In the film Vicor's diary is a gift from his mother . In the film professor Waldman died because a killer cut her stomach with the knife and kill him.

Discussion essay

In the past they didn't have rules that protect students and the teacher did phisical punishments.

Now if any teacher touch any student this teacher will have problems. Today the teacher punish studentes in a different way. My oen opinion is that this punishments are corrects. On the one hand, some studentes merit the phisical punishments. On the other hand this punishmentsis well and I wouldn't change anything. Some poeple would argue that at the moment is ok but others would change the punishments.

This topic is very sensible because it depend on people but I won't change anything although the teachers aren't stricts like before. I won't put stricts rules now.
