Israel
The beginning of February - the end of April is the time when the fate of the future first-graders in Israel is determined. According to the law, records are held at the place of residence. From the documents you need only a child's birth certificate (and a document confirming Jewry for religious schools). The area of 5-6 thousand inhabitants accounts for at least two schools. Secular, religious, with various slopes, auxiliary, with separate training of boys and girls. The state schools are obliged to take all those who came, but if possible places ends, they hold a mini interview with each child. Smarter (this is prestigious for school) remain. The main priority when choosing a school in Israeli parents is a program and a pedagogical team. Each school can use both their own developments and any program, patented and approved by the Ministry of Education. The main thing is that children have the opportunity to prepare for bugger (certificate of secondary education).
Until 2009, Pedagogues of primary classes were ill in Israel. The fact is that only two years ago a law was adopted here that the primary school teacher must have a higher education. Before that, the "my first teacher" could come to the class, worked before that a couple of years, let's say, in the store, or immediately after the end of the 12th grade, having received a bugger. The only necessary document was a permit for teaching activities based on the delivery of the test system on the basics of pedagogy and child psychology. In 2009, high school teachers decided this problem very simply - weekly strike. Their argument was very logical: high school has no time to once again pass the program of the first five classes.
The choice of private school is much simpler, since they are not so much - the state is not delighted with such competition. The cost of studying in a private school is about 400 euros per month. Gosshkol costs 1500-2000 shekels per year (the same 400 euros), including a set of new textbooks and testing on a school bus to home.
Germany
In Germany, the child's documents (the birth certificate and the conclusion of the educator of the preparatory group of kindergarten) are submitted to schools until November 15 of the current year. There is no excitement and queues to the office of the director, although in the opposite of Israel of elementary schools here is small. The Germans are terribly scrupted in choosing the temple of science. Literally everything is taken into account: the state of the school building, the number and quality of the methodological material in the classes, the teaching experience of the teacher, the number of children in the classroom and even the place of operation of the Pope potential neighbor on the desk.
The "discoveries of wonderful" at first grades will be many, and they will not always be standard and unequivocal. It is no secret that Germany has long been ahead of the rest of the world to introduce compulsory sexual education, starting from the first class. These lessons are very curious. Among the benefits are puzzles with human body details, diverse posters, in all details illuminating the gender difference of mankind. By the 6th class, plastic phalluses are added to this set, which kids during the lesson are smoothly tensioning condoms on speed. Gaming technique, nothing can be done. Among those illuminated are contraception, AIDS and venereal diseases, homosexuality and lesbian relations ...
Tolerance lesson
In Israel, "intimate" lessons are impossible in principle. The orthodox population is chain with any liberty in the formation of the sons of Abraham. But there are no less amazing Talmud lessons. Torah Sipings (Torah Stories) are subject to a mandatory subject to receive maturity certificate. Kids Such lessons just adore: here are theatrical performances, and all sorts of interpretations of texts, and logically stacked literary quests. In Israeli elementary school, it is increasingly possible to see elements of alternative education techniques. Standard classes refuse the usual desk and boards, and group dynamics and work in a circle comes to the place of the shank and tedious protection of abstracts.
Neither Germany, nor Israel refused to enjoy introduce new-purpose tolerance into the education system. Starting from the 5th grade, the Israeli schoolchildren with a periodicity once-two per month listen to lectures on humanity and tolerance. The most terrible topic of these lessons is the Holocaust. Every year of eight-graders, absolutely all state schools are exported to Poland on an excursion. Auschwitz - a more realistic tutorial is difficult to imagine. And German children from the first grade are mastering the basics of a hostel not only in an expanding multinational society, but also with non-standard representatives of it. Sectarians and alternative youth groups - characters of various lessons of peace and consent.
