Hi, I'm doing a project on Polish Education and Polish culture, and the instructor requires us to answer a few questions and cover a few topics that I can't seem to find online or anywhere else.

-How do teaching and discipline syles differ [from North America]?

-How is achievement reported (e.g. report cards)

-What is the general attitude towards education?

-How are teachers/ the teaching profession seen?

-Common English language difficulties (for Polish ESL students)- both oral and written (e.g. pronunciation of certain sounds, articles left out, alphabetic system, past tense markers left out).

-body language (e.g. does a smile mean something different than in North American culture?)

-use of gestures or other non-verbal language

- expressions of friendliness

-use of eye contact (e.g. is eye contact typically avoided? is it rude? do you only do it if you know the person well?)

-attitude towards punctuality

-style of dress

-gender differences

-cultural / religious practices

-speaking in class, asking questions

-concept of plagiarism

-forms of addressing the teacher.

-attitudes towards music/art/drama/physical ed in schools



If anyone can comment on any of these topics, much appreciated! Thanks

Badly. They are poorly paid. They are burn out and don't put enough efford in teaching in many cases.

In Poland it's hard to disciplinate a pupil because suspention and detention doesn't exist. There is a mark given for behaviour but no one cares even if is going to have naganne (reprehensible - the worst note for behaviour) for the end of the year. If a person attend school above secondary education (such as liceum) then for a bad behaviour a pupil might be disciplinarly removed from a school.
