Education
One Polish elementary school asks its students to memorize Julian Tuwim’s poem, “Science”. The poetic phrases are sometimes incomprehensible and require explanation, and the students’ parents come to their aid. Unfortunately, not all metaphors can be easily explained; poetry clashes with the prose of life when a football game is broadcast on television. Some students will receive less than perfect grades, and some will fail, but everyone will learn something from this lesson.
