Besides these festivities, connected to school and its events, one also organized festivities for the ? beloved leader?, ? ?Forum? which was part of the program ? Homage?, ? The Song of Romania?. These activities weren?t solely attended by school pupils, but also by workers, clerks, soldiers, teachers and students. The rehearsals were countless, from morning till evening, in the parks and stadiums. A perfect balance had to be reached between the participants? movements.  One made the tricolor from the bodies of the children dressed in red, yellow and blue t-shirts; slogans were written by bodies: ?Long live the Party, comrade Ceausescu, Peace? etc. (11)

In the 80 the festivities from the first grade, the Celebration of the Winter Tree and the ABC celebration had become opportunities for dissidence. During the winter holidays, the festivity would be held nearer Christmas, and not around the New Year?s Eve. One did not talk about Gerila (Frosty), but sang about Santa Claus and O, Tannebaum, including the lyrics? I would like to be like you/ Tall, beautiful and faithful/and well doer?. One sang also ? Happy New Year, the original text ? May the Lord give you what you wish ?after decades of singing ? May life give you what you wish?. I remember that at the festivity of ABC, they sang a song ? One is the moon, two is a pair, five fingers at one hand, seven days a week, nine march the martyrs? day. My children went to a school at 0 perimeter, also attended by the children of the Nomenclature. And yet, strangely, I remember that we, the parents, cast secret looks at each other, eyes moist with emotion and satisfaction. Did we all consider each of the uttered words and phrases against the censorship, as a personal victory? (125)

SCIENTIFIC SOCIALISM

As early as in the Manifest of the Communist Party, in 1848, the family was denied its usefulness; the manifest argued for a total change of the educational system. Lenin?s famous saying ? Learn, learn and let learn!? determined his successors to focus their attention on education, and especially on the tempting perspective of shaping a ? new man? through education.
