Lyceum 1568 named after pablo neruda. last years of life
Does your daughter (eldest) have a last name that doesn't start with B? And the name is on A, no?)
I do not pretend to be the ultimate truth, but I will tell you how my two sons were admitted.
The older one entered 3 years ago, before that he attended courses. The courses were taught by Pankina, she praised her son in the courses, all the problems that were sorted out in the courses, the son "snapped like nuts", everything was ok with the verbal counting, an excellent student at school, there were never any problems in Russian, we were completely confident that the child will come from the 1st stream, and to the second stream (there was a May vacation during the second stream, and we had a couple of days of workers on our trip, during which there was an exam) we already had tickets for rest. However, no one expected that on the first stream the guys would be given a problem with a typo, because of this typo, the problem was not solved, and the son got stuck. I got nervous, lost a lot of time, and as a result - mathematics was "overwhelmed". Plus, the tasks that were given in the exam were not analyzed at all in the courses. At the courses, the guys studied Orga, made Olympiad problems from the teacher's printouts, were engaged in oral counting and intelligence. As the teachers themselves said at the meeting “Developing courses”, otherwise everyone would have entered the lyceum from the courses, and this is far from the case (in our group of 28 people, in the end, only three entered). In general, we grabbed our heads and took a tutor who was preparing our classmate, who entered the 1st stream. Also an interesting point - few people advertise that they are studying with a tutor, it seems like it is inconvenient or something, it is much more pleasant to say that "I did it myself" but in fact many of the guys are actively preparing with a teacher, and in the lyceum they continue to study with turnips , again hiding this fact. So, I can say with confidence that from March to May the tutor did a tremendous job, and not only having worked through difficult topics, but also tactically preparing his son for the exam (what tasks to start with, what pitfalls there can be, where you can easily make a mistake and so on) and the child solved mathematics even ahead of time). As a result, fortunately, it was possible to retake only one subject, taking into account that the second was passed successfully.
With the younger one, we decided not to risk it and combine courses with a tutor. The courses were taught by another teacher, Olga Vladimirovna, I liked it much more than Pankina. We passed mathematics with a large margin from the first stream, but again, not all of them came from the courses, I did not track the second stream, but only a couple of people from the group came from the first. And this year there was an innovation - even if one subject was passed with the highest score, and the second did not pass along the lower border, then both subjects had to be retaken, sadly. As a result, stress again, and children prepare for both Russian and mathematics in a new way. Our friend did not enter. I didn’t take literally “a little bit”, I went to the courses, there was a whole huge list of those who didn’t get “a little bit” after the second stream (they went to the appeal, and there Olga Ivanovna, the head teacher, put them in the reserve, but in the end there was no one took, for and so many people entered). Again, I didn’t enter because of the stupidest flaws, somewhere I didn’t write an answer, somewhere the slightest arithmetic error led to a wrong decision Now I will prepare for the 6th grade, but the competition is much higher there, because new classes are usually not recruited , only add. So there may be a kind of lottery here, and you need to look at the child. Someone easily acts without additional studies, someone can "cut off" and on trifles.
He called this poet the happiest person in the whole world. However, one can even agree with this loud statement. After all, Neruda was considered the property of the Latin American continent during his lifetime. He was also loved in the USSR. The best translators have worked on his texts.

The life of Pablo Neruda is rich in external events. Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basualto was born - this is the real name of the poet - in the city of Parral, in central Chile. This event took place on July 12, 1904.
The origin of the poet
His father was a railway conductor - he accompanied trains loaded with rubble. The mother died of consumption a month after the appearance of her son. The father married a second time, and the family moved to the city of Temuco, which is somewhat to the south. There the boy grew up. Pablo Neruda retained grateful memories of his stepmother. He wrote that she was a kind and affectionate woman with a peasant humor. She constantly fussed and took care of everyone.
Lyceum education
At the age of 6, the child was taken to the lyceum. Gradually, Pablo Neruda became interested in reading, and began to compose himself. He published his first poems in newspapers while still a high school student. It was then that the pseudonym was born - in an attempt to hide poetry from his father, who saw in them the reason for his son's chronic failure in mathematics. The name was chosen under the influence of the minute - Pablo liked one of the stories of the Czech classic of the last century Jan Neruda, while the boy did not understand the stress and became Neruda. Subsequently, this name was assigned to him by an official act - it was entered in the passport.
First Prize, First Collection
After graduating from the lyceum, the young man moved to Santiago and entered pedagogical institute, located at the capital university. Here he studied English and french languages... At the same time, Pablo Neruda received the first prize for a poem entitled "Holiday Song" at a student competition. A 19-year-old Neruda became the author of the poetry collection "Collection of Sunsets", the costs of the release of which he paid for himself, having sold the miserable property. Even then, his stormy poetic temperament manifests itself - Neruda recalled that he wrote 2, 3, 4 and even 5 poems a day. Basically, it was landscape lyrics, student and imitative. But the still fragile poetic voice did not interfere with nurturing a big idea, which became his artistic credo. Pablo Neruda wrote that he wanted to become a poet who would embrace as much as possible in his work. He longed to merge events, passions, nature and man into one, and so that all this would be shown in interconnection.
In those same years, Neruda joined political activities, published articles on social topics in newspapers, and took part in the work of trade unions and student societies.
Consul position, travel
Having completed a full course at the institute, Neruda is in no hurry to start a working life. He has been trying for a long time to get some kind of diplomatic post and finally in 1927 he became consul in Rangoon, the capital of Burma. This "job" (he recalls that he had to perform official duties once every three months) could be called a sinecure, if it were well paid, but the usual companion of young poets - poverty - did not escape him either. Then Neruda is transferred to Ceylon (now - Sri Lanka), he also visited China, Japan, Argentina, etc. The East enriched the perception of the world, giving the work of Neruda that universality, one might say - cosmicity, which is characteristic of a mature poet.
"Residence - Earth"
The book, prepared on the basis of accumulated impressions, bore a title reflecting these views: "Residence - Earth". She came out in 1935, when Neruda had already received the post of the Chilean consul in Madrid. Subsequently, the poet recalled this collection, which brought him fame, that his book was filled with bitterness by the manner of writing and the truth of life. Gabriela Mistral responded with a benevolent article, she saw in the "intense expressiveness of Neruda" features of popular vernacular. Neruda's method of unexpectedly bold, arbitrary associativity used in this book was preserved in the future.
and their consequences
With the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, Neruda gets involved in a political struggle on the side of the Republicans, writes the poetry collection "Spain in the Heart". The Chilean government regarded this behavior as incompatible with a diplomatic post and transferred him to the post of consul in Paris. By that time, the time of disorder was over, and the already famous poet was buying in Chile, 150 kilometers from the capital, a rich villa "Isla Negro" (Black Island).
Neruda becomes a communist
His political sympathies are gradually transforming - in 1945 he joined the Communist Party of Chile, and since 1959 he has been a member of its Central Committee. For Hispanics, such sentiments are common. They see the reasons for the political and economic backwardness of their countries in an unfair social order, and accordingly, they are looking for solutions to pressing issues only on the path of social changes. For Neruda, individualism is also unacceptable. At Nobel Day, he said that he had chosen the difficult path on which he shares responsibility with people, and prefers modest service to a large army, which at times can be mistaken, but tirelessly moves forward, to the worship of an individual as the center of the universe.
At the same time, he, who rejects individualism, is attracted by the idea of \u200b\u200ba hero. In his declining years, Neruda recalled that the dark sides of time did not supplant from his memory the image of Stalin, a strict person to himself, a "titanic defender" of the revolution in Russia. From the circumstances that accompanied this "titanic defense", Neruda turned away as from particulars that do not change the essence of the matter. So he remained until the end.
Senator job, flight to Argentina
One of the most striking episodes in the biography of Neruda is associated with the post-war period. In the 1947 election campaign, he supported the candidacy of Gonzalez Videla, who was not stingy with promises. He became and Neruda was elected senator. However, in the worst Latin American traditions, Videla, having come to power, began mass persecution of former supporters, including the communists. In response, Neruda made a harsh speech in the Senate, in which, without avoiding theatricality, he said "I blame!" Like Zola once did. A month later, an arrest warrant was issued. I had to go underground, and then, disguised as a cattle driver, flee through the mountains to Argentina. Life in exile was filled with trips to different countries, participation in World Peace Congresses, etc.
last years of life
In 1969, Neruda's candidacy was nominated for presidential elections in Chile, but he removes it in favor. With the victory of the latter, Neruda becomes Chile's ambassador to France, where he learns about the Nobel Prize being awarded to him. But a serious illness makes the poet return to his homeland. He died in a capital clinic 12 days after the bloody government coup (September 23, 1973).
Exhumation
Interestingly, almost 40 years after his death, the poet's body was exhumed. Her goal was to find out true reasonsleading to the death of the poet. The fact is that the Nobel laureate passed away under very mysterious circumstances. He died 12 days after the military junta seized power in Chile. The death certificate stated that it was caused by prostate cancer. But friends testified that a few hours before his death, Neruda talked, moved independently, was cheerful. His death came after an injection given to him in the hospital. An analysis conducted in 2011 confirmed the medical conclusion.
Analysis of Neruda's creativity
In the postwar years, Neruda continued to write extensively. In total, he created 40 independent books that do not repeat each other in anything. His poetry has been translated into many languages \u200b\u200b(it was translated into Italian by Salvatore Quasimodo), she won worldwide recognition, but he was constantly accompanied by the reputation of a poet, perhaps a genius, but too "excessive", chaotic, disorderly. Neruda could seem either too complicated, or almost primitive, too prone to rhetoric and verbosity, in short, a poet who, with his indisputable merits, does not meet the generally accepted requirements of taste in literature. This is how many critics saw Pablo Neruda.
When deciding on a child's admission to a lyceum, most parents are guided by the phrase "physical and mathematical", and want to involve the child in the in-depth study of physics and mathematics, which in the future will allow the child to connect his fate with the increasingly popular and very popular technical professions ... BUT, do not discount the fact that in addition to physics and mathematics, in the lyceum from the 10th grade there is a profile and 3 profiles: physics and mathematics, mathematics and computer science, chemistry and biology. And the lyceum is well aware that it is unrealistic to prepare children with high quality, for example, for admission to the specialty of chemical and biological orientation only for the 10th and 11th grade within the profile. Therefore, be prepared that already from the 7th grade, in addition to physics and mathematics, ALL children will also be taught in-depth chemistry and biology. And since the lyceum annually occupies high positions in the ranking of Moscow schools and receives financial grants for this from the Moscow government, which go exclusively to reward teachers, with the help of which the institution's high results have been achieved, then teachers of geography, history, social studies and others are not want to stay on the sidelines (they need bonuses too!). Therefore, these items will be given at a high level. It is impossible to fit in-depth study of all subjects into the grid of the school timetable, therefore, the implementation of in-depth education is also carried out at the expense of numerous electives that must be attended in many subjects.
As a result, the life of children, starting from the seventh grade, comes down to the fact that they are in the lyceum on weekdays until 17, after which a short break to get home and eat, and immediately sit down for the performance of d / z, the number of which is off scale. Nimble guys finish doing their homework by 12 at night, those who are slower - late at night. You won't be able to relax on weekends either - on Saturdays there are compulsory electives, and on Sundays children are mercilessly driven to numerous Olympiads in ALL subjects throughout Moscow, because, I repeat, ALL teachers want to participate in the sharing of the “pie” of the annual government grant. Plus volumetric homework for the next week.
Thus, according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in our country, the working week of an adult is 40 hours, and a child-lyceum student - it is even difficult to count how many, but no less than 80 hours!
That is, when you send your child to the Lyceum, you should be aware that in his life throughout all the years of study there will be only a Lyceum! No sections and circles, no leisure, no books, theaters, museums, or just a walk, make friends or go to the doctor. One study and a pipe dream is to get enough sleep! And the whole family will have to follow this schedule. You can forget about leisure time on weekends, for vacations (including summer) homework is given to some extent, and for the May holidays do not relax - the child will sit and prepare for the transferred annual work, and their "failure" entails deduction ...
The lyceum will slightly reduce the turnover of the Lyceum only by the 11th grade, but purely for the sake of freeing up time for the children for classes with tutors at YOUR expense (of course, they will not tell you openly about this), realizing that this will again bring dividends to him - the Lyceum.
Yes, your child will wear the proud title of lyceum student, will master school subjects well, but life experience and horizons (in addition to educational knowledge) will be extremely narrow, and you will see the child either always sitting at the table or sleeping.
Each parent has the Unified State Exam in his head, according to the results of which the children will have to enter universities. BUT! For successful admission, each child will need to score a certain number of points on the USE in THREE subjects. And children will have to learn in depth what the majority will not need at all in such a volume.
And more ... The Lyceum pays great attention to the preparation of the Olympiads and reports that victories in the Olympiads allow children to enter a university without exams. But! The Minister of Education of the Russian Federation has already promised to significantly reduce the number of Olympiads held in the near future due to suspicions of their corruption component, and even now only a few - really gifted guys - become prize-winners of the first (necessary) level Olympiads. And it is the gifted children that the Lyceum cares for, cherishes and fosters, but as a rule, there are not so many of them in each class. And if your child is not a genius, but simply smart, responsible and diligent, then, of course, having lost a normal childhood, he will stretch out to study at the lyceum, but all the years of study he in the class will only be a background for the few geniuses studying, and will endure on himself all that extremely tough attitude towards yourself, about which a lot has been written in reviews. Whether then the child will be grateful to the parents for SUCH childhood - everyone decides, of course, for himself.
But in our metropolis there are many opportunities and other educational institutions high-level, who are not so much sprayed on in-depth study of all subjects, wanting to embrace the immensity. And if they call themselves "physics and mathematics", then they concentrate on physics and mathematics.
It's a shame that the notorious struggle of Moscow schools for a place in the rating has led to the fact that it is the rating that now worries both the lyceum and the teachers. Now the lyceum ranks 9th in the ranking of Moscow schools and it seems that more than anything in the world it is afraid of leaving this position now. Therefore, he squeezes all the juices out of the children. That is, there is a continuous struggle for rating due to the health and normal childhood of children.
