Cheaters Page #6

Synopsis: In the fall of 1994, a teacher at Chicago's run-down Steinmetz High recruits seven students for an academic decathlon team. They work long hours, preparing for the February regional event, won for ten straight years by a privileged, preppy school. Steinmetz finishes just well enough to be invited to the state meet. When a team member steals a copy of the state test, the teacher and kids face a dilemma: to remain honest, or to cheat and score a victory for kids in underfunded schools. When they do well, they must face a withering barrage of investigations, accusations, lawyers' lies, and reporters' intrusions. Is it all worth it? What lessons does cheating teach?

Let Satan does not abuse you make

because we know how it works.

Let it go, speak the truth.

Would you like to live in shame?

Air your heart.

You can not live a lie.

How do you fill that hole? This can

only the truth, Dominik.

Tell me the truth.

Have you cheated?

You have deadlines,

so I keep it short.

The Steinmetz team admitted.

This is the confession

of a team ...

who admits that he stole

key has been received.

He says Dr. Plecki team

has instructed.

Plecki, the key is not stolen,

but let his team 's use.

The conspirators had him

into their mouths.

We therefore consider

Dr. Plecki to accuse ...

of conspiracy and fraud, theft

of a scholarship and perjury.

How has he got them so far?

- The group is very important.

It is a kind of sect

with Dr. Plecki leader.

He has brainwashed

and this encouraged.

I am the worst rapists

and murderers worked ...

but these children were the best

liars I've ever seen.

It was just scary.

Mr. Marconi is one of the teams

a bisexual witch?

I can say nothing about that part

of the investigation.

There is a sexual relationship

between Dr. Plecki and a student.

I can not say.

Where is Dr. Plecki now?

- I do not know where it ends.

Cheating is a serious offense

in each school.

I not tolerate in this system.

Not teachers, not by others.

That teacher is responsible.

They should fire him.

It shows how the lot

is degraded.

Formerly such a neck crime.

Integrity was paramount.

He has no moral sense.

I had a bad feeling

about Jerry. There was something wrong.

Children who are late at night in and out

ran. They were sometimes at night.

A crisis team will assist

to pupils and teachers.

Steinmetz The school is excited.

- There is dirty traitor.

How could you do?

How could you betray as children?

That's it, mother.

- Yes, it is.

Teachers teach children not to cheat.

- That they did not learn.

Yes. Someone had

they say that the error was.

Your father was so proud

when your teacher was.

It did not matter how much you

earned. He was proud of you.

He led an honest life.

- Yes, and he was belazerd.

He was so naive to think that he

hard work would come.

No, it was a question that you would come.

So he worked so hard.

For you have opportunities.

So he worked in that factory ...

and he was breathing in diesel fumes.

- He became ill and flew there immediately.

They took him off his pension and his

insurance. They have him murdered.

That was the reward he got

for all that hard work.

Listen to me.

Whatever happened with your father ...

he never used it as an excuse

to remedy what was wrong.

You are not the victim, Jerry.

What you did was wrong.

You can in no way

good talk.

Guys, I ga tonight.

The only question is whether they have me go

lynch or be burnt up.

I want to go to a friendlier place

where no price on my head.

Have you already thought to Somalia?

No. We have made mistakes.

- Yes, let us address.

No, it is not caught

and punished.

I see

as civil disobedience.

Maybe that was wrong and

I offer you my apologies.

I do not know. Sometimes you rules

Breaking them to change.

There will be some change.

The key steal is difficult.

- Probably, yes.

They must also justify

the same team wins every year ...

and that good education is only

played by a small elite.

But I want you all this

you leave behind.

If they ask,

tell you that I have stolen the key.

I have forced you to work

look. I have threatened you.

Because my career is over.

Those of you starts only now.

Here, we have something for you

A little.

Thank you very much.

Dear Dr. Plecki,

We have learned much from you.

You were the best teacher we had.

The decathlon team of 1994-'95.

They were children. This' n adult

For me school spiekt everyone.

It is normal.

In addition to drug users.

They give no figures.

I am successful

with a ten math.

People ask me if I

on hindsight would.

I answer always the same:

sure.

I have learned more

during those nine months decathlon ...

than most people

throughout their lives.

When the media siege was lifted,

we returned back to school.

We had the reputation of Steinmetz

harmed. As if that could be.

We had to write about ethics.

Matt wrote the autobiography

the Dalai Lama on. That was fun.

And when we each

They declare me crazy,

but I am not.

And I'm not so good

to apologize.

I have my final year half asleep

done. If I was not so.

I have Dr. Plecki not seen

since that day.

I heard something about a company.

I considered him to look ...

but I have never done.

We see each other when the time is ripe.

Yes, I am.

I study at a university.

Just as well. Plecki had promised.

The admission committee found the

decathlon my character was strengthened.

I get good grades.

And no, I do not peek.

Do not laugh, but I think it

to be a teacher.

There is no better work

than the formation of young people.

If I see one of my students

cheating, I report the bastard.

But if they can swindle me,

they are ready for the real world.

I would not otherwise want.
