Based on the statements of Ly Sokchea and Leng Dara, the plaintiffs.
The letter confirms that the complaint is not intended to request the closure of the after-school classes, but only to request that certain points be adjusted that interfere with daily life. In the past, students who came to study parked their motorbikes in disorder, and students who studied at the next school hour often played ball and rode motorbikes back and forth, which could eventually cause accidents. At the same time, Leng Dara has a chronic illness and an elderly mother at home, and teaching often involves dragging tables and chairs, causing noise.
Based on the mediation of Mr. Khim Sunsoda, the parties agreed to abide by five principles: Chan Sophea (teacher) will adjust the parking area for bicycles and motorbikes and instruct students to be in good order, adjust the noise inside so as not to disturb them, instruct students to return home quickly after school, ask neighbors to be understanding and tolerant, and become good neighbors. The commune and village authorities must monitor the activities of students who come to school.
