Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]
E.g, this year, the advanced final Polish exam for high schools included the topic of Cinnamon Shops by Bruno Schulz, Polish Jewish writer who perished in the ghetto in 1942.
Topic 2.
How is space created in literary works and what is the function of such creation in a given work?
At work, refer to:
· a selected short story from the volume Cinnamon Shops by Bruno Schulz
· other literary works from two different eras
· selected context.
Currently there is chaos and nobody knows anything for sure.
Teachers are sceptical about the idea.
I think that this solution will generate new difficulties. There are already a lot of Ukrainian children in schools, especially in Łódź. But they have been here for two years, they have passed the preparatory stage in terms of learning the language and adapting the requirements. Schools have implemented procedures, students have adapted and the teaching is functioning somehow, says Agnieszka Michałowska.
She adds: - Now, more children are to be admitted to the system. We don't know what stage of education they are at, what about their knowledge of the language. It is not known whether they will be automatically admitted to classes where other Ukrainians study today, or to preparatory classes. It should be emphasized that these are children whose families were not interested in Polish schools for two years, and now they are forced to do so. We have very serious concerns about how they will cope
The deputy head of the Polish Teachers' Union in the Łódź region emphasizes that motivation may be crucial in the case of new students. Experience shows that children from families who associate their future with Poland usually do better, they come to lessons willingly, they have a goal, they know why they are learning. The situation is different in the case of those families who are in limbo and do not know whether they will return to Ukraine after the war or seek their happiness elsewhere.
Actually, a lot of Jewish Poles and Polesses are considered very Polish.
