:23:01
- lt was kind of big.
- lt sure was!
:23:09
l don´t think we really
have to worry about him.
:23:11
The point is, once they see us
they´ll realize...
:23:14
that we´re fine
and the kid is fine.
:23:26
l think we have to be very careful
about Kevin´s educational environment.
:23:31
Absolutely.
:23:33
With that in mind, l don´t think
Kevin should come back here next fall.
:23:37
l recommend that he
be transferred to a school...
:23:40
that offers
special education classes.
:23:45
You mean,
because he´s so smart?
:23:47
Well, actually, l mean a class
for children with emotional problems.
:23:57
Hi. l´m sorry l´m late.
:23:59
You must be the Buckmans.
l´m Dr. Jeffrey Lucas.
:24:02
Dr. Lucas is a child psychologist.
:24:05
He´s been observing Kevin
for the last couple of months.
:24:10
Why?
:24:12
Mr. Buckman, this is a public school.
Thirty-eight kids to a class.
:24:18
We estimate that Kevin´s teacher
spent at least...
:24:21
20% of her time dealing with Kevin.
:24:24
That class is going to finish
the year behind. lt isn´t fair.
:24:28
Kevin is a very sweet, sensitive,
extremely tense little boy.
:24:34
He needs some special attention.
:24:38
- lt´s ´cause he was first.
- Hmm?
:24:40
lt´s because he was our first.
:24:43
l mean, l think we were very tense
when Kevin was little.
:24:46
lf he got a scratch,
we were hysterical.
:24:49
By the third kid, you know,
you let them juggle knives.
:24:53
On the other hand, Kevin may
have been like this in the womb.
:24:56
Recent studies indicate that
these things are all chemical.
