Sit down.

And continue.

Valentin.

What?

Are you practicing or not doing anything?

Leave me alone!

We will now add up.

How many ones do you have?

Could you please turn nine balls, so that you can see the color?

Always from one direction.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Let's see. How many do we have to take away?

Nine?

No. How many do we have to take away? We have nine in total.

Nine pieces.

How many do we have to take away...

from nine pieces?

- Six? - Right. Take away six.

Do you remember the numbers in love?

Seven plus how much is ten?

Which two numbers love each other? They always add up to ten.

It was the one with the hearts.

Do you remember?

Seven and which number are in love with each other?

That is then always ten.

- Two? - No.

- Three? - Right. Seven plus three is ten.

Let me play with!

No! Beid!

May I play with?

Hafsa, I'm waiting.

Sorry that I'm late.

What happened?

I overslept.

Good morning to you all.

Good morning.

Look, this is a bit...

Beid, I push your table forward and you're still talking to her?

Should we discuss it or would you rather work?

- Work. - Okay, good.

I don't like that, should I white it out?

White-out?

- White-out? - Yes.

Yes, please.

Thank you.

- Yes, please, you say. - Yes. Please.

Wait till it's dry, then it's your turn again.

Pizza baker, look how to spell baker. Isn't it corrected?

It is. I'll write it out for you again.

Baker.

Copy it correctly.

What is that? Is he bald?

Is that a child?

No.

- Is that a grandfather? - No.

Well, what is it?

Looks like a ghost.

- Do ghosts go to the dentist? - Yes.

Really? Come on.

He doesn't even have hands or feet.

What kind of person is this?

It was once haunted at my father's.

You can continue here.

Number-Walls.

You know what to do?

If not I'll help you.

Okay. Great.

You can continue with Hafsa. Do you want to work together?

No? Okay. Continue here as well.

Sweetie, I told you before. Look...

The day is almost over. Another hour or so.

It's sticking, very quick. Careful.

- Is dad praying or what is he doing? - Praying.

Praying?

Okay, great. Very nice.

Can you please stop it?

I didn't do anything.

- You're doing like this with the table. - No.

Liar. You always say no no.

No. You're lying.

Be quiet now or I'll tell on you.

- Can you please stop it? - Okay.

Go to your seat!

Why?

- Go to your seat! - Why?

Go to your seat!

I didn't do anything.

One...

Two... or I'll go tell the teacher.

What's wrong?

You're annoying. You're talking the whole time.

Okay, just continue.

You talk to me, then I talk to you.

This pen is slow, mine is faster.

He's talking all the time - still.

Okay, how can I help you, if it bothers you?

I don't talk with him, but he talks the whole time.

Did you tell him that it bothers you?

Yeah, I told him.

- What did he answer? - Nothing.

Mohammed, would you like to say something?

Sorry for being...

loud.

Mohammed, please look at her when you speak to her.

Look her in the eyes.

Sorry for speaking like that.

Do you want to say something else to him?

Okay.

Is that settled now?

Do you want to continue working together?

Mohammed would like to. He wants to do this with you.

Okay, that's nice, thank you.

Don't speak Turkish, but German. That's not allowed.

Enes!

Is that your seat?

You can go there.

This is my seat.

Are you all here?

Wonderful.

You'll get the minutes in a sec, but I think I didn't make enough copies.

I'll send it to you all via email.

Pass some around, so that a few are in circulation.

You'll still get it. We can make copies.

In the first week there's always an introduction on language support, right?

It's not taking place this year.

Sad news:

The school social worker, Patrizia Fenckhart,

has gotten more hours at a middle school,

because there are more classes now.

We've lost those hours now.

The search is on for a new school social worker.

But...

they're saying secondary schools have priority over primary schools.

Therefore, we currently don't have a school social worker.

Don't ask, what's the point if we get another one every six months.

We also won't have the school psychologist for much longer.

She's pregnant.

Let's see if there's a replacement.

An exclamation sign on the door means: there is information in the class registry.

If you are in charge of this class as a substitute or on assignment,

familiarize yourself with this info.

Last year we had a family,

there was an issue with domestic violence.

A father wasn't allowed...

There was a restraining order.

We can't have slips of paper hanging up everywhere.

Please also don't send it via Whatsapp.

The information is in the class registry.

The symbol indicates to you that, there's something up in the class.

No, together, sweetie.

Post...

carr...

The word comes from to carry.

A...

Alper,

hello,

a...

Alper,

a...

What is that?

- E...? - No. a...

a...

My dad makes zebra crossings.

And also 30 speed zones.

What?

30 speed zones.

You mean, he puts up the street signs?

Yes.

So, he works for the city?

Majeda?

My father is a...

customer consultant...

at Magenta.

He provides advice...

and technical support.

My mother, when she was in Syria,

she was as a teacher.

In Vienna she was a shop assistant.

She stopped, because she's now pregnant.

- And she cleans and cooks. - At home?

What do you call your mom, if she no longer works?

A housewife.

Exactly.

That is also a type of work, when the mom is at home...

and does the housework.

She cooks for you, of course.

That's called a housewife.

- Thank you Majeda. - You're welcome.

What does your dad do?

He goes to construction site.

He builds big houses, like buildings.

Great.

And your mom?

My mom is a housewife, and she...

cooks at home. My mommy is also pregnant.

- She's also pregnant? - Yes.

Great. Thank you.

Melisa, do you want to go next?

My mom is a housewife.

My dad works in...

pizzeria.

In a pizzeria.

And my mom is also pregnant.

My mom works...

in a hospital.

She cleans the windows or the floor.

And my dad works in...

construction site.

Rebeca, do you want to go next?

My mother is a graduate nurse.

She has to bathe old people,

give them food, give them shots,

play with old people.

My father is a tinsmith.

He measures and insulates.

Well explained, bravo!

My mom works in cinema.

He goes to work at five. He... she starts at six o'clock.

He... cleans.

And my dad works in DPD.

He brings...

to addresses packages.

My father brings letter...

in... in...

in house.

Into the houses, exactly. What did we say, we just went over it.

Where does he throw these letters into?

Into the post...

Post...

boxes?

Into the postboxes.

Is he a tailor?

A tailor who sews and mends clothes?

- In Syria he was. - In Syria, okay.

In Vienna he's now a taxi driver, he repairs cars.

Is he a taxi driver...

or a car mechanic?

He works many things.

And what does your mom do?

My mom is just housewife.

Sometimes I do the shopping.

I painted a scientist who is doing an experiment.

And she made herself dirty.

What happened?

It exploded.

This is the school.

That is me, I'm the teacher. I have a potato head.

My head is like a potato and I...

look... like a...

I have a sun that is opening its mouth.

That's me with this thick,

this thick clothing.

And my hair is like a mountain.

This is...

What do you want to be?

An astronaut.

- The police found the robbers. - And then?

Then, I don't know how to say this, and then they...

They were allowed to go?

No.

There is a... I don't know how to say this.

I know only Turkish.

Say it.

Hapishane.

Jail. They went to jail.

My mom said: No make-up.

I said to her: Why?

Then she said, because...

there are people who steal children.

Then they will say: give me 10,000 euros.

10,000 euros until... 10,000 euros in the middle of the night.

If you do not give me 10,000 euros by the middle of the night,

then I will never return your child.

Interesting.

Where did you hear that? Or did your mom tell you?

Mom explained.

And then I asked:

What will they do, what will they do with me?

She said, they'll kill you and take...

your heart and flesh and...

Well, that doesn't really happen here in Austria.

Why did she say that?

It is possible, that in your mom's country...

something like that is more common.

Of course, you have to be careful, Nerjiss, not to get into a stranger's car.

Or that you don't talk to strangers. We've learned that already.

But that someone kidnaps you, that doesn't happen often in Austria.

Kidnap?

The first word is "Kid".

We were at the checkout, there was this woman, she went like this...

Like that.

She came close to me and smelled me.

I got scared and we quickly left the store.

She sniffed you?

And she...

Maybe you smelled so good. Can that be?

Like perfume?

No.

I don't wear perfume.

Or like shower gel?

- No. - Shampoo?

No.

But your mom was there?

- No, only my grandmother. - Your grandma. That's good.

This family spoked German.

Spoke.

My grandmother only speaks Turkish, so she didn't understand this family.

We quickly left the store.

You left. Okay.

I'll get it.

Come, Ibro.

It gets serious.

You're not allowed to go swimming in a t-shirt and street clothes.

How do you go swimming?

Do you wear a shirt while swimming?

Sometimes.

My sister has a bathing suit...

with two parts.

- What's that called? - No idea.

What you just described.

That's right, in a bikini you can also go swimming.

Is it belly-free?

Yes, Beid.

You don't have to laugh at her.

Can't she go belly-free?

No.

Why not?

You won't be able to tell her what to do.

You can decide for yourself what to wear.

You don't have to go belly-free.

But she can decide for herself, right?

Right?

- May she decide for herself? - Yes.

- Unless she's his wife. - You clown.

He may decide for other girls what they wear?

How does that work?

With me, no one gets to decide, I decide for myself.

I choose my own clothes.

What did you mean by if they're women, then they're not allowed to?

Does your mom decide for herself what she wears or do others decide for her?

My dad decides for her.

- Your dad decides what she should wear? - I think so.

Your dad also says that?

My dad says, you can't show your belly, that's haram.

What else does he say?

Just the belly? Can you show everything else?

No. He... he means.

- So not the belly, but everything else? - No.

- Well, what then? - He says, I can show this...

- You can show your legs? - Yes.

- According to your dad. And the arms? - Yes.

- And the head? - Yes.

But the belly you have to cover up?

The belly and the chest and the butt have to be covered.

Okay, understood. Interesting.

Only my uncles can swim.

Only the men were allowed to swim, and the women not?

Yes, because my grandma didn't want it.

Do you think it's right,

when for example, your mom says, you can't go swimming?

Only your brother is allowed to go swimming.

Would you like that? No, right?

Should women also be allowed to go swimming? Yes.

But my mom doesn't swim.

She doesn't swim at all?

When are you going to Bulgaria?

I think today.

Today, okay.

What are your plans?

I plan to eat ice cream,

or maybe spend the night in a hotel.

David, where are you, sweetie?

In which country?

Where are you? In Serbia, or where do you always travel to?

- Serbia. - Okay, then say Serbia.

I want to go to Serbia.

You're flying to Tunisia. Where are you there?

At the beach.

Do you always go there, or are you in a hotel?

Or do you have relatives there? Aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas?

The beach is close to my grandparents' house.

Egemen is already scared.

A bunch of F's.

Just kidding. Egemen,

you're a very well-behaved and a very sweet boy.

You work very hard in math.

Because you're chatting with someone and always staring into space,

you don't finish the assignment during class.

I find that really too bad, Manessa, because you're actually really smart.

What could we do to change that next year?

Do you have an idea?

What should you always do well with your ears?

Listen.

Listen.

What I want from you for the next school year...

especially now during the summer, is that you speak more German at home.

Perhaps with Alpay, your brother.

He should also practice German a bit more. Perhaps you could practice together.

And also read more.

Promise?

Yes.

Alper, here you are.

That is very nice of you.

Thank you!

Only A's!

3rd grade.

I hate religion class.

I know, but you have to discuss that with your mom.

You all have a religion listed in the student registry.

So you're automatically registered for religion class.

If my mom doesn't want religion classes, what should we do?

Then have your mom write: "I withdraw my child Eda from religion class."

It's nothing bad. Just write that she doesn't want you to attend religion class.

Withdraw Religion?

Exactly. To withdraw.

Remember that word: Withdraw.

7 times 7?

49.

Eda against Valentin:

9 times 6?

54.

Manessa against Nerjiss:

2 times 9?

18.

No!

It can happen, Nerjiss.

Hafsa, Rebeca and Manessa.

A calculation, but this one is harder.

I'm going to give a "divided-by" problem:

81 divided by 9?

9.

Very good. First place.

Ask them if they want to get hit on the butt.

It was Valentin.

Did you whisper it into his ear?

Ibro,

Ibro, look at me.

I can tell by your eyes.

Ask them if they want that you hit them on their butts.

I already said, sorry.

Ask her.

Don't laugh, it isn't funny.

Eda is right here.

Ask her, if she wants that.

All girls don't like it.

This particular homework assignment involves...

doing a little something...

for the film crew.

First of all, it's important that you hold the phone like this.

Not like this. Like this.

Make sure that your fingers are not in the picture.

- That often happens to me too. - Here is the camera.

Exactly, so that your fingers are not in front of the camera.

And, that they are not on the microphone.

Nerjiss, why are you looking at me?

I love ice cream.

And to ride to the Danube with my bike...

And cevapcici.

And cevapcici, yes.

Hi, I'm Melisa. I'm going to do something with you all today.

Hi guys, what's up, I'm Eda and I got a new phone...

to film with.

It is my turn!

Hi teacher. What's your...

What's your name?

My name is Ilkay.

What's your last name?

My last name is Idiskut.

How old are you?

I'm 32 years old and soon I'll be 33.

Oh, a lot.

What do you like to do?

I like to go for walks.

And I like to go shopping...

I like to have fun...

at the cinema, watching a cool film,

eating popcorn and nachos.

Do you have a family?

Yes, I'm married and I have a husband.

My mom also lives in Vienna...

and I have two brothers.

What are your brothers' names?

My older brother is named Ibrahim,

and my younger brother is named Batuhan.

Batuhan.

What are your cousins' names?

I have many cousins,

but they're not here at the moment.

I have one cousin living here...

and her name is Sibel.

My other cousins all live in Turkey.

They're also all teachers and professors.

We have a lot of teachers in our family.

Ilkay, when I grow up,

I'm going to be an Imam, a Hodja.

You mean an Islamic teacher.

I want to go to police.

You want to become a policewoman?

Policewoman.

You know, my husband is a policeman.

It's not an easy job.

It's a hard job,

because you have to work a lot at night.

So and cut.

Beid,

where are you going today?

Home.

And what will you do at home?

Chill.

Why are you hitting, huh?

This is my father.

Dad, say, hello.

He just spoke Turkish.

Which three punctuation marks have we already learned?

Question mark, exclamation mark, period.

Melisa, you want to ask Danilo something. Ask Danilo something.

Where were you yesterday?

Very good. Danilo,

- which punctuation mark belongs at the end? - Question mark.

Danilo, continue with an exclamation mark.

With an exclamatory sentence.

Help!

Again.

- Help! - Very good, correct.

What languages do you speak?

Chechen, Russian, a little English and German.

- Do you like to work? - Yes.

- Do you like to read books? - Not really.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I will become a policewoman or fire-...

fire-...

fire department.

What is your culture?

Do you actually know what culture means?

So, there is dancing culture, culture of...

when you do something like I told you.

But...

it has to be exact.

It's not like when somebody dances anyhow.

With culture you dance exactly this dance,

the way it is in our country or in a religion.

Do you understand now?

Or not?

Culture means for example...

something that you do, but not so often.

So, you do it...

You do it, but...

It's like this. For example, in a dancing culture...

you don't do it with people who are from other countries.

You do it with people from your country or with your family.

Or from your religion. Keep talking.

You and I sometimes go outside. So that is a culture.

Because we sometimes go outside, when...

No, that isn't culture.

Culture is something, not just anything.

In which country do you want to live later?

What?

In which country do you want to live later?

- Dubai. - Dubai?

Why Dubai?

Everyone says that Dubai is the best country...

and that's why I want to go there.

I swear you did.

I did not.

- Yes. - No.

Both now stop with this "yes", "no".

Tell me what happened.

Arian showed me the middle finger.

I pushed him a little, then both hit me in the face.

No, that isn't true.

Yes.

You started hitting us with your fist.

- I didn't. You're lying. - You are.

We can only solve this, if everyone honestly tells how this happened.

I found out from Nerjiss's mother...

that something like this happened. I wasn't there. That's why I'm asking:

- Did you both come to her with your fists? - No.

But it was like this, because she hit me with her hood,

I then took my cap...

and I think I by accident got her lightly on the head...

You got her with your cap?

Did he get you with his cap, or did he really hit you with his fist?

He hit me on the head with the cap more than once.

It was only once.

You hit me three times on the head with your hood.

Why didn't you tell them at home that you also hit the kids?

I just stomped my foot.

You didn't say that. Why didn't you?

He hit me on the head with his cap and also hit me in the face with his hand.

You just said it was with the cap not with the fist. Now she's saying...

Dani, what did you see?

He really only did it with the cap. His hand was like this...

Maybe I accidentally hit her head,

but it wasn't on purpose.

Did you apologize?

I forgot. Because she ran away.

Did she cry?

No. She didn't.

No, you didn't cry. You went away like that.

Who is completely innocent?

- Is someone completely innocent? - Dani.

Dani.

What do the other kids say?

Dani is also not innocent. Do you know why?

Because Dani could have ended the situation. He could have said, stop that now,

Arian, we're going, you don't need to fight with Nerjiss.

And you could have told Nerjiss: We're not doing this, stop it.

When you fight with a girl, you're in love. Then she's in love with you.

Do you think I love Nerjiss? No.

I hate Nerjiss.

You, you! What is she doing with Naruto?

Your name is Nerjisski.

Nerjissbiki.

Nerjisskiss.

Oh, it says "Kiss".

Below is yellow and above is blue and it is...

the Ukrainian flag.

Exactly. These are the colors of the Ukrainian flag.

Hafsa would like to tell us something about it.

Russia and Ukraine...

tried to be friends with one another.

They didn't find it good, so they broke up.

Many Russians stayed in Ukraine...

some Ukrainians stayed in Russia.

Then the Russians discovered that there are many treasures in Ukraine.

Then they said: Okay, I've had enough now, I'm going to get the money.

And the Ukrainians said: No.

Then the war started.

- From where do you have this information? - I asked my parents and they told me.

- Rebeca, what do you know about it? - My parents told me...

that Ukraine wanted to be in NATO and in NATO there is also USA.

And USA and Russia hate each other.

So, Russia didn't want its neighbor Ukraine to be in NATO.

Then Russia would be alone.

Then USA is closer to Russia and then maybe they fight with each other.

It's only about Ukraine and Russia. What's going on in Syria?

Good point.

Would you like to say something about this?

In Syria it was even worse...

because...

this boss of Syria always wanted to shoot guns...

and bombs and...

and to kill the people.

He wanted to do that,

but I don't know why.

What happened then?

Some people became dead.

Some were in the hospital, but it costs a lot of money.

And what did many do?

Away... went away.

Yes, many wanted to leave, because no one wants to stay in war.

It's very important to me that you always remember:

Peace is the most important thing in the world.

War and fighting and hitting, that's what we also learn in school...

Does that do you any good?

Is it good to hit someone right away and punch them?

Okay. What do you do then?

Punch?

Where, who, other people?

Yes.

- What? - Yes.

What kind of people do you hit then?

Is it good when you walk down the street and punch a stranger in the face?

I think it's good.

You hit strangers?

You just caused two people to start a war.

When you really think about it, do you think it's good?

- Yes. - Which country are you from?

Macedonia.

- Is it nice there? - Yes.

- Was there a war? - No.

Then you can't understand it.

Talk to people, talk to children who have experienced war.

I think there was a war before I was born.

Would you find it nice if there was a war in your country?

I don't know.

When I want to calm down, then I hit myself.

Because... I once...

discussed with my sister that we don't fight anymore.

I must never get angry again.

That's why when I get angry, I hit myself.

You are on a mountain,

the wind is blowing.

You feel how the wind touches your skin.

A great field trip.

If you're already on the top of the mountain...

and you've relaxed,

you wait for me to touch you,

then you can go and change your clothes.

It's very nice to film.

You can take it out.

I want it this way. It is even better.

Hafsa, could you...

Don't scream!

Cat or hare?

Hare.

Hare or... tiger?

Hare.

Mother or Fatima?

Mother.

Mother or Teodora?

Mother.

What is very important? Mother or God?

Both.

Only one.

Mother.

- You have to choose God. - God made you. He made people.

Yes, God too.

Can we try one?

Try one?

Then I get a piece of chocolate from each of you.

Promise?

Give five!

What do I get tomorrow?

Chocolate.

I'll wait for you.

Can you please give us one?

One piece each.

I don't want.

Nectarines are good.

Healthy.

Thank you.

- Salaam Aleikum. - A man of honour.

Dude, they're all men of honour.

He gives us...

For real?

I wanted to give to him.

Tastes good?

Carrots?

Nah, don't feel like it.

It's Ramadan, it brings us wonderful things.

It's Ramadan, the most beautiful time of the year.

It's Ramadan, it brings us wonderful things.

Yeah, Ramadan.

Yeah, Ramadan.

The most beautiful time of the year.

I only fast Saturdays and Sundays, because with school...

You're still children. Children are not yet obliged to fast.

But you can also try it.

On the weekend, on Saturday or Sunday.

Next week is Easter vacation, you can try it then too.

But look now.

If you have made it to the middle of the day,

and then you say, I can't anymore,

I'm very hungry,

I'm thirsty, then it's not so bad,

if you eat and drink something...

and fast again afterwards.

That's what children do.

That's how they learn with time...

how to fast the whole day.

How do we break the fast?

- Ibrahim again. - By drinking water.

Drinking water. Correct.

With what else, if you have it?

What else?

Yes, Dani.

Dates.

What are dates?

These are dates.

"Hurma" in Turkish.

"Tamar" in Arabic.

I fast.

You fast? The whole day?

Yes.

How many hours?

Until we are allowed to eat.

Until 8 or something like that.

But you don't have to fast yet, you're so young.

Yes, but I love to fast. Because you get 70 times as many points.

Like plus points, more than on normal days.

So if I pray once, I get the same as if I prayed 70 times.

Can you also always say the word...

- that you're writing? - Penis.

Yes, and...

Testicles.

Do girls also have that?

No.

Exactly, only boys have that.

Men get chest hair.

Doesn't have to be, can be. There are men who have less body hair.

Women don't really have chest hair, unless they have little hairs, which is different.

But they have breasts.

- Vulva. - Vulva, ok.

What else do you call it...

when you go to the doctor? There is another medical term.

He might not say vulva, but?

Mohammed?

- Vagina. - Vagina, exactly.

You should know the technical terms, because they are important.

That doesn't fit proportionally, that isn't realistic.

A body has a correspondingly sized penis.

Not a line like that. Also, here...

it's not very realistic, okay?

Dance.

What are you doing?

Where is David? He's first.

- Who is David? - Wave hallo.

First.

Dani?

Second.

Majeda?

Third.

Teodora?

Fourth.

Rebeca?

Who is Rebeca?

Dear students, dear teacher.

Today I present to you my presentation about water cycles.

As you know, every living thing on earth needs water to survive.

Plants, trees, animals and of course humans.

This is the earth where we live.

There is only a certain amount of water on earth...

and it is the same as 4 billion years ago.

Now I will show you how water cycles work.

Precipitation ends up either in rivers,

lakes, or oceans, or on fields and forests.

I wanted to ask one more thing: Is there more fresh water or salt water?

Who knows?

- Mohammed? - Salt water.

Correct.

Hafsa?

I thought your presentation was good, but you looked a bit too much at your paper.

I think your poster is very nice, colorful.

You explained well. You spoke out loud.

I would give you...

an A minus.

Your presentation was good.

The heading is a bit small.

The poster is nice, very nice.

You didn't really...

You didn't, how do you call it...?

Speaking freely?

No, not that. I mean when you're...

like explaining something and you're afraid or something.

Afraid.

Not afraid.

- Nervous or shy? - Yes, nervous.

- Nervous, she was nervous. - You weren't nervous.

Not nervous.

Not nervous. Thank you.

You looked at the paper a bit.

Not very much.

I'll give you...

You also spoke very loud. I'll give you...

an A-B.

If you want to say something, you can do so.

- What's this for? - For school.

Explain it to your mom.

This is for what I studied better.

I put that here.

They're here for what I'm not good at.

- Aha, for what you're not good at. - Yes.

- My German is not so good, because... - Why?

Why?

You can speak pretty well by now. Why isn't it so good?

- Because I read no books. - For example. What else?

Because I don't practice.

For example, why else?

Sorry.

Perhaps because it interests you less.

How do you mean?

Whether you are less interested in the subject. Writing,

reading, for example. Doesn't that interest you?

It does.

- But only sometimes. - Sometimes, okay.

- Which language do you speak at home? - Albanian.

That's why you're probably less interested in German.

At home my father speaks good German but he has no time for me.

He's always at the construction site and he builds buildings.

When he comes home, he has no time for me, because...

He's probably tired by that time.

And my mother can't speak German that well.

That's why I can't speak with her. My sister can't speak German.

My brother is small...

But have you noticed, how your speaking has improved?

- No. - That's too bad.

He scored a total of 126 points.

The average, the mean would be 150.

You can see that here, a low competence.

That's medium. And that's when someone really did it like that.

That would be German, Reading.

He still has a little tree, it has to grow a little bit.

In mathematics he has...

133 points.

The average would be 150 again. He is in this competence area.

The tree is also still small. Danilo, look that the tree grows,

so that you can then pick apples.

You can take a seat here,

if you like, whatever works best for you.

How are you doing?

Good, thank you.

Is everything good with Mohammed?

Good, Mashallah, okay.

How are you doing at home?

Everything okay with your sister and father? Or not so good?

Pretty good.

That's obviously best.

My father is very grateful to you because...

everything that he does now and...

has learned is because of you.

Thank you.

Of course, he's better now than before, when we first came here...

In terms of his learning behavior, definitely. Because otherwise,

like when we first started working,

the star would have gotten even smaller.

It's better now.

Okay, we're going in now. And we are going to behave ourselves.

There are people praying at this time. It's the afternoon prayer.

In which direction do Muslims pray?

In this direction, because what is there?

Mecca, exactly, The Kaaba.

What does the Imam do at lunchtime on Friday?

He climbs up these steps.

Would anybody of you like to climb up...

and see what it's like to stand up here?

You? Okay, come.

Where you're standing now...

is where the Imam stands on Friday and gives his speech.

Here in the Islamic Centre the speech on Friday...

is given in two languages, in Arabic and German.

After the Imam gave his speech from this staircase...

he goes back down the steps...

and goes into the prayer niche and opens the Friday prayer.

Have you ever prayed with your parents. For example, in a mosque?

Do you feel like coming forward...

and show your fellow students how we actually do our prayer?

Would you like to?

Okay, come forward.

You also want to. Okay.

You also want to. You come forward.

You too? Come forward.

What's your name?

Mohammed. Mohammed is our Imam for today.

He's going to show you how to perform the community prayer.

Mohammed. Stand over there.

You're the Imam now.

The others praying behind the Imam...

line up next to each other in a straight line.

This how you do it, this is how you line up.

Turn towards this direction.

My father is also an Imam.

His father is also an Imam.

Today you can say to your father: today I was also an Imam.

- My father as well. - Your father as well, wonderful.

When there is this much distance, Shaitan comes.

That's why we have to...

Exactly, the Prophet teaches us that in congregational prayer, you close ranks,

leave no gaps between each other.

Mohammed, stand in the front.

How do you start a prayer?

First you do the Adhan.

First you make a call to prayer. The Adhan. Correct.

Then you look in front of you,

and which chapter from the Quran is recited?

The opening chapter of the Quran. And that is the Sure Al-Faatihah.

Do you know the Sure Al-Faatihah by heart?

Really?

Do you want to read it so that the others can hear?

Okay, but look ahead.

Wonderful.

Okay, done.

What may boys do?

Boys can play,

help,

boys can do everything except hit or push or spit.

What may girls do?

Girls may...

also play the same. That doesn't matter.

Girls can also be pretty.

How do you imagine your wife?

Blue eyes,

light blue.

Blond hair.

And she has a good heart.

And speaks well.

Would you like to be a boy?

No.

- Would you like to marry? - Nah.

- Would you like to get a good job? - Yes.

- Do you want to earn money? - Yes.

- Would you like to go to secondary school? - Yes.

Then study a lot.

Love or money?

Love.

Love or your family?

My family.

Would you like to have a man?

Would you like to marry?

No thank you.

Why not?

Because I'd like to have some time alone,

make friends,

experience adventures,

and not have children and a husband, with my husband to care for.

Melisa, do you want to? Come.

Applause!

4th grade.

Any previous knowledge of German?

Not at all, no German. Okay.

The little one is downstairs in the first grade...

The little one?

Is she also in this cloak room?

No, new building.

I see, she's in the new building.

They should come a few minutes before 8...

so that she is not too late.

She's now a lateral entrant.

Doesn't speak a word of German.

The team colleague is sick. I don't have any support.

Now I have to do double the work.

We have double the work. With the lateral entrant and...

the German course.

Well, let's see.

It's pretty intense at the moment...

in Vienna's schools.

- Who is that? - Melisa, five calculations are missing.

Here, Rebeca. Round the number...

one thousand...

three hundred thirty three.

1330.

Very good.

Hafsa!

Round the number seven hundred...

and forty three.

740.

Very good, you guys are fast.

I'll tell you a number.

Round the number one hundred seventy two.

One hundred...

One hundred seventy one?

No. What is...

a tens digit?

Tell me what a tens digit is.

10

20

30

40

50

60, 70, 80

90

100

200

No. That is a hundreds digit. You unfortunately missed that,

that that isn't a tens digit.

200 is not the next tens digit after 100.

100 and 1?

101?

100...

10

120

130

140

100...

150

160, 170

180, 190

I said the number 172. Do you have to round up or round down?

What do you with a ones digit?

Round up.

Why round up? With which number do you round up?

With...

five...

six, seven, eight...

172. Now think about it again when I say 172.

181...?

No. 172. Which number is the ones digit?

Which number is the ones digit?

Two.

So more or less?

Less.

What is less? Is 180 less than 172 or more?

- More. - Then you have to do less.

- What is the next tens digit that is less? - 80?

80 is not less, 180 is more. What is less?

60?

No. 160 is way too little. What is the tens digit in 172?

Melisa, no. Give David the ball,

too bad.

Why can't you do it?

Sit down. Really too bad, Melisa.

I have so much stress that I...

always have to do it like this...

I'm always so stressed out,

that I always...

have to do homework.

I still have to do it,

so that maybe I become teacher...

or a policewoman...

or a nurse.

That is why I have to make an effort.

That's cool for me.

I mean I love...

to play here,

to ride a scooter...

I really love it,

yeah, I love that.

This is how the park looks like...

and...

I live here.

Good morning to you all.

Good morning.

Today we are going to do our first in-class test.

In which subject are we doing our test?

- In which subject? - German.

Exactly. This is the German test.

You studied a lot?

Ah dude,

I'm so scared.

Do you think you can describe yourself as a person?

- Can you do that in one sentence? - No.

Where do you think you'll write it? What else have I given you?

The class test is now finished. You can...

take a breather now.

What do you think?

C.

What didn't you do on the test?

Did you really describe yourself?

Look, Fatima.

You copied everything that was written there.

Maybe you didn't understand the question.

You didn't understand the question.

I'm really sorry about that.

How did it go for you?

I was nervous.

Do you think it went well or not? How do you feel about it?

- Good. - A good feeling? Okay.

It turned out to be a "very good".

What didn't you do, Dani?

- Describe myself. - You did not describe yourself.

You don't need to get down about it. You'll be able to make corrections.

That's one grade that you got on this test.

You can explain that to your mom.

Soon we'll have parent-teacher conferences.

That doesn't mean that you'll get a C...

as a grade on your report card. This is the grade on the test.

If you make an effort...

and don't disturb the lesson, but pay more attention,

you will achieve a better grade.

You don't need to get so down about it right now.

Look, I've broken everything down. Unfortunately, it didn't work out for you.

I couldn't do anything.

I'm really sorry.

Should I talk to your mom today?

I'll call her today, okay?

Do you want something to drink?

Let's make a circle around the altar, but we don't need to touch the altar...

just stand in front of it.

Make a circle around it. Careful.

Come.

The St. Stephen's Cathedral doesn't only belong to the church.

It belongs to all Austrians.

You could say, the Cathedral also belongs to you.

"This is my St. Stephen's Cathedral."

You could also say, this is your St. Stephen's Cathedral.

Everyone of you can say, this is my St. Stephen's Cathedral.

Take a step back, then you'll see it better.

This is the altar, where I, as the priest, celebrate one of the seven masses every day.

On Sunday, two or three.

I have a lot of other priests who support me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do all this.

I have a large operation. I have ten priests at my side.

Another 40 priests, who support me...

in listening to people, when they have worries.

When they have brought guilt upon themselves.

When they need forgiveness.

Do you have Roman Catholic children in your class?

We have Serbian Orthodox.

Roman Catholic. Wait, no, Romanian Orthodox. No, no Roman Catholics.

- Not a single one? - No, none.

- You have a question. - Where is Jesus?

Where is Jesus?

Jesus is in the form of bread...

in the cupboard next to it on the altar.

Where the red light burns...

it is a sign that we keep Jesus in the form of bread...

in the cupboard of the tabernacle.

In the bread, Jesus is there for us.

The most important thing, that you tell your mommy and daddy:

"I got to know my St. Stephen's Cathedral."

You can also say, your St. Stephen's.

And you can say, your St. Stephen's.

Each of you can say:

"This is my St. Stephen's."

That is especially important to me.

Also your St. Stephen's.

You still have a final question?

Why can we say that it's ours?

Because the St. Stephen's Cathedral belongs to every Viennese.

Alper, tell.

When I was at the McDonald's.

When you were at the McDonald's?

What does that have to do with St. Stephen's Cathedral?

Nothing.

Is the only thing that stuck with you from today is that you ate a hamburger?

No!

Well, then tell us a little something.

When I was in the other McDonald's...

I had 5 euros.

In this McDonald's...

it cost 5,70 euros.

- The same... - Sweetie,

are we talking about a McDonald's or are we talking about St. Stephen's?

- St. Stephen's. - Tell us something about St. Stephen's.

The difference is,

that there are like...

pictures.

And that this person is by the sign.

Which person? I don't understand.

What you do mean by that?

- I mean Jesus. - Where is he?

By the Christian signs.

The sign, as it were.

Or perhaps a crucifix.

In church there are these paintings with people on them,

and faces. In the mosque, there are patterns.

In the mosque you're not allowed to paint faces like that.

Is a Christian allowed to come to the mosque and pray?

No.

Why not? Who says it isn't allowed?

I do.

Are you the boss of the St. Stephen's Cathedral or of the mosque?

I don't think so.

I think it would not be so bad for a Christian to go into a mosque.

It's also a house of prayer.

So dear 4e. Attention.

You all know, I've been married for a while. You all also know my husband. What's his name?

And we decided, or actually it wasn't really a decision,

that we also want to have a great child like you.

What do you think will be my piece of news?

Hafsa?

Are you pregnant?

Yes. You can already see a belly.

Alper already noticed it last week.

I ignored him, right Alper?

I ignored him.

I thought, I have to tell you all together, not individually.

That would not have been fair.

The only problem is...

that when I'm seven months pregnant...

right now, I'm about in my fourth month...

I'll unfortunately have to go.

That means...

that someone else will take over the class. But you don't have much longer...

until the end of the school year.

It'll only be three more months, or four. 3 1/2 months, okay?

- Too bad Ilkay. - I'm still here now.

Yes, but when...

When I'm gone. Yes, but it won't be long for you then.

Good, we'll do that right away.

Whoever ordered a chicken schnitzel, please come!

- Congratulations. - Oh, thank you very much.

Stop it.

How are things with the next school? Do you already have a wish?

I'm caught in the middle, I don't know.

That's why I think,

the school that's directly across from my apartment.

- Which one? - Herzgasse.

I do not have to worry about both. I told you that at the beginning.

I didn't find my children on the street. That's why they come accompanied...

and also go home accompanied.

She wants to go on her own, but we still don't allow it.

I think she would have the maturity. I would trust Elif.

Yes, me too. But I don't trust the street.

That's my problem. Otherwise, there is no problem. In our time, it was very different.

There weren't these instances.

It has changed completely.

You're looking like that. You do want to go alone.

But next year.

I would prefer to leave her in Turkey.

- Why? - To go to school there.

For what reason?

It's better this way, that they first go to middle school.

Majeda is sure to graduate in good form.

She is motivated,

she speaks great, she's open for everything.

I'm sure you'll turn out to be something good.

It's important that she doesn't lose her motivation.

If she loses her motivation and only has D's and F's,

then she'll also be sad about it.

We wanted a secondary school.

Which one, did you already have an idea?

Yes, the 5th district.

The Josef-Haydn-Secondary School?

We understand the secondary school system.

I did a master's degree in Tunisia. The mother did as well.

We don't understand these other schools.

The education system is a bit complicated here.

Here, there are two categories.

The selection is made during elementary school.

One looks for those who are independent, who get everything.

You send them along.

The others...

go to middle school, where the pedagogical aspects are more important.

In secondary school,

the children have to learn a lot on their own.

I know that you both run after her.

But it has to come from her.

If she would change that a bit,

I would immediately say: enroll her in secondary school.

I want to see it a little bit. A little bit.

- Well? - I try.

Don't try.

We are in the last year. You could've tried the year before.

You can.

I don't go for "trying".

There is no longer the question of trying in the 4th grade.

You have to say something.

With just trying,

I won't achieve anything.

Maybe I'll make it, maybe not.

- I will change. - Good.

Promise?

I promise.

Please.

Which teacher will come after you?

We unfortunately don't know yet, who can take over the class.

I can only tell you that no one wants to take over a class.

But it's not because you're here,

but because some are not doing so well health-wise.

Some teachers have fewer hours,

like Nicole, who only works eight hours a week. So, it's difficult for her to lead a class.

So there are fewer teachers here,

who have many hours.

That's why there isn't a teacher yet who can take over this class.

Yes, I scored a goal.

Play properly at the football table. If you can't do it, then leave it.

Go away from there and don't play. You aren't being forced to play.

I'm saying this because the table is already broken.

That is my table, I bought it with my money.

Try it now once and if it doesn't work, then there's a football table ban.

Then I don't care either.

Next point, what is the next problem?

Every time I go there, she takes the ball in her hand.

And when I go to you, she continues playing.

Can you please translate that?

Three of you speak Turkish. So, please.

You go over there, take the ball away from us and just keep on playing.

- Even though they tell you, you keep on playing. - What?

You take the ball...

Why do you take the ball and don't give it back,

when we want to play with it?

I want to put the ball in through the hole.

But the ball is already on the playing field. Why do you take it?

Even though he says that to the teacher, you don't give the ball back.

Teacher, we are playing and he holds the ball like this.

- No I don't! - He holds it tight.

But Liemar, why do you think everyone has a problem with you?

Don't know.

Do you think it could have something to do with you?

No.

No? When all the children have a problem with you? Why do you think?

Nobody plays with me. Besides, they...

What do they do?

They hate me. Elif says, nobody should play with me because I have lice.

Elif says that? Did you all hear that?

- Yes. - I never heard that.

Okay, what else is a problem?

- And she was swearing at me last week. - What did she say?

"Fuck you and piss off."

I don't want to hear any bad language now.

I only hear complaints here.

On the one side from boys who don't get along with Liemar.

And on the other side from Liemar, that she is constantly insulted and teased.

What is the problem, that we have a child, I already explained this to you,

she doesn't know much yet, you all know that.

And you should actually be more mature.

Stop playing with stuff, this concerns all of you.

Everybody take everything out of their hands.

It concerns EVERYBODY.

This is a community, and she belongs to it. I've already explained this to you.

On one side, the boys, who claim that Liemar misbehaves.

On the other side, I hear from Liemar that she is constantly insulted.

She had lice was claimed. Where does she have lice?

Why do you use such expressions? Why do you insult people?

Besides, it's quite normal. I had lice as a child. So what?

But she doesn't have any. FYI.

Who of you plays with her from time to time?

Out of 24 children, there are four children who play with her?

You can't exclude someone all the time!

When we went home, Ibro hit Liemar like this.

Why do you hit her?

Why does one hit someone?

You shouldn't.

Ibro, what is it?

You beat up girls?

Are you this weak?

Are you so weak, that you have to hit someone with your fist?

That is a sign of weakness.

I heard that Ibro wanted to spit on her school bag.

I quickly went back so that nobody spits on her bag.

Please explain to me, what all this is. I don't know this side of you.

I've known you for about 3 1/2 years now.

What is going on with you?

I really ask myself, who you've suddenly become.

Alper!

Alper, I found yours.

Like we already said at the beginning, today...

is the last day of the school...

of the first semester. It's not quite the final day...

of elementary school.

You all almost made it, because you're now in year four.

You only have half a year left, and then elementary school is over.

Only one B.

In math, but I don't care. Otherwise I only got A's.

My mom will be so proud.

We have the same grades.

Your mom won't scold you this time. Right?

The main thing is, you don't have any F's.

If you don't have any F's, you can go to middle school.

But I tried so hard.

You got much better.

- You're also unsatisfied, right? - Yes, I have D's.

D's. How many?

Two.

In which subjects?

I forgot.

I forgot which two.

I think in math and German.

Did you expect something better?

I thought I'd get C's.

Which grade did you get?

Same as you.

"A good teacher is hard to find, hard to leave and impossible to forget."

Thank you, that is so nice.

That is so sweet.

This is the best present you could ever get.

Made with love.

Fingerprints! Now I have all your fingerprints.

Because you like coffee, I made this.

- Did everybody do something? - Yes.

I already announced it earlier this year. You all know.

As of tomorrow, I have to go on maternity leave.

That means, I'm not allowed to work.

I'm so sorry, that...

Now I have to cry, when I look at you.

I'm so sorry that no one else...

is coming.

It pains me...

that I can't hand you over.

When I look at you,

I don't want to go at all.

Majeda is also very emotional.

But don't worry. I will visit you.

And then... Majeda, don't look at me.

Then we'll do that...

The handover. Okay?

Stay as you are.

Study hard, show the others what you can do.

You can do a lot.

You learned a lot in the past four years.

I'm certain, you're all going to be something great.

Remember that for the future.

Today is carnival. We shouldn't cry so much. But instead laugh more, right?

Let's have these be tears of joy that we will see each other again.

I am Furkan.

I am Alper.

I am Selen.

I am Eda.

I am Selin.

I am Natalia.

I am Teodora.

I am Hafsa.

I am Rebeca.

My name is Majeda.

I am Manessa.

I am Dani.

I am Danilo.

I am Ibrahim.

I am Beid.

I am Fatima.

I am Egemen.

I am David.

I am Melisa.

I am Liemar.

Three days later, a new teacher was found for the class.

Shot between the fall of 2020 and spring 2023...

in Vienna's largest elementary school, Bernhardtsthalgasse, 10th district, Favoriten.
