While reading material about the upcoming debates on the topic of the “modernization” of higher education in Bulgaria, I came across a text that can clearly illustrate the essence of the problem[1]. At the end of the cited article, there are several questions asked that I would like to pay attention to, adding a few small corrections (on my behalf in italics …

The effects of the disastrous monetary and housing policies pursued by the American government in the early years of the new century became visible around 2008 with the so-called beginning of the financial (later economic) crisis. In law, the economic distortions had long been present, and what we observed after the bursting of the bubble was actually the experience …

This text is inspired by the journalistic coverage of the successes achieved by a homeschooled boy from Smolensk.
