Moscow Pedagogical Universities Disown “Wunderkind” Alisa Teplyakova

The other day, MK wrote about a scandal in a kindergarten at school No. 538. Yevgeny Teplyakov broke through there with his daughter Alice, so that the girl could complete an internship at a university psychology course. The scandalous dad was not allowed to test among kids 4-5 years old. And here is the news: the student Teplyakova is not listed either at the Moscow State Pedagogical University or at the Moscow State Pedagogical University, both universities disowned. The question arises – where does the “wunderkind” study or the object of the parental experiment Alice? And is he studying at all?

One thing is clear – the experiment stirs up the public. The famous Teplyakov family became two years ago, when 8-year-old Alice passed the exam for the school course (“closed”, in the words of the Teplyakovs), and then entered the Faculty of Psychology of Moscow State University. Not on the budget, but for a fee, because the points were not so hot.

Nevertheless, the story of Alice and her relatives impressed many. The “doers of geniuses” Teplyakovs became regulars on various talk shows, inveterate interviewees. More precisely, the stellar reflection was broadcast by Pope Eugene. But transient glory quickly turned sideways. The methods and style of teaching “according to the Chinese system” were criticized, the living conditions were checked by the guardianship authorities (they did not find anything reprehensible). The betrayal of fortune was facilitated by the expressiveness of the head of the family himself, who reacted caustically to any attempts to discuss. And also the fact that Alice could not finish the 1st year of Moscow State University, although dad even rushed at the teachers with his fists.

Where Alice will go now is the number one topic by the beginning of the school year in social networks, the subject of battles on the forums of both supporters and adversaries of the Teplyakovs. MADI, Synegeria University, then again Moscow State University, allegedly. And even a university in Belarus… But even with the active marketing of the superfamily, which threw in information about the “closure” of the Unified State Examination by Heimdall (as well as 7-year-old Leila “in test mode”), the discussion came to naught. Lots of other news…

In early February of this year, the director of the kindergarten asks parents if they want a 10-year-old 2nd-year student of the Moscow State Pedagogical University (as in his unofficial survey) to test among 4-5-year-old children. Parents are strongly opposed. When (thanks to “MK”) information emerges, the Teplyakovs deny it, not embarrassed in expressions. Here are passages familiar to them about journalistic lies and dishonesty, and regular hints below the belt. “Undoubtedly, the journalist’s sexual fantasies about the ‘snooty tenors’ may remain on her conscience, but we would like to hear the official position of the Moscow Department of Education, the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and the director of school No. 538.” Further, the light pen of the Teplyakovs, distorting and capitalizing the name of the correspondent, writes: “spreads the wildest nonsense, including attempts to create a negative image of the family.” And the management of school No. 538 condones this, they say. And the offended family therefore asks the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, as well as the leadership of the school, “to stop rumors and gossip, to prevent” public harassment “and obscurantism.”

Preventing obscurantism and deceit is our job. We inform you that MK has received an official response from the Department of Education and Science of Moscow. It is on the newspaper’s website, so here is a partial quote: ““At the end of January, the school was asked to have a second-year student of the Moscow Pedagogical State University undergo an internship … All parents refused to participate in this testing of their children. Accordingly, the school administration refused the student to conduct the study.”

And now the most piquant thing in the whole story: Alisa Teplyakova is not studying at Moscow State Pedagogical University. As in the university with a similar abbreviation, MGPU, too. The first thing we called the Moscow State Pedagogical University was when preparing the material. “Our universities are often confused,” said the press service of the Moscow City Pedagogical University. “Alice is studying at Moscow State Pedagogical University, call there.”

Then came an official response to our request from the Moscow State Pedagogical University (MPGU). “You applied to MPGU. And you need MGPU. This is a different university,” writes Nadezhda Bogdanova, adviser to the administration, head of the protocol events department. The answer is evasive, and the administration can be understood after the story with Moscow State University. Foma nods at Yerema, Yerema blames Foma, in the case of the Teplyakovs…

It is interesting that on the website of the Moscow State Pedagogical University there is a very complimentary interview with Yevgeny Teplyakov a year ago, signed by the director of the directorate of creative programs of the university Anastasia Mazhur. Probably, such a project was considered in the pedagogical university before. But they weighed it, measured it and found it worthless.

Studying the latest Teplyakov posts from social networks is also alarming. “We remember how lonely cutletoids and other femcomombite are plucked, we remember the stories from the Vitebsk hut and the crying of the bread cutter,” this is how the post begins, written as a reaction to the scandal with the failed testing in the kindergarten. Then some kind of logopsychologists, “teachers” and “little school psychologists” are stigmatized. The semantic thread is lost, emotions and biting epithets go off scale: “the antics of the psychology department”, “little kings” and “little power” … “Kindergarten. Boil further in your gastric juice, ”the Teplyakovs finish their angry rebuke.

“It is difficult to give an assessment in absentia,” says child and family psychologist, neuropsychologist Svetlana Barinova. – Although, of course, many, including myself, have developed an image thanks to the public performances of the Teplyakovs. In particular, the fathers of children, Evgenia. Unmotivated aggression, a high level of irritability, anger can be the result of a number of reasons. From the personality characteristics of the subject or flaws in parenting, to the debut of the disease. It’s hard to judge in absentia. If girls lie about studying at a teacher training university, and even under the emblem of this university they try to undergo some kind of practice … A range of reasons is also possible: from character and a sense of permissiveness (the words about the “little king” and power look like a projection) – to the loss of criticism to their actions for other reasons. Possibly medical. In general, it is impossible to diagnose anyone without a patient, therefore, about the situation itself.

From the point of view of neuropsychology, such early training is illegal. The formation of the higher functional block III of the brain (FBM) in humans is completed by the age of 16–18. This is the level of forecasting, determination of cause and effect, awareness of responsibility, etc. Only after this a person is able to acquire knowledge at the level of higher education. No matter what area she was trained in, and among the discussions of this experiment, there were opinions like “which of her is a psychologist, she has no experience” … It’s not a lack of experience or some other prerequisites, but that the brain is banal not yet ripe for university. Moreover, even the II FBM has not matured: generalizations, audioverbal analysis… Simply put, the final formation of the function of speech in a person occurs only at the age of 12. For Alice, this stage has not yet come, for younger children even more so. By the way, it is accompanied by such a “reboot” by analogy with a computer. Redistribution of information between departments and lobes of the brain. In the course of which, knowledge memorized from textbooks with dad may be lost.
