My secondary school days was so challenging yeah.
I experienced hard times and it makes me stronger. It can be improved by me going back to school and learning for a better future.
not so much care about the students' involvement
While my studing at the Bachelor degree our institute was taken over by Yuri Gagarin State Technical University of Saratov (I started my education at Plekhanov Russian University of Economics) and I got Bachelor degree in Saratov University instread of Moscow one. Sometimes the process of education was formal, without any interest from lecturers. Some lecturers didn't want to gie us some additional knowledges, try to interest of us or explain some difficult material. I believe lecturers shold be interested in their field and be aimed to catch the interest of students
