Responds with Alexey Golubitsky, Director of the “School of the Future” in the Kaliningrad region:

Each school has the right to introduce its own assessment system, including in creative subjects. The Ministry of Education recommended that in disciplines that depend not only on diligence, but also on innate abilities, you should set a “credit”. I believe that negative ratings on & nbsp;suchThis is a measure that signals something completely egregious. Relatively speaking, the student, instead of drawing, poured a can of paint on the neighbor’s head. The same applies to the forgotten form and textbooks. To motivate to diligence and good behavior by twos in any case is ineffective.

In general, I advise parents to take the marks more calmly. A significant score is the USE score. A negative mark is not a reason for conflicts and dramatic experiences. This is just a signal that something has gone wrong and the child needs help.

The first is to continue developing the Russian segment of the ISS, and after the operation is completed, simply undock it and build your station on this basis. The second one is to start construction on another orbit, in parallel with the continuation of work on the ISS. Will the resource be enough for another 10 years? The biggestthe problem is  & mdash; the station building. & laquo;The filling & raquo; can be changed, but & nbsp;it is very difficult to replace the body. However, the cracks found in the modules do not pose a threat to the safety of astronauts. It may be necessary to seal one or more compartments, but in general, the ISS will be able to work further. And the resource of the module “Science”, launched in 2021, will be enough for 20 years at all.
