If parents took responsibility then we wouldn't have an obesity problem.

Grow up, if u are that insecure then do something about it.

child its down to the parent

Of course it is. You're the parent, you cant expect the schools to take over your responsibilities.

Cant be bother reading the rest, will be garbage. Sorry.

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]

moods are always just around the corner.

Not if you drug them up first ;)

Edit: Disclaimer; I do not condone drugging them up first in any case, unless its with copious amounts of vodka!

Love / My recent experience with a Polish girl. [231]

They both told me that they like to stop speaking to people at the end of a relationshp.

Bingo.

I'm just saying here, that I don't agree with it and I think people should combat such peoples' actions

It's not up to you or anyone else to combat that. Why would anyone want to?
It's A.Not your decision and B. They can do whatever the hell they want afterwards.

Love / My recent experience with a Polish girl. [231]

TWO YES TWO Polish girls ignoring me, something I didn't experience with any other girls!

Why assume its them with the problem. It seems like its 2 against 1 when it comes to your problem. I hardly think its anything to do with them being Polish, I've never been ignored by any Polish girl, even my ex's.

disgusting reaction.

There you go again, blaming someone else. So PAL take a look in the mirror before gobbing off about something so dumb as this.

Assuming what?? That you have carried on almost the exact same thread as you did last time. Again about how you can get a girl to talk to you cos she is ignoring you... Something sounds a bit fishy, maybe take your head out yer ass and think why 2....yes thats now TWO girls (both being Polish) have chosen to ignore you??!! Same thread, different girl, get over yourself, creep.

Stop being a creep and leave the lass alone. If she doesn't want to speak to you she will have her good reasons.

Work / KFC or Mc Donalds, do you need a resident card to work here? [19]

Well depends on his card and its limits. He would need residency, then a nip number, a work permit, to be able to speak both Polish and English, a registered address and a few other things. Whats his country of origin?

Work / Quiet Place to teach English in Krakow ? [24]

A lot of ppl used to live like that. Not my favorite living arrangement.

I didn't exactly enjoy it. Especially it was during the time towards the end of our relationship. So I found a flat on Krowoderska within a month or two. I DID however enjoy having my dinner made for me every day:)

Work / Quiet Place to teach English in Krakow ? [24]

Seriously

Yep. I stayed just outside on Ul.Wielicka, there were some new apartment blocks built there. Plus a lot of investment is going into Podgorze at the moment. When I first came to Krk it was a bit down and out, with lots of K*rwa boys about. But they didn't bother you. Nowa Huta was the first place I lived in krakow with my ex to be parents in laws and gf, it was a two room flat with the parents bedroom also being the living room :D. I didn't mind it at all. They always told me not to go out after dark, but I enjoyed walking around and meeting the folk around there who actually to me were the most friendliest I met in Krk. Even the skin heads outside the 24hr alkohole kiosks...Well only after they found out I was Scottish and pretended to support Celtic :D Coming from war-torn Glasgow, Huta was a paradise:D

Work / Quiet Place to teach English in Krakow ? [24]

Wasn't 'Schindler's List' (in part) filmed there?

In part yes. Also his factory is in Podgórze just across the river. It has opened a new museum dedicated to him. A little further down the road besides Kopiec Krakus is where they had the film set for the concentration camp in the film. Podgórze's concentration camp (that not many tourists know about) is also in the area within Krakow's borders. I liked living in Podgórze a lot. It will be the new place to be within Krakow. Lots of trendy new bars and cafes are planned for the area.

Work / Quiet Place to teach English in Krakow ? [24]

I have indeed heard of Kazimerez....a labyrinth of bars and Jewish architecture ?

Yep, it's a laid back area with some great little haunts to explore. You will have fun I am sure :)

what is the going rate these days for an hour of English with a native english speaker?

Depends really on your reputation and what the students needs are. The longer you have been teaching there (and hopefully not rearranging your lessons due to heavy hangovers...or even worse by being outright drunk) the more you can charge. For starting off, a nice bet is 40z's an hour. Once you have been there for a few months you can start asking for more. Also depends on your client. Because of the amount of teachers there, its a good idea to have them tied down after a couple of lessons, if you think they can afford it, ask for a month in advance. Krakow's students tend to be a little unreliable, so don't sell yourself cheap.

Will you be looking for work at a school?

Well as I said, good luck to you :)

Why you coming to Krakow?

A good place to have your lessons would be Pod Baranami, just on the market square down a wee alley. Upstairs there is a cinema which but if you continue through to the back over the courtyard you will find a nice wee cafe/bar, where you can have the privacy to do your lessons and also still be in a public place easy for you or your student to get to.

Check out Nic Nowego during the early afternoons as another place for lessons. I'm afraid during the summer months a few stags go there. The bar maids are nice and once they get to know you, they will let you print your material for free. Tom is the owner (Irish guy) and Mariusz is the bar manager.

But the schools will keep on paying them cos they are cheap :/

Anyway, the OP of this post neither stated his qualifications or much else. Maybe he is just looking to do some conversation lessons on the side. I say good luck to him, just means when I go back to Krakow I can charge a little more;)

There are a few little places you could have your lessons in. My advice would be to take a look around Kaz, lots of little bars/cafe's. Or you could just ask the student what places they like.

Genealogy / Rzeszów in 1864 [8]

Rzeszow itself is an uninspiring city. Typical industrial town with not much going for it. Though having said this, it is my fav city in the whole of Poland. It has a tiny but beautiful wee square in the centre and the people are brilliant:)
