USA, Canada / Standards of Education in US vs Poland [22]

but now I`m a porn star..lol

You'd be surprised how many women in the adult entertainment industry are educated. I know of one particular woman who is actually an M.D. and has her own adult website. She is successful at both ends. In addition, I'm sure if you'd research former Playboy playmates you'd find a wide range of higher educational backgrounds. And yes, there are girls out there as well who don't have the smarts but fully take advantage of their looks.

News / Made in Poland products? [66]

About a year ago I've actually encountered a flattering fashionable top at an "H&M" at one of the local shopping malls that stated "Made in Poland" on the inside back tag. I'm used to seeing clothing either made in China, India, and Indonesia more than actually made in the US.

USA, Canada / Standards of Education in US vs Poland [22]

I've always found that Europe has a much higher level of education than the US does. It's obvious that our US national standards should be increased on every level. I have been an educator myself for a few good number of years. I became very much frustrated with the politics of education, and if it were up to me, I would change quite a bit. So out of curiosity, how do the standards of education in Poland compare to the US at the elementary level? For instance, what grade do kids actually learn the basics of algebra? And on the liberal arts level, when are elementary school kids exposed to a band instrument? I'm sure a lot of it has to do with district wide budgeting and all that for the liberal arts programs, unless funding works a lot different in Poland than here in the US? I never experienced going to school in Poland as a kid, but I'd definitely be interested if anyone has any information on the stats.
