She actually frightens them. 69 00:05:37,950 --> 00:05:39,390 That is ridiculous. 70 00:05:39,970 --> 00:05:42,330 I got an earful in the general store today. 71 00:05:42,730 --> 00:05:46,560 Half the parents in town are... upset and angry. They can't all be wrong. 72 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,840 The children aren't the problem. 73 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,440 It's your sister. 74 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,260 Oh, isn't it always? 75 00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:57,600 We should do something. 76 00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:03,480 Right now, Janet, I am going to get some sleep. 77 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,940 Now, the first order of business is to elect a new member to the school board. 78 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,600 Are there any nominations? 79 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,520 Or, indeed, volunteers for this challenging position. 80 00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:19,000 I don't say it's a challenge. 81 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:21,080 Well, there must be someone. 82 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,160 Mrs. Potts.

It was a disastrous... Stop with it. I nominate 86 00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:39,260 King. I second the nomination. 87 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,520 Yes, Alec King. 88 00:06:46,350 --> 00:06:49,170 Apparently it's unanimous, Alec. Congratulations. 89 00:06:49,450 --> 00:06:52,270 We all know that you'll hold up your end, Alec King. 90 00:06:52,530 --> 00:06:54,730 I think you have no option but to accept. 91 00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:55,950 That's what. 92 00:06:56,930 --> 00:06:58,310 I don't know what to say. 93 00:06:58,590 --> 00:06:59,930 Thank you. I'll do my best. 94 00:07:01,510 --> 00:07:04,990 There is one matter I would like to discuss. 95 00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:10,610 Alec, there are rules to abide by, you know, an agenda. 96 00:07:11,050 --> 00:07:13,330 Forget the rules. I want to hear what Alec has to say. 97 00:07:13,870 --> 00:07:14,870 Thank you. 98 00:07:15,690 --> 00:07:22,510 Hedy, I believe that you are an exceptional teacher, and with many 99 00:07:22,510 --> 00:07:28,210 years' experience, and you've done an exceptional job, but sometimes I think 100 00:07:28,210 --> 00:07:30,670 that you expect too much from the students. 101 00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:32,110 Oh, 102 00:07:32,230 --> 00:07:35,430 it's just that which students do you have in mind? 103 00:07:35,850 --> 00:07:37,210 As if I couldn't guess. 104 00:07:37,410 --> 00:07:41,010 That's not the point. You think children are all the same, that they all learn 105 00:07:41,010 --> 00:07:42,010 the same, and it's not so. 106 00:07:42,510 --> 00:07:47,230 They're not all peas in a pod. You could help them more. You could try new 107 00:07:47,230 --> 00:07:49,890 approaches. Modern methods, that's what I say. 108 00:07:50,530 --> 00:07:56,690 My teaching methods are based firmly on the classical principles of education. 109 00:07:57,090 --> 00:08:00,590 I clearly have not the slightest idea of that which you speak. 110 00:08:01,370 --> 00:08:05,990 I knew it was a mistake to try to talk to you. If the three R's are good enough 111 00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:10,390 for the rest of the country, dare say they'll have to suffice for Avonlea. 112 00:08:10,770 --> 00:08:11,770 The three R's? 113 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,260 There's more to education than recitation, repetition, and repression. 114 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,399 Yes, exactly. 115 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,220 You tell her. You tell her she had three months to improve her performance like 116 00:08:21,220 --> 00:08:24,020 she told my Jane. We want an open discussion. 117 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,900 More say in our children's education. 118 00:08:26,140 --> 00:08:27,560 We have rights. They're our children. 119 00:08:27,820 --> 00:08:28,820 Order! 120 00:08:29,620 --> 00:08:34,500 Well, Hetty King, I think everyone's made the position crystal clear. 121 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,320 Yes, quite clear. Thank you, Rachel. 122 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,320 Well, if... 123 00:08:39,870 --> 00:08:46,270 I have lost the support of the school board, as it appears. Then I can no 124 00:08:46,270 --> 00:08:47,290 teach in Lavenly. 125 00:08:52,470 --> 00:08:55,030 I hereby tender my resignation. 126 00:09:14,250 --> 00:09:18,230 An awful situation. I never dreamed she'd quit. Your own sister, how could 127 00:09:18,310 --> 00:09:20,310 Oh, you were the one who said we had to do something. 128 00:09:20,570 --> 00:09:23,210 Well, I never meant for you to take her job away. I only meant for you to make 129 00:09:23,210 --> 00:09:26,570 her see reason. It was her decision entirely, a professional disagreement. 130 00:09:27,370 --> 00:09:28,470 Who's going to teach school? 131 00:09:28,950 --> 00:09:31,410 Anyone would be better than Aunt Hattie. Felix. 132 00:09:31,830 --> 00:09:35,810 Look, don't worry, Janet. I've organized a search. I'm placing an advertisement 133 00:09:35,810 --> 00:09:37,110 in the Charlottetown newspaper. 134 00:09:37,970 --> 00:09:38,970 Who? 135 00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:43,250 Well, I did teach at Kingston for 15 years. 136 00:09:44,370 --> 00:09:47,170 Mrs. Lynde, could you sit up straight? 137 00:09:48,010 --> 00:09:50,330 Mr. Gilly, stop playing with that pencil. 138 00:09:50,810 --> 00:09:53,370 Mr. King, pay attention. 139 00:09:54,050 --> 00:09:55,670 Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Kingston. 140 00:09:56,290 --> 00:10:01,590 Now, as I was saying, I did teach at Kingston for 15 years, and you would 141 00:10:01,590 --> 00:10:05,590 checked my credentials.
