231. I've already forgotten how emotional it is.

After saying good-bye to Onet Premium, resulting from the shitty quality of journalism, for a time we wondered what to buy in this place. Politics and the Weekly Universal came to the final, and we'd have a hard nut to crack, but at that moment, your promotion came, which tipped the scales of triumph in favour of Politics, making it a subscription twice as inexpensive as TP. I haven't had time to sit down decently yet, but the first sniffing of content indicates a much higher quality than the abandoned portal. And so, as 1 of the first articles I received a column of Dariusz Chętkowski about contemporary proms.

My prom was 36 years ago, so I had time to forget the emotions. possibly due to the fact that I have never been a fan of large events with even greater expectations, I have not remembered anything worth describing in detail. The greater impressions come with the preparation itself, where I first saw the talent in my peers. The plan and execution of the decoration (traditionally painted on the immense layers of wrapping paper) and the prom program was something that made me realize that we were “anything at once”. Therefore, with rather a distaste, I accepted a small constructive criticism of the headmaster, who had any problem with the abstract humour that appeared in the prom show. All the more so, after years, he became the point of the show, which holds the most in my memory (and I was just a spectator, I did not put my hand on the show). The event itself..., well, for me it wouldn't be different from the average school dance if it wasn't for the caterer's work of the participants in this process, but we know this from Polish weddings, so it's not specified a singularity. I remember most of all that I was afraid about attending this ball, and I was happy that it was done without any more embarrassment.

About the end of the millennium, it occurred to me that there were no proms anymore, that now you rent waiting rooms in hotels and wedding homes. In my first instinct, it sparked my protest that it was specified an easy walk. But erstwhile I thought about safety, I decided that hiring a service area wasn't the worst option. erstwhile I remember the paper decorations or the trendy masking net hanging low above my head, everything flammable, and the emergency exits from the school closed so that uninvited people would not enter, I am glad that customs have changed. Alcohol, smoking cigarettes (not only in the bathroom, besides behind flammable decorations), throwing butts... Everything's fine until nothing happens, but erstwhile I think about it, we were responsible. It's easier to close all exits than pay the guards. All done by the method “on a greedy shrewd man”, but on the another hand, with a immense motion as to the excess food that disappeared after the party. In another words, individual got himself into trouble, individual created a threat, individual else had fun and waved his hand at everything else, and individual else utilized confusion for material gain. Like in a commune!

Perfect – Reading for Janka

And now, only in the 4th paragraph, I am yet getting to the point, or the problems raised by Dariusz Chętkowski of contemporary proms, to which I feel like reacting. First of all, I am referring to 2 of them: The first is the issue of inviting teachers (the author of the policy column suggested that students should decide which of them would be invited and who would not), and the second is the issue of deficiency of financial statements (he said that students do not know in item what their money goes to). Both aroused my emotions, though for another reasons.

The college is simply a conventional elder prom and preparing their teachers, not a group of friends and colleagues. Picking who we want to invitation and who we don't is simply a public stigma. I realize the shitty desire to play off any unliked teacher, but there are 2 or even 3 ways: If the charges are specific, there is simply a directorate, there is an education curator, there you can make authoritative protests and learn about the result of their consideration. The 3rd way is to tell the teacher consecutive in the eye what you think of him. If someone's afraid to do it before graduation, they can do it after the exam. Teachers can besides be judged in the course of learning, and possibly there should be a plaque on which each teacher's contributions and merits are exchanged. How about the school website? Evaluation from students, evaluation from management, results from graduates of this educator. But I can't imagine excluding current teachers from authoritative school events on the basis of liking or dislike by students. Mr. Chętkowski argued that now the prom is out of school, so the teachers are not its hosts. but the prom without teachers, it's not a prom. Mathuricians are adults, they can organize any another event and invitation selected teachers to it, or not invitation them at all. They can besides quit prom at all, yet we're free people, but I can't imagine this kind of crap like that for students to decide which teachers to invitation to prom or not. If I was a teacher, I'd boycott that shit. Especially since for teachers, it's not as breathtaking as it seems to students. They have it all year and really, not everyone should be a fan of watching drunk/ high-schooled subjects or friends from the pedagogical community.

One of Chętkowski's arguments for giving the decision to invitation each teacher and individual students is that young people pay. I'll admit that's 1 of the most pathological justifications I've always heard. So what, we invalidate the definition of prom, the past of education built for years, both nationwide and local – in this peculiar school is not to matter, the function of the teacher and another employees, the full teaching that the student took from all the teachers throughout the years of classes in this school goes to the basket, due to the fact that the punk drew the parents' money, so now he wants to divide and regulation according to his momentary whim????? Is that what we want to teach future generations? Bringing the planet of fresh Trumps, who think that if they have money, they're allowed to underestimate people due to the fact that they pay with a blip? Especially since it was the students themselves who applied to the teachers for education! I'm not buying it, I object!

Crisis – doll valley

There was besides an thought for teachers to pay for their participation in the prom. I'll say this: I surely wouldn't pay for something I don't feel like. I can get over the prom ritual as an expression of respect for school, teachers, another employees and students, but to pay for parties that don't entertain me, that's not very much. It's just, it's not my kind to relax. This, however, does not origin my biggest opposition to the thought of paying participation of teachers. It is among the advanced school youth that the most popular are the different Menzens, Brauns, or Janusze Korwin-Mikke, proclaiming the abolition of taxes. Any student who cries that he has to pay for a prom night of teachers should know that thanks to taxes in general these teachers have a place to study, has a chance to go to a prom, come to a graduation, file papers for college. This is simply a good lesson: “You cry, kid, due to the extra tens of dollars, and you don't announcement that taxes have funded salaries and insurance for all those teachers who spent 4 or 5 years studying with you. You'd gotta pay $400 a period alternatively of erstwhile all 4 years if there were no taxes. Would your parents return your allowance, a cool prospect?’

In general, I consider greed to be 1 of the leading Polish qualities in percent terms for the population. As you can see from the erstwhile description, there is no 1 to pay, but already 4 years for free, be entertained, and yes, there are many willing. With the subject of paying for teachers, the question of financing their accompanying persons has arisen. In this case, I think it should be like the students. They want to come with their companions, and teachers should come with them. They want to save? Let them play with each other, the teachers will besides be without their couples. I know cases of proms where students have given up introducing accompanying persons. Teachers besides go to manufacture events only among themselves, so I see no problem.

Closed Branch – There is no price for this

For dessert, requested by Mr. Chętkowski to supply financial statements on the usage of funds for prom. I agree completely and honestly with him, I wonder that this work is not yet present. I am sick of this Polish shrewdness, where from the common pot something for the chosen will be bought quietly. A clear settlement is besides a safeguard against legal problems for money managers. So even for the communes, my teacher, in organizing a school trip, made copies of the bills, and the remainder of the money was transferred to the parental committee. due to the fact that she was a scholar. But here I am learning that these are not common customs. This is most likely another Polish problem: As shortly as individual has a function somewhere, they start to figure out what to do here to get more than due to this function they deserve.
