If I have to be sincere, throughout my school days was not but a constant and exhausting boredom increased year on year due to my impatience to rid me of that routine nuisance. I do not remember having meaning cheerful and happy at any time during my school years. monotonous, ruthless and tasteless – us embittered thoroughly the time free and beautiful life was a listless and bland, learning directed not towards life but learning itself, things which imposed us the old pedagogy.
