Teacher of the Year Page #3

---

I think you can tell he's doing a pretty...

...good job all by himself.

You're not hiding the cell phones from me.

You know you're getting detention.

And you still have the cell phones out.

No, yeah, I'm just the garbage man,

you know.

Someone sees a future

ahead of them, but you...

...still have yours out.

Put the cell phones away.

Put the cell phones away.

As you probably saw,

we had a little kerfuffle...

...this morning...

... between a couple of our young men.

Uh, not their first go-round.

But let me tell you,

it better be their last.

Because one more infraction, and...

...they're out of here.

You get in a fight this

morning, you're back...

...in class this afternoon.

How's that work?

I don't know.

Wanna tell me what it was about?

Boy, I hope that's not

true, I mean if you're...

...gonna hit somebody,

you better have a reason.

I got a reason.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure it's excellent.

Aren't we gonna be late?

Yeah, hurry up.

Late for what?

Uh, soccer practice.

This is the first year Truman's fielded...

...a varsity soccer team.

Although I'm not sure

you can call this soccer.

I'd like to see us win a game.

Or maybe just score

a goal. That'd be nice.

Most days I'd settle for

a practice field with grass.

Okay, shake it off, Derek.

Hey, you're California

Teacher of the Year. These...

...guys know who you are.

What? You're telling me that you didn't...

...recommend me?

Absolutely I did,

but they'd already seen

the article in The Times,

picture of your family.

They asked me about you.

The National Independent

School Association sent...

...you to come get me.

This is what I'm telling you, yeah.

To lobby for them.

What the hell do.

I know about lobbying?

Well, it's not like you'll be the...

...only one. It's a team.

A veteran teacher who's

had success in both public...

...and private classrooms.

To do what?

To go on TV, uh,

make speeches, appear...

...at schools, symposiums.

They want you to be the new face...

...of independent schools.

And 120,000 to start.

Are you... Are you serious?

To start.

Plus an expense account,

moving expenses,

unbelievable health benefits.

Uh, moving expenses.

Well, uh, we're in D.C.

about two weeks each month.

Some people decide to just move out...

...there, some don't.

Ah, D.C., I don't know if I can do that.

Like I said, some don't. I didn't.

And you don't have to decide right away.

So this is a job offer?

It's not a job interview?

Well, you're gonna

have to meet with the NISA...

...director, Ellen Behr,

but, honestly, the way she talks about you,

I think she just wants your autograph.

Are you interested in that job?
