Nghe An: The whole class signed a petition to 'change class schedule' to watch the final match.

The handwritten application with the content “Application for changing the schedule” is two pages long and includes the signatures of all members of the class. Although the main content is to request a change of the schedule, the students of class 9A1, Tra Lan Secondary School still could not hide their joy when expressing their feelings after the resounding victory of the Vietnam U23 team at the tournament.2018 AFC U-23 Championship.

A victory that the students described as "shocking the five continents, resounding the world" when they overcame Asian football powerhouses such as U23 Australia, U23 Iraq, U23 Qatar...

However, in that joy, the students also expressed regret that in the final match on Saturday afternoon, the whole class had to miss Math class. With the desire to witness the peak moments of Vietnamese football, the 9A1 class expressed their feelings:

"Teacher, think about it! Is the first Southeast Asian team to reach the finals something to be proud of? Not only us, but also the people of the whole country, but also the people of Southeast Asia, are placing their hopes on U23 Vietnam. Teacher, think about it: When the whole country is looking forward to this important match, why do we still have to go to school? Why aren't we proud of the resounding victories of the team? Why don't we put our strong faith in talented players like Bui Tien Dung, Nguyen Quang Hai, Nguyen Cong Phuong..."

Finally, after much “reasoning”, the main purpose of the class was to ask the teacher to “change the schedule”. The class was also obedient and confident when affirming that they would"I promise to go to make up class"after the Vietnamese team won the championship. At the same time, committed"After the football match is over, our class will return to order, discipline, and rules."

Although we don't know the outcome of this application, after the school's Vice Principal shared the application, it received many comments such as "The kids are so adorable and the reasons are adorable too", "The more I read, the more interesting it becomes! The arguments are tight, the reasoning is sharp! I love you guys so much!".

One teacher even enthusiastically said, “I approve and support each student with a plate of banh beo from the class fund.” Discussing the reason for posting the students’ petition on his personal page, teacher Trinh Dang Khoa said: When the homeroom teacher gave me this petition, after reading it, I felt very excited because I saw the love of the students for the Vietnam team. We ourselves are people who love football and the team, so we see this as a legitimate wish and do not hesitate to let the students take time off to watch this “historic” football match…

Tra Lan Secondary School is considered a high-quality school in Con Cuong district, in which Thai ethnic students account for a large proportion. For many years, despite many difficulties, the school has always been at the top of the province among schools in mountainous areas in terms of the percentage of excellent students in the province, excellent students in the country, etc.

To prepare for the final match, the school is also planning for students and teachers to watch football together at school.
