When to send a child to school

Can you answer who wrote the fairy tale "Three Little Pigs"? Or remember your dad's cell phone number? Or to make a picture of tangram? How, you do not even know what it is? But some teachers demand that the future first-graders know and know all about it! When to send a child to school - the topic of today's conversation.

Interviewing

The process that operates when sending a child to school takes place in the form of an interview and must be done in the presence of the parents. The interview, which should not last longer than half an hour, is not allowed to test the child's ability to read, write and count. The interview is intended to reveal how much the child is ready (or not ready) to study at school.


Documentation

From the parents have the right to demand only an application addressed to the head of the school and a medical certificate of the established type, sometimes a copy of the child's birth certificate.

LANGUAGE. The Admissions Committee can not demand that the child speak only in Ukrainian at the interview - he can also respond in Russian.


Inoculations

According to Art. 12 ZU "On protection of the population from infectious diseases" vaccinations against diphtheria, pertussis, measles, poliomyelitis, tuberculosis and tetanus are mandatory. The same article says that parents have the right to refuse compulsory vaccinations. But, on the other hand, the school has the same right to refuse to accept your child for this very reason.


Registration

Even if you do not have a registration, you must be admitted to the school at your place of residence. The implementation of your constitutional rights is prescribed in Part 2 of Art. 2 ZU "On freedom of movement and free choice of residence". In addition, according to Art. 6 Zu "About general secondary education" citizens of Ukraine ensure the accessibility of secondary education regardless of place of residence.


To the speech therapist

If a six-year-old has defects in speech, parents can advise classes with a speech therapist, but they do not have the right to refuse admission.

After the boy, at the request of the commission, reported the names, names and patronymics of all of his closest relatives, he was asked to name the number of his father's mobile. The boy could not answer. With problems of logic Vadim coped easily, but the progressive matrix of Raven from the first time did not succumb. Apparently, nervous, the boy began to make mistakes and as a result showed an average level.

"You see, you have an ordinary child, with the most ordinary abilities," the psychologist began to say in a bored voice. And the teacher picked up: "What do you enroll in a specialized school? We recruit only very advanced children .In our school your son will be very difficult to learn."

Already out on the street, Larissa introduced how she would have to drive Vadim daily to another, ordinary school - for several stops of the trolleybus. Then she suddenly remembered the phrase from the fairy tale mentioned above: "We do not fear a gray wolf," and she decided first to consult a lawyer. How should the first graders be administered according to the law?


It turns out , in this case, the contest is legitimate? And here not. In Ukraine and Russia there are only two types of primary schools: with the study of foreign languages, as well as music or visual arts. A mathematical bias can begin later. In addition, if a child is not taken to a special school, or he does not want to study in-depth an object, local authorities must open elementary general education classes in such a school. And before sending the child to school, consult a child psychologist, and find out if this moment has come or not. So it will be easier for you and your child to adapt.
