Personally, I think Barendrecht is a really nice place to live. I live in a beautiful neighbourhood, but unfortunately it's quite racist and we are very much excluded. Apart from the people, it's perfect. The tram and bus are within walking distance, the shopping centre is a 3-minute walk away, and a large nature area is also very close. As for education, I have to say I had a bad experience. My class was not mixed, and the children were very racist, even the teachers. I was often called a monkey and things like that. And at my other primary school, we had a teacher who deliberately bullied children, shouted, and threw sharpened pencils at them. It's really bizarre that she was allowed to work as a teacher for so long. Because of this, I also completed my secondary school in Rotterdam.
