In the fi rst, in relation to the author’s own research, she outlines the picture of school conversations between teachers and students. In the second, she indicates that after the pandemic, the conversation between all subjects of education is one of the key conditions for the school’s culture. Aim. The aim of the article is to try to answer the following questions: Is the school a place of understanding between teachers and students? Can these two groups talk to each other? Is a conversation between all subjects of education a necessary condition for creating a “new” school after the pandemic, and if so, to what extent, and in what way? Materials and methods. The article uses some of the results of own research and a short analysis of the recommendations developed by the Centre for Civic Education in the report entitled Szkoła ponownie czy szkoła od nowa? Jak wygląda powrót do stacjonarnej edukacji? Results. The author’s own research shows that there are no conversations between teachers and students at school.
