...and laziness. But this is also true:

This isn't a perfect school.

...And we aren't perfect teachers.

Maybe we weren't good enough...

...for them. But what about you?

Are you not at all to blame...

...for the poor performance of

your children? Until now...

...have you given them enough

attention? - What are you saying, sir...

...what do you mean to pay attention?

I did everything for him.

Of course. What else should I

have done? He's a grown man. I sent...

...him all the way to Istanbul, to

private schools, spent tons of money...

...with the hope that he would study.

- His friends finished university...

...and he's still crawling through high

school. Still, if he needs clothes, we'll...

...get him the best. If he wants money,

we send it. He doesn't have to ask twice.

My son always stays in class.

I've never hit him even once.

I'll slap him. Sometimes a lot.

But I also love him. He's my son.

I know. Of course you

all love your children.

But that isn't what I meant.

Look back and think about it a bit.

Since elementary school, how involved

were you in your child's education?

Did you ever try to be their friend, to

understand them, their worries, their...

...problems, did you try to help them?

What have you done to help them...

...become good people for their teachers,

or mothers and fathers, that's you...

...in fact, for their country? Did you

remind them of their duties and...

...responsibilities? A child doesn't

learn by being sent to school with...

...a bag, by being given money and

dropped off on the corner. Or rather...

...the parents' job doesn't end here.

That's why, in my opinion, there is...

...no lazy, wrong, or guilty child.

There are wrong and guilty parents.

That's why these report cards are not

for your children but I actually find...

...it more suitable to give them to you.

The grades inside aren't just for...

...their classes but in some sense

they're also your parenting grades.

Before passing out the grades

there is one other important issue.

Your children committed a serious

offense. My friend here will tell you...

...what the offense was what

their punishment will be.

Yes dear.

They are not to

blame for anything.

- What happened in there, dad?

- What else, son? We talked to your...

...teacher and they gave your grades.

- Then did nothing else happen?

- What else would happen?

- Like a punishment or something?

No, son. We were given a lot of advice.

I was thinking about it and

your teacher is right.

Where have I been all these years?

Why haven't I paid attention to you?

- Please, dad.

- No, it's true.

If I had done my job as a dad maybe

things would have turned out differently.

Oh well, it's too late for that.

Watch and see how good

of a dad I'll be for you now.

You acted like a noble teacher, my dear.

Thank you for not deceiving me...

...from what I originally thought about you.

- Thank you. But I didn't do anything.

- I just tried to act like you.

- Ms. Semra.

The Rascals' Class sent you these

roses. They thank you very much.

Teacher, you forgave us, but we

can't forgive ourselves - Rascals' Class

- Mahmut teacher.

- What is it this time?

- We came to say goodbye to you.

- We're leaving the school.

Didn't you hear? Ms. Semra forgave you.

We heard. We decided

on our own to leave.

- Why? - Because, sir, from

the first day, we acted...

...very wrongly and offensively

towards Ms. Semra.

And despite all of that, she

was able to nobly forgive us.

We decided to reciprocate.

Ms. Semra forgave each of us

individually. But not the Rascals' Class.

So we thought the best thing

to give her would be to get rid of...

...the Rascals' Class altogether.

- This is why we're leaving.

- Why don't you say the Rascals'

Class is committing suicide? - Yes, sir.

- Open the door, Mr. Veysel.

- Why am I opening it?

- Why what? We're leaving the school

- Tell that to someone else. I won't.

- Don't do this, Mr. Veysel. We're

leaving. - So did you find another...

...prank to run away from school?

- Then how will we leave?

I don't know. Go get permission

from Mr. Mahmut and I'll open it.

- But Mr. Veysel? - No 'buts.' I won't

let any of you leave...

...without permission from Mr. Mahmut.

- Okay, let's go get permission then.

The bell rang. Didn't you hear it?

You're all late again.

Come on, go to class.
