Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

Another stupidity kept by PiS. I don`t remember who invented it - PIS or previous govs.
Currently, while getting education in a high school students who are troubled with severe dyslexia are allowed some extended time during tests in class. However, this privilege comes to an end when they are sitting the final exam.

Extra time at the final exam is granted to students:

with autism, including Asperger's syndrome,

deaf,

visually impaired and blind,

with aphasia,

with motor disabilities caused by cerebral palsy,

with chronic diseases,

with social maladjustment or at risk of social maladjustment,

in a crisis or traumatic situation,

having adaptation difficulties related to previous education abroad,

with language communication disorders.

In exceptional cases, dyslexic students can write the high school leaving exam on a computer ; this adjustment is only possible when spelling disorders make it impossible to read and correctly evaluate the answers in the exam paper.

Students can count on the fact that their sheet will be graded slightly differently, and the grading rules will take into account specific learning difficulties. E.g,, spelling mistakes are ignored but only on condition students don`t mispell words into sth which already exists in the language. So, if a student writes cat instead of cut, it is treated as a mistake.

Dyslexia isn`t the reason to grant a student extra time at the final exam.

Amasing!
All dyslexic students are grateful to PIS for sticking to wise laws. After all , PiS means Law and Justice. I always repeat to my students - be grateful to the gov for everything they are doing for and to you.

So, right now I am in a cleft stick coz there are so many arguments for and against.
On the one hand, we are Christians so we should help. Additionally, we need immigrants for labour and sustainment of population.

On the other hand, if we allow too many to enter, European societies will rebel and choose far right govs which, after dealing with immigrants in a forceful brutal way, will crack down on democratic principles and rule of law, thus limiting the rights of indigenous population. I would certainly not want to be ruled by far rightists nastier and crazier than PiS.

That is nothing special, communists weren`t able to ban those things which had been so deeply rooted in Polish tradition. It was christian Poland stemming from Christian Europe, not bolshevik Russia which is half Asian and where you can freely bully the population. :):):) Similarly, communists could ban breathing to people. :):):)


In 1961, when they abolished religion education in schools (which had been taught there since 1956, so only for 5 years) you were 19. Like a big kid, you say??? :):):) That is why I said you don`t remember important facts when you boasted of being taught religion at school.

This photo comes from late 1990s and shows high school boys who participated in a summer educational camp for talented mathematicians. For over two decades the photo has been an object of endless persiflage - the boys were mocked and insulted in tens of memes as nerds, losers, freaks in Turkish sweaters etc.

However, they all made amazing international careers - one of them even worked as a programmer in American space industry.

I never laughed at the boys because I have always valued intelligence and knowledge in my students. And as a teacher, I can only wish all my students were like those boys.

Besides, I used to wear similar sweaters 30 years ago. Yes, they looked embarassing but I have never cared about fashion.

Despite those tragic facts, some Russo and Sovietophiles among Poles still opt for keeping monuments to those glorious Soviets in Poland. Yuk!! AmaSSing!

History / Occupation of Eastern Poland in 1939 [98]

Let us not forget the anniversary of Soviet attack on Poland in 1939. Soviets were best allies of Hitler`s Nazi Germany - both aggressors divided Eastern Europe into their spheres of influence according to the Ribentrop Molotov Pact. Eastern Poland, Lithuania,Estonia, Latvia and part of Romania were doomed to become Soviet new acquisitions. For the residents of those territories it meant occupation, persecution, poverty.

Don`t be stupid and stop daydreaming like a child. Before you find and grab your home gun, the attacker will have enough time to shoot you 10 times with his/her.

And when panicked,. you can kill one of your family instead of an assailant.

The decision of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party of March 5, 1940 was crucial for the fate of Polish prisoners in the Borderlands. Pursuant to it, the NKVD was to "consider in a special procedure, imposing the highest penalty - shooting" in reference to these groups: :

14,700 former Polish officers, officials, landowners, policemen, intelligence officers, gendarmes, settlers and prison guards in prisoner of war camps.

11,000 members of various espionage and sabotage counter-revolutionary organizations, former landowners, manufacturers, former Polish officers, officials and deserters arrested and imprisoned in the western regions of Ukraine and Belarus.

Ultimately, the "special troika" of the NKVD, which included Vsevolod Merkulov (the first deputy of Lavrenty Beria), Leonid Bashtakov (head of the special department) and Bogdan Kobulov (head of the administrative and economic department of the NKVD) issued 21,857 death sentences in April and May 1940. The victims of the Katyn massacre included 14,700 prisoners of war and 7,305 prisoners in prisons in the occupied Polish borderlands.

It should be emphasized here that in Soviet realities the status of Polish prisoners of war held in Kozelsk, Starobielsk and Ostashkov is difficult to clearly determine. The authorities did not respect the rules that should apply to prisoners of war, often treating officers as ordinary prisoners.

Some of them ended up in camps after being detained by the NKVD. There were also cases where officers taken prisoner in September 1939 were later transported to prisons and then subjected to brutal interrogations.

According to preserved documents, regardless of the Katyn massacre, a total of over 1,200 prisoners in the hands of the NKVD were sentenced to be shot. To this you should also add about 10 thousand. prisoners murdered in June 1941 during the Soviets' escape from the advancing Wehrmacht. However, the death sentence was not the most common punishment. Most of the arrestees were sentenced to stay in labor camps, most often for 3.5 to 8 years.

There are still disputes as to how many inhabitants of Kresy were arrested by the Soviets between September 1939 and June 1941. The preserved NKVD documentation mentions about 110,000. people. Of this, approximately 60 percent were Poles. However, some researchers believe that the data is significantly underestimated. According to Professor Krzysztof Jasiewicz, there could have been as many as 150,000 prisoners. In turn, the number of dead and murdered was from 35 thousand. up to 50 thousand.

Unlike the lands that came under German occupation, no new laws were established in the Eastern Borderlands that would specifically serve to punish Poles. The existing regulations, including the notorious Article 58 of the USSR Criminal Code, were sufficient.

It contained as many as 14 paragraphs, covering, among others, treason, espionage, terror, sabotage, sabotage, providing assistance to enemies of the USSR, providing assistance to the international bourgeoisie and propaganda activities against the Soviet empire. Moreover, as Professor Bonusiak emphasizes in his book "Poland during World War II":

"The interpretative possibilities of Article 58 were significantly expanded by Article 19 of the Penal Code, allowing for punishment for 'preparation of an act' (or even the very intention), and Article 16 of the Penal Code, introducing the concept of per analogiam - used when it was impossible to establish a charge that was provided for in the Code "

As a result, the accused could be convicted without any evidence.Moreover, in Soviet times the law operated retroactively. Therefore, citizens of the Second Polish Republic could be tried for alleged crimes committed before September 1939.

People's courts and Special Colleges attached to the NKVD were responsible for passing sentences. They were established in 1934. Initially, they could impose an administrative sentence of 10 years, and then even 25 years in a labor camp. From 1937, their powers were expanded to include death sentences by shooting and confiscation of the convict's property. There was no appeal against their decisions - usually made without the defendant's participation.

Thousands of those arrested also had to be held somewhere. In December 1939, there were 17 "general" NKVD prisons in Western Belarus. 25 similar facilities were opened in Western Ukraine. By June 1941, the total number of NKVD prisons in the incorporated territories of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had increased to 46.

In theory, they could accommodate 18,000. 562 prisoners, but as Professor Krzysztof Jasiewicz emphasizes in the book "Poland 1939-1945. Personnel losses and victims of repression under two occupations":

"The borderland prisons (as well as those deep in the USSR) were extremely overcrowded. In former Polish arrests or prisons, cells intended for several people usually held several dozen people. The density was so high that prisoners sleeping on the floor had to turn around at the same time.

Standard food consisted of several hundred grams of low-quality bread, about half a liter of watery soup, called "bałanda" in the prison and gulag jargon, and kipiatok, i.e. boiling water; sometimes there was a symbolic portion of groats with meat or fish waste."

Sanitary conditions were also offensive to human dignity. Prisoners very rarely had the opportunity to wash themselves. As a rule, there were no toilets in the cells. Inmates had to meet their physiological needs using buckets called "parashas", which were emptied once a day. All this meant that "the real plague was insects, especially lice, bedbugs and fleas." Disinfections carried out from time to time did not help much in this situation.

In addition to standard prisons, there were so-called special reception and distribution cells of the NKVD, which could accommodate from 50 to 100 inmates. They were usually located in security buildings. We can learn about the conditions there, for example, by reading the memories of Michał Krupa. He fell into the hands of the NKVD while trying to illegally cross the border. After a brutal interrogation, he was taken to the basement, where there were:

"(...) no windows or any ventilation. There was no floor, only the dirt ground. Covering my nose and mouth with pieces of a tattered shirt, I realized that this unbearable stench came from the pile of human excrement, vomit and urine that covered practically the entire floor of the basement "

A little reminder to all Sovietophiles who dream of keeping Soviet memorials in Poland.

Kania, I am talking to you, among others.

On 17th Sep 1939, Stalin`s Soviet Union, allied with Nazi Germany, attacked Poland from the east direction. Soviets immediately introduced cruel terror in occupied territory which later culminated in the Katyn Massacre. .

When on September 17, 1939, the Red Army - in fulfillment of the provisions of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact - launched the invasion of Poland, special operational groups of the NKVD moved together with the front troops. Soviet security officers had prepared lists of "enemies of the people" who needed to be arrested as soon as possible.

The lists included, among others, policemen, military personnel, senior public administration officials, judges, prosecutors, political party activists and intelligence agents. In addition, there were also "traitors of the communist idea", such as former members of the Communist Party of Poland, the Communist Party of Western Belarus, the Communist Party of Western Ukraine and refugees from the "workers' Soviet paradise" who in earlier years had sought refuge in Eastern Poland.

In addition to the NKVD, in the initial period of the occupation, numerous arrests were also made by militias or workers' guards, and even by the Red Army itself. In these cases, a common criterion for detaining a given person was the "hand test". As was the case during the Bolshevik Revolution, the hands were checked to see if they showed signs of physical work. If not, the unfortunate person was considered an "enemy of the people".

Professor Włodzimierz Bonusiak in his work "Population and economic policy of the USSR in the occupied Polish lands in 1939-1941" states that according to Soviet archives, by the end of September 1939, 3,914 people were arrested in Western Ukraine alone, including:

gendarmes, policemen, official and secret intelligence and police agents - 2,539,
landowners and bourgeoisie - 293,
officers and settlers - 381,
activists of UNDO, OUN and other parties - 144,
petlurists, participants of bandit groups - 74,
remaining - 483 people.

The situation was similar in Western Belarus. Already on October 7, 2,708 people were put behind bars there.
They included, among others, 241 members of political parties, 128 "kulaks", 30 fugitives from the USSR and 171 police agents. The growing spiral of persecution is best evidenced by the fact that two weeks later there were already 4,315 detainees.
