Yes... We must show

our pride as men.

Everything was peaceful

until they showed up.

All men are the same.

They've got high aspirations

but low enthusiasm.

They'll never make it.

Right! Although I believe that if they

can help really help the students,

then wouldn't it benefit both

the students and the school?

Yes, if they can educate the students

it would be good for the

school. I think it's good.

Either way, the girls must win.

Especially our girls,

because they were born

to succeed. Just like me.

Today we'll have a competition

between the girls and the boys.

Whoever loses

must clean the classroom. OK?

OK then, first question.

Petchara, how many

provinces does Thailand have?

Correct!

Paayap, where does the

name Bangkok come from?

From the Bangkok district!

I didn't say he was correct,

but he's right.

Daoreuang, what's the

population of Thailand?

Correct.

The Pratomrachananusorn Bridge.

The 6th King.

His Excellency Piboon Songkram

Bangkok-Paknam

His Excellency Sarit Thanarat.

Correct.

Supaap, when was Victory

Monument constructed?

I think it was in year 1857, madam.

Am I right?

Correct!

You've answered every

question correctly.

It's a tie. Therefore,

everyone must help clean.

I love you as much as an elephant.

You're very cute.

Ms. Sompat

Oops!

Supaap, wake up.

Is it time to go home?

No, I'm tying to explain

the Kingdom of Ayudhya.

Take notes! The

Governor of Chiang Rai...

How impressive.

The boys and girls are getting

along. They're friends.

Yes. The co-ed school is a success.

The students are all friends,

so how about us?

Read it by candlelight.

Where are you going,

all dressed up like that?

Actually, Mr. Sattawat

asked me to dinner.

Want to come?

No.

Didn't we talk about this?

If we fall in love the

students will copy us.

Do you think the children

will obey us then?

Sompat, you have to

accept it this is my life.

As for being a teacher, that's my job

and I've never failed at my job.

You must be able to separate the two.

Separate them?

Do you remember what

Ms. Bunrod said to us?

When you're a teacher

you're a teacher for life.

If you enter this profession,

you become a role model for children.

I beg you.

Sompat, this is my personal life.

Please let me make my own decisions.

What's wrong?

Isn't the food to your liking?

We can go somewhere else.

Oh, that's OK.

I just keep thinking about

something that happened earlier.

Mr. Luan, Mr. Luan!

Come look, hurry!

Huh? What?

Don't you see?

Mr. Satawat and Ms. Gaysorn.

Oh no!

Mr. Luan.

I think they must

be a couple for sure.

Ahh... Ahh...

I see them.

It's all over.

Mr. Luan.

Let it out.

Let it out, Mr. Luan.

So that tomorrow, you won't

have anymore tears left to show.

So, did you have fun?

Was the food good?

Reasonable.

Next time I'll take

you and Ms. Mali there.

You seem tired. Go take a bath

and then we'll talk about

the annual handicraft fair.

Annual Handicraft Fair 1957

Hey, I want to eat here.

It looks really good.

How much for this, sweetie?

Here's a whole baht.

I want 3 of these.

Hey! Stop it.

Let go!

This way, please.

Hey. The teacher is coming.

The teacher is coming.

Ma'am, I didn't do anything wrong.

Teacher, please help us. Ma'am.

Help us. Please help us Ma'am.

We've come to pay your bail.

Yes! Thank you. Thank you, Ma'am.

They did nothing wrong, so

why should they be suspended

and prohibited to take final exams?

Right or wrong, if students fight

they're considered hooligans.

The government stated

such in statute 11.

The Ministry orders the boys

to forfeit their final exams.

Sompat, I think you

should inform the Ministry.

Yes. Think of the students.

They're our students.

I told you already. I can't

let them take the exam.

I think we should find Mr. Luan.

Sir, I think...

Allow me to decide on this issue.

Yes, sir.

I'll ty to talk to the Ministry.

You don't need to worry,

because these students are mine too.

I feel so bad for them.

I don't understand why

Ms. Sompat won't help them.

She's the head teacher

so why can't she help?

Yeah, I agree.

Ms. Sompat didn't even help us.

If those boys hadn't helped us

then who knows what

would have happened to us.

I know. I agree with you.

Why won't Ms. Sompat help?

Maybe this is beyond her.

I believe Ms. Sompat is scared

she might be responsible,

so she refuses to help.

I really want to know what

her heart is really made of.

Exactly! She's so mean!

I understand you. Rules are rules.

But sometimes we can't

go by the rules.

Those boys are still our students.

They've been barred from

the exams. I can't help them.

Whether you can or

can't isn't important.

What is important is

whether you try or not.

You're doing your job.

As for me and the students,

and the other teachers

we're doing our jobs too.

Our job is as teachers

and as friends,

but I must respect the standards.

Sompat, my friend,

there are no standards.

Friendship doesn't

separate boys from girls.

Friends only know love,

relationships and friendships.

Just like us, sometimes

we don't agree,

but we still love each other,

relate to each other, care

about and look after one another.

Do you think

there are any standards

governing our friendship

preventing us from being best friends

or forcing us to separate?

If we can be best friends,

relate to each other

and care for each other

then kids also have the

right to love one another.

Care for each other

and have relationships.

If you had a group of close friends

and they were drowning

splashing around, unable to breathe

would you and your friends just

sit on the bank singing songs?

Department of Education

There is the heart of a teacher,

even though she comes

across as a monster,

she is still made of solid gold.

People who aren't teachers

won't understand how it feels

to punish a student

and then cry themselves.

They don't get it.

I'm so happy you understand me.

Can you please help?

Yes. I've already sent the names.

Whether the Ministry will

concede or not, I don't know.

I beg you please let the

boys take their final exams.

No matter what happens, I

will take full responsibility,

because everything that

happened is my fault.

I'm the head teacher.

I was involved,

but I couldn't resolve the

situation in a proper manner.

If anyone needs to be

punished, it's me,

not the students.

To gain something, you must

also lose something, Sompat.

I know. Just let the boys

take their exams. I give up.

OK, then. I will report

to the Ministry,

but I don't know the outcome.

Sompat, you're a good

teacher. I'm very proud of you.

Ms. Gaysorn...

We request permission

to enter the exam room.

We thank you very much, Sir.

If it weren't for you, the students

wouldn't have taken their finals.

It wasn't me. I didn't do anything.

The person who did help is leaving us.

Thank you very much, Ma'am.

Get up. Everyone stand up.

Be good.
