Teaching staff at the Red Army Elementary School

Teaching staff at the Red Army Elementary School

This is a photo from my workplace after moving to Bratislava. I worked at this elementary school until retirement. This photo of the teaching staff is from the 1960s.

In 1951 I began working at the Red Army elementary school as a math teacher. It was an eight-year elementary school, and I then taught there until retirement. Right the first year I was teaching children math, I began to prepare them for the math Olympics. I prepared them so well, that they placed very well, as excellent solvers of math problems. As soon as that happened, I got a good name in the school. I always knew how to deal with children, and they didn't give me any problems. They respected me and I got along with them excellently.
