@nyoom@Arcana@lizzie@kaia@tiskaan@meso Economic externalities entirely unrelated to the way the schools operated, it's extremely telling that once (and to some extent even before) the iron curtain fell that eastern euros were represented in professional fields in the west massively in disproportion to their real numbers, and the quality of their education systems (both formal and informal) went a long way to explaining why.
@allison@Arcana@nyoom@lizzie@kaia@tiskaan@Moon@meso Very happy to see this posted. The soviets were cooking fr. I oppose all Western public schools but I have great respect for the pedagogical tradition of eastern europe
