Everyone is helpful to each other. We are there for each other and if someone needs something, there are more than enough people willing to help. On the other hand, for families it is so difficult to get a family home with a small garden and own front door. There are far too few terraced houses that consist of just an average single-family home with 2 floors. That makes expanding the family terribly difficult. In terms of education, unfortunately I don't hear many good things within my circle of acquaintances. More attention should be paid to the interaction between teacher and student. And communication with parents could definitely be better. My daughter attends a playgroup and so far I only have good things to say about that, fortunately. Furthermore, one-on-one attention could help students. Moreover, I think that students in secondary schools should learn about the Second World War. It is an important part of our history.
