I'm awesome.

No, you're not, dude. Don't lie.

I'm awesome. I'm driving around in my mom's ride. I'm awesome. A quarter of my

life gone by.

I'm awesome.

We all want the best education for our children, which is why many parents turn

to private school.

But is the high price tag really worth it? We're here at Xavier Academy to find

out if the private system is really worth the financial burden.

And you won't believe what we uncovered.

This is your Insider's Look.

She's leaving the plate.

Ah! Whitney Evans, Insider's Look. Come on inside. My name is Principal Robert

Cheely. Principal Robert Cheely was visibly smitten with his school and

to perceive our visit as a PR opportunity.

Here's our esteemed science teacher, Simon Hunt. Oh, please. My broccoli is

esteemed. I'm just a science teacher.

How does he do that?

Oh, and this is our little human ball of sunshine, Miss Corcoran. Oh, isn't it a

great day for teaching?

That's the spirit.

The Batman to my Robin, Vice Principal Dwyer.

The salt to my pepper, which isn't a racial statement because I'm the pepper,

oddly enough, in that he's a wonderful, very gifted educator who's made it

through a couple of very hard years.

We're proud of him.

Ex -wife got murdered, my girlfriend's in prison, and my dog ran away.

Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry.

What is your girlfriend in prison for?

I just told you. She murdered my ex -wife.

Yeah. But she's beautiful. You got to see her smile. Beautiful smile.

Who?

My girlfriend.

The one that killed your wife?

Ex -wife.

You got to keep up, Whitney.

Great stuff. So funny. Nobody.

Oh, who is that? Nobody.

I'm filming a movie.

Rob, I'm filming a movie.

What is that? But nobody's really a nobody.

And we wanted to get to the bottom of who this somebody really was.

Oh, I have class.

I have class.

Grade ones.

Can't leave them in the gym long.

To get answers, we needed someone from the inside to go undercover, dig around,

and unearth evidence.

But we knew that turning someone from their team was going to take some

convincing. Mr. Beshara, I'm Whitney Evans with your Insider's Look.

We're doing an investigative report on your colleague, Jerry Duncan.

We were wondering, this is a bit uncomfortable to ask you, but would you

willing to wear a hidden camera? Yes.

He chews me like shit.

With Mr. Bashara in the field, our investigative team had a whole new level

access. Hey, you know that kid Peter Hill?

Just came up to me and said, I want to be on the track team, sir.

Oh, is that right, Peter?

What am I supposed to say to him?

Why don't you lose 60 pounds, Peter?

Maybe grow four inches and learn how to run?

I'm a teacher, not a miracle worker.

What's with these kids?

You get it, right?

Wait here.

What are you doing? Get on the bench. I'll be right out.

Okay, I need you to strip down for me. Oh, my God.

Strip down. Take your stuff off.

That's creepy.

Good luck getting home, kid. This is when we realized that there was a bigger

discovery at play and that within the walls of Xavier Academy, we'd stumbled

upon the nation's worst teacher.

He told us that the Underground Railroad was a subway system.

He said there are only three religions in the world.

Christian, Muslim, and Jew. He said there were no gay people until 1980,

Elton John. He told us not to go swimming on that time of the month

sharks will come get us.

What, is that not right?

Oh, off you go.

There she is.

Busted me in front of our school's illustrious trophy cabinet.

What's in here? Just some of the spoils that come with a private school

education. This is...

Model United Nations. This one's first in rowing, which Xavier has a... Mr.

Sheely, if I may.

You may. We've uncovered some disconcerting data, and we're just

you would like to comment. The meatloaf in the cafeteria?

I'm disconcerted by it, too.

Here we go.

What's going on with this car?

Oh, sorry, Amanda Susan.

Um, that's a clip of Jerry.

Why don't you lose 60 pounds, Peter? There's another Jerry clip. Grow four

inches and learn how to run.

Ah, another Jerry clip. This is awfully Jerry -centric.

Um, did you use hidden cameras?

Okay, I need you to strip down for me. I thought this was supposed to be a puff

piece.

We're just looking for answers.

The interview's over. Excuse me. Mr. Chili, we're just looking for the truth.

That's all we want to know. Excuse me. Mr. Chili, we're just looking for the

truth.

It won't hurt that much.

Stay tuned.

You don't want to miss this.

We said we were reporting on the value of a private education, using Xavier

Academy as an example.

But as time went on, we stumbled onto a bigger problem.

Jerry Duncan.

I'm just going to step into Jerry Duncan's classroom.

It said, those who can't do, teach.

So what happens when those who can't do can't teach either?

The more we dug for answers...

The more questions emerged.

I got Mighty Ducks. I got Hoosiers.

Free Will 3. I don't even know how that's a trilogy.

Oh, hi.

Hi. I found my lesson plans for health class.

Oh, these are your lesson plans.

Yeah, I just find it's easier to show it, not say it.

So they look illegal. Are they pirated?

Teaching female menstruation right now.

Is there another kind? No, it's never fun for me to teach that, right? But I

think it's important that boys and girls understand it, right?

It's part of life, right? Part of female life, mostly.

So today, a little Raging Bull.

Oh, why Raging Bull?

Well, you know how women get when they're menstruating.

of his blood. My kids are waiting.

They're just by themselves?

Yeah. Where are they gonna go?

The first time we met, I liked them. But the more time we spent together, the

more I had concern for the children.

Which reminds me, let's not be releasing our kids earlier. I've had three phone

calls from parents in the last couple of days saying... We came to find that Mr.

Duncan slept a lot on the job.

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe he might have some sort of illness?

No. The guy's a disaster.

We're wondering if you'd be willing to tell us what you know about Jerry

Does latex burn?

Does it?

Let me just say, if you smell smoke, you might want to throttle down a gear.

What do you want?

Jerry. I mean, where to begin?

So you're talking to Trudy? This is great. She's the real core of this

Do you mind?

No.

I'd be happy to fill you in on that situation, too.

Let's just stick to Jerry for now.

Well, first of all, his course material is generally wildly inappropriate.

He taught us about lesbians.

Well, some might argue that that's actually pretty progressive of him.

Then he says I can't be one.

Well, Mr. Duncan has a point there, Philip. By definition, you can't... Do

get him started on this.

Don't go there.

No problem.

Then he taught us about prostitution.

Can you tell us what a crack whore is?

He turned a classroom into a sweatshop.

He had us make hundreds of bracelets.

I passed out.

My nose bled for a week.

So why were you making the bracelets?

Child labor's teeth.

Which reminds me, are we getting paid for this? Or are you also exploiting us?

Well, I mean...

He seems to exude an overall quality of, what's the word?

Incompetence. So you're surprised he's still teaching?

I'm surprised he's still breathing.

When Jerry coaches, we lose.

No, we get disqualified.

When Jerry coaches, we get disqualified.

So then why keep letting him coach?

Okay, let me explain something to you.

Coaching is a volunteer position, all right?

Sometimes the teachers that don't volunteer are the teachers you wish

volunteer. And the teachers that do volunteer are Jerry.

Oh, my God. Are you talking about me?

I heard my name.

Are you serious? I'm on TV right now. I'm glad this is being captured.

I am on TV right now.

How are you feeling right now?

It's on channel stupid.

Gary told Hot Sub Mary that... I'm sorry, who?

Hot Sub Mary? Usually substitute teachers are not hot. But Hot Sub Mary

crazy hot, so we called her... I get it. Go on.

Well, anyway, he told her that I had, and I quote, nothing going on

Which isn't true.

You tell me.

Oh, my God.

Spray painted us bright orange before a wrestling tournament.

Why?

To hide that he gave us an infectious disease.

Which one?

Ringworm.

It's common in wrestlers.

Good interview, guys.

The implication was confusing.

Jerry?

Well, he's not much of a reader.

You know what I mean?

To be honest, I just try to avoid him.

These days, if I run into him, I don't even say hi.

Not worth it.

Goddamn thing.

Gerard, I also promised Malik a job at charter school.

But there was no job.

No, no school.

Move your foot.

Oh, okay, okay.

I feel really guilty about this, so I'd rather Jerry doesn't know it's coming

from me. He is my friend, but I've gone along with a lot over the years.

Sometimes I do this thing where I don't get what's going on, like I'm a naive

man -child.

But I get it, Whitney.

I get it all.

Now, is that all you learned in Mr. D's classroom?

It's kind of hard to learn when you're constantly getting kicked out. You know,

it's all the time.

Oh, my God. Get out.

I'm punishing you. Bye.

I spent that time, you know, hanging out, you know, in the music room,

with the guitars, so I guess I did learn something.

Hmm. How's that working for you? This place sucks.

This place is hell on earth.

Oh, thank you.

It's really kind.

This place is a garbage dump.

Okay, bye.

You know, in his defense, he did try to catch a lurker once, which is a noble

goal.

Oh.

Oh, it's my mom. Oh, actually, shining the light at your face basically defeats

the whole purpose of the... Yeah, I'm just going to let this go to voicemail.

Okay.

No, you know what? I should take this. I'm just going to take this.

Mom?

Yeah, I'm just in the middle. I'm just in the middle of an interview. What's

going on?

You want me to bring home a sweet treat?

We can eat that after dinner?

Mama likes her sweet treats.

Loves it.

No, you hang up.

No, you hang up.

She hung up. She hung up.

In many ways, Jerry's just a criminal.

He used us as bait to catch the lurker. He made me say things so the lock can

try to take me.

Like what?

I'm all alone.

I like puppies.

Nobody's with me.

I'm cute and vulnerable.

Where's my mommy?

And how did that make you feel?

Expendables. We could tell pretty quickly that Jerry Duncan was a man not

for the world of education.

But what became increasingly clear is that this was also a man not suited for

society.

We caught up with one mom who had a particularly harrowing experience.

Mr. Duncan tried to snuff me out.

He thicked his goons on me.

You know, I was concerned for my little Zachy.

I expressed my feelings to Mr. Duncan in a friendly tete -a -tete.

Guess Mr. Duncan didn't like that.

He thought I was a problem, me.

So he wanted me to go away. Mr.

Duncan, oh, how good to see you.

My back hand just hasn't been the same since.

Now I have to play doubles.

If you can believe that.

That's Game Set Match on Xavier Academy's Education Nightmare.

Before the break, we tried to get some answers.

But our investigation faced some unexpected opposition.

Mr. Cheely? No, no. Mr.

Cheely? We're just looking for the truth. We just want some answers.

We're just looking for answers today.

Could have handled that a little better.

We're just going to start with some easy questions.

Softball. So, how is it possible that a man is incompetent and possibly

dangerous? Is Jerry Duncan able to retain a leadership position among young

children? Sorry, can you ask that question again? How is it possible that

is... incompetent, and possibly dangerous as Jerry Duncan, able to

leadership role among young children.

Can you repeat the question?

Is that the easy question?

It seems to me it could be easier.

Can I have a cigarette? No. Can you repeat the question, please? Why is it

possible that... Lisa Mason.

Excuse me?

Our temporary and our that's principal.

We fired Jerry Duncan.

She brought him back.

Fascinating. She also...

We took the obvious bait and tracked down Ms. Mason.

Ms. Mason, I'm Whitney Evans with your insider's look.

Hi. We're wondering if you have a few minutes to tell us about Mr. Jerry

That few minutes turned into a few hours.

Can I call you Whit? No, please don't. Whit, these past few years

have broken me. Guess who was there every step of the way?

On my way down to rock bottom.

Jerry Duncan.

Bingo.

Unfortunately, Miss Mason went down a rapid spiral that increasingly

her as a resource.

I'm a bartender. I need another drink.

Oh, if you want some dirt on Jerry, you gotta talk to Bill.

But he's just the bartender.

Oh, you're nice.

He and Jerry are best friends.

Well, that's a gross embellishment.

Why don't you just talk to Jerry? He'll give you everything you need.

It was time to confront the man himself and get to the bottom of this sordid

tale.

Mr. Duncan.

Change him up.

Oh, hey. Good morning.

If we might have a word with you. Yeah, finally.

That was a good one. Good nap.

Yeah? Well, I'm on spare, so... You're on spare? Yeah, so it's legal.

Like, it's allowed.

Oh. Like the Mexicans do it.

Siesta.

In one day only, we saw some of the worst cases of poor sportsmanship.

Cheating, roughhousing, showboating, winning at all costs.

And that was Mr. Duncan, not the students.

Unfortunately, that was only a small sample of the horrors our camera crew

captured during our investigation.

If this report has been shocking to you, consider it a warning.

Whatever benefits private schools claim to provide, let Xavier Academy be a

cautionary tale.

While many of the staff seemed questionable, one teacher's ineptitude

disregard stood leagues above the rest.

I love cats.

As a result of our findings, the school board launched a review into hiring

practices at Xavier, including a full and separate investigation into Mr.

Jerry Duncan, the nation's worst teacher.

For Insider's Look, I'm Whitney Evans.

Jesus.

Fake news.

And who's the guy playing me in the car hit scene?

I'd have been happy to play myself.

Why'd she get to play herself?

She didn't look anything like me. Important question.

And I'm pretty sure this whole thing's making him look worse than me right now.

Terrible. Garbage.

I'm not sure you grasp the severity of the situation here, Jerry.

Please, nobody watches this garbage.

It's Robert Shealy.

And pretty clearly pulling decent ratings, Jeff.

Hashtag not my teacher.

New life, new country, fresh start.

I'm going to miss Bill.

Bill's going to miss me.

Maybe I'll find a new Bill.

Japanese Bill.

How long is this line?

Hurry up. How long is this?

You're beautiful too, both of you.

I'll try to save us seats.

I'll move people around so we sit together.

It's all I can say.
