For 25 years, the local ice cream store in Pszczyna rewarded children who achieved very good results in discipline as part of the "Ice for a Red Belt" action. Students with a certificate of honour could receive free ice cream. No 1 has been forced to participate, no 1 has suffered any harm, and the initiative has become a sympathetic tradition that motivates young people to work and work systematically. Everything until the case It's interesting. neobolshevik Ombudsman for kid Rights (RPD).
Even Nowacka couldn't withstand the absurd scale. In a letter sent to the ice cream shop, the RPD officials were to indicate that the award of only the best students "may lead to exclusion" for those who did not accomplish akin results. After a 4th of a century, the action was over. It is hard to give a better example of how bureaucratic ideology can destruct something of value just due to the fact that it does not fit the imagination of the planet of officials.
The fact about how the officials were curiosity shows that even the utmost left-wing minister of education Barbara Nowacka referred to her critically. Active publicly standing on the side of common sense, writing briefly: “Pity...”. Nowacka stressed that industriousness, ambition and talent is worth noticing and rewarding due to the fact that it besides motivates another students to exert themselves.
Even if she considers the action of the office excessive, it shows the scale of the problem. We have reached the point where the obsession with "equality of results" begins to displace the rule of reward for achievements. In practice, this means promoting a russian lavish town, where it is increasingly crucial that no 1 feels worse than to appreciate those who have put on more work. In this way, we strive to make a society of any kind, in which the wings of ambitious people are cut, with good results.
Meanwhile, the full society functions precisely on the rule of distinguishing achievements. The best athletes get medals. The best students receive scholarships. Best employees advance and gain more. No reasonable individual claims that the award to the Olympians discriminates against those who have taken further seats. Why, then, would a akin logic apply to children who worked hard for a certificate with a red belt?
The mechanics of state action itself is even more worrying. alternatively of dealing with real children's problems – violence, digital addictions, intellectual wellness crisis or online safety – officials find time to track down a local ice cream store giving free ice cream knobs to the best students. It is hard not to get the impression that officials are increasingly struggling with problems that they invent themselves. Clearly, they have nothing sensible to do, and so they should be fired and their institutions should be seriously slimmed out.
The past of Pszczyna shows what the utmost ideology of equality leads to. alternatively of encouraging children to make and exert themselves, they effort to destruct all forms of distinguishing achievements. As a result, not those who do not want to try, but those who want to reward industriousness. If free ice cream for very good results in discipline becomes a problem requiring the intervention of the office, it is simply a sign that part of the state administration has simply lost contact with reality.
OUR COMMENTS: The substance ended in a cheerful burgundy anyway, for if the IRS entered the action, he would impose a punishment on the ice cream shop, as he did in his time with a baker who gave bread to the needy for free.
