Teacher of the Year Page #7

---

... So, Alex has been improving lately,

but he does very little homework.

She says she doesn't

know what to do because...

...I lie and tell her that I did my homework,

but she can't check because

she doesn't speak any English.

Si.

Si.

Hey there.

People will say we're in love.

Parent-teacher conference, huh?

I don't miss those.

I didn't know you taught.

Oh, three years.

Wasn't for me.

Look, John, um,

I'm interested,

uh, I really am,

but I just...

I'm gonna need...

...a couple of days.

Well, my advice was to leave you alone,

let you make up your own mind,

but I got overruled.

In favor of what?

They told me to come right over here and...

...raise the offer to 150.

$150,000?

To start.

You're their number one draft pick, Mitch.

Look, you call me tomorrow.

Let me know what you wanna do.

Can I ask what you're thinking?

Uh, I'm thinking it's

an amazing opportunity.

I'm thinking it could change my life.

So what's the problem?

I'm trying to decide whether or not my...

...life needs changing.

You have to hear him out.

- Please.

I've heard this before.

This idea...

It's a great idea.

- Thank you, thank you.

Let's just stop right there, okay.

I'll tell you why it's a great idea,

because we have...

... the oldest, wealthiest,

healthiest generation...

...retiring now,

that are still useful.

That's right.

They can contribute.

My father,

my father is 70 years old,

he's a surgeon, they're

about to force him out of...

...the operating room.

What the hell's he gonna do?

He's gonna live another

40 years with today's...

...technology...

...They will not let that...

He's gonna go crazy.

He should be here,

teaching AP biology,

coaching the golf team

and making a contribution,

like he wants to.

Here's what's gonna happen with that idea.

Once you leave this building with an idea,

it's gonna go to the

bureaucracy, and once...

...they get ahold of it,

they're gonna shut it down.

Not when they realize it's feasible.

So, it's impossible to change.

It's impossible to change.

No, you need to start,

you need to change from within.

Thank you.

You need to... Hey, who's...

...the union rep? That's you.

Yeah.

So, we need to go...

...in through you...

... to get them to change the rules.

Exactly why I...

...No, I wouldn't say

I'm worried about Mitch.

I just wish he'd find more

ways to have fun with his job.

And how does the man begin

the act of intercourse?

Anybody? Lamont?

He puts his penis in her thing?

In her thing.

No, no.

It's called a vagina.

It's a lovely word.

Vagina. Vagina.

It's lovely.

How many jobs do you

know that you get paid to...

... make teenagers feel nauseous?

Kian, homework.

Oh, I... I couldn't do it, Mr. Carter.

It was raining.

What does that even mean?

Okay, guys, we have our

test on Wednesday,

so that means I need all your journal work.

Can I have some quiet, please?

Everybody, get quiet.

Quiet, please.

Marcus, if you don't

shut up, I'm gonna throw...

...you out that window.

Whatever, it's only two stories.

You guys are killing me.

You're killing me.

When his face turns all red like that,

he just cracks me up.

On Thursdays,

I have lunch duty...

...in the courtyard.

Uh, kids like to tell me what's going...

...on in their lives.

Really wish they'd stop doing that.

I cheated on my chemistry test.

He didn't even see.

Jenna and all her skanky friends still...

...talk crap about me.

I just think it's funny.

Can't get this itch on my left nut.

Ah, thanks for the update, Novak.

I appreciate that.

Audrey, do you need something?

I'm his girlfriend.

You're his girlfriend?

How is that possible?

Wow,

your students...

...are so into your class.

Well, don't sound so surprised.

No, no. It's just... It's

not... It's just, I've seen...

...the school's test scores.

And the history department's

are the lowest.

By quite a bit,

unfortunately.

Why do you think that is?

Our department lacks...

... depth.

So you can see here,

very clearly, where the...

...country was divided...

...during the Civil War.

Uh, fun fact,

Kentucky was sort of the Switzerland of,

uh, the Civil War...

... because they were neutral.

Uh, another fun fact,

uh, North Carolina is...

...where my parents live,

so... And, um,

the Mason-Dixon Line is...

...what actually divided the North and the...

...Guys, can you just please listen to me?

I'm really... Look, no...

...No one cares about this stuff, all right?

I'm not gonna pretend

that they do. You'll never...

...need to know this again.

But for today, I need you

to know this, all right?

I just... Can you just take

one standardized test...

...that says...

...you've learned anything

that I've taught you.

Just even like a 25%

would be enough for me...

...to keep my job and my

crappy little apartment...

...and I can drive my used Honda Civic...

...back to the house that

I cry myself to sleep in.

You know what, fine,

I will go to the...

...principal's office.

I will... Does that not

mean anything to you?

What do I say to this kid?

What do I say to her mother?

Try to pin them down

on something factual.

The only way this is all

gonna turn out well is if...

...you get the facts out.

And choose your words carefully.

As soon as you make a judgment on the...

...girl or her mother,

But I'm not just gonna

sit there and let Brian...

...get buried for something...

...I'm not telling you to.

Just remember that the parent...

... sees their child as an

extension of themselves.

There's nothing more

personal to them.

Right, right.

Oh, Brian Campbell, that

guy's going down hard.

It's gonna be ugly.

So glad I don't have to go to that meeting.

I have a colonoscopy this afternoon,

not really looking forward to that either.

It goes to show you

how much I do not want to go...

...to this meeting.

As he...

He didn't do it.

He's a predator.

He is not a predator.

You ever been to the teachers' lounge?

Yeah.

And you reach for the French vanilla...

...coffee creamer?

One time, he took it

from you as you guys were...

... both reaching at the same time.

And used it up.

That's not predatory.

And used it up.

That is not predatory.

I... I was fearing for my sexual well-being.

Oh, come on.

I'm praying for him.

Last night, I prayed for him.

Jackie.

She's being as

supportive as she can be.

'Cause I didn't do it.

Yeah, of course.

Still killing her on the inside.

And when they fire me...

Come on, man, you...

...don't know that.

Ron has to fire me.

It's what I would do.

Just try and keep it

together, please, all right?

My career.

It's over.

Hey.

What am I gonna do for a job?

Will you stop whining about the future...

...and focus on right now, okay?

Protect your family,

protect yourself.

It's not done.

Ah.

Ah.

I'm just gonna...

Can I...

Yeah, go, go,

we got time.

I'm just gonna...

... Go, go.

I'll be right back.

Sh*t.

I was doing a problem on the board...
