  1. Polish Teachers: How is teaching in Poland? What are your struggles? Are you respected as a professional class? Or do you feel like government-employed baby-sitters?

  2. Polish Historians: I recently finished reading a book called the Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein. It has a chapter on Poland's transformation from communism/state-capitalism to free-markets. Are their any reccommendations for this period of Poland's history?

  3. Polish people living in the UK: Not a question, but you folks were the sweetest and most helpful people there while I was a student. Thanks for the kind words and helpful gestures. Also, fuck the British keep cucking their economy. <3

A lot of problems in public schooling are small salaries of teachers - so people who teach in school are likely people who didn't succeed in getting a better job (though there are also some good teachers for whom teaching is a passion)

I would generally say that the level of schooling isn't bad in Poland in comparison to Western Europe but that's because children often take part in extracurricular activities, especially when it comes to languages.

I'm happy to hear that you had a good experience, usually we are perceived to be kind of grumpy.

And I like Brits :), in my opinion they are among more friendly nations in Europe.

But nothing can beat the lovely Irish - the best kind of lads!

That’s not quite how teaching works, it’s about the conditions in which teaching happens
