What do you think, guys?
What does the modern educational system propose for our kids?
What does it teach them? To be free and intelligent or to be obedient and dependent?
It's a question for many hot discussions now, especially among unschooling families (others just don't see any problems as a rule).
But what does the last news show us?
The Ministry of Education held a final board meeting. Among the goals for 2026-2027 is the full implementation of a three-point assessment for behavior: "exemplary/acceptable/unacceptable." Starting in September 2026, a pilot program will be implemented in 10 schools in each region. Starting in September 2027, all schools in the country will implement the assessment. The assessment will be included in the certificate.
The Ministry of Education believes that schools are obligated to educate, and teachers must have the tools to do so.
But, let's remember!
Behavior assessments were abolished long ago, and for good reason. They measured obedience, not maturity.
The conflict isn't in the assessment itself, but in who sets the standard. Education through dialogue and education through judgment are very different schools.
I think the child must have a right to disagree with anything in educational process, he has to have a right for his own opinion. Without documented consequences or a ruined life.
Guys, are there in your schools behaviour marks?
Do you support them?
