The headteacher says a lot of it is quality of the lessons.
Still, as much as 80% of pupils in high school sign out!

I know you are trying to have some fun and laugh here but it actually annoys me.
Well, enough said. See you in other threads :)

I actually take offense at that as I see your views no more Polish than theirs or mine.

Religion did their bit of killing as well.

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [314]


I'm really flabbergasted. What irritation? A 4 and a 7 yo in my family didn't even notice the difference. I'm sure that if such small kids manage adults should have no problems. It seems to be people who are irritated by it simply want to be irritated.

From what I read it's also about the sorting machines. Even if the cap was thrown into recycling it wasn't being recycled because of its size.

History / Polish Army Day [82]


I learnt that we have a Polish/Ukrainian/ Lithuanian brigade. Didn't know that

No LOL here, we do say na zdrowie when someone sneezes.

It will have to be a sworn translator, so usually the consulate website lists them.

Law / What age can a parent kick out their child in Poland? [9]

My friend kicked out her brother after they signed the flat to her (they were in agreement about kicking him out) The difference was he wasn't really living there, just registered there.

On the other hand being evicted when single and with a kid to take care off is not so easy either.

I watched most of it (admittedly while cleaning so I wasn't paying that much attention but the dancing was beautiful and the music was great. I only glimpsed that controversial bit so I wasn't aware of the skandal really. Obviously as an atheist it didn't hurt my feeling. As to the artistic value- I would have to rewatch it.

Few things here:
- such law was never under referendum.
- just because A>B doesn't mean C can vote something in/out

Life / Unmedicated home birth in Poland? [7]


It's not popular at all. None of my friends even considered it. I think the fear of complications, most midwifes etc working at hospitals etc, overcrowded housing for many decades

Poland has exceptional statistics on survival but there is problem with pain management, c section, treatment etc

Food / Polish cakes made in Poland [115]


That's my favourite!
I would advice making the dough few days earlier so it has time to freeze. The dough has to be grated ( at least the top. Bottom can be laid down) and I find it easier to not do everything in one day 😀
