A Promise

Earlier today
I was taking
my dog out
for her walk

Just across
the street from
me was two
old men.

I'm fifty years
old. So believe
me.

If I say that
they were old
they were old.


They were OLD,
but they were
standing next to
a Bentley.


Two guys who
must have been
at least mid- 60's.

Wearing shorts, and
summer shirts, with
at least three buttons
undone.

It made me feel
sick.

It made me make
a promise to
myself.




 

THE COLORS I NEVER SAW

Your heart will always belong to me
Wherever we go makes not a difference
as long as we are always walking together. Love has many colors and are not always red
But my love for you will always be crimson
I will never stop you from doing what you should
because those things are what make you who you are
But as long as you always look at me through love's eyes
you will see the many things that others do not see in me
The sparkle in my eyes for you makes me realize many things
But what it shows me most, are the many colors that I don't see
in myself, and the many colors I never saw in you until now... 


I WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE YOU

I cherish you, and always want you near
When I wake, my first thoughts are of you
As I drift off into sleep, I can faintly hear your voice
You stand there waiting for me in my dreams
I would wait a lifetime for you if I had to
I will never be without you or the grip
of your arms around me.. How could I?
Together we are of the same heart
I know your hand always waits for mine
I pray at night that nothing takes you from me. Make no mistake.... I will always choose You.

Value of life 

It has been raining in one of Breut's narrow streets since Wednesday. The tireless rain has always dropped the mood of the street members. Anthony Dreyzer, a well-known critic of the street, after a short break he want to go to the cafe in the morning. He put on his long cloak and went out to the street with his hat on his head. He was imagining along the way: now he goes to the coffee shop, as always goes to the table 17 in front of the window, and drinks and controll the cafe's  diary ... He came to the door of the coffee shop and said, "Damn it!" 

Unfortunately, today was Sunday and the coffee shop was closed. On top of that, it was raining. Anthony, stepped back. Finally, he moved to the shelter. Anthony waited for the rain to slow down in front of an unfamiliar house. At that moment, an strange event happened: the door of the house opened and a woman who white as pale, appeared on the doorstep. Anthony shuddered to see him. Not everyone could be intimidated by such a cold person.

-I'm, I'm ...
The woman pointed inside with her hand. ... Anthony, who was watching the outside at the hotel window, just tried to look at the room. In one corner of the room there were two vibrating courses, a table adapted for one tea, medals and orders, and a shelf with ancient items. There are about twenty photos on the wall. Anthony looked at the pictures on the wall, and a ghost-like woman entered the room and handed him one of the coffees in his hand. 

Anthony took the coffee and did not thank. There were various pictures on the wall: a captain with several orders in his chest, a woman holding a flower, a military with a rifle, a couple of babies, a girl, a woman, a woman herself, three or four family pictures, and so on. Anthony recognized the girl in one of the photos. He saw him on the bridge last day.
- Is this your daughter? -Asked Anthony.
-Hmm ..., replied the woman, as if she were lifeless.
-Where's one?

- She died of disease for a six months ago ... I loved him so much ... (she was crying). There we were sowing grain for the birds. We would buy grain without melting and sprinkled with the birds. It was Anna's favorite hobby.
The coffee cup in Anthony's hand fell to the floor and shook. The conversation was over. The woman looked at Antony and was scared. Anthony was pale and frozen as a board.

When he ran out, the rain was still raging. Anthony ran to the bridge.After he arrived, he sat down. The rain was washing away his tears. Anthony remembered last day. Anthony's mother lived in another city, and she didn't go to see her mother. He would say the rest for a long time, and he would make an excuse. He recently went to the city on a job and saw his uncle. His uncle slapped him in the face and said his mother had died a month ago and that he had not even attended the funeral. Anthony's mother had just taken the letters written by her in the mailbox. It was impossible to read the pages that were in the rain and wet; They were torn. But when he read the incomprehensible word, he realized that his mother's eyes were very dim, her hands were trembling. His mother wrote that she missed.  Also she collected and sent her moneys for him. Anthony was very young and hated himself. He went to the bridge to kill himself; He wanted to throw himself into the river. But he saw Anna there.
- Do you want to do it?
-Yeah .
-Please, don't die. Millions of people want to be in your place.
-...
- Have you seen the chagles? -... - They dive into the sea every day to avoid starvation. I'm not going to make them die!

SE FOSSI POESIA 

Ti farei libera volare 
e senza più barriere 
la tua silenziosa melodia 
ti farei raccontare. 
Sul bocciolo più bello 
un raggio di sole 
ti farei lì posare 
e
come un treno in stazione 
farei tutti salire 
per scoprire ed osservare 
quell’attesa meraviglia. 
Se fossi una poesia 
la più bella sceglierei 
e la rosa d’Inghilterra 
farei nascere d’inverno.
 
In un libro di paesaggi 
scattati ad occhi chiusi 
la tua anima vagante 
si schiude in libertà

IF I WERE POETRY

I would set you free to fly
and without barriers
your silent melody
I would let you tell.
On the most beautiful bud
a ray of sunshine
I would make you sit there
And
like a train in the station
I'd get everyone up
to discover and observe
that expected wonder.
If I were a poem
I would choose the most beautiful
and the rose of England
I would give birth in winter.
 
In a book of landscapes
taken with eyes closed
your wandering soul
unfolds in freedom

APELIOTE

Ti inciderò in eterno
nello sguardo del mio verso
corteggiandoti in silenzio
senza un dopo
come petalo irlandese.
Ti inciderò in eterno
nel fatato firmamento
spezzando la tua rosa
che Belle richiese in dono.

Da Amore generato
con Psiche decantato
si generò passione
che nel cuore dell’inverno,
quando il gelo fa il suo ingresso
dal colore di cannella, all’orizzonte
c’è Urania che rinasce
per schiudersi Apeliote
dando vita al suo Ponente 

APELIOTES

I will engrave you forever
in the look of my verse
courting you in silence
without an after
like irish petal.
I will engrave you forever
in the fairy firmament
breaking your rose
which Belle requested as a gift.

From Love generated
with Psyche decanted
passion was born
that in the heart of winter,
when the frost sets in
cinnamon-colored, on the horizon
there is Urania who is reborn
to hatch Apeliote
giving life to its Ponente

Life 

When life dawns you only receive love 
It is the consolation for that new heart.
The smiles and the tears 
Accompanied  
Of a hug 
They become joy.
In the twilight of life darkens 
We forgot the smile everything gets blurry
In the mind full of responsibilities and obligations
In the night of life
Memories are transformed in nostalgic emotions.
At this age you enjoy breathe day by day and you treasure the moments so that in death
Good memories accompany you like food for the soul.

ABSTRACT
Uzbekistan has been trying to improve its
own education system and has turned to Finland as the best model
for reform. The Finnish approach emphasizes teacher autonomy
and a strong focus on student well-being. By introducing this
foreign experience, Uzbekistan hopes better academic outcomes for
its students and cultivate love for learning.

Introduction
As of late, there has been a lot of talk about the Finnish education system, which is often thought of as being very successful. First, in the Syrdarya region on November 8 in 2022 President Shavkat
Mirziyoyev claimed: "There is a problem with textbooks, so it is necessary to get into it. There were big discussions about the level of textbooks. We started making textbooks for grades 1-4 in line with
the Finnish standard. Why do you say that Finland's public education is resistant to competition on a European scale and in the world as a whole, and has had a lot of experience". 

Later, at a meeting dedicated to developing Kashkadarya region, it was decided that 48 schools in the region will begin using the Finnish education system starting in the next school year(2023-2024).The state inspection board for education quality control has reported that this issue was discussed with a Finnish expert.

However, is copying the Finnish education system a "magic pill" that will fix all our problems?

Finland is a country with a rich history of educational reform. They have implemented a number of changes that have improved the education system there immensely. They are now ranked above the
United States and are catching up to countries in Eastern Asia. Finland has been leading the way due to common- sense practices and holistic educating atmosphere which strives for equity rather than
excellence. There are 11 main features in the education system of Finland which are contributing to dominate the world stage with high results and why Uzbekistan is adopting the Finnish methods of
teaching.

NO STANDARDIZED TESTS AND MARKS
Unlike other countries, including Uzbekistan, where the majority of students learn to cram to pass tests, and teachers with the sole purpose of preparing students for passing tests only once, rather than teaching in a way that will help students in their real life, in Finland there is no standardized test. Children in this country are not expected to meet any continuous or summative assessments
until they turn 16. During primary schooling, their health and mental well-being are prioritized instead of forced rote learning, memorizing and hard homework. 

Only one exception is the exam called the National Matriculation Exam, which is optional for those who want to take after finishing
an upper-secondary school (from 7th grade to 9th grade), which reminds us our previous college system before 2017.

STARTING SCHOOL AT AN OLDER AGE
The Finns believe that it is better for children to have some freedom in their early years so that they can develop naturally. In fact, they start school at the age of seven, which is something that many
 
other countries do not do. The government allows children to skip school during their childhood years if they want to. This gives kids more freedom just be kids and not have to worry about school. 

Children in Finland are required to attend school for nine years, but after that, it's up to them whether or not they want to continue their education. From a psychological standpoint, the idea of
being "stuck in a prison" can be very frustrating. Finland believes that children should be prepared for the real world, so they don't have to live under an oppressive ideal.

FINNISH CHILDREN WAKE UP LATER ON SCHOOL DAYS
Waking up early, catching a bus or ride, participating in morning and after school extracurriculars can be a bit challenging for a schoolchild .Add to the fact that some classes start anywhere from 6am
to 8am making them sleepy and uninspired. Students start school between 9 and 9.45 . According to researchers, Early start times can have a negative impact on students’ well-being, health, and
development. The school has longer class periods and longer breaks (15 /20minutes) between them and only 3classes a day. This is so that the students can learn in a more relaxed and organized way.

LESS HOMEWORK REQUIRED
Finland is a country where students get a good education without having to worry about grades and busy-work. This way, they can focus on learning and growing as people. The OECD ( Organization
for Economic Co-operation and development) study found that Finnish students spend the least amount of time working on homework and outside of school activities, and they are also
outperforming other students around the world. This is likely because Finnish students don't have to spend as much time working on school tasks, and they have plenty of time for other activities.

COOPERATION NOT COMPETITION
The Finnish educational system is different from the way most Americans and other countries see it. In Finland, education is seen as a way to help people learn and grow, rather than as a
 competition. Although Finland doesn't use a system where schools and teachers are judged based on how well they perform, this has actually helped them become one of the most successful countries in
 the world when it comes to education. Schools in Finland don't focus on getting students high scores on tests or ranking them according to their individual abilities. Instead, they work together to provide
an education that everyone can benefit from.

GETTING EDUCATION FROM THE SAME TEACHER FOR MANY YEARS
Students in Finland often have the same teacher for up to six years of their education. During those years, teachers and students build trust and a strong bond. This is because teachers know and
understand the unique needs of each student. Finnish teachers take into account each student's individual progress and help them reach their goals. There is no transferring to the next teacher because there is never a 'next teacher'.

ONLY TEACHERS WITH MASTER’S DEGREE
Only specialists with a master's degree can work as teachers in the school. They are professions with high prestige and salary in the society, such as doctors and lawyers.

NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR TEACHERS
In most countries, teachers are usually blamed when students do not succeed in school. But in Finland, teachers are held to a very high standard, so there is often no need for a system that grades
teachers.

HIGH QUALITY TEXTBOOKS
Textbooks in school are arranged in a way that makes them roughly proportional to one another. For example, in the 6th grade, geography is taught about climate change, and biology and history also cover the topic. Climate change stages are also covered in math. The teachers can change the curriculum and teaching style to make it fit better with what they want. This makes Finnish education
one of the best around, according to the United Nations.

FREE ACCESS TO ANYTHING
In addition to the study itself, schools offer lots of free activities such as lunch, excursions, transport and all educational tools and textbooks, and collecting money from parents for any purpose is
prohibited .All educational establishments are fully funded by the government.

SHOWING GREAT RESULTS IN LANGUAGE ACQUIRING
Children in Finland should learn many foreign languages , and at 13 years old ,they can speak even in four languages.

HOW IS THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS IS GOING IN UZBEKISTAN?

For the implementation of the Finnish textbooks and teaching methods, 16 schools were chosen throughout the country. One of them is the 37th school , which is located in the far mountainous area
of Kitab district in Kashkadarya. Despite being relatively small and the location in rural area, Several reasonable aspects such as having nearly 20 highly qualified teachers,7 first qualified teachers and
other professional teachers, considerable results of previous-year school leavers in university entrance exams, and quality teaching maximized the opportunity to be selected. Large sums were
allocated to renovate and provide with modern educational tools together with completely new textbooks. 

In November, 12 primary school teachers were trained in Tashkent with other counterparts of the Republic for 2 weeks. Nowadays, Finland teaching experience is in a place in the grades from1 to 4 of this school. Teachers claim to witness significant progress as well as changes in the enthusiasm , interest of young children. In addition to easy to understand structure of textbooks, correlation the topics with other subjects( for example teaching transport modes in mother tongue lessons, in reading classes and finally giving mathematical problems about transport in math classes
 on the same day , as a result achieving improving overall understanding of children on transport), letting them express their opinions on any topic and motivating them with always excellent marks instead of bad ones are contributing to prepare pupils who can think independently, critically and make independent decisions.

We hope GREAT RESULTS from this offspring in the near future.
