Any teacher could get through to students
like these. The students I have, why bother?
:39:31
- All children are entitled to an education.
- I'm not prepared for my job.
:39:35
You were my college professor.
Should've taught me how to stop a fight.
:39:39
How to deal with an IQ of 66. How to
quiet a class of screaming, wild animals.
:39:43
Why bother about them?
They'll survive without me.
:39:46
- Who wants animals on the street?
- Lf I'm a lion tamer...
:39:49
...I should teach with a chair and whip.
:39:53
Yes. We at the university were to blame.
:39:55
We did not prepare teachers to teach
certain children of this generation.
:39:59
Tell me, Richard. Why do you want
to be a teacher? Just to earn a living?
:40:05
- No.
- It is easier, perhaps, than some other job?
:40:10
Easier?
:40:14
Perhaps you're dedicated.
:40:19
No, hardly. No, I wanna teach.
:40:22
Most of us wanna do something creative.
I can't be a painter, writer or engineer.
:40:26
But I thought that if I could help to shape
young minds, sort of sculpt lives...
:40:32
...and by teaching, I'd be creative.
- For every school like yours...
:40:36
...there are hundreds like this one. We could
use you, but your school needs you.
:40:41
You still want to teach here
in this school?
:40:50
I think I'll take another crack at my jungle.
