” All this collabora-tion, every-thing is built on col-laboration between staff members and once they hear that there are ways and that someone can help them, then they will not want to leave” ”The staff itself, sure, if it does not, you know, hold hands enough and stick to each other, then you are alone. And you feel you have no one to rely upon and you drop out from this place” ”If there will be here a language of openness and of collabora-tion at school, there is no reason, to very great extent teachers survive. Teacher remain, not as survivors but remains with love” ”The atmosphere at school is really the key word becuase the pupils also see how the teachers talk with each other, the atmosphere at school and this affects them. As a result the pupils really succeed, due to the atmosphere and the sense of belonging. I think that the sense of belonging is the most important” ”Creat-ing a sense of belong-ing” ”There must be a wide envelope from a pedagog-ical and emotional point of view and from the aspect of the atmosphere at school” ”But in other schools... these are bigger and the teachers’ lounge is not small and familial as in our school. I think that this is the first factor that makes us anyway cope with this daily practice” ”The atmosphere at school was not simple. Frequently the school staff shouted at the pupils. There were incidents of violence between children and groups of children in the school-yard” ”If we have here an atmosphere of a family, of home, of a staff that walks together with you, they always remain since they choose to do it, since it’s fun”
