Card image cap

In her talk, Aneta Korycińska, widely known as "Baba od polskiego", shows that an education system designed for decades around a single, "typical" student has long stopped matching the reality of the classroom. Korycińska discusses neurodiversity - how differently the minds of students with ADHD, autism, or dyslexia function - and why treating these differences as problems to be "fixed," rather than a natural form of variation, harms both students and the teaching process itself. The talk is an invitation to rethink education not as a single path for everyone, but as a system that should adapt to the diversity of minds, rather than the other way around. Polish philologist. Founder of the "Baba od polskiego" brand, which shows that the Polish language does not have to be boring. She combines literature, culture, and humor into engaging educational content. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
