The author was talking about how children "donosyat" and complain about school and complain if their parents discipline them. Therefore, I'm pretty sure "donoschivost'" means "whininess" (as in the tendency to whine) -- which in English is also a slang and semi-madeup word, but all the same understandable to pretty much everyone.
