:06:02
You can't teach a disorderly mob.
:06:04
You got to have discipline,
and that means obedience.

:06:07
- How will you get that?
- With a ruler.

:06:09
Take a ruler to one of these delinquents,
he'll beat you with it.

:06:12
- Oh, my name's Murdock. New teacher?
- Yes. English. Richard Dadier.

:06:16
- Lou Savoldi. Carpentry.
- George Katz. Social science.

:06:18
I'm taking money under
the false pretense of teaching history.

:06:22
- Thought you developed their muscles.
- No. Developing my own.

:06:25
Getting in shape to defend myself
for the fall term.

:06:28
- Makes it sound like a reform school.
- Oh, first teaching job, eh?

:06:32
- That's right.
- Don't listen to him, he's a cynic.

:06:34
Why not? This is the garbage can
of the educational system.

:06:37
You put these schools
together and what have you got?

:06:40
One big, fat, overflowing garbage can.
:06:44
- Think of teaching in an all-girls school.
- Think of those 20-year jail sentences.

:06:49
Got any tips for a rookie?
:06:50
Two. Don't be a hero
and never turn your back on the class.

:06:55
- Manners.
- Huh?

:07:00
- How long have you been teaching here?
- Oh, 12 years.

:07:02
Two purple hearts and no salary increase.
:07:05
They hire fools like us
with college degrees...

:07:08
...to sit on that garbage can,
keep them in school.

:07:11
So women, for a few hours a day, can walk
around the city without getting attacked.

:07:15
Really?
:07:18
I mean, there must be some students
who wanna learn.

:07:24
You gonna teach them in that outfit?
:07:27
Because if those kids ever get a look at...
:07:30
Have you arranged with the National Guard
to escort you to class every day?

:07:34
Ladies and gentlemen,
your attention please.

:07:38
Your principal, Mr. Warneke.
:07:41
Welcome. Welcome to the old faces.
Welcome to the new faces.

:07:46
Miss Panucci.
:07:48
Say, these kids, they can't
all be bad, can they?

:07:52
No? Why?
