I like your phrase very much! I’d like to include phrases such as in my vocabulary.
Thank you for interesting post. The problem you told very common is.

This is interesting – believe it or not, in Germany we have similar problems, not necessarily between city and country people, but because our education system is different in the different states (in our federal system, educational policy is not national, but state policy). This means that students in some parts of Germany even finish high school a year earlier than students in other parts of the country. And there can be different exam standards, different subjects etc. These differences cause problems for families with kids who move within Germany and obviously for all those who start university. There have been attempts to tackle these problems, but as long as there is no common federal education policy….
