"Give Me a School!"

Shatalov: The audience has certainly heard something about the work we are doing. But most of them, especially those who have not read my books, have perhaps heard about it in a distorted form. Let us try to understand the gist of it. Will those who have second- or third-graders at home raise their hands? Thank you. Your little kid has come home from school. He opens his day book. And there's nothing written in it [by way of a homework assignment]. "Didn't they give you anything?" "No, they did." "Now why didn't you write it down? I'll fix you!" And the little tyke starts to howl.
