If the school - part of society, then, to paraphrase a famous saying of Karl Marx, it is the totality of social relations. We know that many schools are moving to self-financing, and it just brings the compliance of school (intraschool) relations to the relations of society. Democracy, transparency and self-originated, of course, in the school. And the issue of attracting students to the director election process is not "a game of democracy", according to L. Cosic (see Education School, 1988, № 4), and consistent implementation of our lives very old principle - "the power of the people." A statement Belorybkin L. (see School Education, 1989, N2 1) that during the holidays, "students can choose their leader for games and some fun" to democratic principles has only the ratio, which is just the opposite of them. Where and who ever saw the children playing in the activities organized under the leadership of and that the children receive from their fun fun in the presence of the head?

Reducing the number of senior positions as a trend in organic single economic, political and educational life of the country can manifest itself in the governance of the school. And the director will need to either replace or undo, citing the incompatibility of branching fuktsii director of educational opportunities and limitations of man, appointed to this position. Directors also no high schools do not prepare, they have become. Do not cook methodically and pragmatically skilled managers - let's call them managers - the school? And that in fact it turns out that people with pedagogical knowledge to solve everyday financial, legal and other issues and he really is doing so far. But it repeated the workload!

Boldly shaped the problem of democracy in the leadership of a school teacher L. Belorybkin (see School Education, 1989, № 1). His weighty right offer modern than ever, because we learn more and to learn democracy for a long time. But if the abolition of the director's chair will lead to several types of alternatives to the Board of Management School, then to misunderstand the restructuring of the school. The level of competence and powers of the student groups is not sufficient to serve as director. Revoking it and legitimize Council, we will create a working model of a more democratic body, less subjective and inequality tional in social activities. But, mindful of the economic - the production side of the school is more important not to forget about her spiritual side, the moral, which, as mentioned Ushinskii, increases mental and moral capital of the people, is the capital that brings even the most cash and without interest which all the other capitals are dead.

In conclusion, I note that the only democratic elections to consider the school principal by the students - this is not Soviet democracy in its authenticity. What criteria should guide the choice - that's what should be studying. In this exciting all right now (and not just now) principled position, and seen real democracy - to learn together, all the people from all nations.
