    Not true, it’s maths, worst scores on exams are from maths

    That said kids struggle with Polish a lot because we have letters that are identical in all but how they look and there are rules when you use which one and it’s a bitch to learn

    Also completely useless

    The lesson “Polish” is like 99% about the history of polish literature which no one cares about

  3. I was 20 when my education has come to an end.
    After all those years I still don’t fully understand how my language works.
    But I know a fucking lot about English and German :,)

    I can only confirm as a 50 year old. Polish class was the hardest of them all. Glad it ended when I had a matura exam. At least I remember all the names of Polish class teachers through my whole education. Most of them were either sadists or very special narcissists, maybe except very few.

    Nothing, you should ask what’s going on in Russia. What kind of subject is that, wtf?

  6. You learn actual Polish language maybe for the first few years of elementary school, afterwards it becomes a Polish literature class where you have few weeks to read huge ass books which nobody really does. At least that’s how it looked when i went to school 15 years ago.

    Besides Polish being the hardest subject everywhere, this just being a matter whether it’s teached, I disagree with biology in Germany.
    Math takes the crown there too

  8. I don’t know how it is now but when I was in school in the 90s polish language was broken into two subject.
    Grammar and Literature.

    Literature – not only polish but also English, French, Russian, Italian writers – was boring for a lot of students.

    Grammar – well that one is difficult AF for a lot of people since polish language is mental.

  9. It’s not even about the language, it’s the equivalent of English literature which is a bullshit subject that relies a lot on seeing things in words that aren’t there.

  10. As I pole, I kinda think its funy that our west neighbour has issues with biology, like, you still believe in uber mensch and you fail biology due this? 🤣 /s

    Russian is also difficult, even for native speakers. English lessons were much easier for me than Russian lessons.

  12. it’s not that it’s the hardest. The teachers are just retarded. Countless times I handed over my works to the teacher just to get a 3 (or C in usanian) and no real constructive feedback. “It’s that style. of yours, it just doesn’t flow well” the fuck you mean it doesn’t flow well? How about you tell me how to fix that and define a good style for me first? That’s why I’ve always loved maths – there’s no place for bullshit like that. Stuff is precise and set in stone. You either understand and obey the rules or are too dumb or impatient to go through the topic. Everything is written down, some people need more time than others, but it’s very preciaely defined. With polish you can get a lower grade just cause the teacher doesn’t “”like”” how you wrote and that’s it. It further demotivates to even read the mandatory books, cause what’s the point of spending such absurd amount of time to read a 3k page trilogy if you can spend these hours differently. No other topic requires that amount of out of school preparation as this one and it’s just not too useful beyond the basics. I truly despised these lessons and could rant on and on, so I’ll just stfu…

    Everone is talking about history of literature or grammar, but none is really understanding what was really hard in polish. It wasn’t about the lessons content, but about what was being checked on tests and quizes.

    First thing on polish they are teaching us, probably the most boring selection of books there is (I am a book nerd, read them all and I know what I am talking about). These books are compulsory reads, and most of them are not even from polish authors. Teachers usualy have an obsession with terorizing students with sudden questions about things that are in the books, even before the time to read them passed.

    Next is the grammar, in english usualy its not the problem, words stay essentialy the same, except verbs and few cases, but in polish there are letters that have rules of use (for example you either use ‚rz’ or ‚sz’ for some sounds, you use ‚rz’ if the letter before was a consonant, otherwise its a ‚sz’, but even them there are exceptions). On some lessons there are even concepts like ‚frazeologiczny rozbiór zdania’ (i am not gonna translate that) in which we ‚learn’ how to correctly indentifie what part of speach is dach word, and its parts.

    Lastly there are long written forms, on which we have to write different, academick-like peaces of writing. Usualy you have to make 200-300 hundreth long essay on a given topic, but there are also analysis, characterizations of a character from a book and many others. And if you made too many (around 8) grammar mistakes, you lose hałd points, if you haven’t wrote ‚on the topic’ (meaning exactly what the teacher wanted) you lost second half, or more.

    And all of this, ar the same time is being checked twice a month on a huge, usualy 4/5 pages long test, for which complition you have around 30 minutes (as my teacher said many times you would have 40 if little Krzyś (Kris) wasn’t that loud). And I didn’t even mentioned ‚penality quizes’ the teachers like to bestow upon all the students, becouse the guy who always missbahaves, missbahaved. Those have around half of material to check you, but you also have only 10 minutes to compleate it.

    Rant over.

    Bullshit, I’ve had plenty of people that barerly passed math, Polish was never such bad
