So, in 2018 I went to take 3D modeling classes in my hometown in Pakistan, and the teacher that was supposed to teach us 3D modeling, had no clear idea of what he was going to teach us.

He knew how to use the software a little bit but he had no clue where to begin and how to teach.

So, I started watching tutorials on YouTube according to the topics in our syllabus and a few weeks later, I was the one teaching other students and the teacher used to just sit in the class and watch me teach.

I know it's hard to believe but that was the case.

For reference, I used to teach Autodesk Maya, Adobe after effects and Adobe illustrator.

I even made an animation video in our final project.

I can't exactly call it an uneducative experience but it was definitely not how it was supposed to be.

That was just one big challenge where you needed to try to remember as much as u can the bunch useless definitions from all spheres of your life.

Ilienkov would not allow this happen. That was one huge unnecessary suffering. There was very little where you needed to actually use your thinking. No room for questioning the given information, that painful experience did not make me wiser or more virtuous person. Till these days I know that the only reason i was a part of that enterprise is just to get to the university.

In my opinion, my experience is related to the text by Ilyenkov. The author thinks that schools must teach students how to think freely and critically; and, I believe, my school taught me it.

1) Regarding the experience, according to Dewey’s concept, I got some positive and negative ones. The negative one was when I was really fond of football at the 6th and the 7th grade. I felt like really exhausted and unable to concentrate on mundane chores and activities. That did hinder me in studying. The positive one was when I was into English linguistics (that was like 1 or 2 years ago). That interest of yore and reality did help me to pass my individual project and to boost my English level.

2) According to Newman’s university idea, my last school and my current university do not live up to concept expectations because the church had already lost its power and influence thus it is not be able to impose theology studying as the main discipline.

3) When it comes to Ilyenkov’s concept of righteous thinking learning at school, the school of mine was not worth even a jot of all the features described in philosopher’s article. The reason is school had never granted us possibility to think properly. That was at the whole schooltime period when just the answers prepared before were given to children. That is attributed to 1st grade, as well as to the ЕГЭ preparation at the 11th one.

According to Ilyenkov, she is a good teacher, because she doesn’t impose her knowledge to our minds but she teaches how to think and what we need to see, but the final decision we did by ourselves

Also, talking about “Experience and education” , she also is a good teacher because she forced us to have our own experience because she just guided our thoughts to the right direction

This experience also reminds me of some thoughts from ‘Our schools must teach us how to think!’ The author of the text says that endless repetition and ‘ cramming ’ of information in ourselves is a wrong method of education. And that’s exactly what we were expected to do in that school. Such method doesn’t let us think independently and pose our own questions. It is also not the best way for developing intelligence and memory.

The same was ЕГЭ preparation in 10-11 classes. We could not be ourselves, for example, in English exam, where we needed to follow a particular шаблон and nothing more. No personal style, no individuality.

After that experience the method of education in SAS was completely new to me. It seems like ‘School of Athens’ in some way. We are welcomed to express our opinion and study through personal experience. I enjoy it but sometimes it can be hard to change familiar habits and stop being attached to a шаблон.

Looking at my school experience through "The very idea of university", I can say that there was no unity of understanding at all. All of the disciplines were disconnected and set apart from each other which didn't give me an opportunity to view on subject from the point of another. Talking about it in terms of Dewey's "Experience and education", school mostly didn't give me a possibility to learn through my experienceass the program was based on given formulas and cliches. Like in a general example of a school in "Our schools must teach how to think" by Ilyenkov, educational system forced me to memorize tons of information that wasn't interesting to me because I didn't get to understand the way this knowledge was articulated.

My Kazakh classes during all 11 years of school were completely miseducative.

Just against the Ilyenkov's theory, our lessons were focused on cramming. What os worse, cramming was useless, as we were learning 20-30 words for each lesson, but never used them due to their complexity and not matching the topics.

Also, it appears that some aspects of my lessons can be described by Dewey's view on traditional education. Our only source of knowledge was textbook and most of the classes can be described just in one phrase: 
"- What were you doing on kazakh today?
- oh, we were quetly sitting and reading a complex text and then translating it"
Unfortunately, other texts don't really connect with my experience, but I have one that corresponds to two mentioned authors.
It was my history course in 11th grade. That year we had new teacher and our programm has dramatically changed. We had a lot of practical work and philosophical speeches, we gained many speaking skills and now I know how to do nice presentations. Moreover, our lessons were mostly made of questions that were asked not only by teacher, but also us.

The most educative experience that I have ever had was during summer studying camp at ТюмГУ. During five days we had lectures on current topics with mentors from university, we were taught different practical techniques that could help us during our further education path and at the end we choose a case and made an individual presentation.

I can relate this experience to the text “Experience and education” I consider that the experience and advice which I got in this camp is still help me not only in education but also at work and in my social life.

The most miseducative experience that I have ever had was during preparation to my final exams in school. This require me to cramming a lot (sometimes i didn’t really understand what I was memorising) and think “in pattern” (some ideas that we had to write wasn’t our actual opinion).

I can relate this example to the text “Our schools must teach us how to think” because the experience I had was absolutely opposite to the idea of the text.
