Moral of the story: Always make fun of your teacher. Its brings everyone together. :D
Perhaps you're ri8 in this case
Have mercy on substitute teachers though,
Lol
as a teacher (34 years in), i am willing to take that roll. xo
@@kkeberhard145 :D What a good sport. Always putting the kids first. :)
Dont lie who just randomly watched it

This kind of reminds me of when I was in the 6th grade in 1978 or 1979. We had this mean and very strict teacher. There was a new girl from Vietnam . She was always quiet and very shy. There were 2 kids behind her teasing her. The girl walked to the teachers desk crying - full of tears. The teacher told her to go to the restroom and wash her face. Once the girl left the teacher screamed at the 2 bullies saying "How dare you pick on that poor girl... " She then yelled at all of us about how we should be more welcoming to people from other countries and how many of them have it rough to try to learn a new language and start a new and better life. At the time I didn't put 2 and 2 together to think about the Vietnam war just 4 years from then. Looking back the teacher was strict...but she wasn't mean.
Wow
I think that today the strict no violence policies in many US public school systems are better than we had it in the 60's and 70's. Some teachers would even laugh at the small boys who were mercilessly picked on by boys twice our size.
A few times I had to just give up in massive frustration, and slug a bully hard in the face repeatedly, to make the point that further bullying would have consequences, at least with me. I was smart enough to take action within shouting distance of a teacher (and I didn't always win while sending a clear message), and at least I didn't get in trouble when the bully said I started it, and I pointed out that the bully started it six months or so before.
Finally I had a big growth spurt and lifted weights for two years, effectively ending me being an easy target, but many children aren't so lucky.
I was really impressed with the quiet but effectively and minimally violent way the new boy was able to demonstrate that you do NOT want to escalate violence against him.
And you could see how even with all the evidence, how clueless the teacher was to actually control the bully without clear and uncompromising policies toward bullying.
This is NOT 6th grad or whatever the hell you said there, this is not America, thats all you need to know
@@rogergeyer9851 THIS IS NOT AMERICA ugh, there ARE other places ya know, oh wait, you DON'T KNOW
@@artscafe9371 He never said that it was the sixth grade?
When they threw that milk at Joseph and he flinched, that broke my heart so much that I cried. That poor little sweet child. imagine how SCARY it must be to start a new school (late) and you're THE ONLY person of a different color in that school/class. It just breaks my heart. That boy was adorable and played his part so well.
They have a black girl there, but generally you are right
*coloUr .its better than amerika school
@@notgadot Thanks for pointing out what a dumb AmeriCan i am! I guess you missed the point and only saw your pet peeve. I have them too, but would never point it out if someone was talking about something so emotional. Way to go!
Color is correct for AMERICA. Get off your high horse.
Some of us had that experience, and the teachers were more racist than the children. Children get their perspectives from the views expressed, overt or implied, by the adult world around them.
We all need a Hazel O Hara in our lives
So true

It's beautiful how hazel tries to solve the porblem in the opening scene and ends up solving the whole thing in the end. This deserves all the attention. Such a good representation!
The acting is effortlessly immaculate...and the whole scene is absolutely beautiful...

Why didn't I have a bit of Hazel in me when I was in school

ONE OF THE BOYS SAID “I SAW HER NICKERS” “WHAT COLOUR” “YELLOW!”
Don’t worry. We all had a tiny bit for sure haha 😂
Hi
If i called my teacher a bitch which i probably won't bc they're the best. But yet if i do, i'll be d.e.a.d.
What a great teacher, let them bond together, by making fun of her, keeping Hazel’s tell-tale quiet at the right time.
So you are saying it was not a coincidence? She had it planned out?
I was sad for the new boy, of course, but I'm stricken my how accurate this is when it comes to friendship. Little boys have a knack for "fighting it out" and becoming friends afterwards. It's so interesting.
Unfortunately, that characteristic of boys (and men) is one of the reasons why there is so much strife in the world.
I remember when I first loved to England all the boys bullied me but after a while we became really good friendship
Boys will be boys
Am I the only one who liked the teacher. She wasn't bad. She was trying her best. Hazel thou 😂
She was brilliant. She knew exactly when to press... and precisely when to fold.

This Short film made me cry. This kid had to watch his father die in front of him. Those flashbacks while he was laughing reminded him of his father. This is so eye-catching! I love this so much! Thank you for this short film :D! Please don't give up on the hard work. Appreciate it God bless
Such a special short story. I love how this was not about political agendas or racism in this movie. Beautifully refreshing.
There was a racism, that boy was calling a new kid "live-aid"
Not about racism? What film did you watch?

FRFR.
As children we forget how anyone did wrong to us .. so easily . Both parties forgive each others wrongdoings so easily. I don't know how we lose that as adults.
Sorry, I disagree. To me it seems he was hiding his hurt to try to get them to stop bullying him. And sometimes, what happens to a child can lead to long-term psychological scars that take years/decades of active effort to heal.
Ya we all miss that innocence we had
@@kaylabrand7403 I agree
Our ego grows with age
@@alois_hitler NOT everybody had the chance to have "that innocence" certainly not a child whose father gets killed in front of his very eyes.
Thank you. That wasn't a film; it was an experience i will never forget for so many reasons.
Need this level of confidence in life
8:33 It was a private conversation.
True
Crying and laugh at same time. Especially the part when Joseph smile and remember his father.
I was crying so hard at that part omg he looked so sweer
*sweet
thats deep
Same omg
It's not his father but teacher father I guess ( it's a designation)
Joseph has faced "the worst" in his home country, to move further back he has nothing but the wall. Hence, he handles everything much peacefully, a rugged behavior - only when needed. Great short!
Again
Good

Well said
Big ups to the teacher for recognizing that tensions have eased
No one knows what anyone's shoes feel like or how they got worn unless you walked in them.. These short films I have recently discovered and are brilliantly done

Even after 13 years this leaves a smile, never ever failed.
I dont know if this is the best short i ever watched, but for sure it was the most potent one, and most complete one. Like i can talk about what happened in this story for an hour and it is shown in 10 minutes, masterful story telling.
Also i cry as a baby every time i see it
This made me think on when in 1965 I was the only black boy in a private boys school I was bullied. Became school fencing champion and found the connection between boxing and fencing. My best friend from school and I still talk at least once a month.
Glad you still have your friends.
Went to a small parochial school. All white. When I was in 8th grade we finally got our first black student. He was quite popular. He must have had a field day. We all wanted to hang out with him because he was 'different', and he was very nice.

Brilliantly done. Tackles a heartbreaking story with humour that connects us all. Hazel is a peach, perfect little actress, well casted production.
When I was in my society I felt happy and was friends with my classmates too. Since I am in France , I don’t talk to my classmates , I feel isolated , I am stressed bcz of the language barrier and I don’t look happy. Watching this movie it reminds me about how I feel. I am afraid I will never fit in..
I'm 11 years late I assume but a masterpiece doesn't age.

The story shows that good always wins over bad. The new boy displayed patience, humility and a great sense of maturity despite the attacks of the other classmates.
Then again, he did attack the student. Good does win on this story, but his actions weren't the mature.

Everything is so well done, the shots, right from the beginning with a focus on the new kid's neck, beautifully filmed. The timing of the 2 separate blasts is creative. Hollywood could learn from this. The script is great, not overdone unlike mainstream. The actors finish it off well. The details make it worth re-watching. Top notch.
the little boy in the role of Christian, looks vaguely like the one in "Billy Elliott". Is he? I wonder when this video was made.

I live in Ireland and went to school at junior infants {2017} to 4th class {2023} and ive had fun in school made friends learned new things but I cant belive this is how irish school were 13 years ago no board like the one that uses internet no tracksuit no compputer it looked very diffrent!
This is such a beautiful short film, wonderfully acted. I see no reason that it shouldn't depict the reality of school life. However it is complex and shows things I am only just starting to understand.
This shows how diffrent the contries are compared to eachother.
It’s not countries,it’s different cultures,different races and different looks.The world hasn’t moved on and accepted people for who they are.
It really points up how seriously children in under developed countries take the opportunity for a good education and how flippant children in first world countries treat it. Perhaps we should seriously consider eliminating free education.

This video just brought me back to 2002. My family and i migrated to the U.S, i was just 7 years old. Language was a huge learning barrier and bullying and discrimination made me hate school. The teacher that till this day i remember, discriminated me and punished me everyday for not participating in class. which was hard for me since everyone bullied me since my speaking abilities were very poor. Although these memories never fade i can tell you this; all of these series of events build you to be the one who stands up for those in need... Deployed in African territory: Democratic Republic of Congo in the name of peace Salutes.
