Summary/Abstract: In the classroom, the strong hand of the state has given way to the mixed blessings of freedom. A TOL special report. See more special coverage of the anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain at our 20 Years After website: http://20years.tol.org/. [As we look at how life has changed – or stayed the same – over the past 20 years, TOL correspondents in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia asked people in various professions to describe their working life today compared with conditions before 1989. This collection of interviews with history teachers is the second in the series that resulted.]
