I am currently working on a project which involves a comparison of U.S. and Russian secondary schools. I would really appreciate any feedback from any interested Russians on what they perceive to have been the strengths and weaknesses of their secondary school education (no limit on when or where they attended school). I am especially interested in what they felt about how history was and is taught at the secondary level. Also, who are their 'historical heros' and 'anti-heros' in Russian history. I would really appreciate any observations that would be sent to my e-mail address: kluedke@nconnect.net or via any conversation in this chat room.Thank you!

I have done volunteer teaching in Russian secondary schools. The schools were excellent, the experience was excellent, and I loved the time there.Jerry Stauffer
