-Good. -Frank. Subbing for a few days.

-I'm Gerry, Frank. Listen, I just saw where you parked.

But, we have a handicap spot right up front.

-I appreciate that, but I just want to be treated like everyone else.

So, regular parking's fine for me. -Alright.

Well let me get the door for ya. -I got it.

-Okay, well I'll... -[Frank]: No.

Look at the picture. Do I look like I'm in a wheelchair?

-No, you don't. -No. After you.

-Alright, thanks Frank, see you later.

-Sir, you can't be on your cell phone.

-It's school business. -It's a policy here.

We're not allowed phone calls, Sir.

-I understand that but it's official school business.

-He's not allowed to talk. -Please don't do that.

-He's not allowed to be on the phone. -Yeah, no, okay.

-Okay, see you later George. Thanks, I gotta go.

-No, that's not me. That's... -No it is, I'm taking off now.

-I'm going to call you right back, I'll call you right back.

-Aren't you a little old to be a hall monitor? -Oh, that's funny.

You are talking to the principal of this establishment, my friend.

And I'd like to know what you're doing in my school?

Wearing in a suit when there's children running around?

-I'm with the school board. -So you know I'm not the...

-Principal? -Yeah.

-Yeah. -You can talk on your phone.

But you gotta make it less obvious. I hide in the corner.

Talk like that. -Thanks for the tip there Mr...?

-Dwyer. Paul Dwyer.

-Oh! You're Paul Dwyer? -I am.

-I've heard a lot of good things about you.

-Yeah. Anyway I've got to go, I'm late for a meeting, see you.

-Keep up the charity work, there, Paul.

-Thank you all for your patience.

Just a couple more things and I'll get you out of here.

-[Whispers]: I heard this was optional, so...slide over.

-[Bobbi]: No. -Slide over. -[Bobbi]: No, there's no room.

-Simon, just let me...slide over a little. Just slide over!

-No! No!

-Nice of you to join us Mr. Duncan.

-Hey, I want to talk to you about volleyball. -No! Not now.

-Alright, just one last piece of business. Paul?

-I've been thinking, this season, let's try to expand the recycling program.

-[Quietly]: Why don't we just pull up the football field and plant a bunch of trees Paul?

-So, I put bins together. You got some for plastic, cardboard, glass, styrofoam.

-Ah, did you put a bin together for regular garbage Paul?

Like, ah, food and napkins? -That's called compost.

[Laughter]

-Yes! Okay, up top.

-Okay, I think that about covers it. Teach hard everyone.

Alright, Mr. Duncan, Ms. Mason, my office, 20 minutes.

-For, for? -[Simon]: Ooooh!

-You done? -Yes, yes I am done.

[Malik humming] -Mr. Malik!

-I have this name. -The grass outside is looking shaggy.

You need to go outside and deal with it.

-I will cut plants. But first...

[Yawns loudly]

Malik take break.

-Morning Robert. Cracking the whip early this morning?

Without any success I might add. -How so?

That was successful. Malik knows who's in charge.

-Yeah, Callaghan. -Yeah, and when Callaghan's not here. It's me. Okay?

-Oh Robert. To be a great leader you need to inspire fear.

Callaghan is effective because people are afraid of him.

No one's afraid of you Robert. -Oh is that so?

Because I swear on all known gods I will rip your head off

your body and use it as a tennis ball for my pure enjoyment.

-If you don't get your finger out of my face, I'm gonna have to break it.

-Can I try one again without the finger? -Nope.

-Gerry Duncan, Lisa Mason. Jody Green from the school board.

-Gerry Duncan? Not Paul Dwyer? -Sir, Mr. Brown here was...

-Mr. Green. -Oh god. Ah, Gerry.

-What did I say? What did I say? -What did I do? What did I say?

-You said Mr. Brown, but I'm Mr. Green.

Mr. Green here was on his cell phone and I thought he was lurking.

-Yes, I met the principal earlier.

-I do a lot of, I do a lot of impersonations.

-It's really nice to meet you, Mr. Green.

-It's a pleasure, Ms. Mason. -[Lisa]: Yeah, love to hear more about that.

-Okay, you know what? Why are we here? -Please sit down.

I just wanted to give you guys a head's up that Jody is going to

be evaluating you both, the next couple of days.

The board likes to evaluate all new teachers the first couple of years.

Just to make sure you're off to a good start. It's standard.

-What happens if we get a bad evaluation?

-Well, you might have to do additional qualification courses.

Or! You could always get fired.

-Fi...Fired?

Sir, that's ridiculous, one persons...

What if he has a different teaching style than I do?

And I have a very modern approach that the kids can relate to.

It's not in any books or anything.

-As long as you're aware of the paradigm shifts taking place in the education world.

You should be okay. -Yeah.

-Obviously, we all do that. So, it's good.

-Good. Mike. -Jody.

-[Jody]: I look forward to seeing your class, Ms. Mason.

-[Lisa]: Yes. -[Jody]: Lovely to meet you.

-I'm very excited. Thank you. -[Callaghan]: Alright then.

-He's so nice. -It's because he smiled at you.

Come on Sir, we're going to let one person decide our fate here?

This is ridiculous. -Duncan, look, listen...

I like you. I really do. Despite all your shortcomings.

But I gotta tell you if he gives you a poor evaluation I'll have no choice,

but to accept the board's recommendation.

You have to bring your A game. -Okay.

Sir, I saw you were looking right at me there.

So now let's give Lisa her little speech.

-Okay, thanks. -Thank you. Great opportunity.

-[Callaghan]: It is. -How come I got a one on one speech?

But how come?

♪ Music

-[Trudy]: Hi Norman.

Nice to have you back. How was your stress leave?

-I do feel better. -Good.

Well, bienvenue chez nous. -I teach french.

I don't speak it. Capiche?!

-Yup. -Gym teachers.

-Wow. -Oh, he's much better.

So, you and Craig, you left him, what is this nine times?

-No, it's eight but it's different now because I feel like...

-Ms. Galka, my office. Now! -...he really hears me now.

Right? So nine, eight who cares right? At that point it doesn't...

-Bobbi! -What?

-I asked if I could see you in my office, please!

-Ugh, I'm kind of busy right now.

But why don't you just drop by my phys-ed office if you need to talk to me? God.

And I think that's a big step. -It's a date!

-And I feel like, sometimes when he doesn't hear me it makes me want to like...shake him!

-Alright, special visitor today, Mr. Green, from the board of education.

Who is here to assess and observe my teaching style.

And perhaps pass on some of the ways I teach to future generations of younger teachers.

So, thank you Mr. Green. It is an honour to be be chosen for this project.

Actually I'm here to evaluate Mr. Duncan.

And make sure he's progressing properly as a new teacher.

-I'm not really new. I've been subbing for years. So...

-Right. -Well what happens if Mr. Duncan gets a bad review?

-Well then we probably just get a new teacher.

[Class laughs] -Get out Jimmy.

-I'm just kidding. -Out.

Insubordination, I do not tolerate. So write that down.

-[Jody]: Where does he go? -I don't know. He's a big boy, he'll make his own choices.

-What if he gets hit by a car? -Then that's a bad choice. Okay.

-I'm going to go to the back of the class now. -[Gerry]: Okay.

-If I could just get a students notebook or something.

-[Gerry]: Yeah, not his. That's not the one we want to take.

Maya, can I borrow your notebook?

-I'm actually using this for a class. -Maya, can I just borrow that?

Uhah, not using it. -Thank you, I think.

-[Maya]: No problem. -A lot of that is information I've given her from my lessons.

That are very prepared. Alright, let's pick up things from last class.

Where were we in our lesson?

-You were telling us about your first high school girlfriend.

You and Bethany hit a rough patch.

[Gerry]: Bethany and I hit a rough patch. So the story continues...

-Sorry, is this part of today's lesson?

-The start, I always do a little story, so...

But Bethany, let me tell you about the break up because, totally her fault.

-Sorry, ah, I'm going to need to get your course syllabus and your lesson plans.

If I can get that tomorrow? -Tomor...tomorrow?

One day. ♪ Music

-Wow, you're still at it? -Yeah.

I gotta have short term lesson plans, long term lesson plans.

It's a lot of work. -Didn't you already have a lesson planned?

-Not written down Bill. In my head.

That's where my lessons are when I teach.

They are in my head. But now I have to write them on paper for this evaluator.

Why do I explain this to you? -Are you the only one getting evaluated?

-No, Lisa too, but she's got nothing to worry about.

-She's so hot. What's her deal? -Bill.

-Is she single? Or...?

-Are you done? I gotta finish this.

-Why don't you try being a good teacher? -I am a good teacher.

-I'm a very good teacher. Now, get out of here.

-Right, well I gotta wake up late tomorrow, so I'm going to get that started.

-You want to leave Lisa's number on the fridge?

-You have no chance with Lisa, Bill. She's not your type.

She has ambition.

High five for yourself.

-Mr. Leung! -Yeah.

Begin.

-Mr. Leung this library's being run as little more than a social club.

And it will stop. Do you understand me?

-This library facility is being run perfectly.

-Is that so? -You are so weak.

-Wayne, everyone's so intimidated by you.

How do I do that? -Fear is from within.

Other's must doubt themselves in your presence.

-But how do I implement that?

-[Loud whisper]: Your mother and your father never loved you.

-Have you been reading my diar...

You're doing it now.

-Get out of my library, you idiot.

-Thank you. Dumbeyes.

-Bobbi, I don't want to coach little girls basketball anymore.

Simon can handle it himself.

-No, you are not having the senior boys vollyball team.

Okay? The girls like you and you didn't even win one game last year.

-We won a game. -Okay, one game.

-So what, did you see the team I have?

-How's your evaluation going? -Oh, I don't know.

-He can be pretty tough. -I know.

-He gave me a pretty hard evaluation last year.

Can't imagine how bad yours is going to be.

-Oh, is that right? -Yeah.

-Hey, Mr. Green? Here's the stuff you were looking for.

-Thank you. -Okay, well...

-[Dwyer]: Uhoh, here comes trouble. -[Jody]: Hey!! Look at this.

-[Dwyer]: How you doin' bro? -How are you?

-[Dwyer]: Good to see you. -[Gerry]: Good, good.

-Haven't seen you in awhile, since your evaluation.

You know, this guys a legend at the board? You need to know.

-Nice, for now. -Nobody's scored higher on their evaluation.

-Ahhh, yet. -What's your new charity you're working with?

-I got a couple things, you know what? Let's talk about it over lunch.

-[Gerry]: I gotta get involved. -[Jody]: Yeah, let's do that.

-I could do lunch, I'm kind of hungry. Yeah, let's go have some lunch.

I'll see you at third period. -Okay, alright.

-Mr. Hunt! -Yeah?

-This is my school and you will listen.

You're on thin ice here at Xavier, pal.

-Am I? -You are uninvolved in student extra curricular activities Sir.

-I'm the assistant coach of the five/six girls basketball team.

-Assistant? -Yeah.

-Exactly. So I think it's clear, what you need to do.

-Okay. I'll get you my resignation by the end of today.

-That's not what I mean. I just mean you have to try harder. Crack the whip.

Well, I've been working as hard as I can and it's obviously not even close to being good enough.

I'll resign. -Simon, no, you're one of the best teachers we have.

-I knew this day would come. My mom told me there was no future in science.

She begged me to pursue spanish. -You need to respect me.

-Really? -And between us girls...

You should probably even ask for a raise.

-Respect you and I get a raise. I'll think about it.

-Hey Frank, let me grab you a coffee, buddy.

-Why don't I get you a coffee? -That's alright, I'll...

-[Frank]: Back it up.

A lot of hot teachers at this school.

-Yeah, I guess. -That Lisa's pretty cute.

-Yeah. -She single?

-She is, yup. -Might have to tap that. Milk? Sugar?

-Alright, Lucy, do you want to tell us what we were talking about last class?

And we'll pick it up from there. -We were talking about ancient Egypt.

-Ah, yes. That's right. Egypt!

The pyramids. One of the great wonders of the world.

Walk like an Egyptian. Great song of the world.

-How did they build the pyramids Sir?

-From the ground up. Into a pyramid.

That is where the word pyramid comes from.

They built them with some plans they had, some schemes. In fact!

The pyramid scheme as we know it today in the business world, comes from those same plans.

The tourism industry is huge for Egypt, still to this day.

-So, the ancient Egyptians had a tourism industry?

-Yeah.

Business men would fly over to the pyramids.

In fact, they would use those pyramids as hotels.

For wealthy travellers who were coming over to see the sphinx.

There you go.

-Fair enough. I think I've seen all I need to see.

-Already? That's it?

-Yeah, I'll see you after this class.

-I'm really nervous. I hope I did okay. Aren't you nervous?

-Sshhh! Here he comes, here he comes, here he comes.

-Hey guys. How are you? -[Gerry]: Good. Hi.

-[Lisa]: Okay. -Ms. Mason, what can I say?

It's really hard to find flaws with you. -Oh.

-You're very socratic, and structured.

When I sat in your classroom I couldn't help but thinking:

Wow, that's a great teacher.

-Oh wow. Thank you so much. It's so nice to hear that.

-Then I sat in on Mr. Duncan's classes.

-Okay, can we do this separately? I don't feel comfortable.

-Please. After sitting in on his classes, I realized, maybe you're a little too socratic.

Maybe a little too structured. Almost bordering on boring.

-Excuse me? -He said you're boring.

-Mr. Duncan is a very exhilarating teacher.

He's very dynamic.

He's not afraid to use his own personal, real life experiences.

And incorporate them in his teachings.

Which, by the way, I think Bethany was in the wrong.

-She was! Thank you. She was.

-Okay, so you think that using personal experiences is a good teaching method?

-Connection, it's a connection. -Absolutely!

I had a chance to look through one of the students notebooks.

Maya something or another. She is just flourishing.

-Well, Maya's smart! She's a genius.

-I have worked with her. -[Lisa]: It had nothing to do with Gerry.

-No, what did I do. -[Jody]: Here's the thing.

That's neither here nor there, but I have your evaluations here.

You both did great. -But I did better, wow, eights!

Sixes, seven. A ten! -Sixes.

-You know, you could learn a lot from a guy like Mr. Duncan.

I know I did. -Oh, here we go! Baby, baby, baby.

-[Jody]: I mean, you shouldn't really be upset at all I mean...

-[Gerry]: That is unprofessional.

-Gerry, I gotta tell you, incredible watching you teach.

-Oh, thank you. -And when you used the: Walk like an Egyptian.

-When I did that for the kids?

-Yeah! And that's probably how they carried the bricks to build the pyramids.

-I think so, I think you're right. I'm going to use that.

-I didn't know they had airplanes back then.

That they flew business men to the pyramids on.

-Yeah, Amelia Earhart. -Yeah, Amelia Earhart. I didn't even know she was Egyptian.

-Well, I don't know if she is. -Well, you can't stop teaching. It's a gift.

-Haha, please. -[Jody]: You're like a machine.

You're a teaching machine. -Please, it's just natural.

-Here's your lesson plan back. -How was this?

-I have no clue. I didn't even open it.

-Get out of here. -You know what? Who does a lesson plan?

-I agree! -I never did one. I was a teacher for many years.

You know, the world needs more teachers like you. -Thank you.

-Hey!

How's the reign of terror going?

-Not well. Maybe you're right Trudy. Maybe no one is scared of me.

But maybe it's better to be liked, than feared.

-Well you're going to have to work at being liked too.

-I agree with Trudy's mouth.

-I am the vice principal at this school.

There is a culture of disrespect and I'm going to root it out.

And I am going to murder it with policies.

Now, do either of you have anything disrespectful to say to me right now?

Because say! I dare you! Double dog style!

No? Nothing?

I didn't think so.

-My evaluation, did you hear? -Whoa!

-Ten out of ten! -Well done.
