Life / When in Poland, should I be British or Scottish? [104]

Unless you wear a kilt, mangy long hair, wield a claymore and scream "FREEDOOOOM"

............interesting point of view, but not one that most Poles subscribe too. Most went to school, I guess your parents kept you locked in a cupboard until you were old enough to make a few zloty in coffe heaven!

Love / What are the chicks like in Poland ? [69]

JustysiaS:

Polish girls are usually quite skinny but they tend to have average looks and bad dress sense, bad hair and too much tan on them...

Skinny yes, but bad dress sense ........are you kidding me? not in my experience. and fake tan - have you ever been to glagsow? - fake tan capital of the world!

Life / Poles' tolerance towards other Races [190]

How it came that as we all started out the same it was the white race which conquered most of the world? Nothing more....

.............oh, that explains it, silly me!

You truly are a beacon of light in our dark labyrinth of tolerance. ...........now **** off and go to bed little boy.

You disagree?

Was that aimed at me? Bboy?...............perhaps if you answered the question, I'd be more inclined to waste my time replying.

Waiting with baited breath!

But it's the whites which did most for the development of the world in the history of mankind...did you ever asked yourself WHY???

Maybe I had better things to do......perhaps you could enlighten us? (but I seriously doubt it)

Life / The strangest things in Poland [468]

I think you'll find that most that post here aren't complaining...........just pointing out the differences that actually make Poland an interesting place to visit/stay. There are many strange things here in Scotland...........doesn't mean it's not a great place. (Ahh, noimmi excepted)!

Happy to discuss further...............but my guess is you're just a troll ;)

News / Where to find a physical feature map of Poland? [8]

Google is your friend

Here's one of many:

freeworldmaps.net/europe/poland/map.html

Try flickr for the costumes, though it's a big country and costumes vary from region to region. Could you imagine a Cockney in a Kilt for example!

Life / Children's clothing in Poland? [14]

Try this - reserved.pl/pl

Basically a Polish 'Primark'. But good basic wardrobe stuff.
Even if you have the money, spending a fortune on kids clothes is just stupid. Just my 2zl worth

UK, Ireland / Glasgow primary schools for the Polish community? [18]

I agree with that. How good is her daughters English? Any way I think that because of her age she would be fine. I think out of school you'd need to make sure she maybe joined a club or something, to keep her active with kids of the same age but szkotja2007 is right, kids adapt easier. 8 is a good age but if you leave it until she is 10,11,12 you will have problems then. Good luck :)

Thx PD

Put it this way, her English is much better than my Polish. It's on the curriculum in her school in Warsaw and she also goes to private English classes twice a week so the language shouldn't be a problem.

As for the after school activities, both her mother and I organise such activities and would encourage her to go to others,...........I just hopes she chooses snowboarding at Bellahouston rather than ballet classes!

Maybe I'm worrying about nothing, but I appreciate everyone's comments.

PD.........can you leave that previous disgusting post up so that others can see how infantile the author is. Ironic that he should post on a thread about education when he clearly has none himself.

Thx all,
G.

UK, Ireland / Glasgow primary schools for the Polish community? [18]

This may help.
On Saturday I was talking to a 17yr old who had spent two days at a school in Edinburgh a few years ago.
Her thoughts were:
Bigger classrooms, teachers were different, smaller class size, different subjects, swimming pool, grass [decent sports grounds], cookery classes.

I got the idea that the differences made it interesting for her. But it was only a five minute chat so I can't add any more.

Thanks Wroclaw,

Its true that the facilities are generally better over here, but in all the schools I've been in there just seems to be a more 'pleasant' atmosphere in the ones in Warsaw. I can't put my finger on why, but I do now that being surrounded by all the latest technology and bigger classrooms doesn't necessarily equate to a better education.

My experience is limited however, so maybe I've just been lucky with the schools I have worked in over there.

Boy, have I got some serious thinking to do!

True szkotja, but it's a big step and not a decision I want to take lightly

I'm not a school teacher, but I have worked with pupils in Scotland and Poland, and from what I've experienced, I guess if I had a choice, I would rather bring up a child in Warsaw than in Glasgow.

Don't get me wrong, I love this city - it's been very good to me, but I have someone else to think about now.

It's a long storey szkotja.
My partner is Polish with an 8 year old daughter, and she is considering moving here, but as much as I would love them to be with me 24/7 I have a worry that her daughter would find it difficult. The best thing I think would be for me to relocate over there, but career wise it would be difficult.

I'm hoping that someone will tell me they came over here and there kids started school and loved it, but the words 'straws' and 'clutching' spring to mind.

Wondering if any of the Polish community in Glasgow have children in a Glasgow Primary School? If so how does the education system over here compare with that in Poland?

Life / The strangest things in Poland [468]

.........just back from Warsaw. While I was there waiting for a tram I read the 'transport regulations' posted in English on a bus stop.

Apparently you get free travel on public transport if:

a) you have an uprising medal, and get this..........
b) if you were born on public transport!

Brilliant!
