Young did not fail.
Youth is for squandering.
These passions, these dreams, these daring adventures, these boundless great imaginations, these bold actions, these creations, these freedoms and openness, these disregard for the world, these inclusiveness, these exciting youths, these passionate impulses, these unique and independent freedoms , these young people who are eager to go on the road, these irony of tradition, these learning by example, this kind of self-indulgence to improve, this kind of great spirit of just do it, this is our youth, and incidentally is also the purpose of education.
In the movie reviews, I saw someone saying that if I had watched this movie 10 years earlier, maybe I would not be who I am today.
Especially Bartby's generosity in the final court against Principal Harmon! Can't help but applaud for a long time! ! !
It's just that I can't learn Bartleby's overwhelming aura.
Well, what about you parents?
Did--Did the system really work out for you?
Did it teach you to follow your heart,or to just play it safe,roll over?
What about you guys?
Did you always want to be school administrators?
Dr. Alexander, was that your dream?
Or maybe no, maybe you wanted to be a poet.
Maybe you wanted to be a magician or an artist.
Maybe you just wanted to travel the world.
Look, l--l--l--I lied to you.
I lied to all of you, and I'm sorry.
Dad, especially to you.
But out of that desperation, something happened that was so amazing.
Life was full of possibilities.
AA-And isn't that what you ultimately want for us?
As parents, I mean, is--is that, is possibilities.
Well, we came here today to ask for your approval, and something just occurred to me.
I don't give a shit!
Who cares about your approval?
We don't need your approval to tell us that what we did was real.
'Cause there are so few truths in this world, that when you see one, you know it.
And I know that it is a truth that real learning took place at South Harmon.
Whether you like it or not, it did.
'Cause you don't need teachers or classrooms or--or fancy highbrow traditions or money to really learn.
You just need people with a desire to better themselves, and we got that by the shitload at South Harmon.
So you can go ahead, sign your forms, reject us and shoot us down, and do whatever you gotta do.
It doesn't really matter at this point.
Because we'll never stop learning, and we'll never stop growing, and we'll never forget the ideals that were instilled in us at our place.
'Cause we are SHIT heads now, and we'll be SHIT heads forever and nothing you can say or do or stamp can take that away from us!
So go!
