1. Each Friday morning all the pupils of the school spent the lesson which immediately preceded the recess in writing an account of the events of their school week including comments and criticism. 2.... he would tolerate no attempts on the part of the teachers to influence the content of the pupils' weekly reviews. 3. Everyone and everything was open to criticism/could be questioned and criticized. 4. It does good to both pupils and teacher. 5. It would make no sense to be angry with them for drawing attention to such things/There would be no point in getting angry with them for calling attention to such things. 6.... the wise teacher will see the direction in which the interests of each pupil and the class as a whole are changing. 7.1 wanted very much to discover what they thought of me/how they looked on me (I was eager to find out how they viewed me). 8.... they probably thought that I would soon quit and leave them just as the many teachers who had taught them before. 9. Only my own efforts could eventually make them respect and obey me/Only through my own efforts could I find a way to reach them. 10.... I was not up to the mark/I had not managed to reach the necessary standard. 11.... an effort to give the children something that would arouse their interest and stimulate their minds. 12.... as attentively as a birdwatcher watches a rare bird. 13.... illustrations from the familiar things of their daily life. 14.... it was as though there was a secret agreemant to show no interest in what I taught them (to be bored by whatever I told them), and all my attempts to treat them without ceremony of formality failed pathetically. 15.... I bore it trying to look as self-confident as possible. 16.... it was a sign that they were about/ready to go over to the third stage of their conduct. 17.... everything they said or did showed that they were wicked.
