Thread: Каникулы строгого режима

Да какие они воспитатели? И потом, у нас каждый человек на счету.

What kind of guides (mentors maybe. If you know the word tell us) do you think my men could make?

И потом – besides, in addition to that

быть на счету - a set expression

to have limited amount of something, men in this case.

Every one is busy doing his job. There’s no extra man to spare.

Thanks AlexB!

А, да, еще бескозырочки. (what is that?)

Пилотки! (dic says forage cap but she appears to have something else in her hand)

А пионеров-то отменили!

Да пусть лучше пионерами будут, чем наркоманами.

thanks!

Ей повезло, т.к. у новых воспитателей педагогическое образование.

What she had in her hands is "пионерский галстук" (a sort of kerchief or scarf which you can see on the girl from the last photo by ВарраВа). This is why the man said "А пионеров-то отменили!".

В правой руке у нее точно пилотки, на галстуках не было кисточек. =)

But what does that have to do with пионерский галстук & Пионерская пилотка that she was showing them?

Wow, thanks a lot!

So, she's holding a пионерский галстук and he says something like "they did away with the pioneers." What пионеры is he talking about?

It's a name of communist boy&girlscouts in USSR. All (almost) children at Soviet schools were "пионеры" at some interval of age. They called also "юные ленинцы".
