To the Editor Onliner.by received a letter from a teacher Vitebsk gymnasium . Teacher in amazement why it require to participate in the urban parade of Santa Clauses , and thus need to be carefully dressed , and where to get it - is unclear. The letter reads: "Parade - it's cool , but to him , as we opened , attached a bunch of people who do not have and do not want to have a relationship to it ."
"So school teachers require to go there - said mentor . - Should be in a suit ... Either ... Where did you take it, no one cares . Can not go - write an explanation , which give details of the cause. If deemed frivolous reason , it will be obliged to go. Refuse? Get reprimand. Of course, it will not necessarily for it, but invented for that - a simple matter . And then ministers say that teachers perform their work only and nothing more . "
To clarify the situation , the editorial department phoned ideology dealing organization , directing and concept of the parade .
- Of course, everyone goes , the whole city celebrates . This tradition , which for many years - explained Head of Natalia .
- Where can I take so many costumes?
- So take all somewhere , looking at cultural and educational institutions . Who requested them , and let those versed . When I organize their representatives in the column , then take the costumes cultural institution and distribute to people. They wear them and happily go to the parade . On similar parades we feel emotional union , covered the general idea , the thrill and excitement . If someone does not want to go and it is not a pleasant experience , they can safely say his administration : " I hold this position. Well I do not want to go "- and not to go. No one was fired. Yes, in that there are some difficulties : it is necessary to escape from household chores , see if there is a suit, or ask the organizers and get off at the parade . But believe me, then people are extremely happy and cheerful , because there is a sense of celebration . Here at home I have a very ordinary Santa Claus costume . I bought it for 130 thousand teachers can not buy it , and ask friends or me. For people of my generation [ Natalia was born in 1966 ], any event associated with the workforce , not only has the form of orders , but also unity. If I had my head said that I should participate in the parade , I would have smashed into the board and would have found this suit because the Soviet people. And young people today, unfortunately , think pragmatically.
