Discussion on New Educational Specialties

We eat cool new Christmas trees.

And my daughter just asked me

what was the final straw that made me decide to move.

I tell her that the final straw was

when I went to submit

an application to the teachers' college for my daughter.

We wanted to study there remotely,

in Kurgan. And they told me they had introduced an additional specialty.

So I tell my daughter now, guess what it is.

An additional specialty for elementary school teachers and for

preschool teachers

throughout Russia

starting this year. What is it?

Well, something patriotic, probably.

What patriotic thing? Give me options.

What specialties could there be

like that?

Come on.

I asked everyone this question, and no one could guess.

I was shocked.

Training for something.

For what?

Like some kind of military courses?

No.

Some kind of emergency situations.

Well, emergency situations— that's very good.

All right, I won't torture you, you won't guess anyway.

Unmanned aerial vehicles.

What do you mean?

For a teacher?

For teachers and educators. Unmanned aerial vehicles

are an additional specialization for everyone starting this year.

I looked into it. I said, "Can't I choose something else?" They said,

"You can't, as of

this year."

I said, "Goodbye."

I left and started getting ready. That's it. I realized that everything,

that something was somehow not right.

I'm fed up with their additional specializations.

How many unnecessary classes I sat through at school.

Wait. An additional specialization isn't a bad thing.

But what additional specializations did we have before?

Teacher, psychologist, what else did I study to become?

You could train to be a seamstress.

But if you're a teacher, what else can you do? Some kind of medicine.

But drones for everyone—

That’s crazy, guys.

How does that even work out?

I don't know how it works out for some people, but it works out for someone.

It didn't work out for me, so I'm here.

We rented an apartment, and Erica lay down again.

Erica!

Get off the table. No!

Get down, get down! I'm telling you, jump down, go away.

No!
