:45:01
Were a new generation
ofteachers, right ?
:45:03
Its time we shook things up
a little.
:45:05
I hearyou, brother.
In fact, dig this.
:45:07
I was meditating to that new
Ravi Shankar album last night...
:45:10
when I got
this righteous notion--
:45:12
What ifwe hold all our classes outside,
on the playground ?
:45:15
Imagine-- school, recess.
No boundaries.
:45:19
Hey, baby, thats a hip idea,
but I got a better thought here.
:45:23
As my first official act
as principal,
:45:25
Ive decided...
to get rid ofrecess.
:45:30
What ? No recess ?
:45:32
But, Phil, for a kid,
recess is like a major play-in.
:45:35
Its the one time ofday
they have any freedom.
:45:37
[ Sighs ]
Look, Pete,
:45:39
the 60s are over.
:45:41
All that peace and love
and freedom stuff, it was great
for pickin up chicks,
:45:45
but its not gonna
help my career.
:45:48
To do that, I gotta
make test scores go up,
:45:51
and to make test scores go up, I gotta
keep kids in class where they belong.
:45:55
Thats why, starting tomorrow,
I am tuning out recess...
:45:59
once and for all.
:46:01

:46:26

:46:31

- [ Shouting Stops ]
:46:35
Mr. Prickly here has informed me
ofthis no recess proposal.
:46:39
Let me assureyou that
as long as Im superintendent,
:46:42
this radical plan will never
be carried out in this district.
:46:45
