Education - Poetry, football, and life's unexpected lessons

In an elementary school, children are assigned the task of memorizing Julian Tuwim's complex poem “Science.” As they grapple with its abstract metaphors and unfamiliar language, their parents step in to help.

However, poetry’s ambiguity becomes apparent, especially when competing with the real-world distraction of a televised Legia Warszawa football match. While grades may vary, the experience offers more than just academic lessons—it’s a reflection of how life and art intertwine in unexpected ways.
