Hassan is checking that his girls have come in their uniform and diapers an easy year is a new girl in Zakia our Susy so she has a new bus route to dominate the vast majority of schools in Syria are secular but up to now diet has been educated in a Sharia school operates according to Islamic principles, but diets schools for Zakir al non-religious are Suzy to focus on her academics for the crucial last year of her high school. Some Muslim girls in Zakia or Suzi do not wear the traditional hijab. Islamic veil diets Islamic sharia school was a different world The new headmistress A Muslim woman from a different generation has noticed a change in fashion 14 years ago the team won't be back now most of them are covered Why do I do it, lady?

Hassan has come to explore the reasons why the agent and the intensity of it remain after a while and in the future. New sporty girl Dwyer decides to join the debate.

Hassan's job to cope with all the challenges that come with his position not everyone can be a principal because it is very difficult to know everything about his students about his teachers vice principal is dealing with a problem that every school faces at the beginning of the year, the difference here is that many of the teachers also work at other schools to increase their income, so it's a logistical nightmare to arrange the schedule to fit everyone's different work schedules. I said that I think he's a gentleman whenever I think about it and it's probably just that things have gotten so bad that mrs.
