Once upon a time, on the walls of all Armenian schools, the young generation read the thoughts and sayings of the great Armenians about knowledge, education and the Motherland. I have no doubt that we all remember (perhaps by heart) the lines that accompanied us to school. During the last 10 years. This much came to mind early in the morning: "To know wisdom and wisdom, to know my language as a genius" "Whoever learns, he will win" "Science is power" "We are few, but they call us Armenians" "Language and faith are what keep the nation together, what unites them." "Although We are small and very limited in number... but many acts of bravery have been done in our world as well." "He who does not know his homeland cannot truly love it." "Without patriotism, there is neither a nation nor a state." "Death not known is death, death known is immortality." Today it's already school Today's gems of the "titanium of the mind" or "study well to live well" are posted in the corridors or at the entrance. In the first case, education aims to form a person. Second, education becomes a means of achieving personal well-being, exclusively for pleasure and stomach. The first one connects the child with his great values, roots and genes, the second one - returns him to the cultural and domestic framework of his personal life. Of course, living well is not a bad goal, but if the school only tells the child: study so that you can live well, then an important question remains unanswered: what are you studying for, if your knowledge does not create any obligation outside of you? By the way, it's always easy to manage a deleted memory and a truncated section. The school should teach a person not only how to live, but also what to live for, what to create, what to preserve and what to be responsible for. Actually, not only the texts written on the walls of the schools have changed, but also the message addressed to the person, which the school should form in the value system of the person. Basically, once they told you: know, learn, remember, keep, today - live well. The state that no longer tells the child for what (what idea) he should live well, sooner or later will have to face and answer: for which country or in whose homeland should that good life be? PS And the principals of those schools who removed the "corners of glory", the messages and pictures of Mashtots, Nzhdeh and Khorenatsi and other great men and heroes, after these hellish times pass, they will not only be ashamed, but they will live in disgrace. And they will be punished for their sins every day. H.H.G. It is a pity that the person who circulates the heaps of words I hear every day about education and knowledge has neither a normal education nor a phenomenal brain.
