In the movie, I was surprised to find that our childhood was similar to that of the Iranian children: the teacher kept emphasizing discipline and order, and the homework must be written in the workbook, so that the daily homework can be compared with the previous one; the teacher did not come In the classroom, there must be something, everyone should wait quietly in their seats; the teacher allows you to speak before you talk; the last rule is the sect of all laws, you must listen to the teacher's words.
When you come home after school, adults urge you to do your homework quickly, don’t think about going out to play, didn’t the teacher say, finish your homework first, and then put the homework in your school bag, so that you can play casually.
When Ahmed applied to his mother to send Mohammad a workbook, his mother refused. When Ahmed came back from where his classmates lived, his grandfather asked him to bring a cigarette to show his neighbors that he wanted to educate children to obey their elders. Be disciplined.
However, none of the adults heard the words of little Amud. He asked several times, "Are you Mr. Mohammed?" No one paid attention. In the film, the children expressed anxiety, anxiety, and expectation with their eyes... But the adults only Say: child, you listen to me, you listen to me, you have to be disciplined!
Discipline, that's how adults keep their kids around. Adults create discipline that applies to children, and they don't follow it themselves. When the doorman asked Ahmed to tear off the next page of homework paper at the same table, little Ahmed was very embarrassed, with aggrieved and helpless eyes, the homework book could not be torn up, and the teacher said that the homework book should be clean. Parents tell their children that you have to listen to the teacher, but turn around and ignore the children's compliance with "the teacher's words".
That's it, the child's world began to be chaotic, with belief slowly building on one side, and half-finished products being slammed down on the other. When a child understands that the discipline, order, and beliefs of this world can be demolished while building, and rules can be set up for others, but they can climb over the fence themselves, the child grows into an adult, and becomes a maker of rules and disciplines. Adults who educate children.
Little Amud was very aggrieved. He didn't return the book when it was dark. During the day, he was reprimanded by the adults for being disobedient. However, in order to prevent his deskmate from being expelled, Amud could only break one discipline and abide by the other discipline. The child insists on returning the notebook to the same desk, and the homework must be written in the workbook. Most of us were like this when we were young. We regarded certain words as divine edicts, and regarded certain things as big things, and the sky could not collapse.
No one could hear Ahmud's voice, so he would only say to him: "Son, child, listen to me, listen to me."
