important than just remembering
them
somehow a set of
information about the history of teachers who does not
pass it is boring it is dry it is
uninteresting
especially since her life has
always been distorted in my memory the
history of pedagogy is very closely connected with the
religious church spiritual tradition
almost all the major teachers one way or
another grew out of it to you you can’t it’s just
this profit
but naturally Sushi pies,
note that he was a surgeon, he was also a teacher and
his books were questions of life, the diary of an
old doctor, he reflected, he was an
atheist, he came to faith, and he writes about all
this on him, this problem of
inner life, and a teacher who does
not have this and we convey nothing
clearly you and the teachers are spiritually poor
who had nothing to say,
they translated into waves a history teacher,
he came through why you were dragging a
notebook in your pocket,
reading from it what was written in the
textbook, and since our textbook was
rewritten from the pre-revolutionary one, but with a
distortion of nectar, who was an hour very
funny brought old share tion
textbooks for saw how he was but I’ll bring in
he was a good person it was the time of
Stalin he was afraid to retreat the truth was there
were no such monsters it could and gave birth to this
so-called education
what should you do after all you have drawn a
completely vicious circle a
vicious circle
we always have the answer it is clear that it is
necessary to
think through and prepare a completely new
structure of
teacher education that
included
those spiritual values ​​that are found in the
Christian tradition and in general in the
spiritual tradition of humanity,
including practice,
practice,
but it is very difficult, it is very difficult, it is
also difficult, you know how to restore the
Cathedral of Christ the Savior, blow up and this
it was hard, and to rebuild it
will be even more difficult to
blow up
pedagogy may not have been easy, but
to restore it is 10 times more difficult, but it
seems to me that we are talking about a completely
special world that must be created,
including
auto-training, some psychological
exercises,
some moral ones,
looking for lessons is not it’s just a set of ethical
standards that can be read and thrown out of
your head,
here I am again, something like a monastery, but in
some other way
such a practice exists before it
exists and the
appropriate people can study it and
extract something from it,
this practice of
spiritual schools of spiritual schools and
at different times and in different countries that
existed for a
very long time and are expensive, but something needs to be done
now, starting from today,
Perry,
we don’t have the opportunity to remodel the pedagogical institute, there are
many talented people who are ready to
do this,
many of them simply don’t know the way, they are
necessary, believe me he should create some kind of
experimental base in parallel with the pedagogical institutes;
this experimental base
will have a very small
composition of people with enough
insight who can accept
into this group the
studio applicants who have a
love for children, skill,
talent, this musical talent of the
giver, but who do not yet know how to
use it and
then there should be a
new education for us on the basis of
existing traditions, there is no urgent need to
study it, you can study
such blocks, there are blocks, and
they are quite wide, these are
the blocks of today’s Western, not all
the boards are there too, it’s like
maybe someone in college and
pre-revolutionary
this requires the
prompt, persistent and effective
work of a small group of people who are
sufficiently oriented in this, they
create an experimental college and they
graduate the first group of their own kind and
then it begins to multiply, but
first you need to create some
kind of plan,
you need at least one leader with
talents
but we have such a fate, many
teachers appeared whose earlier
if one takes on all this and
introduce him because of the Soviet blackmail,
you will get acquainted with this block of this
heritage and you need to quickly assimilate it
because there is little time to rush,
we will need to assimilate quickly, but if you don’t
assimilate, then we will we will return again to the same thing, it
will be the same,
well, if I don’t know how correctly I am asking
this question or not, correctly
formulated now,
I was just
thinking about those spiritual values,
eternal values ​​that appeal to
the church,
if these values
are set to
achieve the goal, put
at the forefront of, say, school
education you what they were talking about,
after all, without God,
religion will not work in school, but it should not be
imposed, and by the way, it should not
be in the state at all, not because it
is something intimate, a deep spiritual
God does not promote himself, and without
engaging in agitation,
one must not
put pressure on a religious person the idea of ​​​​helping
him that he has opened up to this, also
how to teach a person to think, teach a
person to work, teach a person to
love, this is also in him, also teach him to
hear the eternal, hear the word of God, everything
needs to be taught, the
question of
two quiet schools is very relevant, but I
think that the secondary type of the general
catastrophic situation
of the other There is no way out, such as creating
experimental colleges
in which
religious values ​​would be accepted as
the basis, but these were not theological schools, they
were not even in
church schools,
saintly
spiritual educational centers, let's put
the pies into perspective, he was not a theologian,
and he was not a church leader. a
religious man and a great
teacher, and
now to collect his experience, the practice of Russian
religious thinkers and teachers, there are a
lot of very interesting, it was all
thrown away somewhere, for
example, a
Russian religious figure, the goods
were not there, the book, the art of argument,
brilliant to it, well, it probably disappeared somewhere
because for immigration I
haven’t seen his last name since it wasn’t published in the
20s, it’s clear that he died,
he was a specialist in logic, a professional logician, which
means the first thing is to promote and
convince everyone to open it depends among
government agencies, although this is a very
thankless task, it is necessary to
introduce a little pluralism into school
education 1 without pluralism in school
education, it has already reached a dead end for the second
time, pluralism has appeared, it is necessary
to create experimental schools, not
elite, there are no experimental ones, and this is the
first springboard, but what kind of experiments will be there
and the experiments are a completely
different concrete question,
this is a working question, as they said about the
talent of the teacher,
this is not create it not or and save it I
wanted to ask how try to define
it and
it’s intuitive it’s impossible with
my eyes
if a person loves children so understands them
they understand him and he may not do so
because there is some kind of feedback
between them this is already the original
prerequisite
I have pedagogical talent
musical ear to determine it is easier for them there
are clear criteria
here it is somewhat blurry but an experienced
person I think can quite determine
if we are talking about children I would also add
such a feeling of childhood that a person
is worth and there is a lot here in the direction of a
person’s will he check must be strong-willed
collected
rich inner
he must children must understand that
he has something to get because the
teacher still somehow replaces
parents at this moment with parents
is
some kind of cosmic figure for the
child and then another thing is the
teacher’s love not only for children but for their
subject which is infects this
fascinates this topic life poetry
science whatever this should also
worry teachers this is also not always the
case
the structure of schools is pathologically
ugly and oh we need to change this you think
paleotti here you can’t
limit yourself to some small ones here you
need to globally change only the pipes and
on the basis pluralism schools like this
all over the world all over the world, too, in the same region, there
is also a difficulty, there are also shallow,
stupid and
weak teachers, but a person who
wants to give a normal
education to children, he has a choice and he
can assign him to a school
that corresponds to the
child’s range of interests
We also have no choice, everyone is combed with the
same brush from the Pacific Ocean to the
Baltic Sea
among
all the peoples and races that inhabit our
gigantic country,
we are in a given house, in general, the same thing, you
have never seen anything like this in history
so that on one and a half continents
where
dozens and people are represented
all hundreds of languages
here are the traditions here some traditions of you
to our era other traditions you just got divorced
people who had a primitive communal system the day before yesterday
people
whose writing of us began 500 years
before the baptism of Russia and we give everyone generally
one program that only no one can come up with
step Lev banish could not
think of such a crazy idea those
who create schools should attract
talented people there they should work according to the
principle, as I already said, the conservatory
or there the literary institute they even catch,
identify, as they said in the worst years,
identify people with pedagogical talent
they should rummage through kindergartens
all sorts of police rooms where
people work, young girls, I work with
children and
find people all over the country who
have the gift of love and understanding of a
child, then concentrate them and
start working with them, of course you
have to, you don’t have to be proud
to bring in some foreign experience
there are very interesting schools
in Switzerland, there was one such
pastor who set up schools in nature, all this
was very high, it was put by her
porters Gandhi and many others, an
experiment in such a lot and they are often
quite an excellent result,
of course
we cannot copy anything our
conditions ourselves, but
at least partially pluralism of the school it is already
beginning a little bit we will wear a face a
little bit the second creation of special
experimental schools of a deep
spiritual and intellectual
periodic level
the use of foreign experience and the experience of
classical traditional
religious church
similar
literature and practice this is
how it all looks I am sure that there
is no other way
probably in this In case, a lot
will depend on the family because the
father or mother will choose which school to send the child to, and
this will be stretched out a few more, but
here, on the other hand, a
certain pattern will work here
because people will be able to deepen their
tradition, which they seem to only have about
grew up in a family they have certain
interests some circle of spiritually late
eat they send children to a similar school
and it’s already deepening it’s
so to speak there will be some kind of feedback
quickly too quickly nothing
can be done here quickly you can raise
calves rabbits but not children but not a
generation of
fruit flies can be raised very
quickly while
humans are becoming more and more complex and
children are now very dramatic,
they
feel they absorb from the air
this utilitarianism that was instilled in us as a
product of materialism,
materialism begins with philosophical
attitudes and then turns into
practical ones and in the end the sensual
material becomes glam everything
else is not needed, but this one avenges itself
because with such an attitude, man and
the material are solved, it slips out of his
hands because he becomes centrists,
in the wake of God, he works trying to snatch, in
general, all this is the path to a fall to a
crime
to decomposition
when we talk about ideals then we are
already talking about things that are intangible, not
feelings,
but with pure materialism,
if there is nothing in the world except matter of
force and it moves in time and
space, as they say, then
what can be the
ideals?
You are a drug addict, this is a process, you are a robber, this is a
process, you are nobly everything the processes
that happen for the universe are not
indifferent, they are the same, there is
value,
no good does not call, God does not give everything as a
material thing, and now we see
things with our eyes, a sensory microscope, we see things,
crayons in a telescope, we see or through a
radio telescope, distant things, but spiritual things,
as he can only understand with the help of
the development of the spirit in ourselves and in slavery we
are one of the important means of developing the spirit
when the spirit does not develop spiritual things
gradually become for us the same as
for the deaf music we are in this state
today father Alexander who
were your parents and
what role did they play
but my father was an engineer, the chief
engineer of a factory,
constantly busy with his own affairs, but he was a
very honest man, very
efficient and devoted himself
entirely to work, and
therefore, more like you communicated with your mother, a
person you are God and faith of great
optimism,
such vitality, her sister, she was a
specialist in defectology
will help [ __ ] children accepted
mental retardation
no avatar no water they were Christians
bloc convinced in the most difficult years that's why
they raised them at a
young age
like that and then I perceived it myself as
every person should perceive a meeting
with God personally I am
no longer only traditions but
inside me
