Teenagers and the quality of Polish educational system.

 Let me start with a quote from 'Psychologia nastolatka' ('The Psychology of the Adolescent'): "When a teenager enrolls in a drama club class, for example, he steps outside his comfort zone, takes risks, limits his control, and begins the process, often without knowing the outcome. Additionally, he starts to build social relationships with other kids, learns attentiveness, co-responsibility, closeness. That when he is part of a team, what happens between people becomes most important, not his individual goals. What is more important is the relationship, not the being right." (Psychologia nastolatka, nr 4/2022, p. 78) The school system in Poland does not (in my opinion) prepare teenagers for the realities of life. How can this be changed? It seems to me that parents and teenagers themselves should demand somehow the quality of education, so that the school is not overloaded with theoretical content, a modern school should ensure learning how to solve problems.

V “Psychologii nastolatka” (“Psychologii dospívajících”, č. 4/2022, str. 77) si můžeme přečíst následující pasáž: “(…)  vzdělávání by měli reprezentovat odborníci , kteří rozumí psychologický
