:57:02
The tragedy is, the school system
has done a rotten job.
:57:06
It hasn't taught the children,
especially ghetto children...
:57:09
...how to think through a problem,
how to figure out what the problem is...
:57:14
...and how to pick
the right tools to solve it.
:57:16
Because life is a series of problems.
:57:19
But I think the street is
teaching them how to solve problems.
:57:24
I mean, not about a job, maybe,
but about hustling to survive, you know.
:57:29
Well, myself, I know about that.
:57:34
But these kids don't know jobs or hustling.
That's why they're here.
:57:40
Anyway, street hustling is not an action.
It's a reaction.
:57:44
It's accepting second-class status.
:57:48
Still, the whole question
of finding jobs for them gets to me.
:57:52
They should have been gotten to,
given the proper direction...
:57:55
...when they were 3, 4, 5.
:57:58
And here they are at 17, 18...
:58:00
...and here we are,
with a few thousand dollars...
:58:04
...trying to clean up
the damage, the mess...
:58:07
...the schools have spent millions to make.
:58:15
Maybe you're right.
Maybe it is too little too late.
:58:19
But then, there must be some other....
:58:23
A different kind of approach.
:58:27
Mr. Durrell, they need so much.
:58:31
Now, I'm a woman.
I mean, I'm not a very strong woman...
:58:35
...and you're a man,
and you're black and successful.
:58:39
Well, you could....
Whatever you could come up with...
:58:44
...try. Try, please.
:58:51
Sarah, you're good people.
:58:59
All right.
