[Agor] Agor Digest, Vol 122, Issue 1

Sun Jun 8 18:55:03 CEST 2014

Dragi Marko,

zelo se prizadevam, žal, neuspešno, da bi v osnovnošolski učni načrt za slovenščino -- književnost,od 1. - 9. razreda  bila uvrščena besedila iz antične literature. Če imaš kakšno idejo, mi sporoči, sicer imam te(be) v mislih, če bi sodelovala pri učnem načrtu, vendar je, zaradi šolskega založništva, predmetna komisija za slovenščino, hermetično zaprta in nikomur ne pusti zraven, žal.

Nisem pesimistična, vendar razmišljam bolj daljnoročno.

LP Milena
