Almost all the time was spent on learning Greek and Latin, and there was no science at all in the program. When studying classical works, absolutely no attention was paid to their content. And all attention was focused solely on grammatical forms. In high school, they were forced to translate from Greek into Latin and vice versa — Pavel Tutkovsky
