The attitude towards Anton Semenovich Makarenko (1888–1939), his ideas and activities at different times in Russian history was ambiguous. Let’s now try to take an unbiased look at an essentially unfamiliar and very interesting teacher, and draw on his ideas that are still relevant now (maybe more relevant than in the time of Makarenko himself). Makarenko’s pedagogy is maximally focused on education. Many pages of the book are devoted to the various components of upbringing (not education!), its factors, conditions, and criteria of upbringing. Makarenko’s works on family education will make you want to think about your attitude towards children, towards yourself as parents, will reveal the origins of parental authority, will help you better understand the reasons why some achieve success and happiness, while others achieve failure and disappointment. Designed for parents and educators, students and teachers .
