A mother from Ploiești asks for the radical change of the Baccalaureate exam: Archive
A mother from Ploiești sent an exciting and criticizing letter to the Ministry of Education, expressing her revolt towards the baccalaureate program, which she considers outdated and ineffective for the real needs of today’s students. The woman speaks from the posture of a parent who sees her exhausted child and overwhelmed by a education system in which she is no longer found.
“My soul hurts for my child”
The letter was sent late at night, precisely because, as the woman confesses, parents no longer have quiet nights during this tense period in their children’s lives. “I am writing to you at late hour, indeed, because, unfortunately, we cannot have quiet nights during this period. I am referring to us, the parents of the children passing through this important exam for their future, the baccalaureate examination“, She begins her message, according to Click!.
The mother talks about the huge stress felt by young people and how inappropriate the exam topics are, which, in her opinion, offers nothing applicable in real life:
“I see my child, but also other children who go through this torment. I call them children, I know they are 18-19 years old, but they are still children. I call him torment because … Offff, there are so many reasons why my soul hurts for my stressed and scared child, for everyone’s children. I see the same comments to “touched” as 20 years ago, The same “famous” literary works from which they have nothing to learn for life. “
Hard criticism to the authors of the subjects: “It’s a beating”
The woman does not hesitate to accuse those who elaborate the subjects of baccalaureate, suggesting that they live in a broken bubble and that their decisions are far from the concerns and experiences of an 18-19 year old.
“You, the” enlightened minds “of the country that deal with these baccalaureate topics, imagine a moment what aberrant for a 19-year-old to characterize Harap-Alb? And not only that, to be a minimum of 400 words … This is this exam that decides his future? Honestly, this is a beating on the children and parents, you really make fun of our mental health ”she writes, deeply indignant.
Call for change
At the end of the letter, the woman makes a direct call to the authorities, demanding the reform of the baccalaureate, so as to become a truly relevant exam for the lives of young people.
“The president of the country has changed, the structure of the school year has changed, changing something to the “examination of life”, do something so that our children learn something to use them, to help them, to prepare them for life“She writes.
The woman ends her message with a hard personal confession, which emphasizes the uselessness of the content she learned in the baccalaureate, two decades ago: “I gave the bachelor 20 years ago, I learned a lot, the same pigs that my child teaches now, it was hard, I took a big note, I never used anything from everything I learned for this exam, nothing! Change something!“
