Balast przeszłości. Wokół uczniowskich sugestii
The ballast of the past. Around student suggestions

Summary/Abstract: The subject of reflection in the article is the reception of classical literature at school. In order to investigate it, the author conducted an anonymous survey in primary and secondary schools in Gdańsk, Wejherowo and Wiślinka. The collected material contradicts the stereotypical belief that young people associate the discourse of the past only with backwardness and limitation. It turns out that they perceive the coexistence of the past with the present and are far from monopolizing their reading with literature embedded solely in the current socio-cultural situation. In this context, the author presents publications that enliven the reading experience and are a counterweight to conventional lesson content, often reducing masterpieces of the past to obvious theses and top-down issues.
