Hurry To Do Good!
Mikhail Kononenko, physics teacher,
known as a Diver
The Rustle of Independent Work
Sixth grade.
Physics.
No talking.
Only the focused rustle of pages and the scratch of pens across paper.
Everyone is deep in solving problems.
Everyone knows: they can use anything —
but they must not speak.
Near the board, standing in the shadow — the Teacher.
He is not controlling. He is present.
His outline shimmers faintly, like a field,
where thinking, trying, and making mistakes is allowed.
This work is about the silence where real answers are born.
Alt-text:
A school classroom during independent work. Desks are cluttered with books, notebooks, drafts, and school supplies. Students are barely visible — just backs and hands. Near the chalkboard, the teacher stands in shadow, faintly outlined with soft curls. On the board glows the neon phrase “The Rustle of Independent Work”.
