transcription:
I was in a class - the first three years I was in a class with thirty or forty students. The rest... the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh - until eighth grade we were classes of about eighty pupils. All in one class. All in one classroom, yes. How was that possible? Yes, I don't know - it worked somehow. First some were given an assignment, then the next were given a different assignment, some did - and then we also had notebooks. In first grade we only had slates to write on. And then we got notebooks and everything... worked out. We didn't get bad grades and... we learned everything. We were eighty pupils, yes. It all worked out. We wrote the nicest essays and learned the most beautiful poems by heart - and we ...we learned to multiply, fractions and to calculate percentages - we learned everything. Yes.
