Звонок: - Мы ищем репетитора по информатике. -...

Call:
 - We are looking for a tutor in computer science.
 - Good afternoon. Tell us more about the student and the situation in general.
 - He is smart with us, he is very fond of programming, but school is the most ordinary secondary. We want to enter the Baumanka through the Olympics.
 - And what is his current level?
 - She is engaged in a correspondence school at the physics and technology department.

Then fears begin to creep in.

 - Fizteh is a very strong university, if it is engaged in a correspondence school, then why not there?
 “Well, you know, because there is more to science and research, everything is directed, but I want something more applied.”

All have arrived. You understand that he fell into the ritual of ritual murder. It cannot be called otherwise. Further, I already knew all the words and arguments of the parents. It was interesting to know about the situation of the poor guy.
 - After all, there is very strong programming and general preparation, he will be able to work anywhere.
 - You know, I have already watched hundreds of hours of video on YouTube and did not understand anything good about this university. They say very different things. And the graduate students who lead us, they are so passionate about their work. It’s not clear what their ordinary life is like.

Of course, damn it, you yourself were never really passionate about anything, how can you know what it is? How can you judge what kind of life these graduate students and students have if you saw some only in the classroom, and others in YouTube? You won’t even think of how cool it is when enthusiastic, competent and smart people teach. Most likely they and in other areas of life are still cheerful. And those who record hours of video on YouTube about their lives are most likely to be disgraceful - normal people don’t have time to watch videos about their ordinary life. They record videos of conferences, concerts, lectures, etc.
But move on.

 - And with Bauman, everything is clear - a normal specialty, and there is free time.
The finish. Tombstone prepared.

 - I watched the olympiad tasks in the Bauman. If he is engaged in programming at the physics department, then there should be no problems with the Bauman. There, tasks are solved easily with a good knowledge of mathematics and a small knowledge of programming. By the way, how is it with mathematics? Goes to the Olympics?
 - He’s not stupid at all, but you know, sometimes he brings for control fours. What kind of olympiads is it ... Let him just study like that.

No, this is no tombstone. This is a huge granite slab and a cross on top. A person is not 15 years old, but everyone has already decided for him. Where, why and how he will study, live and work. Run, save the man. Save not from enemies, but from the closest - parents. Give him the opportunity to decide for himself, to make mistakes himself, demand firmness from him in following the chosen path. But no, it’s much easier to hire an average lousy tutor to train him on the exam and the simplest Olympiad. It is much easier to say "he is like everyone else, let him sit quietly" than to help a person become a Man.
