Yes, children develop with such speed that it is not easy for us to keep up with them. Not only the X and Igreks in the first grade, but the abyss of information, or, as it is now customary to say, the information received on the radio, from the TV shows, from the movies … History, geography, biology, astronomy – all these and many other sciences for today’s children where more specific than they were for us. We had a book and simple experiments in the lessons; At their services, the inconspicuous capabilities of television, tape recordings, cinema. A sixth grader, who has a three in all subjects, discusses, however, about the atmosphere’s physics and knows about the flora of the tropical seas details that his biology teacher did not dream of. One such troster reasoned in my presence about the following objects about the features, manufacture and use of foam, dosimetry – only then I found out that this is a science that determines the doses of radioactive radiation; Video telephone, telemetry-I don’t remember anymore, but there was something else. All this does not interfere with the boy really to remain a three -year -old: he does not really know.
I enthusiastically watched on TV the competition of the sixth and seventh grades. I don’t remember what this competition was called, it was organized interesting, the guys made an impression of stunning and touching. Like all kinds of children, they were worried, they were sick for their team, they were in a hurry to answer, sometimes they were mistaken, but basically answered correctly – the car was established by the correctness of the answer, so that everything was at a completely modern level. Questions were asked alternately from geography and music, biology and painting, history and architecture – the knowledge of the children was amazed.
