From the character setting, the character "Good Teacher" can be seen that he supports the resistance of the children, but his foolish and dismissive attitude from beginning to end shows that he does not have the power to save and liberate children and Ability, his existence has no meaning of resistance, maybe it just expresses an angry joke from the director: There is no serious person in this society for adults?
