Ivan Okhlobystin, actor, daughter Varvara and son Vasily:

- This year my daughter Varya is finishing 11th grade,son Vasya is the 9th. Varya is going to enter academic medicine. She also sings well, but she sees it as a personal hobby. And Vasya and I recently had this conversation. I asked: "What do you want to become? Now is exam time, and you have to choose." To which my son replied: "Well, at my age... I don't know." I was surprised: "At what age? In the eighth grade, I already knew that I wanted to become a director, and I realized my intentions - I entered VGIK. I didn't see a problem." But my son is making up his mind: he is drawn to literature, he wants to write - I don't know whether it will be journalism or fiction. But the choice of the future depends on the child himself, his inclinations, abilities and talents. It is not very right to pressure. We must remember what we were like. The relationship between children and parents is a healthy mix. The most important thing is for the child to know: no matter what happens, no matter what pressure the parents exert, they respect his essential self.A photo: Nikolay Gastello I really hope that someday the situation in education will change. EGE, in my opinion, a test for memory, not the level of academic education. It's like a crossword puzzle. And after graduation, children begin to study subjects again if they want to do something. When there is a financial opportunity, we resort to the help of tutors, and the children themselves are determined with the choice of subjects. By the way, Varya was the first to open this practice. She's a smart girl, she found a teacher on the Internet, phoned. And then the other children joined in. In preparation for the graduation, I'm immersed in terms of funding, because so far the only breadwinner in the family. With pleasure I would take part in choosing a dress, I would dress my daughter as a doll princess. But no! She has her own tastes. In this respect, my daughters do not trust me. They say: "Dad, you dress with your eyes closed!"

Sergei Mazaev, soloist of the group "The Moral Code", daughter Anna:

- Anya is graduating from special school No. 1239.She is going to enter the faculty of journalism and public relations. She is still choosing where to apply. MSU and MGIMO are a priority. She studied steadily, she is a good student, a literate girl, a humanities student. Her English is great, it seems that Anya knows it even better than Russian. She was the winner of the English Olympiad. She watches foreign films only in the original. She also studied music, which is very useful for development, even if you never become a musician.Photo: Andrey Kalmykov/Woman.ruAnya is a calm child, she has never caused us any special trouble, she behaves decently, does not hide anything, we have a fairly trusting relationship. I went to a parent-teacher meeting at school only once. I think I have nothing to do there. And the current era of excessive consumption irritates me, I know how people really live in Russia. Our mother tolerates all these conversations about money collections easier. Now our daughter is preparing for the Unified State Exam, and for graduation, of course. I suggested that the guys celebrate it in the city garden, in nature, my friends do this, but they preferred another place. But our group will definitely perform at my daughter's graduation.

Andrey Makarevich, musician, daughter Anna:

- Anya is going to apply to the Chemistry Department of Moscow State University.She became interested in chemistry about a year and a half ago. At first she thought about medical school, to be closer to people, but then she changed her mind. It was unexpected for me, but I didn’t try to convince her otherwise. Why? It was her choice.Photo: Sergey DzhevakhashviliPhoto:Anna Rozhdestvenskaya's FacebookNow Anya is preparing for the Unified State Exam, studying both independently and with tutors, she is nervous, of course. What will happen in the end, time will tell. And the fact that she did not follow in my footsteps, well. The main thing is that she graduated from music school, although now she plays only for herself.

Igor Vernik, actor, son of Gregory:

Photo: Evgeny Smirnov / Woman.ru- Grisha, a graduate of school No. 1239, chose between two specialties - a journalist and an actor. Finally, I decided on my priorities. Will enter the theater institute at the acting department. There were thoughts about the production, but so far the desire to become an actor outweighed. Grisha will audition for all Moscow theaters. And later he decides, if the chances allow, where to go to the main exam. Of course, we talk a lot about this at home, but I do not press him. I want to make my own choice. This is his step, not mine, into a new life. And he already goes to theaters a lot, including student performances, then we discuss with him later. I'm already interested in his opinion.

Olga Kartunkova, actress, daughter Victoria:

- Vika was going to enter last yearKrasnodar Institute for acting, but they didn’t recruit this group in the end. I suggested that she take a year to think about it, to think about whether she really made the right choice, to go to acting classes and a literature club. Victoria generally likes performing on stage, she assures me: this is what she is really interested in. I hope that this year she will succeed. She has already passed the Unified State Exam, got high scores. When entering, you need 280 in total, and also an interview. To have more chances, my daughter is going from Pyatigorsk on a targeted admission. Because there is a very high competition at this institute - seven people for one place, we have at least somehow insured ourselves.Photo: TNTPhoto:Personal archive of Olga KartunkovaI suggested that Victoria go to Moscow to enroll, and she told me: "Mom, let's not take the summit right away, I want to look around, get used to it. What if it's not my thing, why climb Everest right away? Let's walk along Elbrus." I attended courses all year, read a lot, prepared sketches. We have a lot of our own talents in Pyatigorsk, who at one time helped us prepare performances for KVN. She also consulted with me, more often, however, by phone: I am constantly on the road. She asked, for example: "Mom, how do you show a tea bag?" I answered: "Imagine yourself to them, turn on your imagination, as if you were dipped in boiling water, chatted, and then placed next to a spoon or thrown out." So she will go to the institute with some baggage.

Stefania Malikova, the daughter of the singer Dmitry Malikov

- I am in a state of slight sadness.When I used to look at graduates, I dreamed of a beautiful dress, a hairstyle, imagined how everyone was dancing at the ball, smiling, having fun... But when it's about to happen to me, and on May 25th we already have graduation, it becomes sad. School is such a wonderful time. I especially remember its first years for some special warmth, sincerity. We had a great team, we were always friends, went somewhere. We were lucky with our teachers - both with the elementary school teacher and with the wonderful class teacher, our class mother, who taught us from the 4th to the 11th grade. It seems to me that a student's attitude to study largely depends on the teacher.A photo: Igor ZotovMy teacher of chemistry so fascinated me with my subject that for a while I dreamed of going to medical. But when I realized that for the sake of this it is necessary to leave my native school in profile, so I changed my mind. Later the choice fell on journalism. After all, to convey your point of view, to talk about your vision of the world is so interesting. But this is not an easy profession. On the USE will take Russian, literature, math. I can not say that I'm scared, I think, much depends on preparation. You just need to pull yourself together and remember all the material that passed, and give out to the maximum. But I do not need to worry about the dress, I took care of this important part of the prom in advance.
