"Chance" is the only Moscow school for teenagers convicted of criminal charges. Children live and study at school five days a week; they are sent home on weekends. Now there are students convicted of theft, robbery, drug trafficking and murder. The Village wanted to prepare material about this educational institution for the general graduation of 11th graders, but it was not possible to obtain permission to communicate with students. A month later, a “Chance” employee, who wished to remain anonymous, contacted the editors about a different matter. He said that recently there had been disturbances in the establishment. Two students keep the other children in fear, beat them and extort money. The employees of the institution and the parents of the students know about the situation, but remain silent - the aggressors threaten them with violence and refer to connections in the social protection department. The Investigative Committee and the Human Rights Council have already taken up the problem, but everything is kept secret.

The Village figured out how closed schools for criminal teenagers work and why this situation became possible.

"Godfather Misha Alekseev"

In June, four employees of the Chance School wrote a collective letter called “A Cry for Help!” (available to the editors). It states that new director“Chance” Kirill Kubarev is rarely in the building, and “in fact, the school is run by one of the minor students.” Mikhail Alekseev (name changed - Ed.) together with another student Andrey Karpin (name changed - Ed.) They beat other children and extort money.

A “Chance” specialist, who recently resigned from the institution, says that Alekseev is “a very embittered boy who can send, humiliate and insult anyone.” According to him, the teenager became the leader of the team after graduation in June, when the older guys left the school. Alekseev himself is under 18 years old; he has been studying at Chance since 2015. It is not reported under what article he got there, but it is known that he should soon be released on parole. His accomplice - Karpin - is described by a former employee as a good boy who fell under the influence of Alekseev: “In a closed school you have nowhere to go: you are either under Alekseev or against him and that’s what you get. Moreover, Karpin recently lived in the same room with him.”

Only boys aged 11 to 18 years can study in a closed school; less than a year and no more than three years. Currently there are 14 children studying at the school. It simply won’t fit anymore: the school grounds are a small two-story building and 300 square meters of yard. Perhaps that is why teenagers study in another building during the second shift. They are taken by bus to school 196 on the next street. There they study three or four people per class.

All students are released to their families for the weekend, and if, upon returning, they do not bring gifts or money to Alekseev and Karpin, they will be beaten. For example, for the boss to allow the use mobile phones, students pay him a thousand rubles. “At graduation, my son came up to me and asked me to lend him money, otherwise he’d be screwed,” says Elena, the mother of one of the students. (name changed at the request of the heroine. - Ed.)). From March to June, Elena regularly transfers money to Alekseev and Karpin so that her son will be left alone. In total, she has already given them more than 10 thousand rubles.

According to Elena, over the past three months, 12 students at the school received 17 serious injuries. Another source from The Village talks about 15 injuries during this time and talks about the two most noticeable: “Mikhail Yartsev (students' names have been changed. - Ed.), 17 years old, - the eardrum was broken and many injuries were caused. Roman Kazakov, 16 years old, had his skull and nose broken. Need surgery. Both were in the Morozov hospital.”

A former employee of the reintegration department at Chance says that all 12 teenagers were afraid of Alekseev: “He might not even say anything, he would just enter the room, and the guys’ condition would immediately change. I heard that two boys were in the hospital, but I don’t know the details - I had already quit by then.” The specialist has repeatedly seen bruises on teenagers.

The publication was unable to speak with students at the school. Children do not discuss what is happening even with their parents. School staff say that students don’t complain because “these guys have their own ideas” and that’s not the norm. “The guys say they hit the refrigerator or fell out of the bunk bed. But they don’t fall like that! Their arms and legs are damaged, the children’s teeth are falling out,” says Elena.

One of Chance's students is 13 years old and convicted of murder. “He is not a sociopath, he killed a man in a state of passion. With a height of 190 centimeters and a weight of more than 90 kilograms, he is so afraid of those guys that he sleeps with a stick under his pillow,” the publication’s interlocutor said. Teenagers also threaten adults: Alekseev and Karpin told the mother of one of the students that she had better shut up, otherwise she would remain disabled for the rest of her life. The woman told the editor that she filed a statement with the police about the threats.

"Roof from the Department"

Teachers, doctors and psychologists at the school know about the beatings and extortion of money, but “they are silent because they are afraid,” says Elena. Former teacher school confirms that school staff knew about the conflict situation.

The situation is complicated by the fact that Misha allegedly has cover in the leadership of the Department of Labor and Social Security. As stated in the collective letter, “if any of the adults make a remark to Misha, he threatens to call Petrosyan (Vladimir Arshakovich Petrosyan- Head of the Department of Labor and Social Protection. - Approx. ed.) and Barsukova (Tatyana Mitrofanovna Barsukova- Deputy Head of the Department of Labor and Social Protection. - Approx. ed.) and will fire, as he has already fired several people: a teacher on false charges, a security guard and a director.”

Former employee The school says that the situation at the school was affected by the dismissal of the previous director in March. (In December 2016, school students protested against the brutal treatment of security guards in the office. As a result, the school director, Natalya Weisner, who had led the school for three years, was fired. - Ed.). Then “the management of the Social Security Department shook the boys’ hands and said: “Guys, stick to this strategy, if any of the employees offend you, we will fire them.” One employee did not want to work with Alekseev and asked to be assigned to another child, but was refused. After that she quit. “I was afraid of Alekseev, I felt uncomfortable being alone with him. I didn’t come to work in prison after all,” the teacher recalls.

In a conversation with The Village, the head of the Department of Labor and Social Protection, Vladimir Petrosyan, said that children cannot force someone to quit: “And if they can, it means that the person admitted his own powerlessness, and he is so weak that he quits without telling anyone, that the children forced him.”

In March, Kirill Kubarev, who previously worked as deputy director for educational and methodological work at Economics and Technology College No. 22. By education, Kubarev is an economist and mathematician; he also studied as a master of business administration at the Synergy Institute. In 2002, the director of “Chance” became a candidate of pedagogical sciences, however, according to the website of the Moscow Department of Education, Kubarev has no pedagogical education.

In June, school staff wrote a collective letter to the Investigative Committee, the Human Rights Council and the Children's Rights Commissioner Anna Kuznetsova. It states that on June 19, Kubarev, together with a certain guest, left his office drunk and began to communicate with students: “The staff tried to take him away from the children, but he was excited, cheerful, laughing, gesticulating, then went to talk to the pupil Bandorin, directly like this, completely drunk!” According to the authors of the letter, the director’s behavior was recorded on CCTV cameras. A former Chance employee who spoke with The Village did not catch this episode. However, she noted that Kubarev spent little time in the closed-type department: “I did not see that control over the children was strengthened or any special work was carried out. As everything was, so it remains. I can’t say that Kubarev was paying attention to this conflict.”

“Guys, stick to this strategy, If any of the employees offend you, we will fire them."

“The situation is always under the control of the department”

After the collective letter, they came to the school with a search. An anonymous source claims that a meeting was held at the Human Rights Council, which was attended by “people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs,” school staff and parents of students. Advisor to the Russian Ombudsman Maxim Ladzin confirmed this information to The Village and added that several meetings were held at the HRC. Ladzin declined to comment because “the students’ parents do not want the problem to be covered in the media.”

The Village reached out to five current school employees for official comment, but all declined to speak. The nurse at “Chance” was at the Investigative Committee at the time of the correspondent’s call and replied that she could not disclose confidential information. The school's doctor, Anton Kondratenko, said that during the investigation he was forbidden to disseminate any information, since school employees were involved in a criminal case as witnesses. After the situation at the school reached the attention of the Human Rights Council and the Investigative Committee, Kondratenko resigned from the school - he told The Village correspondent about this. An anonymous source said that psychologist Marina Gudzenko also left “Chance”. Gudzenko herself declined to comment.

The Chance school operates as normal, as usual, nothing [unusual] is happening. All other information is in the press service of the Department of Labor and social protection population. I am not authorized to make any comments.

Vladimir Petrosyan

Head of the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of Moscow

The Investigative Committee is looking into the case, but no criminal case has been initiated. None of the boys confirmed either the beatings or the fact of extortion of money. Let the police and investigators deal with this. I did not see the letter from the school staff; no one showed it to me. I haven’t talked to the teachers yet because it was only yesterday (conversation recorded on July 13. - Ed.) came back from vacation. Teachers and psychologists who went to Fedotov call the students irreparable criminals. This is not normal, so they admit their complete powerlessness. Yes, these are juvenile criminals, but they cannot be branded for life, they need to be worked with.

This is the first time in my life I’ve heard about the director’s drunkenness. By the way, under the previous director, the children admitted to me that there were beatings and so on. As a result, all this resulted in a riot, and we fired the director. But none of the teachers complained about him. And for some reason they complain about the new one, who is interested in the fate and education of each child. In general, the situation in “Chance” is always under the control of the department.

Andrey Babushkin

Member of the Expert Council under the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation

I was at Chance just yesterday. The instigators that everyone was complaining about were not at school. One of them was taken into custody on suspicion of committing a crime (I don’t know which one specifically), and the other is at home under recognizance not to leave the place. I will go to these guys again.

There were 11 or 12 people at the meeting with me - I gave them a lecture. I know about injuries in children, but I haven’t noticed anything myself. The children were relaxed, they communicated with me freely, without impudence, and gave the impression of self-confident people.

Of course, the director is aware of all the problems, he worries and is ready to fight for each child as if he were his own. This is a difficult situation for him, and he expected support from the teaching staff, but he received only complaints. This was a blow for him; he was somewhat discouraged by these showdowns. Probably, the teachers who wrote the complaint are in some cases right and fair, and in others their behavior is dictated by some personal grievances.

The conflicts that occur in this school are conflicts in a submarine, that is, in a confined space where it is impossible to spread your arms. The smaller the team, the more complex the relationships within it. I also noticed that children live and study in very cramped spaces. For them to feel comfortable, the yard must be at least twice as large.”

The Village’s source claims that one of Chance’s students, Andrei Karpin, is currently in a pre-trial detention center, and Mikhail Alekseev is “on the run.” Moscow Children's Ombudsman Evgeny Bunimovich refused to comment on this information.

How everything works

In Russia, children convicted of criminal charges are sent to a juvenile colony, or, if the sentence is suspended, they are assigned to stay at home. As those who have served time in educational colonies say, children there are faced with prison laws, violence and hazing. The Moscow closed-type school "Chance" in South Butovo is a cross between these two options. Children leave her not after the usual graduation, but after the expiration of their sentence.

As stated on the establishment’s website, the basic principles of its work are “an individual approach, family type education, support and restoration of family ties, interdepartmental interaction.” “Chance” has a reintegration department that works with students and graduates of educational colonies, convicted teenagers who are not deprived of their liberty, and with students of closed schools.

“Chance” is supervised by the Department of Education and Social Protection of the Moscow Population. The decision on enrollment in a closed school is made by the court. Parental consent is also required. Why the majority of convicted children end up in juvenile colonies, and some are sent to “Chance” by the court, is unknown. Some Moscow courts send teenagers there more often, others less often. According to Moscow Children's Ombudsman Evgeniy Bunimovich, everything depends on the personality of the judge - “there is no good, well-functioning system here.”

It would be wonderful and strange if such conflicts did not occur in closed schools. In general, the peculiarity of “Chance” is that its students are periodically under investigation. I have been working with this school for a long time, and this is not the first such dispute.

In theory, such schools should remove teenagers from crime-prone environments, but now the school is ineffective. The percentage of repeat crimes among graduates of such schools is higher than we would like. It’s bad that after “Chance” children end up back in their familiar environment and the effect of re-education is often lost. Some students perceive this school as a sanatorium. They live in conditions much better than at home, they are taken on excursions and organized sports competitions. But we need to not only entertain and educate, we need to prepare for future professions.

I like the positive experience of other countries, such as England, where convicted teenagers are placed with police families. On the one hand, the children are punished, and on the other, they are in a family environment among trained police officers with pedagogical education.

A situation where a leader appears in a community who dominates the others can arise anywhere, even at Moscow State University. Another thing is that people with rich life experience, with a certain authority and a good salary should work with convicted children. It all depends on the teaching staff who must resolve such conflicts. The more professional the team, the fewer conflicts there will be. And children, naturally, take advantage of their rights, which they have more than teachers, or the fact that a school employee cannot cope with the work.

In any case, teachers cannot watch students 24 hours a day. The teacher turned away, and the child stuck a compass into his neighbor’s butt. There are also restrooms that teachers cannot enter, and there is also night time.

Yes, special schools and prisons are bad, but they must exist, this is a severe necessity. In any society there will be people who have not found a place in life. And in adolescence there are more such people than in any other. A special school is the penultimate chance, if not the last chance, for a child to come to his senses and begin to live a normal life.

Difficult teenagers are now talked about everywhere, and psychologists regularly sound the alarm about the psychological problems that arise in such children. How does a school for troubled teenagers function, and can a child receive a full-fledged education there?

Main features of the school for troubled teenagers

A boarding school for troubled teenagers is a special organization that accommodates children who have serious learning difficulties or have faced repeated violations of the law. Many children studying here suffer from serious psychological problems and unjustified aggression towards others.

Of course, it is not easy to teach such teenagers, since they are strongly opposed to acquiring new knowledge. That is why the school for difficult teenagers employs only experienced teachers, those who can cope with the character of their students. Such institutions are characterized by iron discipline, since it is this that helps to cultivate obedience in children. Here children are monitored not only during lessons, but also during everyday recreation. The task of teachers is to try to correct the teenager’s behavior by returning him to normal life in society.

They end up in such a specialized school, mainly by court decision due to serious misconduct by the student. That is why the local atmosphere cannot be called truly complacent. At the same time, teachers working at a school for troubled teenagers do not show aggression or engage in physical assault. Education here takes place the same as in a regular school, but under greater control and supervision of adults.

The first thing teachers do when they receive a new student- this checks the level of his knowledge and intellectual abilities. To do this, the child is given a series of tests that clearly demonstrate his student skills. Sometimes it happens that children who have had a hard time in life simply could not pay enough attention to learning. That is why the level of their intellectual skills leaves much to be desired. IN special boarding schools For difficult teenagers, teachers individually approach the skills and abilities of each child. That is why a teenager can be taught a junior school program if special tests show a significant lag in the level of intellectual development.

Another important point Studying at such a school means constant consultations with a psychologist. It has long been noted that difficult teenagers, for the most part, have very serious psychological problems, which affect both their academic performance and their behavior. The task of educational institutions for difficult children is precisely to correct such problems in terms of psychological development, which is why consultations with a psychologist play such an important role in normalizing the teenager’s condition. Typically, consultations with a psychologist take place individually, and at each of them the specialist tries to get to the bottom of the true source of the teenager’s problems.

Education in such schools takes place in the same subjects as in regular educational institutions. Attention is paid to standard academic subjects, as well as classes on physical culture and labor. Typically, education takes place in a boarding school format, that is, children remain under the supervision of teachers throughout the day, but on weekends they can go to visit their parents. Such a training system helps adults not only control children, but also become close friends with them. After a difficult period of adaptation, the teenager begins to get used to the teachers, and well-established friendly relations help the child get out of a difficult life situation.

Can a boarding school rehabilitate? difficult teenager?

It is worth noting that the level of development of problems for each difficult teenager is different. Sometimes it takes 2-3 weeks for a child to get into a groove and begin to control their actions, and sometimes they need several months just to adapt. Of course, everything here is individual and depends on the degree of development of psychological problems in the child.

Now teachers throughout Russia are actively discussing whether the work of such schools for difficult teenagers is productive, and whether they can return the child to a normal life. The statistics are inexorable: more than 70% of all students in such boarding schools begin to do better in school school subjects, and their level of aggression noticeably decreases. Due to the constant monitoring of experienced teachers and individual selection of the educational system, children begin to better assimilate school material. In addition, in such institutions children not only study, but spend almost all of their time here. free time. Gradually, they make new friends, and communication with peers becomes a powerful incentive to change behavior patterns.

An important point in the re-education of a difficult teenager is extracurricular activities with a teacher. In such additional classes, teachers try to awaken in children the basics of moral and correct ethical behavior. Thus, boarding schools quite often conduct additional cool watch on the topic of patriotism, respect for the environment and elders. The more diverse a professional’s pedagogical approaches to working on such electives are, the more successfully children will learn social and social norms discussed in class.

In the process of working with difficult teenagers, not only the activities of teachers and psychologists are important, but also correct behavior parents. So, for example, if adults support their child in every possible way, try to prove to him their love and the need to change their behavior, then children have much more incentive to improve their performance. Many teachers working with difficult teenagers hold special conversations with their parents, explaining how they should behave so that the child’s aggression becomes a thing of the past. As mentioned above, many schools operate as boarding schools, and children stay there throughout the week except weekends. When a schoolchild arrives home for the weekend, parents must do everything to protect the teenager from the temptations associated with his previous lifestyle.

Modern schools for troubled teenagers are popping up all over the country, but one of the best institutions similar type was founded in Moscow in 2012. In addition to modern equipment and highly qualified staff, children here have the opportunity to develop their Creative skills. Teenagers in such a school can attend drawing classes and can actively engage in sports or dance. All this helps not only to improve the child’s behavior, but also to expand the scope of his interests. Gradually, the love of science and new hobbies will supplant the teenager’s desire to get into fights and break the law.

Such an educational institution can help not only in improving academic performance, but also in getting rid of bad habits. In schools for troubled teenagers Special attention focus on combating nicotine and alcohol addiction. Children are being tried by everyone accessible ways wean off smoking, explaining the consequences of bad habits for the body. Nowadays, many children experiencing serious psychological problems associated with adolescence are trying to find a kind of outlet in bad habits, without even knowing how much it harms your health.

You should not expect that a difficult teenager will be re-educated in 2-3 days, since this difficult process sometimes takes months, and sometimes years. Thanks to a clear daily routine and a properly designed class schedule for each teenager, the student learns to control his life.

Often the character of a difficult teenager changes so much that only a professional in special institutions can help him. Constant consultations with a psychologist and regular electives - all this helps a teenager get rid of outbursts of anger and fits of rage, returning to normal life in society and to studying in a regular school.

Adolescence begins when the child crosses the border of ten or eleven years, and continues until the age of 15-16. During this period, the child begins to perceive the world as an adult, model the behavior of elders, and draw conclusions independently. The child develops a personal opinion and seeks his place in society. Interest in the inner world is also increasing. A teenager knows how to set goals and achieve them.

Except psychological changes, during the specified period of time, physiological changes occur: secondary sexual characteristics appear, changes hormonal background and so on.

Teenage problems

Problems arise among teenagers various reasons. But the basis can be based on the following internal conflicts:

1. The desire to become an adult, while denying the value guidelines by which adults live.
2. The feeling of being at the center of the Universe and the rejection of this by others.
3. Puberty and fear of the new self.
4. Attraction to teenagers of the opposite sex and inability to build relationships with peers.

As a result, it is difficult for a teenager to cope with new violent emotions, and parents should always be ready to support the child in a timely manner or give advice. If in adolescence, in addition to difficulties with changing the body, he is also beset by others, for example, low parental culture, alcoholism in the family, parents being busy with their own affairs or work, then such a person may fall into the category of “difficult”. For such people there are boarding schools for difficult teenagers.

How is the educational process organized in boarding schools?

Usually, special boarding schools for troubled teenagers end up with children with serious learning problems or those who have broken the law more than once. To cope with special needs, therefore, teachers with extensive experience, defectologists and psychologists carry out their activities in these educational institutions.

Often in the state teaching staff There are also people with medical education. Iron discipline is the basis of education in a boarding school for difficult teenagers. The main goal is to return the child to a normal worldview and life.

First, the students’ level of knowledge is checked and intellectual abilities. The verification takes place in the form of testing. If the results reveal a developmental delay, the boy or girl can even be taught a primary school curriculum.

The behavior of difficult teenagers is based on violations of psychological development, so students from a boarding school for difficult children constantly communicate with a psychologist. Such conversations take place individually. Based on the results, the specialist tries to find the basis - the reason for such behavior of the student.

In a boarding school for troubled teenagers, all children are constantly under the supervision of a teacher, and on Saturday and Sunday they have the right to go to their parents, although some stay on weekends.

Closed and open boarding schools

These establishments are of open and closed type. The first of them are similar to cadet corps or Suvorov schools. There is discipline and a daily routine, but children learn according to the standard school curriculum(of course adjusted for mental capacity), and on weekends they can go to their parents. In closed boarding schools, everything is much more serious - there are checkpoints, marching in formation, and regular classes with a psychologist. Some pupils in such institutions do not go home on weekends, but parents can visit them on the territory of the boarding school.

Reasons to send a teenager to a boarding school for difficult children

The reasons for going to a special school are as follows:

• committing a crime if the age does not correspond to the onset of criminal liability;
• the age corresponds to criminal responsibility, but the child is lagging behind in mental development;
• the teenager was convicted under articles providing for a crime of average gravity, but was released from punishment under the relevant articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The Commission on Juvenile Affairs petitions the court to send the offender to a special boarding school for troubled teenagers. Before the case is considered in court, the minor is given medical checkup and are referred to a psychiatrist. If the parents do not agree to these measures, all procedures are carried out by court decision.

Temporary detention centers

Before the court hearing, the child may be sent to a temporary detention center for up to 30 days. This happens in the following cases:

• when the life or health of a teenager must be protected;
• it is necessary to prevent repeated socially dangerous acts;
• if the child has nowhere to live;
• the offender refuses to appear in court or fails to undergo a medical examination.

Boarding schools in St. Petersburg and Moscow

The most famous boarding institution for troubled teenagers (St. Petersburg) is closed school No. 1. The establishment dates back to 1965. It is located on Akkuratova Street at number 11. This is a closed boarding school for difficult teenagers, which means that children come here by court decision. There is iron discipline, movement around the perimeter and checkpoints at the entrance.

There is a boarding school for troubled teenagers in Moscow. Institution No. 9 is located on Zhigulenkov Boris Street in building 15, building 1. Unlike the St. Petersburg boarding school, this boarding school is open-type. Children with deviant behavior can end up here by decision of their parents or the recommendation of a special commission. The rules here are not as strict as in closed institutions.

Can troubled teenagers be re-educated?

It must be said that every difficult teenager has different problems. Sometimes it takes only one month to teach a child to be responsible for his actions, and sometimes it takes a teenager six months to adapt. Much depends on what psychological problems the boy or girl is currently experiencing.

Now teachers are arguing about whether working in boarding schools for troubled teenagers is producing results. At the moment, about seventy percent of students in such institutions significantly improve their knowledge in school subjects. In addition, students not only study in such institutions, but also spend the rest of their time. Thus, problem children create new ones and are more successfully socialized in society.

What should parents of difficult teenagers pay attention to?

They defend their independence. This phenomenon affects the child and he seems to behave strangely and unpredictably. Be that as it may, this condition is considered absolutely normal and characterizes adolescence.

Parents of difficult children often face other challenges. A boy or girl develops emotional and psychological problems and difficulties in learning. A troubled teenager often commits illegal acts and unjustifiably risky actions. Depression and anxiety may appear.

There are signs that your child is difficult. They are listed below:

1. Change in appearance. Unjustified weight gain or loss, self-harm.
2. Frequent quarrels, fights, complaints.
3. Poor academic performance, sleep disturbances, depression, thoughts of suicide.
4. Use of drugs, alcohol.
5. A sharp change in social circle, refusal to follow certain rules, lies, and so on.

The presence of problems in a teenager is the first signal that you need to establish contact with him. Your son or daughter should feel supported and understand that his parents love and accept him in any case. 
 It's important to find common topics

for conversations, encourage exercise, limit TV viewing and computer activities. Give your child advice, listen to him, do not show aggression. If you can't cope, seek help from specialists.

Group work helps you adapt and learn to exist in society, accept general rules and follow them. Group work is the only high-quality method of rehabilitation from alcohol addiction. This is the case when individual work is not just less effective, but not effective in principle.

2. Specializing in teenagers

Rehabilitation for adolescents is fundamentally different from rehabilitation for adults. Here there are differences in values ​​and age, and most importantly, “the absence of a bottom.” This is what experts call the high resource of the teenage body, which helps children easily endure Negative consequences drinking alcohol. When adolescents are placed in adult rehabilitation centers, a fairly low percentage is observed positive results. . This is due precisely to the lack of a group appropriate in terms of age and values, which allows the inclusion of recovery mechanisms. After all, the guys think, “Where am I, and where is this guy who’s an alcoholic,” “This will never happen to me.”

Special boarding schools for troubled teenagers: features, program, reviews

Adolescence begins when the child crosses the border of ten or eleven years, and continues until the age of 15-16. During this period, the child begins to perceive the world as an adult, model the behavior of elders, and draw conclusions independently. The child develops a personal opinion and seeks his place in society. Interest in the inner world is also increasing. A teenager knows how to set goals and achieve them.

In addition to psychological changes, physiological changes occur during this period of time: the child grows quickly, secondary sexual characteristics appear, hormonal levels change, and so on.

Teenage problems

Problems arise in teenagers for various reasons. But the basis can be based on the following internal conflicts:

1. The desire to become an adult, while denying the value guidelines by which adults live.
2. The feeling of being at the center of the Universe and the rejection of this by others.
3. Puberty and fear of the new self.
4. Attraction to teenagers of the opposite sex and inability to build relationships with peers.

As a result, it is difficult for a teenager to cope with new violent emotions, and parents should always be ready to support the child in a timely manner or give advice. If in adolescence, in addition to difficulties with changing the body, he is also beset by others, for example, low parental culture, alcoholism in the family, parents being busy with their own affairs or work, then such a person may fall into the category of “difficult”. For such people there are boarding schools for difficult teenagers.

How is the educational process organized in boarding schools?

Usually, special boarding schools for troubled teenagers end up with children with serious learning problems or those who have broken the law more than once. It is difficult to cope with special children, therefore, teachers with extensive experience, defectologists and psychologists operate in these educational institutions.

Often the teaching staff also includes people with medical education. Iron discipline is the basis of education in a boarding school for difficult teenagers. The main goal is to return the child to a normal worldview and life.

First, the pupils' level of knowledge and intellectual abilities are checked. The verification takes place in the form of testing. If the results reveal a developmental delay, the boy or girl can even be taught a primary school curriculum.

The behavior of difficult teenagers is based on violations of psychological development, so students from a boarding school for difficult children constantly communicate with a psychologist. Such conversations take place individually. Based on the results, the specialist tries to find the basis - the reason for such behavior of the student.

In a boarding school for troubled teenagers, all children are constantly under the supervision of a teacher, and on Saturday and Sunday they have the right to go to their parents, although some stay on weekends.

Closed and open boarding schools

These establishments are of open and closed type. The first of them are similar to cadet corps or Suvorov schools. There is discipline and a daily routine, but children study according to the standard school curriculum (adjusted for mental abilities, of course), and can go to their parents on weekends. In closed boarding schools, everything is much more serious - there are checkpoints, marching in formation, and regular classes with a psychologist. Some pupils in such institutions do not go home on weekends, but parents can visit them on the territory of the boarding school.

Reasons to send a teenager to a boarding school for difficult children

The reasons for sending a child to a special school are as follows:

• committing a crime if the age does not correspond to the onset of criminal liability;
• the age corresponds to criminal responsibility, but the child is lagging behind in mental development;
• the teenager was convicted under articles providing for a crime of average gravity, but was released from punishment under the relevant articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The Commission on Juvenile Affairs petitions the court to send the offender to a special boarding school for troubled teenagers. Before the case is heard in court, the minor is given a medical examination and referred to a psychiatrist. If the parents do not agree to these measures, all procedures are carried out by court decision.

Temporary detention centers

Before the court hearing, the child may be sent to a temporary detention center for up to 30 days. This happens in the following cases:

• when the life or health of a teenager must be protected;
• it is necessary to prevent repeated socially dangerous acts;
• if the child has nowhere to live;
• the offender refuses to appear in court or fails to undergo a medical examination.

Boarding schools in St. Petersburg and Moscow

The most famous boarding institution for troubled teenagers (St. Petersburg) is closed school No. 1. The establishment dates back to 1965. It is located on Akkuratova Street at number 11. This is a closed boarding school for difficult teenagers, which means that children come here by court decision. There is iron discipline, movement around the perimeter and checkpoints at the entrance.

There is a boarding school for troubled teenagers in Moscow. Institution No. 9 is located on Zhigulenkov Boris Street in building 15, building 1. Unlike the St. Petersburg boarding school, this boarding school is open-type. Children with deviant behavior can end up here by decision of their parents or the recommendation of a special commission. The rules here are not as strict as in closed institutions.

Can troubled teenagers be re-educated?

It must be said that every difficult teenager has different problems. Sometimes it takes only one month to teach a child to be responsible for his actions, and sometimes it takes a teenager six months to adapt. Much depends on what psychological problems the boy or girl is currently experiencing.

Now teachers are arguing about whether working in boarding schools for troubled teenagers is producing results. At the moment, about seventy percent of students in such institutions significantly improve their knowledge in school subjects. In addition, students not only study in such institutions, but also spend the rest of their time. Thus, problem children create new circle communication and socialize more successfully in society.

What should parents of difficult teenagers pay attention to?

During adolescence children defend their independence. This phenomenon affects the child and he seems to behave strangely and unpredictably. Be that as it may, this condition is considered absolutely normal and characterizes adolescence.

There are signs that your child is difficult. They are listed below:

1. Change in appearance. Unjustified weight gain or loss, self-harm.
2. Frequent quarrels, fights, complaints.
3. Poor academic performance, sleep disturbances, depression, thoughts of suicide.
4. Use of drugs, alcohol.
5. A sharp change in social circle, refusal to follow certain rules, lies, and so on.

The presence of problems in a teenager is the first signal that you need to establish contact with him. Your son or daughter should feel supported and understand that his parents love and accept him in any case. It is important to find common topics for conversation, encourage exercise, limit TV viewing and computer activities. Give your child advice, listen to him, do not show aggression. If you can't cope, seek help from specialists.

Special schools are not only educational institutions with in-depth study of mathematics or French. It is also essentially a prison boarding school for teenagers under 14 years of age. Although legally, of course, special schools do not belong to the penitentiary system, but to the Ministry of Education.

The fact is that, by law, teenagers under 14 years old cannot be sent to prison. Therefore, special schools are a kind of colony for children who have committed crimes.

I remember there was a rowdy boy in our 5th grade class. He robbed young children, often fought, teachers said about him: he will end up in jail. Once in a fight he knocked out another guy’s eye. After that, we all heard this harsh word - “special school”. This is where our hooligan was sent.

What is a special school? Officially, this institution is called a closed educational institution. That is, essentially, a boarding school. Teenagers aged 11-14 who have committed criminal acts end up there.

Children under 14 years of age in Russia are not subject to criminal prosecution, although legislators have been cherishing the idea of ​​lowering this age for many years, which, in principle, is logical. Crime is getting younger. Nowadays there are already ten-year-old murderers and twelve-year-old sexual maniacs. There are many who, after committing crimes
do not bear any criminal liability. Childhood and teenage criminality is quite natural - there are a huge number of street children in Russia.

There are sorely not enough special schools for all juvenile delinquents. Although it also happens that a special school is filled to half its capacity: there are too many escapes. It’s not difficult to make a “leap” from there. I spoke with a convict who was serving a sentence in a juvenile colony, and before that spent a year and a half in a special school. He said that it was easy to escape from this place and the guys fought every week.

As the teachers of these closed institutions say, many of their “guests” do not know how to read or write at all. Therefore, it is almost impossible to build an educational process with them. According to statistics, 88% of special school graduates subsequently end up in prison. I spoke with one of these, Anton V., when he was already in pre-trial detention. He ended up in a special school at the age of thirteen for domestic murder. Having left it, he held out for a year, and then he ended up in the “juvenile” zone for robbery. Well, now it’s completely “adult”. This is the career ladder. And it all started with a special school. These are truly teenage “universities” in front of the zone. And the orders there are appropriate.

In principle, a special school, although it is not an institution related to the prison system, by the way, it certainly is. Already there, children receive basic knowledge behind bars: the common fund also meets there, there are their own authorities and “offended”. When something is ingrained in your head at such a tender age, it will last for the rest of your life. If everything is fine with the “concepts” in special schools, then with the security of such institutions everything is very bad. Almost only women work as teachers, and they are not particularly upset about running away - anyway, there is not enough money for all the children.

The authorities' concern about the large number of juvenile criminals walking free recently resulted in the idea of ​​increasing the number of special schools. Of course, on the one hand, this is correct. But in their current form, special schools and orphanages can even more traumatize a child’s psyche than the street with its cruel laws of survival. In addition to the fact that children from the very early age They live according to the laws of the zone, and their “guard” teachers sometimes commit such atrocities!

Probably every six months, one scandal or another arises around a sadistic teacher who regularly beats, rapes, and tortures children. And in principle, teachers do not show much zeal for their work for ridiculous money. And this work is extremely difficult: difficult children are not sugar. In many correctional colonies now we have managed to establish and living conditions, and the educational process. Therefore, in the case of special schools, it is worth starting with this. And a simple increase in the number of schools will only establish conveyor belt supplies to the zones of young, but already literate in all criminal bells and whistles, criminals.

Perhaps it really is worth lowering the age of criminal responsibility for juvenile offenders. After all, a special school gives them a feeling of impunity: no matter what you do, even murder, nothing will happen to you. This feeling of permissiveness remains for the rest of your life, that’s what’s scary. IN in this case It is appropriate to recall the famous case. It thundered throughout the entire Soviet Union.

The only case in history when a minor murderer was sentenced to death and executed. This teenager smoked from the age of 4, was registered in the children's room of the police from the age of 7, stole, drank. On his fifteenth birthday, Neiland brutally murdered a woman and her two-year-old son. The purpose of the murders is a raid on a wealthy apartment. I got the idea from the Izvestia newspaper, which published the adventures of the then-famous mogrusher Vladimir Ionesyan, nicknamed Mosgaz. The woman’s corpse was later found to have 17 chopped wounds, 32 bruises and 33 abrasions. When the investigator asked why Neiland also needed to kill a two-year-old boy, the killer shrugged: “When the woman screamed, the child woke up and began to cry loudly. I got angry with him and first stunned him, and then hit him on the head with an ax until he fell silent.”

After the murder, Neyland calmly climbed into the refrigerator and had a delicious lunch. And the proceeds from the robbery amounted to only 57 rubles. Arkashka was detained due to his location in Sukhumi. Despite being a minor, he was sentenced to death. The world community was indignant: how is it possible, what kind of morals are there in the USSR when children are executed?! But Secretary General Nikita Khrushchev confirmed the verdict with his order.
