and that my duty to my home,
for instance...

:43:04
was, or should be
if it were not...

:43:06
of an equal weight.
:43:07
That tenure and security
and, yes, and comfort...

:43:12
were not of themselves
to be scorned...

:43:14
and were even worthy
of honorable pursuit.

:43:18
And that it was given me...
:43:20
here in this place
which I enjoy...

:43:22
and in which I find comfort
to assure myself...

:43:25
of, as far as it rests
in the material...

:43:28
a continuation
of that comfort and joy.

:43:31
In exchange for what?
:43:33
Teaching... which I love.
:43:41
What was the price
of this security?

:43:43
To obtain tenure,
which tenure...

:43:46
the committee is in the process
of granting me...

:43:48
and on the basis of which...
:43:50
I contracted
to purchase a house.

:43:56
Now.
:43:58
As you don't have
your own family at this point...

:44:01
you may not know
what that means...

:44:03
but to me,
it is very important...

:44:05
a home, a good home,
to raise my family.

:44:09
Now, the tenure committee
will meet.

:44:11
This is the process...
:44:13
and a good process,
under which...

:44:15
the school has functioned
for quite a long time.

:44:18
They will meet
and hear your complaint...

:44:21
which you have
the right to make...

:44:23
and they will dismiss it.
:44:25
They will dismiss
your complaint...

:44:27
and in
the intervening period...

:44:29
I will lose my house.
:44:32
I will not be able
to close on my house.

:44:34
I will lose my deposit.
:44:36
And the home I picked out
for my wife and son...

:44:40
will go by the boards.
:44:42
I see that I have angered you.
:44:45
I understand
your anger with teachers.

:44:47
I was angry with mine.
:44:49
I felt hurt
and humiliated by them...

:44:51
which is one of the reasons
I went into education.

:44:54
What do you want of me?
:44:57
I was hurt when
I received the report...
