ApparentIy, none of you have ever
seen a new teacher before.
:06:31
I'm Mr. Simonet.
:06:33
WeIcome to the seventh grade.
:06:35
MiddIe schooI, that heIIish, shaky
bridge you aII must cross...
:06:40
...before you become members of that
undyingIy enviabIe high schooI eIite.
:06:45
You may think you can't cross
this bridge fast enough.
:06:49
You'd rather cIose your eyes and not
think about it untiI it's aII over.
:06:54
WeII, I'm here to teII you...
:06:56
...that is not an option
in this cIass.
:07:01
Lateness.
:07:05
Tardiness.
:07:06
To be Iate for your first cIass
on your first day of schooI.
:07:10
What does that indicate?
:07:13
I'm having a bad hair day?
:07:16
Perhaps what it indicates is
a Iack of respect.
:07:20
You see, I'm going to be here
every day for you.
:07:23
And so I expect you to be here for me.
:07:28
On time, no excuses.
:07:31
Put that down.
:07:33
Wait.
:07:37
Now...
:07:39
...this cIass is sociaI studies.
:07:42
That is you and the worId. Yes.
:07:46
There is a worId out there and even if
you don't want to meet it...
:07:50
...it's stiII going to hit you
right in the face.
:07:54
BeIieve me.
:07:57
Best start thinking about the worId
now and what it means to you.
