Pawian, Zooba - rozga

[Jaga]

Dear Polish friends,

do you have any picture of rozga (a dry branch stick) which is given to bad and not that bad children in Poland. I was looking for it the last year, I cannot find any good picture on the internet.

if you do, please send it to me:

You couldn`t find it because yuor keyboard doesn`t generate Polish ó.

Pawian,

I did try with ó
what about these small golden branches which we were given as kids? I wish I had such small rozga picture, not just a branch of straw.

I wasn't given a "rozga" I was beaten with it if I had happened to be naughty.
Frankly speaking, I never saw it but I always imagined it as a kind of a whip.
The things on Pawian's photos don't look serious enough to scare anybody.

Zooba, where did you grow up? Don`t they have rózgas in the city of Poznań? The city whose discipline and order is so known that it became proverbial in Poland? hahahahaha



Rózga was never meant to scare anybody. It was a mockery of a real punitive device.

Santa - terrorist - he deserves a real rozga now!

Pawian is right, in Krakow, all the kids were given rozgas. It was like a ribbon to the bag full of candies.

This is the photo where I had to look to make sure there was no whip in sight... I believe it was during a visit to Hamburg, Germany, where they have a night life that will give you anything you want, anything, dahling ...
