a lot of social problems.

- Now, is that a load of bull or what?

- No!

- So teach.

"She decided that if Brian broke a rule

she would utilize these consequences:

The first time he broke a rule

his name would be put on the board."

This is the life

This is the life

This is the life

- Come on

- Put your back into it

- Come on

- Put your back into it

with you, Miss Johnson.

I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed

to touch a student.

if you can't touch me.

Okay, anybody else know

Wait, wait, wait. Whoa!

You guys don't know sh*t.

- "I don't know sh*t," man.

I know what I'm doin', lady.

- You don't even know any throws.

Now, I heard that a Marine

can kill a man with his, uh,

Absolutely.
