Mr. O'malley, i can't
believe you're that bad.
1:02:04
I'll give you a chance
to revitalize your image.
1:02:07
Set up a student-peer
tutoring program.
1:02:10
Maybe the students
can help themselves.
1:02:12
Lord knows, you teachers
aren't doing the job.
1:02:15
Ms. Levias, i want
remedial reading on saturdays.
1:02:18
Volunteers will get
regular pay.
1:02:20
We can't afford
overtime.
1:02:22
Mr. Clark, the problem
isn't our pay.
1:02:25
What is the problem
as you see it?
1:02:27
How to get the students
in on saturday.
1:02:30
You hear that, people?
1:02:32
How do we get the students
in on saturdays
1:02:35
for remedial reading?
1:02:37
I'll tell you how.
1:02:38
We'll go to their homes.
1:02:40
We'll talk to their folks.
1:02:42
If their folks
can't read,
1:02:44
they can come in, too.
1:02:47
The only way
we'll get anything done
1:02:50
is to get everyone
involved.
1:02:52
And that goes
for all of you!
1:02:55
It's time
to get involved.
1:02:59
Everyone in this section,
1:03:01
put both your hands
above your heads.
1:03:03
Raise your hands!
1:03:05
Put them up!
1:03:13
You people represent
the 70% of our students
1:03:16
who just failed
the practice exam.
1:03:19
70%!
1:03:21
But that is not
their failure.
1:03:24
I don't blame them.
1:03:28
The failure is yours.
1:03:30
That's right, yours.
1:03:34
How many hours do you spend
preparing your lesson plans?
1:03:37
How often do you
stay after school
1:03:40
to give those children-
1:03:42
the ones
you know need it-
1:03:44
the extra help
that they require?
1:03:47
Keep your hands up.
1:03:49
Now you're getting a hint
of the hopelessness and shame
1:03:54
that makes those
failing students
1:03:55
throw up their hands
1:03:57
at the thought
of facing a world
