What can humanitarian classes give a present-day schoolchild?

Government demands on teaching literature and history have not been precisely formulated as yet. Possibly, it is not too late to tell now about the fruit of school humanitarian education that teachers organize according to their own ideas of how to do it. Evaluating that experience are men and women who attended the humanitarian class of Moscow Comprehensive School No. 57 in different years.
