Teaching our kids about Polish History

♂

Edited by: legend Jun 7, 11, 07:44 #31

Ya I live in Canada they did not say ANYTHING about Poland in any history class
(Elementary or High school... in College I never took any history)

Okay okay there are 2 exceptions:

1)Copernicus was Polish
2)Poland was invaded by Germany to start WWII.

Other than that NOTHING.

It was not until after elementary school that I started to learn about Polish history and damn I loved reading about it... except the parts where we lost :D

This reminds me of Bush saying dont forget Poland when the stuff in the Middle East/Asia started to happen.

spent 2 years learning about aboriginal history which is one of the most boring cultures in the world yet we must suck up to them here in australia aka where a nanny state

yeh I always thought Australia was quite boring too....you poor child.
The only Polish history we did here in UK was watching that hilarious filmette of the Polish Cavalry charging German tanks. Now I think about it I am sure that was a cut and paste job.
Really though one can always ..y know...read up yourself on what interests you instead of whining about your school's shortcomings.
Y know??? Independent study??

Suck up to them??

What an ignorant little oik. Lets be clear about something buddy......you are the intruder. Not them.

They were on that Island a long time before the British and certainly a long time before the Polish.

You should pay them a little more respect because they damn well deserve it.

gontowski:

alot of poles no nothing of the kat'lyn massiare

Oh ......and its Katyn Massacre or Zbrodnia katyńska not to be confused with Khatyn.
