  4. What a fuck, teacher!!! but, let's go..

    1. In my case, I have a good relation with my teachers, all of them are also my friends.. but, sometimes this relation can be awful depending of the comprehension of the teacher and the respect of the students towards the teacher..

    2. In general, we have poor school systems in Brazil, because of the lack of investments in education.. but we also have some really good schools that does a lot of things for their students..

    3. Of course yes, they can give tips for the teachers of how call the attention of their children, what is the difficulty of their children, and other things..

    4. The video present the students like a group of children that hates the school and does everything to disturb the teacher..

    5. In this case there’s no interaction between them! The teacher is completely unknown by the students and they just make a mess..

    6. Because he hates the school and the teacher :x

    7. They cheat because some of them don’t study, so the only solution is to cheat if they don’t want to flunk.. I can’t answer this second question =P

    8. An unfriendly relation.. Parents think that the bad notes of their children is the teacher’s fault, and we all know that in general it isn’t..

    9. That bomb shows the love of the students for their school kkk

    10. I think that this improvement start with the parents of these students and with a big investment of the government on education..

    That’s it ;)

  7. Hi teacher, let's go...

    1. I think, today the students don't respect their teachers. This situation cause a bad quality of our education today.

    2. We have two realities in Brazil: the public education and private education. The both are complete opposite. In public education we have several problems that are not limited just to school. There are a number of social problems behind this poor quality of education. And, talking about private education, I think with that we still have a little of quality.

    3. Sure, I think the most of problems we have at schools beginning at home. I believe that the base of any society is education, which begins at home, the school just can help.

    4. The video presents the students how children that don't respect the teacher and don't like to study.

    5. The teacher makes a fool of himself, trying to teach anything for that guys, who don't want to learn anything.

    6. Because he doesn't like to study and he needs pick up the attention for him every time.

    7. They cheat during the tests because they don't study and don't pay attention at the class, this is the just way for they do their tests.

    8. I think they don't have relation.

    9. I believe that was the way to represent where all this mess will be come..

    10. Like said the singer.. "The solution is rent the Brazil" hahha I'm kidding teacher!
    I really hope that our political can stop with all this corruption and can invest in our education. I think this is the only way to save our education and our country.

    Done, teacher..
    :)
    kisses

  8. 1- Today teachers are facing a lot of difficulties to deal with their students, because in most of cases they don't demonstrate respect even to their friends and aren't interested about studying.

    2- The school system have passed through changes, but the authority of the teachers that should stay stronger is going away with this changes.

    3- Certainly the parents can help teachers, by monitoring their children with the studies and teaching them about the importance of respect and education.

    4- The video presents the students like rude children, don't interested about study and forced to go to school.

    5- The teacher can't perform his job because of the uncontrolled class, resulting in no interaction with the students.

    6- Because he doesn't know how to follow the rules, what probably comes from the bad education at home.

    7- They cheat because don't have the habit of studying, so without cheating they have no chances of get a good grade.

    8- The parents can be considered the main responsible for the acts of students, because they blame teachers for the mistakes of their children.

    9- The bomb represents how the school is vulnerable to the disinterest of their students.

    10- To improve education quality in our country is necessary to give the most government assistance to schools, and that the society work together to organize classes more interesting.

  9. 1-Today teachers face the challenge not only to teach but even to educade the students, and it's a hard work since students are not interesting in classes and are very impolites at school difficulting the teachers work and their learning.

    2- I thing there are so many problems in the System, one of the are the critical situation of public schools in witch don't have even structure to support the students , another problem in general with schools are the small salary for the employees.

    3- Of course, is esencial for the academic life of the students the presence of parents, to monitor their children and teach about the importance of the school, the teachers and respect.

    4- The video present students who are not interested in classes , very impolite, that are required to go to school, and do not behave like correct students.

    5- The teacher try so many times to get the attention of the students , trying to be severe some times but don't sucessfully, resulting in no good interaction with them.

    6- Because he don't know how to respect rules, and wants to do what he think is fun, hating the school and the necessary of going.

    7- Cause they didn't study and needs a good grade to pass, going to school just to got this grade and pass to next year. They do this looking in the text of another person , with pieces of paper, etc.

    8- Most of the students have they parents super protecting them, that is the villain of being a good student. The parents advocate their children even if they are wrong then getting out the authority of the teacher.

    9- It shows how long are going the disrespect of the students , how danger it can became and the necessary of soluctions.

    10- I thing first the governament should improve good conditions of study and good sallary for the workers, investing in the quality of the education, in good materials , incentive for student, involving the parents in the academic life of their children, and motivating the teachers with good conditions to work too.

  10. 1- Today the relation between teachers and students depends on, because there are very students that are very impolite and believe that s/he is the “boss” of everything. However, there are teachers that seems don’t like to be teacher, and are extremally impolite too. But, in general I think that the relation is good, at least my relation with my teachers.
    2- I like the system of the schools. But, of course that can be better. I think that when teachers do somethings diferentelly, the students pay more attention and because of that learn more.
    3- Parents can help the teacher,and I know that whith experience by myself, haha. My parents always stay beside my teachers, and that makes me think two times before do somethig… diferentelly that people that the parents always stay besides theys, they think that always are correctaly.
    4- The video represent that student that not respect the teachers, and don’t like to study.
    5- The teacher do everything to the students, but they don’t want know this, and just make mess.
    6- Because they don’t like to study, don’t like to go to school and don’t like teacher neither.
    7- The students cheat during the test because they don’t pay attention to the class, not study, and in time of test want got a good grate, or cheat during the test to exchange informations to the friends *-* HAHA
    8- In the video the relation of teachers and parents is no good, because parents believes that que student don’t go well in school because of the teacher.
    9- Is to show what happends to students that not study and don’t pay attention to the class.
    10- I think that first the students that want to learn and have “força de vontade”. After, one help of the government will be very good too. Help for hiring a good teachers, and buy a good material to study. Investing on the food and the structure the school is very good, because study with hungry and sweating it’s very bad :/
    that's all :D
    kisses...

  11. sorry teacher i'm late...busy days...and i work better at night...so i hope it still worth:

    1 - Nowadays it is a distant relation, and both of them are responsible for this situation. The students lost the interest in the school, and because of this, they have an inappropriate behavior in the classroom. In the other side, the teachers have the difficult work to bring the students attention to the content, and many times they aren’t prepared to handle with this bad behavior. That’s why the relation becomes distant today.

    2 - Here, in our country, I don’t have an impression about school system. I have convictions. We have a very poor system education because of the government disinterest. We just hear promises but not actions. The law is beautiful, but not efficient. Unfortunately this is a big problem involving the whole population, and it is common children stop studying to help his family working.

    3 - I believe in it. Parents have responsibilities with their kids, and if they give the basic education like politeness, it is a big help to any teacher. Of course, monitor their studies, pay attention in their grades, go to school reunions it is always a good thing.

    4 - The video presents disinterested, impolite and inconsequential students.

    5 - Actually there isn’t a real interaction in the relation “teacher-student” in the video. We can realize the teacher try so many times call the students attention, but all the attempts failed.

    6 - Because he is like many kids in his age, he is disinterested in the study, he prefer play with his friends instead of go to school, because he thinks he is losing his time there.

    7 - Most cases the students cheat because they simply didn’t study for the test. But there are situations they didn’t have enough time to study, or they studied but got to nervous that forgot something. To do it, they write the content in little pieces of paper, or look at a classmate’s test. In a nutshell, they use clever ways to cheat during a test.

    8 - According to the video, this relation is almost nothing. Considering something, the parents go to school to blame the teacher for the bad grade and behavior of their kids.

    9 - The bomb is a funny and exaggerated way to represent the student’s lack of commitment with the school and study, as well the teacher’s lack of control with this kind of student.

    10 - We need a serious plan to change not only the education in Brazil, but the whole system, because it’s everything interconnected. It won’t be easily solved, especially with the current government situation, but the first step is up to us, selecting people who are really interested to improve de education quality in our country and the other needs too.

  13. 1- The relationship between a teacher and his/her student is like an ecological chain - the snake and the eagle. Who si who? Well, let's pretend both take part in both animals.
    2- Something Brazil's got to improve a lot is the public school system. Not only public ones, but MEC's got to care for the education given in either public or particular High Schools, because there are non-prepared teachers and a lack of attention to news. (OMFG, I wanna die, my neighbor is listening to "Baby"... Who here wants to kill Justin Bieber instead of me?)
    3- Parents can help teachers educating their children at home, so that they won't behave badly at school.
    4- The video is showing the image that the students don't to like to go to school and if they go, it comes to a playground for them.
    5- The students don't care for the taecher, they don't pay attention when the teacher is teaching them, they do not respect him and tell jokes about him. There are even some students that say bad things about their teacher to their parents in order to make them go to school and argue with the teacher.
    6- John tried to skip class early because he wanted to do anything ( he was goin to fish) but studying. He hates school and wants to destroy it.
    7- They cheat because they don't pay attention to teacher Goofy's classes and they don' t want to flunk on the subject. So one of them cheat from the teacher when he's not looking, another from this one and so on, until everyone has the answers.
    8- The video is presenting the idea that parents just believe in what their children say. So if they say bad things about the teacher, their parents go there in order no to discuss the point with him, but to argue.
    9- The bomb is the grenade John took to school to destroy it - because he hates the place and the teacher. This bomb may be a metaphore for the teacher's end of the day - he doesn't rest until he sleeps.
    10- I believe that if the government paid more attention to education in our country, we'd have better healthy average, better development, better financial ratios and a better place to live. The first thing we receive education is from our parents at home, but then the government should pick up more especialized professiionals to teach people at schools and be more strict in vestibulars, ENEM and other test ( including those given at school).
