First replies seem too negative to me. I don't think that all the young people in Russia are drunk idiots. That's what I meant

I suppose it is the thing that only russian children can do... now i'm really proud of our younger generation!

Ben, Look at this link,
http://www.sv-agency.udm.ru/sv/school_sistem.htm
I know nothing about the schools there except what I've read and talked about with Russians. I chat with a teacher in Izhevsk, she stays up late preparing lessons, and seem dedicated to her job... Just like an American teacher, she is underpaid, but takes on tutoring jobs.

To the Russians, Americans go to school from age 5 (kindergarten) though 12th grade. The day is 7 hours long including a lunch break. Electives (cooking, woodworking, Band etc.) were an everyday event. In grades 6-8 everyone took printing/drafting, shop, cooking and sewing, boys and girls alike, so they would all get at least a basic clue. In high-school, I took cooking every morning 1st period. I'd get a bit to eat, a cup of coffee, lots of girls in the class and the teacher would let us go outside to sneak a quick cigarette. My father had a woodworking buisness then, so it was pointless to listen to a guy with 7 and a half fingers tell me about shop safety.

It's 12 years learning already in many Russians schools

I don't know, but I listened about this

They maked it because they want to take people in the army immediately after school

Обычным обезьяниченьем. Или ты хочешь сказать, что на Западе ввели 12-летнюю систему тоже, чтобы в армию народ забирать?

А я думаю так - сейчас в России некому служить, все или откупаются или "негодны" (тоже откупаются). Военные кафедры в институтах уже позакрывали. А теперь они делают это, что типа они переходят на западную систему, а на самом деле за этим стоит то, чтобы забирать людей в армию сразу после школы )) В России немного другие реалии %))

Dimitri,
Вы считаете, что цель реформы образования - замести побольше народу в армию?
Те, кто откупался - будут и дальше откупаться, на них реформы не повлияют
Я сама не в восторге от того, что творится в russian army, но ваши выводы...

Выводы, наверно, такие, потому что Дмитрий из Израиля.

You're questions are a load a goat turd.

?

He got all the answers long time ago and won't show up here anymore.

A friend of mine in Moscow and I got into a discussion about secondary schools a few weeks ago.

After discussing the subject at length, we figured the biggest difference was that in Canada, high school students are allowed to pick and choose the majority of their courses in the last two years of high school, whereas at his school, they didn't have any choices when it came to subjects - they did everything it seemed.

We had no choice as well. Just studied according to the curriculum.
