Mogam's answer to 6 and 7 may have gone into cargo cult thinking. I'm quite sure Max's answer to 6 and 7 also went into cargo thinking

1: 0:00:00 (we don't have schools here, it's been like that for a long time, in our father's time and today. We're not schooled. Just a few of our kids go and get school, we people in the bush don't have good school. We stay here and we know about planting food and looking after pigs. We don't know school work, then you guys came, in our time you guys came. We're happy about that you're learning our language, you'll write books and teach us is what you said we're happy about that and we're going to do it, we'll plant a school here and our kids will learn. There's work to do and you're getting our language but it could take some years. We're happy that your 3 families have come) 2: 0:02:38 (I left school. I did a little school, but I left it. I was learning but there was a hevi... -there was a big class and my learning wasn't going well- [I think he says]. I [or my parents] was scared and I came back. I left school in the middle. Which grade was that? Grade 2) 3: 0:03:29 (It's the same with my kids, I left school and they don't have learning. They are here and don't know. If a hevi will come I don't know, that hevi comes. When they're big will a hevi come? Will they drink water, smoke and do that I don't know. Will the do well or not I don't know. If they do well they will stay, if they don't they will come back. My bel is like that. My firstborn is... learning? I left him to learning and his uncle is looking after him) 4: 0:04:28 (he's at ambilina. Where is that? Tabagi) 5: 0:04:50 (people go and learn, some people work, they become teachers or do work. That's what town people do. We bush people don't, maybe one or two will work like be a council. They could do mission work, writing books, work lotu, that sort of thing. People who are highly educated go to town to work school work is like that. A few of us learn lot and do work like government work. Some do mission work telling people what good and bad behaviour is and to follow good behaviour. That's what school work is like) 6: 0:06:52 (writing is a big thing, books can be written and knowledge gotten. not having literacy is a big hevi) 7: 0:07:40 (if someone knows how to write good things will come, -we'll get them in our place-? We'll become save people. We don't know this work though and we don't have school. You guys have come and you're doing a big work. You guys will start a school and teach us, we'll see clearly and read books that work will happen. We'll school and we'll ride in the helicopter and see you they'll talk and go on the helicopter we'll go about up there. we'll go to kosilim? they'll go in the helicopter and school will come. They'll get good things. That's not for us though, our eyes are dark we have it difficult our money is short -and we have only a few things?-)

Now I don't know, but before it was like that. Do your kids go to Magilon school? Long ago they did, now not. Same with Atitau) 2: 0:02:03 (I didn't go to school. I left one of my kids at school) 3: 0:02:31 (My kid went to school, but he left. Grade 1 he left, he didn't learn) 4: 0:03:00 (He went to school in Emal, but he left it. The school building fell apart and they abandoned it) 5: 0:03:30 (your eyes become clear. You see good things clearly, you go to school and you can read) 6: 0:03:56 (Literacy is a big thing, you work hard and you can read) 7: 0:04:16 (when someone can read they do the work they can do and they don't do the work they can't do. what work? working for money, reading. If you know lots you can get a job, otherwise you just stay home)
