How being a teacher made a real man out of me? | Pavel Alonov | TEDxLasnamäe


[applause]

school changed

or not changed

school perception

society for many

the school lost its halo

holiness and

evolved into

a regular

education and

education of new

Generations you know

it seems to me that so

even better is not worth it

expect a miracle from school

great achievements

magical

reincarnation school

amazes

conservatism

and traditionalism

at the same time it is time

over and over again survives in

rapidly changing

nine years

back I started working

teacher school for these

9 years my opinion about

my school

attitude

school life

several

once the first serious

the change went abruptly

and unexpectedly

2 flowed slowly and

unnoticeably

the first change of me

disappointed disappointed

knocked down 2 on the contrary

gave confidence

pleased the wings

the first change

associated with the well-known

myth that everything

children alike

beautiful and kind

sympathetic when you are

say your

students that all children

equally beautiful and

kind and responsive they

they do not believe in it

laugh and we are teachers

even with university

pores must themselves in

it is to believe so us

taught at the university

they say

parents but the children

find they are laughing they

they say in this

the case of you teachers

are not prepared for real

school and life approx certain

illusions and you know me

it seemed that

right and me students

they are philosophers

of education

theorists and you

change has not become

sadly

but in its

today’s

I wanted to speak

would stay at 2

change which

slowly

with me for 9 years

work in school

I understood a very important

the thing turns out

the teacher is very much

can learn from

their students

it’s not a secret to anybody

that today in schools

Estonia is very small

teachers

sex is even less

young people who

want to work in school

and ready to go

work as a teacher

school as a rule

reason for this is seen

relatively low

salaries of teachers and

still

the existing

perception of the profession

teacher as a certain

prerogative of women

there is no population

of course if you think

modern

categories

universal equality

between men and

women

then the presence of a conversation

in males and females

professions can

appear

discriminatory and

about sexist well

if for a second

think

conservatively

let us think and

what does any

profession of man

many

will say

but this of course

amount of wages

fee or or amount and

quantity

physical activity

but it seems to me that

male profession

does

responsibility or

level

responsibility

Well, here’s an example

the banker bears

responsibility for

other people’s money profit

programmer is responsible

for creating a new

software

providing welder

for quality

metal structures

but the teacher bears

responsibility for

present and future

children

which of these

the most professions

large

a responsibility

Sometimes it seems to me

that many men and women

do not go to the teacher that

somewhere inside themselves they

afraid this is it

it is on this

my

the belief that

this man’s profession

it is on this

is built today

but having overcome once

fear of

responsibility and

joining

teacher’s studio we

men do not even

present as

school and pupils can

we change how

many interesting

questions they ask us

will give

and how many

the most interesting

they will give us answers

let me

tell how

changed me

own students

some of them even

and the hall when I first

in the seventh grade and

took a class

leadership at their

many

my friends did not

associated with the school in

one voice shouted

pasha

do not give a stitch

relax show

who in the class you host

same man also jost to

hand on respect

children were called upon more

experienced colleagues and I in

their 23

covered by

youthful

maximalism

boundless

self-confidence

heeded advice

authorities and

public opinion

set before himself

the highest goals and

what he wanted to hide

recognition of success by all

my friends and colleagues

were right until then

until I have several times

Hardly did not encounter

with his pupil and his

class on the name of tribute

on 1 for it was the usual

slovenly

bored in the lessons

perform household

tasks from the rest

the same lazy shots

he was only

love of reading he

loved to read everywhere and

everywhere for example could

lessons in mathematics

read mythology

Vikings during

change when everything

other students

played smartphones

he was read out

adventure between

true and on the way

home holding a book in

He read poetry

poems

can he black humor

I do not know for all

this

he did not study well without

desire without desire

was on contact

loved to provoke

teachers seemed

would enjoy

conflict

situations in the classroom

very often to me

colleagues and

complained about his

laziness and idleness

and time after time I

ran up to the lady and

demanded from him

order and discipline

and we are

pushed against the wall

I will not help did not help

vaunted male

rigidity and

authoritarianism

he must confess he

was able to give me the selection he

not afraid not

stooped not for

word in your pocket and

every time we

faced and everyone

since I stayed with

a broken trough

began to decline

my sleek man’s

rigidity

self-confidence

the original was gone

maximalism I became

doubt oneself

know tu mere situation

helped how not you build

was the creation after

my next

raid on him alone

since u did not say pavel

Alekseich can be enough

yell at me

enough to pressure me

you hear at least once

me as a human being

you serve all

around

but not me you

my version of events is not

interesting i understand

what are you

responsible

a student can

appear extremely

adults but believe me

so it was

probably affected

Total

well-read and sharp

mind what is most important

I thought, I became

saved could look at

from the outside and

I thought that maybe

be really

to dare this vaunted

male stiffness and

stubbornness

to diplomacy on

child and

I got it myself

began to notice children in

school is the most important

I began to notice myself

among children and when I

shots good

attitude of buildings and

other students with

I understood one side

what is the secret

work in schools is

flexibility and

diplomacy on

child and

having understood this recipe

I have again

wings appeared

again wanted to live

recognition on the other

hand there was this

that’s self-confidence

is

what’s on the bottom

arrogance which

led me to the flesh until

the next

in six months in this

the same class

next story

I decided that the students

my class

beautiful actors and

that we necessarily

should participate in

day of music and

put clip on

scene of the school under the song

Muslim Magomayev

the wedding is in fact

I must admit that

pupils of my post

never anywhere

were afraid

overemphasis

to their own

people and I with them

a penny

consulted

I must say that

for me it was important

I make a splash

did everything in a quiet

from your colleagues you

it was necessary to obtain

this recognition I’m in then

time

I supervised

vanity

they want to help

children in overcoming

their own

complexes after

a few rehearsals I

I realized that at the hearing

I get

He grabbed his head and

began to think

features in children

no creative

started in despair I

he called his own

wife who by

first education

choreographer and

several rehearsals

she delivered

beautiful room and

then I realized it was not

children are not creative

start

it’s like mine

teachers do not have due

skills and abilities

need to look for problems

not in children but in yourself well

that the most important thing I

asked for help

it’s very, very

important, I have always been afraid

hesitated to shift

ask for help

to colleagues

teachers you know

know us men

do not belong

ask for help

we think it seems to us

this manifestation

weakness that we all

used to do themselves

even us that something is not

very

hard to admit

yourself and others

you do not know how to

here children this situation

helped me this

overcome and therefore

that when I saw

after their

the faces of their emotions I realized

what is the priority of the whole

my work at school

they are the children they are personally

self-esteem and if

for this you need

ask for help

then do not be afraid

what is your sugar

self-esteem will come from

more important will fall

there is a more important

thing and it changed

my system of values

unfortunately not all

the situation had such

simple solution i

remember i got

first first class 5

1 lesson of history in

week and on one of

I gave the first lessons

you homework

draw a coat of arms

family but very important

so that on this coat of arms

would reflect

feature

unique with your

family each color

each element should

mean that what

which symbolizes and

characterizes your

family and imagine

one day comes from

I am very

children with coats of arms

I start to call them

to the board of one for

others and goes 11

old modest

little boy shows

your drawing emblem

his family and says

in the center you will see my

mother

and my mother’s right hand

I sit on my left hand

my younger brother and on

background big

bright sun i

I ask what

means this sun and

he says it’s mine

dad who died 2

months ago pause

I’m thinking to myself

am I even now

is it really

in such cases

the evaluation has

any meaning

that’s undeniable in

modern society

people need to be recognized

need recognition is needed

we would like to evaluate

that our friends

our acquaintances

comrades society

appreciated our successes and

achievements

our vacation in the caribbean

or the league of our new

pretend

our performance on ted

exe it probably

this can be explained

breathtaking

popularity

social networks with

all the likes and

I do not know the dislikes

as for

women but I know that in

against men, we

I just like to be

estimated but it

like evaluating

themselves will not

say what you like

evaluate and now with this

with this desire

I came to appreciate

school and after

speeches there

the student did not become

themselves shame not anyhow

it became a shame that I

wanted to use

assessment to any

weapons as a certain

know how to command

the fate of the children and

now I realized that

there is much more

important things that

evaluation is not

end in itself and children

require first of all

attention must be seen

Their eyes are their reaction and

individually

evaluate each of

them and once summing up

line under all these

situations are not stories

I thought about what already

I was taught

own students and

it seemed to me that it is not

started me flexibility

they did not destroy you

many stereotypes

for example situation

buildings taught me

diplomacy and

constructiveness in

communication with children I

walked away from the vaunted

male

adherence to principles and

stubbornness

situation with

preparing a number

musical self

learned how to handle

for help and became

understand when

does not affect my

men’s self-esteem

if I do not know how to do something

that the ability to recognize

that you are not something

do you know how strong

the side is not weak in

case with an estimate of i

I understood that there is

people and they

children are paramount

students

They need to be noticed and

then I realized that the same

it turns out that the most

important that today in

school is the flexibility to

children

if you are flexible

then you will not have

problems and I became

put off tormenting

one of and how about

personal principles

they are convinced that

today is not in price and

me so long to more than

in this issue and

it is not surprising that

a few years later

the answer was

also students you

i know

categorically

prohibit

use on

lessons

phones are not enough

nine years ago I

established this ban

not only for

students but also for themselves

you believe nature but

for 9 years I have never

took advantage of

mobile phone

never once in class

every time when

I come to school I

I remove my wardrobe

jacket and leave

phone in your pocket

I’m leaving my jacket

I’m finishing my lessons

working day

go down down take

phone and

call back night

unanswered calls

it was up to 2

May 2012

On May 2, 2013 I’m sure

also went down in

wardrobe left

phone in jacket

spent seven lessons in

three hours came to me

12 graders and we

prepared for

public

exam on

social science

we were engaged

sore floor hours

the sixth I finished

your working day

descended into the wardrobe

dressed the jacket got out

phone and saw 12

unanswered calls

and many messages

I also called back

mom mom

said that my dad

I will not die now

says what happened

with me at that moment

it is not important that

happened later in

three weeks I returned

school it was the end

May I thought for a long time

nazirs

and understood what about

the death of my father I

learned the latest

four hours after

the number is

because my

the phone was in the jacket

I began to blame myself and

against these

experiences and emotions

I came to class 12

eyes and shared

own

experiences with

I thought to the students

not now say well

finally the pavel

Evseich you decide

move away from this

anachronism a and

finally you will

allow us and ourselves

enjoy

modern

mobile

telephones

but how could I be wrong in

own students

especially me

I remember the answer

one guy who

stood up and said the pavel

alekseich look

on the situation with another

the parties

thanks to the fact that 2

May 2013

your phone was not with

you in the jacket you were

for 4 hours in this life

happier and then I

I realized that ‘s what it was

I was taught

own students

there is not that flexibility

which I thought at first

important for them and not that

integrity no

they value modern

children in the family on

training in school

for them it is very important

that we are adults

building relationships

with them did not impose on

their own

principles and said

they are unique

correctly a

worked out

principles of

cooperation with them

together with them in

This is what is manifested

Our flexibility in

respect

and this is manifested

is our

adherence to principles

Thank you
