SCHOOL HROCHUV TYNEC IN THE PAST

In the classrooms were more pupils – about 40. They learned Russian instead English now. We learn English from 1989. There were no computers, smart boards, mobiles. Children learned from textbooks mostly. There were so many pupils, that they had to go to school in shifts: some children in the morning, the other in the afternoon.
