Many parents are strongly critical of the school, but almost all times there children
have the fault. Sometimes you have to be less critical and see the reality of the things.
Being so critical could bring some really bad consequences, so if you are critical
be careful.

All the work we do is carefully censor by the school, sometimes I think they don't have to
be that strict. I think you have to censor important things that many people can see not
everything. I would like to censor all the movements of the government to see if it all legal.
