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.

:25:01
She smoked grass.
:25:05
- l never smoked when l was pregnant.
- ln college, you were like a chimney--

:25:08
Fifteen years ago.
:25:10
There could have been
some chromosome distortion.

:25:12
Well, you let them do anything.
:25:15
You let them watch TV
just like that.

:25:18
So we´ll put the TV´s in the garbage,
and we´ll perform Shakespeare--

:25:30
l´m sorry.
:25:33
l´m just a little
thrown off by this.

:25:41
You should not look upon Kevin´s
going to a special school...

:25:44
as any kind of failure
on your part.

:25:48
No, l´ll blame the dog.
:25:51
ln an educational environment
that´s more sensitive to his needs.

:25:55
First of all, Kevin is not going
to a special school.

:25:58
Whether it´s right or not,
there´s a stigma.
