It's around the 6 or 7, I think so.
Where's the problem? have you got any suggestions?
Maybe the problem is that we sometimes waste our time talking or doing other things, but I haven't got any suggestions.
Writing:
I think that our education system is effective,but still it might be more strict because if 30 % of students in Catalonia don't have the ESO Certificate, it must be for some reason.
The students are working hard enough but sometimes, I think that we can work a little bit more. If we worked a little more, more students may have the ESO Certificate.
Some or most of the parents help their children with their homework. But also teachers(of other places), when the students finish the school they help them.
Probably the average in my class is around the six or seven %. I think that we are a good class and we work a lot.
