Martín (25)
He tells to have been a good student until the sixth course of Primary. One of his hobbies was reading. He did not continuo studying because of the lack of motivation at home and at school. The lessons were monotonous and boring. If they did not know the lesson they were punished to kneel down or to stand up but teachers did not do the try to understand why he have not studied.
He did neither finish Secondary because the school did not get involved in pupils.

Yonatan (15)
He can remember the reader which he learnt to read with and the teacher who helped him. Some methodology to learn were a telephone to learn the numbers, posters saying “right” and “left” which nowadays help him to orientate. Primary was boring to him, lessons and too many homework.
He had a sixty-year old teacher who pulled some pupils´ ears if the talked too much, however he taught them mathematics in a fast way.
The first course of Secondary was a disaster. He recognizes it is his fault in the negative results. He changed school and he is improving with teacher motivation and their confidence.
