Saga of high technology in Russian State Education

    Recently, my mother called me (she is a teacher in a regular secondary school) and started crying with a cry that she again could not fill out a report on the algebra control for 8th grade. Upon arrival, what I saw on her computer shocked me so much that I could not resist writing an evil post about our education.

    Further many screenshots and quotes.

    All this is called " StatGrad educational statistics processing system ." More details can be read in black on lilac on the official website .

    In short, to send data about the test, the teacher must do the following:
    1. Go to the site and enter the username and password (which is constantly changing)
    2. Download the .xls file to your computer (for some reason, it is saved in the poppy with the double extension .xls.xla)
    3. Score all students and grades for k / r (grading system - a separate topic)
    4. Enter in the special field the additional “login in the StatGrad system”
    5. Export data in .csv format
    6. Go to another page of StatGrad. Enter login / password again and send .csv file


    Now for a little more details ...

    City Algebra Examination for Grade 8
    September 25, 2008


    Actual information


    Control reports are accepted from 8-00 on Friday September 26 to 22-00 on Monday September 29.

    Report forms on the control work on algebra for 8th grade:
    MS Excel file 600 Kb (For students using the textbook of Yu.N. Makarychev or AG Mordkovich's textbook.)
    MS Excel file 600 Kb (For students using the textbook Sh.A . Alimova.)

    September 15, 2008 changed passwords for access to the StatGrad system.
    As new access passwords, you should use the "backup" password from the package received by the educational institution in February 2008 (or later individually).


    Instruction (clickable, readable)
    Dear colleagues! If you have urgent questions about the test on September 25th, formulate them and write a letter to statgrad@mioo.ru (the address is real, you can write something to them, or let robots write something to them)
    Be sure to specify a username and attach the file, in question, indicate the time of sending and confirmation code.


    Entering students


    The student list is entered manually each time. The authors also propose “copy the prepared list into groups of cells”


    Export


    CSV - much easier ... No, there are, it turns out, very tricky CSVs! Please note - “CSV for macintosh” does not fit (mom has a macbook)


    Caution!


    The system is fragile and can break. A warning in red, literally, on every line ...


    Etc...

    Teacher reviews


    By typing StatGrad in the search engine on the first lines of the hit parade, you can find great reviews about the system. For instance:
    Just a disgrace, dear fellow leaders of the urban education system. The system of statistical cities today, October 22, 2007 simply showed its inoperability. Why all of Moscow turned out to be tied to a project that is not capable of serving itself

    Administration: Generate passwords on the school page. Logins for 11 classes should be of this type: 1505.09.001

    does not help
    in mozilla firefox - empty
    in exploer - hanging dialog box


    Administration: What exactly do you do when a hanging window appears? Can I go to the school page? Are passwords generated? Logins of the form 1505.1 were used last year. Now access to the system by these logins is closed. Download on the school page logins for the current 11th grade of the form 1505.09.001

    we have generated passwords again
    now they are of the form 1505.11.001 (4087999) the
    school page on the mioo website
    works only the password for the children’s password to the district server does not work
    the hanging dialog box can only be closed - then the view is the same as in Mazil - an empty window with exit buttons. user changes and help
    and no other information



    There is a guest book (they managed to write a guest book!) With a lot of questions and flattering reviews

    In short, I don’t even know how to complete this topic. To conclude this: take good care of teachers, show more patience and understanding. They need it. Their work is really hard work for a few pennies ...

    PS I do not urge to immediately rush to break the site of StatGrad, whose protection is completely absent. I think it's better to sit back and watch as poor teachers are driven to despair.

    Ministry of Education! Remember, for those who are now in school, the future of our country. Make teachers a normal system!
