I don't know if they are overly optimistic, they are not too worried about their son. And still joking.
2. When my mother got him back, she said that I didn't care about his grades anymore. As long as he was good, his attitude towards him changed greatly when he returned home, and he encouraged him to learn French well. Some said it was just to keep him from telling his stepfather about his mother's affair. However, thinking about it carefully, in fact, she still cares about her son. The encouragement to him actually worked. Of course, it was finally shattered by the cold water of the teacher.
3. The stepfather was told by the company's security guard that his son had stolen a typewriter, and he was directly sent to the police station after being angry. It is incomprehensible that he is not his own son. It reminds me of the story of Washington. It’s a story about admitting mistakes and getting praise after cutting down trees. Although Anthony still had the typewriter as he said to the doctor in his heart, because it couldn't be sold, and he didn't know why he returned it, maybe he was afraid. But I think there must be some intention to salvage mistakes. Why deal with this problem so radically?
Just like the teacher's indiscriminate behavior at the beginning of the movie, the stepfather didn't want to understand the whole incident, and he didn't even want to help his son at all.
Is it intolerable? It is probably still a matter of education, just like the name of the movie, Four Hundred Strikes: Disobedient children will become good children after 400 hits. Reminds me of a question I saw today: before hitting a child, ask yourself 6 questions:
1. If the child has the ability to fight back, would you still hit him?
2. If your relatives or friends don't listen to you, will you fight?
3. If your child's mistakes were your own responsibility, would you fight?
4. Are you leading by example?
5. Have you considered the problem from the standpoint of your child?
6. Do you really have no other choice other than "poisoning your hands"?
