My name is Aykorkem. I am 13 years old. I study in a secondary school at the 7th grade. We have a friendly and united class. There are 26 pupils in our class and I am in good relations with almost all of them. I can say that I’m quite a sociable person and I have lots of friends both among my classmates and within my neighborhood.My class is rather important for me because I spend the majority of my time at school. We don’t only have lessons together, but we also attend additional school activities. Some of our pupils go in for sport trainings, some attend arts and crafts classes and some participate in school theatre. Surprisingly, there are a lot of talented and interesting pupils in our class. Personally I take part in school theatre. We often rehearse new plays and when the school celebrates something we present these plays on stage. The principle of our school appreciates it and he says that we have a good group of actors.

We live in the 21st century. Our life is full IT technologies, after all it is convenient and interesting. But to reach dismissal of teachers - mad idea!In Russia education in comparison with Europe leaves much to be desired. And for anybody it not a secret. Our government spends a fantastic sum financing a set of new projects: new computer classes, the best books, apparatuses and halls. But all this doesn't affect children. Why? Good question.The youth has no desire to study, learn the world. After school children run home to play on the computer or watch TV. This lack of interests in other aspects of world around afflicts.Therefore pupils need attention to their person, to their actions. The teacher can resolve problems, normal and available explain lesson material.Great number of scientists and programmers consider that equipment - our everything. Our future. But not to the same degree to replace teachers of a zheleznymikorobkama with motherboards! It won't lead to a good outcome.Someone dislikes computers, and too it is necessary to agree with them. This equipment damages our eyesight, kills cells of a brain, doesn't force us to think, think. It completely controls us.I consider that the identity of the teacher, real-life communication, verbal exchange of information - all this is an important component of training. True skill of the teacher, in my opinion, consists in combining traditional and innovative methods and technologies of training. After all both those, and others have one task - to teach the child.
