I agree, Maxim, here in Zhlobin it really is like home - Father Dionisy in the 8th gymnasium not only spoke, but hit the nail on the head about how to apply knowledge in life. Our young electricians after college also often say that they didn’t talk much about this at school. And in Moscow, tell us exactly how they try, it’s interesting to compare.
