That head teacher is so incredibly calm and supportive. To be able to reassure and support teachers in a difficult situation, support a family thats struggling, and to be able to say sometimes an education must take a hit and come second to more important things is so admirable.

[@hardylee6756]

Mr sage is such a great guy, we need more teachers like him

[@Inferno_Canto]

Linda and her brother, assuming (sorry for that) from their appereance and her Czech accent, are of Roma ethnicity, a minority in Czech often percieved as unconforming group where most of its members are uneducated or finished only the mandatory school part (6 to 15 years of age), this trend is however slowly positively progressing. Some families of this community migrated to UK with a vision of better life and quality inclusion in effort to move away from the stereotypical position they have among the Czech population. I'd say props to her mother for wanting better for her children, even if the transition and culture shock may be difficult. Sending Florian back to Czech is clearly a bad decision for his development, even though Czech education system is generally percieved to be very good, but I understand why such decision was necessary for the quality of the family's well-being.

[@ContrarianExpatriate]

Clearly. I wish them the best however.

[@flashylite]
