Amathyst 19 | 2,702 24 Jul 2007 / #1I watched Panorama last night and in one school where the intake of Polish children was high, the results had a significant impact, the results in the following subjects had gone up in a positve way.English (well I'll be god damned - we need Polish children to increase our schools pecking order - I dont mean that in a bad way it just shows you how these children adapt and contribute)&Maths - they had a high level of aptitude for maths

Wroclaw 44 | 5,379 27 Aug 2007 / #3Because the level of math in Poland is higher that in EnglandTrue or false, I have no idea.They do have a strange way of teaching Maths here. In Poland teachers seem to teach the most difficult, outdated way to answer a problem. There are simple ways to answer some questions.

misiek 27 Aug 2007 / #5In Poland teachers seem to teach the most difficult...And that what gives advantage.. you learn how to think, how to uderstand the teacher and if necessary make a coffe and cakes appear on his desk to move exam date..All what sound stupid usually makes a profits in the future.
