William shakespeare, the greatest and most famous of english writers, and probably the greatest playwright who has ever lived, was born on the 23d of april, 1564, in stratford-on-avon. in spite of his fame we know very little about his life. at the age of six he was sent to school, but had to leave it at the age of 13. his father, john shakespeare, was a glove-maker, and when he fell into debt, william had to help him in the trade. just what william did between his fourteenth and eighteenth year isn't known. at the age of eighteen, he married anne hathaway. ann was eight years older than her husband and the marriage wasn't a happy one. when shakespeare was twenty-one, he went to london. we don't know why he left stratford-on-avon. there is a story that shakespeare's first job in london was holding rich men's horses at the theatre door. but nobody can be sure that this story is true. later, shakespeare became an actor and a member of a very successful acting company. it's highly probable that the comedy of errors, romeo and juliet and some other plays by shakespeare were performed for the first time on this stage. very soon, however, the actors were told that they could no longer use the land that their theatre was built on and the company had nowhere else to perform. there is a story that in the dead of night the whole acting troop took down their theatre, timber by timber, brick by brick. they carried it across the river and rebuilt it. the new theatre was called the globe. shakespeare's globe was rather different from modern theatres. the plays were performed in the open air and the audience got wet if it rained. there was no scenery, very few props, and the only lighting was the daylight that came from the open roof above. women in those days weren't allowed to act in public and all the parts (even juliet! ) were played by men. much of the audience stood to watch the performance and moved around, talking with each other and throwing fruit at the stage if they didn't like something. shakespeare wrote 37 plays: 10 tragedies (such as hamlet, king lear, othello, macbeth), 17 comedies (such as as you like it, twelfth night, much ado about nothing), 10 historical plays (such as henry iv, richard he also left 7 books of poems. most of shakespeare's plays were not published in his lifetime. so some of them may have been lost in the fire when the globe burnt down in 1613. shakespeare spent the last years of his life at stratford, where he died, ironically, on the same date as his birthday, the 23d of april, 1616. he was buried in the church of stratford. a monument was erected to the memory of the great playwright in the poet's corner in westminster abbey. in 1997, shakespeare's globe was restored. write 4 words into each gap: 1. ann was her husband and the marriage wasn't a happy one. 2. shakespeare's globe modern theatres. 3. a monument memory of the great playwright in the poet's corner in westminster abbey.

The ideal school? This can not be. This is not on the ground. But it could be and should be a school that strives for perfection. Yes, and this desire itself - like a dream.
One of our correspondents in America told me that he met the famous architect, who made an unusual request: to build a perfect Seattle school. He asked, "What are the requirements for such a school?" He replied: "I do not know. But it must be perfect. "
And the architect took the order.
Why do not we adopt the same order? Why our Russian children, although some of them, do not try to by heart what the ideal school?
We have no money on expensive architects and crazy construction, we have half the school has no running water. We are poor.
But the ideal has nothing to do with plumbing, swimming pool, expensive architect and a lot of money. In this and the beauty of our work, this is its peculiarity - it allows idealism. Moreover, it requires idealism!
Academician of Russian Academy of Education Vasily Davydov said:
- I have to meet with teachers and doctors. And you know what the difference between them? Among physicians there are cynics. Among the teachers - ever.
If you ask children what do you see the perfect school, they will likely start writing about swimming pools, spacious classrooms and wide hallways.
But the ideal school is not about that.
It first of all, an ideal relationship, beyond any architects, but it is subordinate to the director, who, perhaps, not such a brilliant education, resulting in a rundown Regional Pedagogical Institute (oh, excuse me - the university), but whose heart is capable of making peace, whose mind is not tuned to the program, and for children and for people whose soul is able to forgive, and whose conscience does not permit to deviate from the ideal.
