00:04:01 Is it recording? Should I answer? - Yes it is. Go on.
00:05:23 I have worked my bone for him to study, not to do other things.
00:06:20 The teacher couldn't find out who was responsible, so he sent children sitting at last two rows out and your son is among them.
00:07:30 My viewpoint is that I have worked hard to bring money home and he is spending it and studying here.
00:08:55 And I expect my son to associate with his teacher and introduce the disturber.
00:11:42 The teacher has destroyed the pupil's personality. The act is wrong but the factor leading to such an act is the teacher, not the pupil.
00:13:48 Otherwise, you can't ignore the fact that resistances are different.
00:15:31 I think he has made a rightful decision. Because he has realized of the crime he was involved in. He knew the truth and he wasn't telling it.
00:18:30 I believe if there's someone who wants to detect, investigate, report or discover social diseases, he'd better do it in a more principled and deep percpective rather than in a private framework.
00:20:43 I thin k before performing such act, this pupil should have discussed it among his members so that they could find a solution together.
00:23:12 This procedure is a wrong procedure. It's not compatible with Islamic lessons to force someone to testify against someone else.
00:24:43 Saturday
00:26:27 Reaction is completely right, and if you're seeing something bad in this scene, it's the teacher's wrong-doing.
00:28:24 Resistance in itself is sacred. But their ambition which led them to leave the class together was a wrong work.
00:30:54 In such society, pupil's group reaction is considered natural.
00:33:11 I think that it's better not to talk. it was good that they didn't rat. To perform team-work maintenance is important in this age. (It could be different in other ages).
00:35:48 The culture was based on training rats and it was started during school-years.
00:37:53 whether it's valuable in crime, sloth and murder as much as in good-work, revolutionary work, and resistance against cruelty?
00:40:07 Although their unity is against our work and sometimes it's necessary for us to be makebat
00:42:13 It's can't be answered whether these pupil's behavior was right or wrong.
00:43:31 We must fairly understand this. To face such mental disease needs educationally precise action.
00:44:46 Everyone has his own taste and procedure. If I were in those pupil's shoes, I wouldn't rat.
