Private schools, interest in which is growing from year to year, however, remain relatively closed and incomprehensible to many potential customers. And one of the objectives of the exhibition – to give guests the opportunity to personally interact with the schools get all the information, and schools – to make contact with parents and children. As far as dashed those hopes, learned correspondent Vseved portal. Private schools began to appear in Russia a little more than a decade ago. Today in Moscow alone there are about two hundred, and all parents are increasingly looking not give a child in a school. Therefore, according to organizers, the need for a thematic exhibition is obvious. However, according to Anne Rybnikova, head of the department for work with educational organizations of the company Begin group", Schools initially reacted cautiously to the idea of a few.
Therefore, they are much less than it could be. But over time the number of participants should increase. – Probably, – Anna continues – we will hold this exhibition twice a year – spring and fall.

Nonschool Institutions
The process of establishing civil society actualizes the problem of the correlation of rights and freedoms. Social guarantees are considered a full human existence today as a prerequisite positive social development. This explains the attention of the psychological-pedagogical science to the problem of childhood and the issues related to social and legal protection of children. This is the relevance of course work. The problem of child rights and their protection, care about his life, development, education and upbringing of today become human, planetary. However, the situation of children in our country at the beginning of the XXI century is still alarming. Social deprivation, ie, failure, lack or absence of certain conditions, material resources for child survival and development, the current education system, educational opportunities their parents, state Health characterize the situation of children. An increasing number of children – victims of violence, abused by parents, educators, deteriorating health of children, their nutrition, rest.
This is determined by many factors: environmental, economic, social, demographic crisis, which together increase the number of children with physical, mental and intellectual development. The problem of protecting rights children, care about their lives, development, education and education is one of the pressing problems of society. This is evidenced by a number of international documents: "Declaration of the Rights of the Child" (1959), "International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights "(1960)," Convention on the Rights of the Child "(1989), and other questions of enhancing the individual as a subject of social self-defense, including every individual, children's groups and organizations in active socially meaningful activities in the education of the child a sense of national districts, cities, societies devoted to the study of NP Anikeeva, JK Vasilieva, GV Vinnikova, AO Zosima and others enough coverage in scientific literature are the issues of social policy on child protection (GP Smirnova, VG Arsenov, Y. Larin), the interaction between family and extramural institutions to protect the rights of childhood (PG Doronova). Now it is very urgent face the problem of employment of children after school. Uncommon to see teenagers in the doorways of houses or on the streets, "killed" his spare time by smoking, alcohol consumption, and even drug use. In many ways this is because children are unnaturally busy little socially important activities, poorly organized their leisure time, drastically reduced material, technological and spiritual benefits that traditionally belonged to the childhood and should belong to him.
Russian School
Eighteen months ago, according to the Russian school was dealt a mortal blow. Putting teachers' salaries directly dependent on the number of children in classes, pseudo-reformers hit the village school. After all, the extinct village children all less, and therefore class size low. In Mozdok district, the granary of North Ossetia, on the verge of closing schools in the villages of Garden, Malgobek. Close the school in the village Soviet, children carry out in the city. Many rural School moved into the category of "structural units" of schools located in larger settlements.
Children there will be special buses to transport. And this is our wild off-road! And if children live in mountain villages (and of the Caucasus, many of them)? In these parts, even in favorable weather on the mountain trails movement is not safe, what can we say about the autumn-winter period. And, therefore, travel to school will involve a fatal risk. Increasingly, in news coverage is reported injured in school bus accidents. Children die, become disabled. This is the closing price of the "uneconomic" schools! A total of 30 Mozdok district schools (8 schools and two boarding in the city and 20 rural). Previously, most of them give their children a secondary education. Now, 12 school districts (including boarding) are transferred into the category of "core", ie, nine-year.
A secondary education children can get at other schools, often located far away from home. This would deprive many students of opportunities to get a decent education. Even the village school Kalinin, built recently and is equipped with the latest technology (the merit of the former chairman of the village, now a deputy of the republican parliament Alec Budaychieva) in the discharge of "core", even though the village high in the school enrolled 256 children. But it was not enough. Closed and the only one in the area night school.
Summer and Winter Schools in Russia
We all know that the present level of school education in Russia is not the same and decreases with each passing year. The average home school student is not famous for wit and acumen, as evidenced by the level of students of our colleges and universities. However, in any, even very high school gifted students will always be striving for something greater than the bulk of their classmates. But sometimes a big problem these guys in a lack of like-minded peers who think with them "on the same wavelength," which makes them white crows in their school and leads to the weakening desire for learning. The best method to create for gifted pupils suitable medium of intellectual communication is the Winter and Summer Schools. Practice shows that constant communication with their peers, motivated by learning, gives children a push for a successful intellectual development, and often the strength to resist the negative impact of the world.
Currently, there are a number of a variety of summer and winter schools. Usually, they are held during school vacation at one of children's health camps. They differ from each direction. But in the main they are all alike – summer and winter school consists of learning and leisure. Classes tend to lead teachers Universities, graduate students, students, teachers leading schools. Sometimes a visiting school teachers are invited in addition to the permanent and so-called "guests" – experts in their fields, who give lectures and hold seminars with students.
As I mentioned, life in such schools is not limited to training. This is recreation, including sports, drama competitions, role-playing and mind games, KVN, and more. But perhaps one of the most important components of winter and summer schools – is an intense intellectual communication, which is so often lacking in everyday life. So, if you still do not know how to spend the holidays, you know – always can be both pleasant and useful time. While talking about it almost meaningless. The best way to know what the summer or winter school – is to go there.
