3. Research in 2015: only one-fifth of Estonian students really like to go to school These results were obtained in the course of an international study being of children Children's WORLD. As in Estonia and Poland, as well as in Israel, one in ten children admitted that he did not like going to school. The critical attitude of Estonians to the school can be seen from the study: compared with other local students rate their relationships with teachers and classmates as the poorer, and only about one-third feel that the teachers in the school are considered to be their opinion. Children are often dissatisfied with their assessments - almost one in ten is worried because of them, and about a quarter are often or occasionally feel unsafe school.

4. The problem with classmates The research is noteworthy and that the relationship with teachers is not the best, but communication with classmates felt even more complicated. Have problems with classmates accepted 8.8% of Estonian pupils, and in comparison there were more, and those who are in the last month among local children beat (also shoved, pushed) and excluded from the company. Relationship with classmates directly related to another aspect of Estonian students - in other countries are doing homework with friends, including with school and Estonians mostly learn alone. Very much - more than 90% - Estonian students have daily homework given at school. Family relationships Estonians are pretty good, but the striking total employment - a time to be with family, no children, no parents. Solving the problem in Estonia: Projects in schools: "Games of good behavior", "The kindergarten / school without violence", Different programs. The schools work: psychologists and special teachers.
