jaka forma jest poprawna: In the school, in a school, in school? chodzi o formę brytyjską
Temat artykułu: Praca z dziećmi sprawiającymi kłopot w szkole, rola nauczycieli, rodziców i psychologów pracujących w szkole.

oprócz at school i in school, bardzo często autor stosuje in the school, czasami in a school. Jest to termin ogólny, nie chodzi o konkretną szkołę, np psycholog pracujący w szkole nie może skupiać się tylko na dzieciach, ponieważ ich problemy mają z reguły głębszy wymiar, musi też współpracować z rodzicami i nauczycielami

Splendid!
Dry leaves could be ... you know what I mean.
Maybe you were bad boys in front of your house :).
Kidding, I'am certain you were a very good one!

Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Mar 24, 2021:
We lived in an apartment complex. These were decorative bushes.
Jacek Rogala (X) Mar 24, 2021:
So you didn't clean the front of your house? The grass grew like in the bush?


Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Mar 24, 2021:
Looks like there were many bushes around your school. Mine did not, but there were bushes in front of my house. As kids, we took dried leaves, rolled them into cigars, lit them, and tried to inhale the smoke. It was acrid in taste, but we could say that we smoked like adults.
Jacek Rogala (X) Mar 24, 2021:
It is not a building only.
To be physically, inside the school refers to the entire school territory - building, sport court, maybe auditorium, cantines and finally bushes for smoking cigarettes ;)

Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Mar 24, 2021:
Thank you, Jacek, for the lively discussion. As I tried to point out, there is a bit of naunce in all these options. For example, at school, can be more than in a building. For example, the child may be playing basketball at an outdoor court and still be at school. They behave badly at school (meaning during school hours). To behave badly "at the school" would be singling out a particular building. Perhaps, they behave better in another building. And so it goes.
Jacek Rogala (X) Mar 23, 2021:
I think the Polish title of this article is unappropriate and logically very faulty, looking sort of like strangely shortened.
Now, what to do, to translate literally, or otherwise - logically.
Bad boys and girls are physically, inside the school so they are at school, actually. They behave badly at the school.

Here, this is school in general (not a building) - a school setting - that is any school, so "in school," while being students.
Here, "causing problems at school" would mean causing problems when inside the school as opposed to causing problems when on the street, for example.


in a school = w jakiejkolwiek szkole
a psychologist working in a school = a school psychologist, as opposed to an industrial psychologist, for example - a psychologist working in a factory


can influence the teaching process not only in the school but also in the family.
in the school = w środowisku szkolnym
The school nie odnosi się do szkoły jako budynku, ale do szkoły w sensie miejsca nauki.
