And the director told us that the school had no money, and if we didn’t want to, we could not buy, but write in ordinary ones .... but it’s better to buy ... Maria-zaya
We need to look for regulations. As far as I remember, the Department of Education issued some kind of explanatory letter, which states that workbooks cannot be purchased at the expense of funds allocated for the purchase of textbooks.
I myself have not seen this decision. I think you just need to write a request to the Department of Education. http://www.nsktv.ru/news/education/v_nekotorykh_novosibirskikh_shkolakh_s_roditeley_sobirayut_dengi_na_besplatnye_uchebniki_080220171802/

So, who should buy workbooks? Is there anyone who went against the system and who succeeded? It turned out without consequences for the reputation of the child? The teacher told us about workbooks like this: "They are not a prerequisite, and no one can force you to buy them. If you refuse, then I will teach your children without these notebooks, but it will be more convenient for me and your children with them" . The list of notebooks was proposed by the teacher, for agreement with the parents. Everyone bought, there were no protesters. Yes, it’s not so insulting when you buy a notebook and the teacher then uses it all, gives assignments. Then it's kind of clear. But when you buy, and only 25% is used, you really think - why did you pay 150 rubles?

I force my son to do all the tasks at the end of the quarter))) Here I am such an evil mother))) Textbooks - to study, and workbooks - to make life easier for teachers and parents' pockets. By the beginning of the middle link, I remember, she wrote quite quickly and quite accurately. But the elder son and his classmates are used to workbooks, computers, etc., speed, and so on. appropriate. Clearly, we need to practice, we are doing interesting tasks. But it turns out this, preparation for scientific and practical conferences, explanation of complex topics, crafts - sorry, if this is for parents, then what is the work of a teacher ?!
The teacher of her son asks and demands, affirms and insists: workbooks are needed. And then a child out of four has an empty one and a half. Well, or all four. What is it like? Each of the notebooks is not expensive, but together they cost a pretty penny. But the teacher of additional English (non-school), seeing the child's textbook and workbook downloaded on the Internet and printed on the printer at home, on the contrary, praised the child.
In other words, this is all - the lack of a creative approach, professional burnout and, ultimately, banal human laziness, in my opinion. Of course, I am not against workbooks, contour maps and so on. in general - but only if they are used correctly. And there the teacher, according to his allowance, can make photocopies for each child in the class, if there is a desire. My son is in second grade. Bought workbooks for all subjects. A workbook on literary reading, the world around us - in my opinion, in general, complete insanity in content. Notebooks in Russian and mathematics remained almost half filled. And what is their meaning? Only increase the weight of the backpack. From the second grade, they can be completely painlessly replaced with ordinary notebooks.

As for the fact that "the deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the NSO did not read the letter of the regional minister." On the other hand, they read the budget and know better than the regional and federal ministers what it will be enough for. Notebooks are free if students return them to the library in an unwritten form after the end of the educational process, because. The training kit is bought by the school for 5 years. But then their meaning is lost, because they are needed in order to write in them.
So if you don't want to, don't buy, but you'll have to write somewhere else. School textbooks no longer cost parents a penny - their children receive temporary use in the school library. But what about workbooks, contour maps and other "disposable" teaching aids? Our forum even posted a letter from NSO Education Minister Sergei Nelyubov, sent to subordinate institutions in August, which stated: if a workbook is included in a set of teaching aids, it should be given out free of charge!

Alas, alas, the deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the NSO did not read the letter of the regional minister, and, as it turned out, the minister had already changed his mind. So our chosen ones firmly decided to shift these costs onto the shoulders of their parents ...

Kettle
Don't invent. The program must be approved and it becomes automatically learning according to certain norms and standards.
This means that now the notebooks included in this program are issued by the school.
And if parents strongly want to engage in additional education, then let them do it after the main program by agreement with the teacher. Do not forget that under the Education Act, parents have the right to participate in the educational process. For example, at a parent meeting, make a decision that they (the parents) suggest that the teacher use manuals (workbooks) that are not provided for by the work program. And they promise to buy at their own expense (i.e. at the expense of their parents). Everything is legal. SantaAlex, Natalya B. If you fight for the implementation of the laws, there is a chance to achieve one of two things - either they will give out benefits, or teachers will be forced to teach the entire class without using benefits, because the use of these benefits is not officially declared in the school curriculum. Nikitina M.
You should ask the principal, in writing by way of application, if workbooks are included in your class curriculum. If they enter, then the school is obliged to issue. if not, then it is forbidden to study these notebooks.
Because at school you can only do what is approved in the main program, for which a certain time is allotted.
If these notebooks are not included, but parents want to use them, then they can do it after the main program.
I also want to draw your attention to the fact that photocopies are prohibited, both according to SanPin and copyright.

10.6. The educational weekly load is evenly distributed during the school week, while the volume of the maximum allowable load during the day is:
- for students of the 1st grade - should not exceed 4 lessons and 1 day a week - no more than 5 lessons, at the expense of a physical education lesson;
- for students of grades 2-4 - no more than 5 lessons, and once a week 6 lessons at the expense of a physical education lesson with a 6-day school week;
- for students in grades 5-6 - no more than 6 lessons;
- for students in grades 7-11 - no more than 7 lessons.
The schedule of lessons is compiled separately for compulsory and optional classes. Extracurricular activities should be scheduled on the days with the fewest compulsory lessons. Between the start of extracurricular activities and the last lesson, it is recommended to arrange a break of at least 45 minutes.
2) FEDERAL LAW of December 29, 2012 N 273-FZ (as amended on May 7, 2013 with amendments that entered into force on May 19, 2013) "ON EDUCATION IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION" http://zakonbase.ru/zakony/ob-obrazovanii /
article 13, clause 10. Federal state bodies, state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, exercising state administration in the field of education, local governments exercising management in the field of education, are not entitled to change the curriculum and calendar curriculum of organizations engaged in educational activities.
What we have in total...
The curriculum and everything in the schedule is FREE.
The break between the study load and electives (circles) PAID or free (there are some) should be 45 minutes.

Added after 1 minute 19 seconds:

1) If there is no information on the school website about the curriculum of a general education institution for the next academic year (which in itself is a gross violation of the current legislation), then parents should demand that the school management provide them with a local act, which should list textbooks and teaching aids used in the educational process at their school and approved by the director of the educational institution. Until the parents have the appropriate document, they should not pay for the proposed RT.

2) If there are no recommended teaching aids in the local act, then parents can, in accordance with the recommendations of the teacher, at their own request, absolutely voluntarily purchase them at their own expense. At the same time, it must be remembered that the recommended teaching aids that are not included in the educational program of this educational institution can be used by the teacher only as part of additional study of the subject.
Art.101.2. Paid educational services cannot be provided instead of educational activities, the financial support of which is carried out at the expense of the budgetary allocations of the federal budget, the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and local budgets. Funds received by organizations engaged in educational activities in the provision of such paid educational services are returned to those who paid for these services.
According to SanPiN 2.4.7.1166-02 (clause 2.2), educational publications, depending on the functional purpose in the learning process, are divided into a textbook, a manual and a workshop. Also, a separate group includes educational publications of a new generation - a textbook-notebook, an individual workbook, a book for independent work of students, an album-task book, a notebook for creative tasks, etc., which this classifier refers to workshops. Since December 2014, paragraph 2.2 in SanPiN 2.4.71166-02 has become invalid, and at present it is indicated in SanPiN 2.4.71166-02 that the workbook is also a manual. Thus, there are no contradictions between GOST 7.60-2003 and SanPiN 2.4.71166-02, and the workbook in all standards is a “training manual”.
If an educational organization considers that one textbook will not be enough for a student to master a subject, but something else is needed, for example, a workbook, a task book, an atlas or a contour map, and in principle it is impossible to do without all this, then all these publications are entered into the educational plan and are included in the curriculum for this subject. In accordance with the approved curriculum, the general education organization draws up an application to the parent organization for the purchase of these training sets at the expense of budgetary appropriations.
And the norms for the school on which they rely
Article 8.1 of the Law "On Education": The powers of state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the field of education include:

3) ensuring state guarantees for the realization of the rights to receive public and free pre-school education in municipal pre-school educational organizations, public and free pre-school, primary general, basic general, secondary general education in municipal general educational organizations, ensuring additional education of children in municipal general educational organizations through the provision of subventions local budgets, including labor costs, the purchase of textbooks and teaching aids, teaching aids, games, toys (except for the costs of maintaining buildings and paying utility bills), in accordance with the standards determined by the state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation;

10) organizing the provision of municipal educational organizations and educational organizations of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation with textbooks in accordance with the federal list of textbooks recommended for use in the implementation of state-accredited educational programs of primary general, basic general, secondary general education by organizations engaged in educational activities, and teaching aids, approved for use in the implementation of these educational programs;

Article 18.2 The norms for the provision of educational activities with educational publications per student in the main educational program are established by the relevant federal state educational standards.

Art.28.2. Educational organizations are free to determine the content of education, the choice of educational and methodological support, educational technologies for the educational programs they implement.

Art.28.3. The competence of an educational organization in the established field of activity includes:

9) determination of the list of textbooks in accordance with the approved federal list of textbooks recommended for use in the implementation of state-accredited educational programs of primary general, basic general, secondary general education by organizations engaged in educational activities, as well as teaching aids approved for use in the implementation of these educational programs of such organizations;

Art.35.1. Students who master the basic educational programs at the expense of the budgetary allocations of the federal budget, the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local budgets within the limits of federal state educational standards, educational standards, organizations engaged in educational activities are provided free of charge for use during the period of education, textbooks and teaching aids, and also educational and methodical materials, means of training and education.

Art.35.2. The provision of textbooks and teaching aids, as well as educational and methodological materials, means of training and education of organizations engaged in educational activities on basic educational programs, within the limits of federal state educational standards, educational standards is carried out at the expense of the budgetary allocations of the federal budget, the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local budgets. If anyone knows, please let me know. Our school is engaged in the "School 2100" program, which is not recommended for use, some say that it is generally prohibited (?). Textbooks were given to us, and notebooks were ordered to buy. So, teaching children according to such a program, the school is also obliged to issue notebooks? Does the budget allocate money for them? Or is it necessary to start with a request to change the program? Hochunka
in fact of the matter. The school has only one program "School of Russia" and workbooks for these textbooks and there are no others. Tests and test papers (which they asked to buy) are clear that, in theory, they could do without them, and workbooks in mathematics, the world around them, and without them, they only write in them.

Workbooks will become a mandatory learning tool

Statistical data show that Russian schools have ceased to use subject workbooks in their work. The reasons for this decrease in activity are quite clear: who will purchase the training material and with what funds? But, unfortunately, the consequences of not using notebooks can be much more serious than it seems.

According to Lyudmila Verbitskaya, Chairman of the Federal Educational Establishment for General Education, this practice violates the integrity of the teaching materials and leads to many difficulties that schoolchildren and teachers themselves may encounter in the learning process.

“The exclusion of a workbook from the educational process threatens the achievement of the goals set in the educational program for the formation of a competent, thinking, creative young person capable of solving non-standard tasks.”

Ludmila Verbitskaya President of the Russian Academy of Education, Academician of the Russian Academy of Education, Chairman of the Federal UMO for General Education.

Who can purchase workbooks?

“The issue of providing students with workbooks belongs to the competence of general educational organizations” ( Clause 2 of Part 3 of Article 28 of the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation")

Thus, the school has the right to purchase textbooks, teaching aids, educational and methodological materials, as well as means of education and upbringing, at the expense of federal budget allocations. The workbook as an educational publication is included in this list (GOST 7.60-2003), as well as anthologies, workshops, educational visual aids, etc.

The workbook is included in the set of manuals designed to prepare for the unified state exam. The material is built according to the thematic principle, includes all the main topics of the Russian language course, which makes it possible to start preparing for the exam from the 10th grade both in class and independently. The workbook is addressed primarily to high school students, their parents and teachers of the Russian language, applicants and teachers of pre-university training courses. Corresponds to the federal state educational standard of secondary general education (2012).

Should parents buy workbooks?

The school is not obliged to provide the student with workbooks along with textbooks, it only has the right to do this if there is a request and the corresponding amounts in the budget. Article 35 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 "On Education in the Russian Federation" contains the following words: "organizations engaged in educational activities are provided free of charge for use during the period of education textbooks and teaching aids ...". Let us draw your attention to the words "for use", and not for ownership. The textbook is returned to the library, while the workbook is intended for active filling, drawings, and assignments. It is not possible to return it to the library for later use by other students.

In our opinion, according to the article of the above law, workbooks are not subject to free delivery. However, the school has the right to purchase them at the discretion of the teachers (and parents), subject to the availability of free budgetary funds. In their absence and by mutual agreement, the purchase of this part of the educational and methodological complex, alas, often falls on the shoulders of the parents.

The workbook is part of the CMD on the history of Russia I.L. Andreeva, L.M. Lyashenko, O.V. Volobuev and others and corresponds to the Federal State Educational Standard of basic general education and the historical and cultural standard. The structure of the workbook corresponds to the structure of the textbook for grade 10 by O.V. Volobueva, S.P. Karpachev, P.N. Romanova. The notebook contains a variety of tasks: tests, writing an essay, working with a historical map, matching dates and events, etc. and adapted for training students for the OGE and the USE. Special signs mark tasks aimed at the formation of meta-subject skills (planning activities, highlighting various features, comparing, classifying, establishing cause-and-effect relationships, transforming information, etc.) and personal qualities of students.

Infographics VTsIOM. What do mothers of Russian schoolchildren think about workbooks

A workbook is a textbook that has a special didactic apparatus that facilitates the student's independent work on mastering a subject. The workbook and the textbook together make up an educational and methodological set and significantly improve the assimilation of the educational material, as well as increase the progress of students in various subjects.

“Workbooks can significantly increase the effectiveness of student learning. They help the teacher to achieve the necessary results of the implementation of the GEF. Practice shows that it is advisable to carry out further development of students with the help of additional teaching aids. The use of additional teaching aids has a direct impact on improving the subject results of students. Indirect evidence of this fact can be considered the results of the international study PIRLS (Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) of the past - 2017 - year. Russian fourth-graders demonstrated the highest results in mastering reading among their peers from 50 countries of the world. All teaching materials for elementary school include workbooks, and this could not but have an impact on such a high final result., -

Ruslan Gagkuev, Editor-in-chief of the DROFA-VENTANA publishing house

“Workbooks improve the learning process, and most importantly, they help keep students motivated and interested. We often do not know how to support it. If homework, independent work, even work in the classroom turns into a routine for the guys, copying, of course, is lost both precious time and interest.

Irina Abankina Director of the Institute for the Development of Education.

1. The workbook helps to save the student's time in class and when doing homework. The student independently obtains knowledge, and not just memorizes the material, and does this in a form of tasks that is convenient and understandable for him.

2. The workbook contributes to the deepening of the student's knowledge, as it contains additional material that was not included in the textbook. With the help of it, the child consolidates the knowledge gained in the lesson, learns to think critically and independently set educational goals.

3. A workbook is an indispensable assistant in preparing for exams. Many notebooks have tasks in the USE format, as well as material required for passing intermediate certifications in a creative and unusual form. With the help of workbooks, the child can methodically prepare for exams, and the teacher can qualitatively and objectively check the level of preparation of the student.

The school does not have to...

To provide the student with workbooks along with textbooks, she only has the right to do this if there is a request and the corresponding amounts in the budget. Article 35 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 “On Education in the Russian Federation” contains the following words: “organizations engaged in educational activities are provided with textbooks and teaching aids free of charge for the duration of education ...”. Let us draw your attention to the words "for use", and not for ownership. The textbook is returned to the library, while the workbook is intended for active filling, drawings, and assignments. It is not possible to return it to the library for later use by other students. Thus, according to the article of the above law, workbooks are not subject to free delivery. However, the school has the right to purchase them at the discretion of the teachers (and parents), subject to the availability of free budgetary funds. In their absence and by mutual agreement, the purchase of this part of the educational and methodological complex, alas, falls on the shoulders of the parents.

The school must...

“The issue of providing students with workbooks falls within the competence of general educational organizations” (paragraph 2 of part 3 of article 28 of the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”) as well as means of education and upbringing. The workbook as an educational publication is included in this list (GOST 7.60-2003), as well as anthologies, workshops, educational visual aids, etc.

Part 2 of Article 43 of the Russian Constitution guarantees the general availability and free of charge of preschool, basic general and secondary vocational education in state or municipal educational institutions and enterprises. The same article also mentions the Federal State Educational Standard.

In fact, this turns the Federal State Educational Standard into a basic financial document that defines the boundaries of the amount of school funding from the budgets of various levels - after all, it is he who outlines and deciphers the amount of free educational services that the school should provide in relation to an individual student.

Take, for example, the GEF of primary general education. It includes requirements for personnel, financial, logistical and other conditions for the implementation of the educational program. Accordingly, the amount of financial resources allocated from the relevant budget must ensure the presence of all these conditions.

Specifically: according to paragraph 27 of the said Federal State Educational Standard, an organization carrying out educational activities must be provided with textbooks, educational and methodological literature and materials in all academic subjects of the main educational program of primary general education in the languages ​​of instruction and upbringing determined by the founder of the organization carrying out educational activities.

The rate of provision of educational activities with educational publications is determined, among other things, based on the calculation of “at least one textbook in printed and (or) electronic form or a teaching aid sufficient to master the program of a subject for each student for each subject included in the part formed by the participants educational relations, the curriculum of the main educational program of primary general education”.

This position is also supported by Part 1 of Article 35 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation”, which provides that students who master basic educational programs at the expense of budgetary allocations within the limits of federal state educational standards, organizations implementing educational activities, textbooks and teaching aids are provided free of charge for use at the time of education at the expense of the appropriate budget.

True, if everything is clear with textbooks, then the question of the content of the term "textbook" remains controversial (and, accordingly, the question of the legality of allocating budget funds for the free provision of certain textbooks to students remains controversial). In particular, in the practice of educational authorities, courts and the prosecutor's office, disputes were recorded on classifying workbooks as textbooks.

So, for example, in accordance with the Appeal ruling of the Judicial Collegium for Civil Cases of the Supreme Court of the Komi Republic dated May 22, 2014 in case No.

«Prosecutor of Syktyvkar in the interests of... FULL NAME1 filed a lawsuit against MAOU "SOSH N 36" imposing the obligation to provide the student with the following free teaching aids: – Isaeva H.A. Russian language workbook... class (to the textbook "Russian language"... class, R.N. Buneeva, E.V. Buneeva, O.V. Pronina), Balass LLC, - Vakhrushev A.A. ., Bursky O.V., Rautian A.S. Workbook for the textbook "The World Around" ("Inhabitants of the Earth") for ... class, OOO "Balass", Danilov D.D., Kuznetsova S.S., Sizova E.V. Workbook for the textbook "The World Around" ("My Fatherland") for ... class, OOO "Balass" and others.

The parties disagreed on the understanding of the workbook. The prosecutor insisted on referring the workbook to the teaching aids themselves, without the use of which it is impossible to master the material from the textbook.

MAOU "Secondary School No. 36" believed that the workbook is not a teaching aid, and with reference to SanPiN 2.4.7.1166-02, approved by the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation on 07.10.2002, attributed them to workshops.

In making its decision, the court proceeded from the following.

According to GOST 7.60-2003, a textbook itself is a textbook that supplements or replaces partially or completely a textbook officially approved as this type of publication. In turn, the workbook is defined as a textbook that has a special didactic apparatus that facilitates the student's independent work on mastering the subject.

According to SanPiN 2.4.7.1166-02, depending on the functional purpose in the learning process, publications are divided into:

- textbook;

- tutorial;

- practicum.

Educational publications of a new generation - a textbook-notebook, an individual workbook, a book for independent work of students, an album-task book, a notebook for creative tasks, etc. – should be referred to as practicums.

Thus, both GOST 7.60-2003 and SanPiN 2.4.7.1166-02 distinguish the workbook into an independent section (“workbook” and “workshop”, respectively), since it is used only for individual independent work.

There is no reason to believe that workbooks are an integral part of the textbook, supplement or replace it, therefore, they cannot be classified as a textbook within the meaning of the above regulations.

The position of the school was also based on the fact that workbooks are not included in the lists of textbooks recommended (approved) for use in the educational process in educational institutions implementing educational programs of general education, and, therefore, an educational institution is not entitled to purchase at the expense of the state teaching aids, textbooks not included in the federal list, otherwise would lead to unreasonable, inappropriate expenses. He pointed out that workbooks are not intended for repeated use and do not meet the characteristics of teaching aids, therefore they cannot be the subject of an order and should not be used to replenish the library fund and issue on a return basis.

Based on the foregoing, the court satisfied the school's demands and concluded that the prosecutor's demands to impose the obligation to provide school students with workbooks free of charge were unlawful.

There is also similar judicial practice in the Arkhangelsk region and in the Republic of Tatarstan.

Nevertheless, the Federal Ministry issued a letter dated September 25, 2014 No. 08-PG-MON-30770, explaining that the workbook is an educational publication that has a special didactic apparatus that promotes the student's independent work on mastering the subject. This position directly goes back to the document “GOST 7.60-2003. Interstate standard. System of standards on information, librarianship and publishing. Editions. Main types. Terms and definitions”, introduced by the Decree of the State Standard of Russia dated November 25, 2003 No. 331-st. According to him, the workbook is a kind of teaching aid.

According to the above Letter of the Ministry, the literal interpretation of Article 35 of the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” indicates the student’s right to receive textbooks and teaching aids free of charge for the duration of education within clearly established limits. A general education organization independently determines the list of textbooks and teaching aids necessary for the implementation of general education programs (Item 9, Part 3, Article 28 of the Federal Law).

Providing textbooks and teaching aids to students in basic general education programs is an expense obligation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (clause 3 of part 1 of Article 8 of the Federal Law).

The issue of providing students with textbooks and teaching aids in accordance with the above list falls within the competence of the general educational organization (paragraph 2 of part 3 of Article 28 of the Federal Law). The decision to purchase them is made by the educational organization based on the expediency and efficiency of the use of funds brought to the educational organization.

Thus, at present, a controversial position has been formed regarding the application of the norms of legislation.

The Ministry of Education and Science in the above letter actually invites schools to resolve this controversial issue on their own.

Nevertheless, it is obvious that in the case when workbooks are recommended for teaching by individual teachers as part of a more in-depth study of the subject than provided by the Federal State Educational Standard, or within the framework of any author's methodology, it is wrong to impose on an educational organization the obligation to provide such workbooks. In all other cases, when the availability of an appropriate workbook is a prerequisite for mastering the Federal State Educational Standard, the obligation to provide such workbooks should be assigned to the educational organization.

At the same time, in order to eliminate contradictions within the framework of law enforcement practice, it is advisable to provide more clear legal regulation of the expenditure obligations of the relevant budgets in terms of providing teaching aids, including workbooks.

Workbooks on a printed basis are an integral part of teaching aids - this is how parents have become accustomed to thinking in recent years. They begin to think about their acquisition long before the start of the new academic year, in April-May. For many, the news that now there is no need to buy notebooks came as a surprise.

“We were told about this at the parent meeting. On the one hand, the news is good, I think that these benefits are not necessary for all subjects. But, as the teacher explained, the textbooks remain the same. We collectively decided that we would still buy notebooks for the main subjects, ”says the mother of a fifth-grader from one of the Dean schools, Elena.

The textbook is designed in such a way that you can not use a notebook on a printed basis. A workbook is like an auxiliary methodological material for a textbook. Therefore, in accordance with the law "On Education" we have two ways out of this situation. Either the school purchases both textbooks and workbooks at the expense of subventions, or only textbooks and does without notebooks. When calculating the amount of money for the purchase of teaching aids, there is no guarantee that they will be enough for everything. Therefore, those teachers who believe that a notebook in their subject is needed ask their parents to purchase them. We do not oblige any of the parents to purchase these notebooks. Today, you can do without them.

Marina Ezhkova, Head of the Department of Education of the Moscow Region Dinskoy District.

Also, the Department of Education explained that if parents wish to buy workbooks, they must draw up a donation agreement for these benefits to the school. Otherwise, it will be regarded as extortions, which are now being fought.

"There are categories of parents who do not have the opportunity to purchase notebooks on a printed basis. In no case, neither the school nor the teacher have the right to demand their purchase," Marina Ezhkova summed up.

Recall that earlier RVS raised the issue of acquiring workbooks at the expense of parents.

So, the mother of a student complained about the number of notebooks needed for teaching in schools.

She said that a briefcase with 5 textbooks, 5 workbooks and a pencil case for one day can weigh up to 3 kilograms. And it takes 7-8 hours to complete homework on these notebooks.
