Your mother came by today.
Have you spoken to her lately?
No.
Now, you tell her
I'm fine?
You always say you're fine, but
I know you hide things from me.
You've always been closed off.
Ever since you were a kid.
Why is that?
Why?
Ah, you're upset. I shouldn't
say these things to you...
- I don't mean to make you...

who may fail to develop even
the most basic feeling for people.

Faulkner from required reading list.

the safety of his sabbatical,
You can do no more harm.

Who knows, and who cares.
"Hello"
"It's drudgery, this life"
"and retention"
"suspension, expulsion"
"staff meetings"
"The Papers cuts"
"The vacant parents"
"Their vicious kids"
"Theye're the dreads
of the pain"
"They spat on my soul"
"This humiliation will stop"
"Discipline must be restored,
these kids have us on the run."
" We're the ones on trial!"
" It's f***ing madness! "
"Like every child has value? "
a private education"
"F***ing kids who have
no desires,"
"no fire..."
"No minds to be..."
" Assimilate "
What does that mean?
To take something in.
OK, excellent. To absorb.
" Ubiquitous "
Anyone?
Everywhere, all the time.
So what...
"ubiquitous assimilation"
Always absorbing everything
everywhere all the time.
Well done, George.

I need surgery
to be pretty.
I need to be thin
