My dad just got a job in the Ukraine and I want to know if it is true...?

Question

That the teachers in the schools there are allowed to pour ice water over the children outside and give them cold showers after PE?

Answer 1

It is not true. Of all the "natural resources" in Ukraine, children are by far the most important and most protected.

This "rumor" is actually based on the teachings of the religious cult of Porfiry Ivanov, in Russia (1898-1983). He taught that to have eternal life a person must learn to live with no clothes, food, or dring. He taught "health related principles" such as never sitting, walking barefoot in the snow each day, and puring ice water over themselves daily.

After his death, some of his followers introduced the ideas into schools and orphanages run by his followers. And before doing this, the children were required to raise their hands and pray to Ivanov "Teacher, give me strength, give me energy!".

That said... I know for a fact that the government schools do not make children stand in class all day, they do not make them walk to school in winter with no shoes, and they do not pour ice water over the children.

Ukraine is not a 3rd world country. Do not get your news off the internet.

Answer 2

I know for a fact that this is true. I saw a picture on the computer where the teacher was pouring ice water over a childs head outside in the snow. Other children were waiting for their turn and all they had on were swimsuits.

Answer 3

you are correct.

ukraine is also the best known arms dealing spot in the world.

the place is called kharkov...been there many times....you will need to have protection or what the russians call "creesha".

Spend some time there and find out what a lying group the global media is ...especially about the weapons of mass distraction or what ever....that is where the deal was made to pull them out of iraq...and move them to syria....

Answer 4
