-Uh, actually, um, no. I have to be honest here. I... That's not who I am. I'm not gonna be a principal for the parents. I'm gonna be a principal for the kids. Look, you all love your kids and they're yours to raise, but I'm an educator and I know how to educate. Colby, your son Vince had the handwriting of a Hungarian doctor. And that's why I encouraged him to sign up for calligraphy comics after school. He didn't want to do it, but look at him now. And Molly, do you remember how terrified Beatrice was of public speaking in the second grade? That's why I bumped her up to fourth grade debate team. Ed, when I met Samanthia, math was her least favorite subject. Now she's doing fractions and loving it. And yeah, she's didn't win a demathlon medal and I know that stung, but it made her want to get better. And isn't that what school is for? Look, I think challenging your children prepares them for the real world. And if given the chance, I think I can help your kids and this school reach its full potential. And if that's not what you want, and I'm not the right fit, then I can live with that.
