Baan Gaeng Wittaya School

Hey that is for kids, why are you playing on it?

It will break.

You should come up here.

We are teachers.

We need to set an example.

As the principal I think you are taking this too far.

You judge me to be a bad teacher

because of this petty matter.

You used to be a wrestler?

Yes.

Shouldn't you spend time on more important matters

than what is going on underneath my clothes?

In this photo

I look like I'm going to lose

but after I psyched myself up

I was able to make a comeback and win.

Get that tattoo removed now.

I can't do that.

Yes, you will. - No, I won't.

Right now our P.E. teaching position has been filled.

I can be a teaching assistant.

I can do arts and crafts.

Photo copying, sending faxes. I will do anything.

If you don't remove it,

I will move you to our houseboat school.

Can you swim?

Just give me 2 days notice

so I have time to pack my bags.

Are you OK, Gigi?

This is a breeze, Ann.

In the past I went to a retreat

I had to ride a wagon to get to the village.

This is just a walk in the park.

Mae Ping Dam

We are at the end of the dam's road.

You have to continue on by boat.

Where are you from?

Chiang Mai.

You have a wife?

Only a girlfriend.

Have you slept with her yet?

What!?

Mrs? - Yes?

Is there no cell phone signal around here?

It's hard to say.

On a clear day you have signal.

But I don't know how many clear days we have in one year.

You are funny.

So have you slept with her yet?

Stop it.

Huh?

Stop it.

Stop the boat?

Stop talking please!

Fine.

Miss

We are here. This is the school.

Baan Gaeng Wittaya, Houseboat branch.

So refreshing.

Let's take a picture together. For keepsake.

64 You packed a lot.

Only the necessities.

Ann

Yeah?

I'll let you keep it.

Our first picture here together.

Together, you say?

Yeah, together.

2012

Class, write down the date in your notebook

and take out your Thai language textbooks.

Class,

write down the date in your notebook

and take out your Thai language textbooks!

Hey, no talking.

I'll smack you.

Oh shit!

Die! Die! Die! Die!

16 May 2011

The first day of my exile

I understood how Dae Jang Geum felt

when she got exiled to Jeju island.

No wonder everyone is scared shitless

whenever the principal threatens to transfer someone here.

This is the middle of nowhere.

If I die here,

I'll probably be reincarnated before anyone finds my body.

Huh?

The Teacher's Diary

Where is everybody?

Nobody wants to study?

School is open!

The water is not running?

Nope.

Use your hand and hit it

to knock the grime out.

Anything fall out?

It's still clogged.

What's stuck in there?

Stick your finger in there.

Deeper.

Anything fall out?

I can feel something in there.

Gigi a lizard fell down by your foot.

I'm OK. I'm fine.

Not sure if I will make it.

There is no running water.

What's that on your arm?

Before I went in the water my arm was fine.

There is no electricity.

When you get to shore please call this number.

Tell the person I arrived safely.

The second you arrive, you report to your boyfriend.

What is a cell phone signal?

I don't have a clue.

I miss Nui.

Shit.

Hey there!

Over here! Come this way.

Hello.

Do you know any of the kids who study here?

Are you the new teacher?

Yes.

My name is Song (Two)

Mrs. Where are all the students?

Do the students even know that a teacher has arrived?

Oh!

Your teacher is here!

Your teacher is here!

Your teacher is here!

Here. Got a kid here.

Let's go to school!

He looks like he loves school.

The teacher is here. Time to go.

Come with me.

Go now.

The school is open.

All you parents who have kids, school is open.

School is open!

I've rounded up one student already.

Thai National Anthem

Good morning teacher.

Ann, we only have 7 kids.

How are we going to divide them up?

Gigi, you will look after the younger ones.

The rest I will take care of.

Alright then.

Hello class.

My name is Ann... A

Do we have to strike a pose?

Yes, kids remember big gestures better.

My name is...

Gigi.

Stop stop giggling.

Stop.

Gigi.

Now Ms. Ann will take it from here.

OK now class.

I want everyone to introduce yourselves

by striking a pose.

Who should go first?

The little one, you go first.

My name is Muek (Squid). I am in 1st grade.

What's with the pose?

You must have a pose to help you remember.

OK.

My name is Tong (Gold)

I'm in 2nd grade.

My name is Tuna.

I'm in 3rd grade. I want to be a star.

You want to be star?

What kinds of roles can you play?

I can play any role.

Grieving girlfriend.

Your dog died.

Grieving girlfriend.

Your dog died.

Grieving girlfriend.

Your dog died.

Grieving girlfriend.

If I have kids, I won't let them watch television.

My name is Gao (Awesome).

I am in 4th grade.

Your turn. Your turn.

It's your turn.

My name...

Song (Two).

Let's get back to studying.

Is Ms. Ann coming too?

She isn't coming. It's just going to be me.

So everyone is in different grades?

Can you recite the alphabet for me?

A for apple.

B for bird.

'Luang', is what color in English? - Yellow.

'Nam-ngern' - Blue.

'Dum'

Dumber.

Please complete these compound words.

For example: 'kind' plus 'hearted'

makes 'kindhearted'. Okay?

Okay.

Will? - Will Smith.

Wrong - Will-i-am?

Willpower, boy!

37 + 25 equals?

Equals...

12345

Genial - That's nasty.

Not 'genital', it's 'genial'.

What?

But when I see my mom's genital

I am always shocked.

E for egg.

12131415

F for fish, so darn expensive!

27, 28, 29, 30

G is for...

G is for The Gong show.

Strike the gong and you're gone.

Start from the top.

A for apple.

I am hungry.

I'm hungry too.

I want chicken basil for lunch.

Pork omelet is better.

Pork omelet.

That's enough. The oldest one gets to choose!

I want some sausages.

No! Let's play rock paper scissors.

Come on.

Go Tuna!

Stop!

Everyone back to your seats.

And work on your assignments.

I need to make a phone call. I'll be back.

Mr. Song, let's go back.

This is our 3rd round and our gas is running low.

Mr. Song

Hey!

What are you guys doing over there?

Don't even

Who gave you permission to play in the water? Come up now!

Don't misbehave for no good reason.

What if one of you were to drown?

Do I have to keep an eye on you all the time?

We all know how to swim already.

What if you got a cramp?

No way. We've been swimming since the day we were born.

Don't argue.

Give me 20 squat jumps.

I don't know how to do that. What is it?

Watch me.

Your Scotch-Brites jumps look funny.

What kind of exercise is that?

Open your hand.

Give me your hand.

So you're not going to open your hand?

Ouch. Why did you cane me?

I was with you on the boat.

Don't make excuses.

Everyone else, give me your hands.

Miss Ann never hit us.

Where is she now?

You always talk about her. Miss Ann. Miss Ann.

If you don't want me to teach you, tell me. And I will go.

Just go then.

Whose girlfriend is this, washed our bike so clean?

And whose boyfriend is this, never washes our bike?

Come here you.

My name is Song (Two) so I have to do everything twice.

Like hugging you twice.

Or wiping you twice.

Yeah TGIF, let's go home!

Goodbye.

OK.

Goodbye.

See you Monday.

See you.

My gosh

how could you wait for a week?

Should I just cut it off?

Huh?!

Doctor

can you examine her arm and give us a diagnosis?

Take it easy.

I am the patient here.

Let me have a look.

This rash is an allergic reaction to the water.

Take some meds and cream. The rash should go away.

You get better and then what?

When you go back, you will get it again.

I have a girlfriend

but I only get to see you twice a week.

I have to commute 6 hours to see you.

You barely know how to swim yet you insist on staying.

If anything were to happen to you

it would take at least a week before I would find out.

What do you want me do?

Just transfer back.

You know that's not possible.

Why not?

That tattoo of yours

I told you not to get one but you never listen.

You just want to prove to the principal you are right.

Being in the middle of nowhere

teaching 4 to 5 kids, is it worth it?

It's 7

7 kids.

You are a teacher too

so how can you ask me, "is it worth it"?

And "I told you so"

can you stop saying that?

I've heard it for 10 years now. I'm sick of it.

I'm sick of this too.

I also hate having to repeat myself.

Let's break up then. Nobody asked you to put up with me.

There you go again

Every time we fight you dare me to breakup.

You want to breakup so you moved to the houseboat?

If you really think that way then just go.

I have to hang up now.

Since when?

I've only been gone for less than a week.

1 week or 1 year isn't the point.

It's like you live day to day.

Do you ever think about our future?

If I don't think about it

why would I take this job so far away?!

A job?

You call that a job?

You're not even a fulltime teacher yet.

Next year you don't even know if you still have a job.

And my motorcycle?

How could you let someone else ride it?

Why are men so dumb?

If you really think that way then just go.

Don't you know?

When a girl dares you to breakup all the time

it just means they want you to give in.

Let's see

if I can't live without a boyfriend!

Don't tell me what to do!

13 years is trashed in 1 week.

Life is funny

S.O.B

S.O.B

S.O.B (School of Broken-Hearts)

School of Broken-Hearts

Will you be OK Ann?

It's life.

Lonely

Life...

when it sucks, it really sucks hard.

17 - 4 equals.

Gigi, what's wrong? What's the matter Gigi?

Inside the restroom.

Ghost.

This school is haunted.

I'm leaving.

Stay calm.

Ms. Ann, arm arm.

What's wrong with my arm?

The dead body's arm.

During the rainy season

we always have some deaths.

What were you thinking pulling the body out yourself?

Weren't you afraid?

I wasn't trying to be a Baywatch babe

but it would take time to get a boat to get you

and come back here

these kids would be scared stiff.

Gigi

where are you going?

Let's go Ann.

I already packed all our stuff.

You are going to just pick up and leave?

Give me a good reason to stay.

The other night it was lizards in our water.

Now we have a dead body.

What else must we endure?

But if we go

the principal will close this place.

So what?

Whatever, I'm leaving.

Being a teacher

isn't only about A, B, Cs and 1,2,3s

Who would have thought

a 3-star tattoo would have brought me this far?

Never give up!

Ms. Ann can I sleep with you, I'm scared of ghosts.

Who would have thought a 3-star tattoo

would have brought me this far?

Just give me the bag before it falls in the water.

Didn't we breakup already?

How is your rash?

Why do you ask?

Didn't we breakup already?

It's really sadistic of you

making me worry about you so much.

I told you I can stay here. You didn't believe me.

So have you made up your mind?

Think carefully can you really stay here?

Honestly

At first I just wanted to prove that I was right.

But now I know I can't abandon my students.

If that's the case then please take good care of yourself.

If you can't take it, don't force yourself.

Just come back right away. Can you promise me that?

Why are you giving in this time?

If I don't give in then you will dare me to break up again.

How about this?

Monday-Friday, I will take care of myself.

Weekends, you can look after me, sound good?

But I'm really lonely.

Come on, a little distance is good.

So when we are together we will still miss each other.

From this day forward

even though I must teach by myself

I will do my best to teach them.

Whoever finishes first with the right answer will get stars.

Not yet.

Ready?

123 go!

I'm done. - Give me your wrist.

Very good.

Whoever finishes last

won't get a star. Got it?

Muek you can sit this one out.

Muek come and review the alphabet with me.

A is

for apple.

B is for bird.

In a nest.

C is for...

Snake!

No C is for cat.

Snake!

How can it be snake?

C is for cat.

Snake!

A Snake!!

Mr. Song help.

It's going to bite me.

Mr. Song help!

Hurry up! Help!

Mr. Song, snake!

It's going to bite me.

Mr. Song be careful!

Mr. Song, hit it!

Mr. Song. Go! Go!

I got bitten by the snake.

Make a tourniquet.

A tourniquet.

Mr. Song. Hang in there.

My vision is getting blurry.

What's wrong with you?

I'm getting sleepy.

Slap me now.

Take me to the hospital.

Let's go. Lift.

It's not a snake bite.

Give me back my shirt.

Help me please.

I'm going to faint. Take me to the hospital.

Mr. Song.

Show me your cast.

What are you doing?

I want to write something too.

Mr. Song is cool.

Add some soy sauce too.

Mr. Song

I need some light.

Go ahead and eat.

I can't find the lime.

Muek don't eat the raw egg-yolk. You'll get diarrhea.

I can't see.

I need some light.

Muek, taste this.

Can I have some too?

Rock Paper Scissors first.

Rock Paper Scissors.

Ann

I have a fun assignment for you all.

I want you to look for stuff that other people left them here.

It can be anything that was left by accident.

Find it for me.

Muek one book at a time.

Whoever finds the most stuff

is the

winner.

Oh man.

I don't want to play this.

Whose top is this?

This is my mom's. I've been looking for it.

Why would your mom take off her clothes around here?

A picture of Ms. Ann.

Where?

This is Ms. Ann?

No.

This is Ms. Gigi.

But the arm is Ms. Ann's. I remember the star tattoo.

Today we will be doing some arts and crafts.

The assignment is for everyone to draw a picture of Ms. Ann.

Why do we have to draw Ms. Ann?

Because all of you all know Ms. Ann.

I want to see if all of you remember what Ms. Ann looks like.

I see.

Muek is this Ms. Ann, really?

Yes.

Mr. Song. Ms. Ann is here.

Ms. Ann.

Ahh!

Shit!

Mr. Song, hurry. A storm is coming.

Mr. Song.

Hurry up! The storm is coming.

Everyone go take shelter inside.

Close the windows now.

Come on everyone.

Everyone close the windows. Hurry.

Mr. Song, I'm scared.

I'm scared.

Mr. Song, I want to go home.

Never give up!

Never give up!

The swimming pool here

is the biggest one in the world

but I don't want to swim alone.

Bring it up.

Higher.

Lonely.

Lonely.

I'm lonely too.

Very good.

Thank you.

You OK there, Chon?

Come here. Let's work it out together.

Watch.

The problem says the father is 20 years older than his kid.

And the father is 3 times older than his kid.

The problem asks to find out how old is the father?

Watch.

You substitute X for kid's age, right?

"More than" means to add.

And the father is 3 times older than his kid.

3 times is 3X because it is 3 times X

Now move our variables over. From plus change to minus.

Now we have 3X - X

3X minus 1X you are left with?

555 2X

After that

take 20 and divided by 2

and make it equal to X

20 divided by 2

is 10.

So the answer is

563 Very good.

I don't like math. Is it OK if I don't study this?

Not to learn math?

How can you ever become a doctor or an engineer then?

I don't want to be either of them.

What do you want to do?

I want to catch fish.

Seriously?

Yeah, my dad fishes. My grandpa fished.

Chon,

there are so many things that you can do.

You are still a kid so you have lots of time to think about it.

Come on. Help me clean the blackboard.

Chon, can you do one thing for me?

No matter what happens

don't quit school.

It's the only thing I ask.

Uh huh.

You promise?

Yeah.

1st Semester Final Exams

Chon

Why didn't you show up for your exams?

Remember what you promised.

I'm the one who didn't let him go today.

His older brother had to take a delivery job in the city.

I had no other help.

But today was his 1st semester final exams

If he doesn't take his exams

he won't graduate elementary school.

He won't be able to further his education anywhere.

It will be OK.

No, it's not OK.

You really want your son catching fish for the rest of his life?

Ms. Ann.

If I don't go out and fish, how will I feed my family?

I understand you have to feed your family

but if a kid wants to go to school

that should be his right to do so.

You are ruining his chance. - Ms. Ann.

And about fishing. - Ms. Ann!

Stop it.

I won't go to school anymore.

I want to be with my dad.

I want to help my dad fish.

Kids come here.

Kids gather around.

Come closer.

I want to ask you something.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I want to be a star.

Come on. Stop messing around.

Seriously, what do you want to be when you grow up?

A fisherman, I guess.

I'm good at it.

I'm better.

Why should I feel disappointed?

If the kids don't want to study further.

I'm hired to teach. So just teach then.

They are just students. Why should I care?

Hello there.

Is this Chon's house?

Yes, it is.

What's the matter?

I want to properly introduce myself. - Hello there.

My name is Song. I am the teacher at the houseboat.

I am here to ask Chon to come back to school.

Chon, come with me to class.

You can come back later to help your dad.

This way nobody will be able to cheat you.

He hasn't been to class for over a year.

No one will take him back.

No need to worry. I know the principal.

We are close like family.

I am the principal's favorite teacher.

If he goes to school, who will help me fishing?

I will help you. No need to worry about that.

When it comes to fishing I'm your man.

I will help you fish every weekend.

So on the weekends you won't go home then?

No need to worry about that. No problem.

Even better.

I will save money because I won't need to rent a room.

Come on.

Let's catch some fish. - What's the hurry?

There are no fish here.

Way over there. Come on out.

I'll take you fishing over there

at the foot of that mountain.

The father is 20 years old

and is 3 times older than his kid.

One more time.

Ms. Ann taught me this already.

But I can't remember how to solve it.

OK, watch.

3 times older than his kid.

The father is 20 years older than his kid.

X times the age, right?

Then move the variables over. Turn it into a fraction.

3 = X + 20 over X

X cancels X. I can cross them out.

Here's your answer.

It's easy.

Cool right?

How come 3 equals to 20?

1st Semester Final Exams

You are doing worse than I thought.

You have to try harder.

Your contract is only for 1 year.

If your 2nd semester scores don't improve

I can't renew your contract.

Sir,

Ms. Ann

who used to teach at the houseboat.

Where is she now?

Oh.

She is getting married.

So she transferred to teach with her boyfriend in Chiang Mai.

That's why I hired you to take her place.

How lame. Who proposes like that?

Ann, do you want to teach here?

There are a lot of kids over here.

Right here you also have someone who wants you.

I don't want to miss you for 5 days out of the week anymore.

I think we should...

Hey, that's enough.

I thought you wanted to wait to be principal

and have a house first.

Being close to you means more to me.

So?

Fine.

Really?

(Are you deaf?)

Everyone listen carefully.

I want you to lift your friend up.

Ready?

OK, ready to lift him up? 123 Lift!

I can't lift him up.

Too heavy right?

All of you saw he was too heavy.

OK, both of you get in the water. Get up.

Get in the water. Hurry up. In the water.

OK class now we will see if trying to pick someone up in water

makes any difference.

Pay attention.

OK. Lift!

Did you see that?

He can lift his friend up in water

because water displaces his weight.

This is called buoyancy.

Everybody understand? - Ms. Ann.

Can we have a word with you?

OK guys come up from the pool and wipe yourself dry.

You don't want to get sick.

Ms. Ann why do you let those students in the pool?

If any of them drown who will take responsibility?

Assistant Principal, this isn't the first time.

I've warned her many times but Ms. Ann doesn't listen.

This is science class.

The students need 1st hand experience to understand.

I used to teach science

and I didn't have to teach them like this.

The students were able to understand just fine.

The method of rote memorization

isn't the same as understanding.

Ms. Ann.

Every teacher has their own methods they use to teach.

If I think a certain method helps my students to understand

I will use it.

Assistant Principal, sort out this matter please.

This has nothing to do with who I am. - Enough.

But I... - Enough. I've made my decision.

Ms. Ann.

You are barred from letting your students in the pool.

Come on Ann, work is work.

Don't mix it with personal matters.

Your promotion couldn't have come at a worse time.

You don't know Ms. Phut has it in for me.

You have to adjust too.

Don't you think I am trying?

See you wanted me to remove it and I did.

How much do I need to change

for you to be satisfied?

It's not about me being satisfied.

You need to understand that this isn't a houseboat school.

We have rules and regulations.

I will be honest.

I feel out of place here

Nui,

I know you had to pull a lot of strings to have me here to teach.

But to tell you the truth

I rather go back and teach at the houseboat.

This way we wouldn't have to fight like this.

I'm fed up.

You can't be like that.

3 months from now we are getting married.

I feel like

my heart is breaking.

And I also lost my best friend at the same time.

Class your assignment is for you to complete at home.

Right now take out your workbooks.

No yawning.

Open to page 44.

In the back, no talking.

Let me see if you are on the correct page. Page 44.

Who's that? - Did anyone forget the workbook?

Ann.

Ann.

Ann.

Ann.

Ann.

Ann.

Please hear me out.

I know I messed up.

I am sorry.

I didn't mean to Ann.

Please try to understand.

Ann.

It was just 1 night.

Ann.

Ann.

Ann please talk to me.

Please don't walk away from me. Look at me please.

Let go, Nui.

I love you Ann. I've never loved anyone like I love you.

Ann.

I know I messed up.

I was lonely.

Please talk to me at least.

If she didn't get pregnant,

would you tell me?

Ann.

Ann.

Ann.

February 2013

March 2013

I...

resigned from Mon Fah already.

If you don't mind sir,

I would like to go teach at the houseboat again.

Not at all.

I'm actually happy.

The teacher there right now isn't doing very well.

At the end of this year he's got to go.

If you're coming back then

next year I'll have nothing to worry about.

Thank you sir for giving me another chance.

Good teachers are always in demand.

Sir,

I would like to apologize

for my misbehavior in the past.

That little matter has long been forgotten.

Thank you.

Dad, bye.

Muek, did you memorize all your alphabets yet?

Sort of. - 2nd grade now

I won't have time to help you.

Ms. Ann.

Hi.

I missed you.

You've been gone for 1 year.

How is everyone?

Wow, everyone's grown up a lot.

The principal wanted to give you this new generator to use.

In a week or two

a handy man will be over to connect some lights.

OK.

Do you know why the school looks like this?

There was a storm.

It's good that Mr. Song was able to repair most of the damage.

Where do you want this?

You are almost as tall as me now.

I hope not. I don't want to be short.

You decided to come back to study?

Last semester

Mr. Song helped my dad fish every weekend.

In return he asked my dad

if I could come back to finish 6th grade.

And is studying what you really want too?

Mr. Song said it is good to learn a lot

so that nobody can cheat me.

You can go.

Ann

Song

Tuna, 4 times 5 equals?

849 Correct.

Next. 5 times 7

852 Is that correct? - 35 is correct

35 okay.

Try 4 times 8.

Ms. Ann, there is a letter for you.

Your boyfriend?

Recite your multiplication tables up to 12

and then do it backwards.

Nui

S.O.B.

I feel like my heart is breaking.

I feel like

my heart is breaking

and I also lost my best friend at the same time.

She is getting married.

When I heard the news about Ms. Ann from the principal

I felt like I was body slammed and was counted out.

We are both members of the school.

School of Broken-Hearts.

Ms. Ann, you don't know me.

But when I got my heart broken

I jumped in the water just like you.

For the past 6 months

my life was all about the students,

the school, the river

and...

and...

thinking of Ms. Ann.

Today is Loy Krathong Day.

I went and floated my Krathong basket for you too.

I also made a wish.

I hope you are happy.

From an alumnus of

S.O.B. Class 2

I've never thought of being a teacher.

From the start, it's been full of hardship.

Luckily I found your diary.

It has been a very helpful guide.

It helped me to understand that to live here

we must be more than teachers.

We must also be like their parents.

We are in the cold season

I learned for the first time that

picking out winter clothing

isn't as easy as I thought.

Stop it. Muek you already have one.

Pink is mine.

Don't fight over it.

I bought one for each of you.

I wrote down your problems to solve. C'mon.

It's getting close to exam time.

The kids still act like they have a stomachache

when it's time to math problems.

Not only the kids,

before I can teach the kids even 1 problem

I have to hide out in the restroom to solve it first.

I need to go poo. Mr. Song.

I just realized something.

There is one thing these kids have never known.

A train runs from a passenger platform to station A.

Traveling X kilometers

What does being on a train feel like?

You don't know what a train is?

I know but I've never been on one.

Then let's go catch a train.

Is this a train?

No, for this to be a train

you need to scream "Choo choo!"

Choo choo, chugga chugga.

Choo choo, chugga chugga.

Let's pretend that our school is the platform

and Tuna's house, which we just passed, is Station A

and the pier we are heading towards is the train station.

The distance we traveled from the school to the pier

is exactly how far in total?

The equation looks like

5x = x plus 360 is the equation to solve.

I was never good at school and it's probably because of this

that I am able to understand them better.

It's almost time for finals

The kids are putting 101% of their hearts in to it.

Go Class!

Go Class!

On the day of exams everyone passed

except for one.

You could do it, right?

Yes. Yay!

I could do it

but I ran out of time.

Chon, it's not your fault.

I'm a bad teacher.

Sir,

I want to resign.

I am going back to school.

Going back to school is a good idea.

It will help you when you come back to teach.

I agree.

Sir, what will you do with the kids at the houseboat?

Oh, don't worry about them.

The former teacher is coming back.

She is a very good teacher.

No need to worry.

I see.

All the kids talked about you all the time.

I am sorry

that your diary is tattered.

Thank you for keeping me company all this time.

You helped me to understand

that missing someone who is far away

can make you happy in ways I could not imagine before.

This diary,

I will now return back to its owner.

Song

The students' scores are really good.

Ms. Ann, you never disappoint me.

Sir,

Mr. Song, the other teacher who taught at the houseboat,

Where is he now?

Huh?

I need to consult with him about an issue with my students.

I'm not sure.

Ever since he left, he hasn't been in touch at all.

But he seemed very happy to know

that you were coming back to take his place.

I still have this though.

One moment.

Here.

Uh.

Thank you, sir.

Sorry the number you dialed is not yet in service.

Please check your number again.

Are you looking for someone?

I'm looking for Mr. Song.

Who's at the door?

He moved out a long time ago.

And so...

Lonely.

I'm lonely too.

Fraction problems are damn difficult!

Ms. Ann

I can't figure out this problem.

Can you help me with this?

Sure.

Here.

First of all

We need to move the variables over.

Then we have to balance the equation.

The we move 2 (Two = Song)

Where are you moving me to?

I want to stay right here.

Because you play around like this,

that why you can't solve it.

Yeah.

The answer is X = 2

Thank you Ms Ann.

Have you ever seen what love looks like?

I've never seen it.

But I feel it.

Do you know what heartache looks like?

I don't know.

But I feel it.

There's no difference to my heart.

What you feel, I feel in my heart.

There are some things we can't see with our eyes

but we know it within our hearts.

We are no different.

The cool breeze that you feel isn't so different from me.

The warm morning mist of every morning

isn't very different from my heart.

I wish to meet Ms. Ann.

I want to meet you too.

What you feel, I feel in my heart.

There are some things we can't see with our eyes

but we know it within our hearts.

We are no different.

I will swim with you.

Some Tilapia please.

You are here early this morning. - Hello.

Why haven't the mechanic come to install the generator yet?

Not yet?

When I run into the principal, I will ask him.

I left a letter for you with Muek.

Don't forget to get it.

I won't.

Mr. Song is nice.

He left but didn't forget us. He still wrote a letter to say hi.

Mr. Song?

Yup.

Ms. Ann you aren't taking your fish.

You can have them.

T-o, To

M-u-e-k, Muek.

H-e-l-l-o

Muek, your poop is stuck in your butt.

Hey Mr. No-Water-To-Wash-Your-Butt!

Hey Mr. Didn't-wash-your-hands.

Your poop stinks.

Oops.

Muek. Muek.

Uncle Boonmee gave you a letter, right?

Hmm?

Why did you leave it in the toilet?

I dropped it in the toilet.

But I opened and read it already.

Really? What did it say?

C-o-m-

Coming.

Mr. Song is coming?

When is he coming?

N-e-w

New year?

Next year?

B-r-e-a-k

School break?

Mr. Song will come this school break, right?

Y-e-s, yes.

Very good.

Hey kids.

Don't lay down yet. We are not finished yet.

Tomorrow Mr. Song will be here. You don't want to be ashamed.

Ms. Ann, I can't do it anymore.

Get up.

Nui, why are you here?

Tomorrow is the last day of school.

I came to take you home.

I know.

There's no way you will forget how I wronged you.

I won't try to make any excuses.

I won't ask you to love me like you did before.

I just want you to give me another chance.

I miss you.

I miss you every day.

I still feel the same for you in every way.

Just like I felt when we're 1st year college students.

This whole year

I wrote you a letter every week.

But you never once replied me.

I just wanted to know how you are doing.

I am sorry that I was so selfish.

I made you transfer to teach at Mon Fah.

Even though I knew you weren't happy.

I won't ask you to do anything for me anymore.

Nui

I messed up one time.

I am trying my best to set things right.

I'm taking full responsibility for my kid.

As for that woman I don't contact her anymore.

Ann, come back and let me take care of you, please?

Nui

Kids come here. I have something to tell you.

I want to tell you that all of you passed your exams.

All of you graduated to the next grade. Here you go.

Here Tong. - Thank you.

Tuna. - Thank you.

Gao. - Thank you.

You finally graduated.

You do your best to help your dad fish, OK?

No need to worry about that.

I'm going to be a fisherman

who has the best math skills around here!

You aren't going to greet Mr. Song with all of us?

I will see you next semester.

Goodbye.

Give me a hug.

Be good.

Ann... let's go.

I almost forgot.

This is yours right? You left it on your table.

Hello Mr. Song.

We still didn't get to meet.

But the kids will be very happy to see you again.

The school hasn't changed much since you were here last.

The wall in the kitchen that you built

I redecorated it.

It looks nice you'll want to use it.

The kids love to play wrestle

and use the moves you taught them.

Ms. Ann you are my fairy princess.

Fairy princess?

Don't even. Go away.

Don't' worry. -

Tong has a hard head

with a lump the size of a lemon. It took 2 days to go down.

This year Tuna is maturing into a young woman.

She is starting to like to dress up.

Mr. Song, don't tease her ever about having dark skin.

She is very sensitive about her skin.

Feel good?

OK?

OK.

Muek has gotten a lot bigger.

Now he can spell everyone's name.

Good job.

Muek - Ms. Ann - Gao - Tuna.

Easy.

Gao took his boy scout oath.

He has devoted himself to charity work.

Stay still.

Two nights ago we had a graduation party for Chon.

I never thought that

helping a kid graduate 6th grade

would make me this happy.

Ms. Ann is crying

Thank you Mr. Song

for helping me look back and remember

why I became a teacher in the first place.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Ann.

Are you OK?

You miss the kids?

School is over.

Can you stop being a teacher for one second?

Nui,

there is this one teacher at the houseboat.

One day he was trying to teach a math problem.

The problem had to do with a train.

This one kid was confused

because he's never been on a train before.

So he decided to drag the entire houseboat

behind his boat like a train.

What do you think of this teacher?

I think he has a lot of spirit in him.

But if he had 50 kids in his class

and he tried to do this

wouldn't he be able to pull it off?

In the end did the kid solve the problem?

Yes, he did.

But he didn't finish the exam in time.

If he took that time and concentrated on teaching more

that kid might have passed the exam.

But he finally got to know a train.

Do you know

if it was me

I would have done the same thing.

I don't understand.

What do you mean?

Because we have never really understood each other.

So we shouldn't be together anymore.

I think everyone probably went home already.

OK then let's turn back.

Uncle, you are back?

Give me a second. I'm almost finished.

Hello Ms. Ann.

Hello Ms. Ann!

Hello Mr. Song!
