The high schools in Poland, although structured differently from those in the U.S., still have similarities: the sights of students frantically completing homework or studying, the social interaction and cliques, and teachers monitoring the hallways.
However, in Poland, at the end of middle school you must take entrance exams which will determine which high school you will go to. Instead of the "A, B, C, D, and F" grading scale, Polish schools use one through five. Everyday, the class schedule varies and students can be dismissed from classes anywhere from 1 p.m. through 3:30 p.m. The classes taught during any given year include English, Polish, history, religion, and chemistry.
Throughout Poland, English is regularly being taught to students. The class is structured to include and enforce the use of conversational English, meaning that Polish is rarely heard during this period. 
On this particular day, preceding the English was Polish. This class is an upper level of Polish literature, similar to the U.S. high school English classes. 
Polish history is another subject taught in the school systems. Several centuries are covered, including the early kings and ending with modern Polish history.
