00:05Come on, guys, we're not snorkeling, we're eating, okay?
00:09Stop, stop, stop, no, don't play with your food.
00:11Oh, good, get in there.
00:12Allie needs help with her homework.
00:16Hey, hey, get back in here.
00:18Ray, come on.
00:20It's either help Allie or give the twins their bath.
00:23All right, come here, guys, let me look at you.
00:32Would you strike oil?
00:37I'll do, Allie.
00:41Hey, Popeye, you look like you're doing pretty good here.
00:45You don't need my help, do you?
00:46Yes, I do.
00:48Okay, all right, don't worry.
00:49Daddy's here to help you.
00:54Mommy says no TV during homework.
00:56Don't worry about Mommy.
00:57Turn it off, Ray.
01:03All right, let's see.
01:04What do you got?
01:05I have to answer all these questions about Abraham Lincoln.
01:08Okay.
01:09I have to do these three worksheets on fractions.
01:11All right.
01:13And I have to make a diorama of a marine ecosystem.
01:17Bats, I'll do the bats, I'm gonna do the bats.
01:21Too late.
01:26Turn the TV on.
01:27I'm not.
01:28I have to make a diorama of a marine ecosystem.
01:45I'm not.
01:45I'm not.
01:46I'm not.
01:48I'm not.
01:53I'm not.
01:55It's making you crazy
02:10Hi
02:11Hey, come on
02:30What are you doing?
02:32Sorry to disturb you, your highness
02:35But while you were up here reading your latest Kiss Handsome Boys book
02:41Rubbing lotion on your bunions
02:48Peasants were downstairs trying to build an ocean in a shoebox
02:55Are you complaining?
02:56Am I complaining? I just did homework for two hours
03:00Well then I guess that makes the score three million to two
03:07What, you're keeping track now?
03:10That is so petty
03:13Look, Ray, they told us that Allie was going to get a lot more homework in the fifth grade
03:17I'm going to need more help from you now
03:18Oh, are you kidding? Come on, I was down there all night
03:22Well, this is what we do
03:23It's called being a parent
03:25Well, maybe I don't want to be called that
03:29It's just...
03:30It's just she has too much homework
03:34Did you see how many books she has to carry? She's going to be a hunchback
03:41You know, your concern for Allie is truly heartwarming
03:44But this is what Miss Purcell gives them
03:46Miss Purcell, yeah
03:47I know the type
03:50My life is miserable, children
03:52So guess what? I'm taking you down with me
03:58You know, if you have a problem with this woman, then maybe you should talk to her
04:01Maybe I will
04:02Maybe I will do exactly that
04:03Good, Tuesday is open school night
04:05What?
04:08The perfect opportunity for you to give Miss Purcell a piece of that huge mind you've got there
04:16Miss Purcell
04:18Miss Pur-smell
04:25And you can see that the children had a wonderful time with our science project
04:29These are the ocean bottom environments they created
04:37Look, Ray, there's Allie, see?
04:39Great, I bust my hump, she puts mine in the back
04:43You can all keep looking around, let me know if you have any questions
04:47Okay, Ray, here's your chance, go ahead
04:49What? For what?
04:50To talk to the teacher
04:53Aren't you?
04:56I'm confused, Ray
04:57I thought you had a big important complaint to make because you cared so much about your daughter's education
05:06Are you alright?
05:08Oh, yeah, no
05:09She loves when I do my rabbit
05:16I wanted to let everyone know that our next class project is going to be a large three-dimensional mural
05:21We'll assemble it in early December so that each child can work on their section over the Thanksgiving break
05:34Oh my god, Thanksgiving, it's like she hates America
05:38Did you get stuck making that ocean crap, too?
05:43Yeah, yeah
05:44This one's mine
05:47That's pretty good
05:48What'd you use for shrimp?
05:50Shrimp
05:56Tomorrow that's not going to be too pleasant
05:59A little time bomb for Miss Purcell
06:01Yeah
06:05Hey, don't you think the kids just get too much homework?
06:09Ugh, you are so right
06:10Linda's been up past ten every night
06:12It's out of control
06:14We never used to get this much homework
06:16You see, Deborah, it's not just me
06:18Talk to my wife
06:19I thought it was just me
06:20Billy's been so swamped I had to cancel cello and Latin
06:23That's terrible, those are good things
06:26Does Miss Purcell even know what she's doing to us?
06:29You know, I think maybe somebody should definitely speak up, don't you think?
06:32Somebody should speak up or something
06:34Don't get the envy
06:34Is everything okay?
06:44Go ahead, Ray
06:46No, no, it's nothing
06:47It's just, um, some of the people were thinking that
06:51Maybe there's a little too much homework
06:56You know, for the kids
06:59Everybody's kids
07:01Maybe
07:04Well, it's what the district thinks is necessary for the children to keep pace with the curriculum
07:08Oh, curriculum, curriculum
07:13You know, we have a meeting Monday with the curriculum review board and they always welcome input from parents
07:28Okay, oh, well, good luck with that
07:30Yeah!
07:36You know what? I think Ray would be a perfect spokesman for us
07:40I second that
07:41No, no, no, no
07:43A spokesman
07:44Spokesman should be a guy who's not afraid of public speaking
07:47I'm wetting myself now
07:57I think you're being too hard on yourself
08:00Way too hard
08:01We could really use you
08:03If we're going to reduce the fifth grade workload, we're going to have to tell them what to cut
08:07Yeah, you keep saying we, I'm quite a busy fellow
08:11Well, you have almost a week
08:12We just need you to read through the current curriculum and figure out where you feel it's redundant
08:18I can't tell you how valuable your input is going to be
08:22Yeah, but you see, I'm not a teacher, I'm not
08:24When the teachers bring this up, the board just thinks we're trying to get out of work
08:28But they know that's not true when it comes from a parent
08:44Come on
08:46You've got a better control
08:51Hey, you blew me up, we're on the same side, I'm not a zombie
08:57Nobody believes you, man
08:59Is that how you're going to play?
09:00Yes, sir
09:01All right, then we're going to play
09:02Come on, come on
09:03Try and get me, you big load
09:07You can't do it
09:08You can't do it, sucker
09:10Oh, you are so lucky
09:11Ray, did you finish going through all this curriculum stuff?
09:14Yeah, yeah, I did
09:17Those books haven't moved since you brought them home
09:20I'm going to get them, Debra, just right now, I'm entertaining a guest
09:26The review board is tomorrow morning, you have wasted the entire weekend
09:30Oh, you're right, Debra, I'm sorry
09:33Cubby, you can't play video games if you haven't finished your homework
09:38I'm going to get to it
09:39When?
09:40You know, Raymond, every day at the end of my shift, I have a mountain of paperwork
09:44And you know when I do it?
09:46When you're supposed to be out buying nose hair clippers
09:58I do it right away
10:01Because there is no worse feeling than when you've put something off to the last second
10:05And it's getting dark
10:07And the clock is ticking
10:09And you realize
10:11You're never going to make it
10:14Get out of here
10:17Get out of here
10:18Get out of here
10:18Alright, very well
10:20What are you doing?
10:20But just so you won't be distracted
10:22I'm going to take this little item with me
10:25It's not yours
10:26This way you can get all your work done
10:29And by tomorrow morning
10:30I shall be the greatest zombie hunter of all time
10:49All right, all right, I'll get started
10:51But you know, I'm just going to tell them to cut everything in half because it's too much
10:54You can't just tell them to cut things, you have to give them reasons
10:57You have to fill out all those evaluation forms
10:59Oh, no way
11:01Go on
11:02You have to help me
11:04Listen, I have done four loads of laundry, paid all the bills, put three kids to bed
11:08I have done my job
11:09You do yours
11:11As a matter of fact, I'm going to go to sleep
11:13Good night
11:17Just so you know, you could have had sex tonight
11:23It's going to be good, all new stuff
11:36What the hell?
11:43Sure, I can help you with this, Raymond
11:48It doesn't seem all that difficult
11:50I know, it's just, I didn't think there would be so much, you know
11:54And it's already 10.30 and, of course, Debra never wants to help me
12:01That's all right, that's what mothers are for
12:05But maybe next time, you'll be a little more responsible
12:09And do things on time
12:12So I could be proud of you
12:17I'm sorry
12:18What's going on in there?
12:20What's the matter, Frank?
12:24Oh, I thought you were eating that last piece of pie
12:28I'm helping Raymond with his school project
12:31All right, then
12:33I'm going to eat that pie so I know where it is
12:37Hey, Dad, let me get a sliver of that
12:40Nice try
12:41Raymond, pay attention
12:43Why don't we start with literature and reading comprehension guidelines, okay?
12:49Based on the readings of Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer
12:52Which is the following would you recommend for 5th grade homework and why?
12:56A, a book report including cover art and illustration
13:00B, an oral report using period music and costumes
13:05C, a craft project based on the pre-industrial Mississippi and
13:10D, a fictional diary on one of the literature
13:16Raymond!
13:23Ow!
13:25What's wrong with you?
13:26I like pie
13:31Raymond, pay attention
13:33I'm going to read you this again
13:35No, not again, alright? I heard it already
13:40How about we don't make the kids read Tom Sawyer?
13:42What?
13:44It's an American classic
13:46All right, then
13:48I say A
13:49Good, why?
13:53B
13:56Raymond, don't play games with me
13:58We need to do this properly
14:00Now, if you're going to explain Tom Sawyer
14:02Which of these would you recommend to the school board and why?
14:07You never read Tom Sawyer, did you?
14:11Well, yes I did
14:12What's it about?
14:14A boy
14:17Named Tom Sawyer, eat your pie
14:22Raymond, you never read Tom Sawyer?
14:26Well, alright, I didn't, so what?
14:27You never read Tom Sawyer?
14:30And you never read legendary running backs of the NFL
14:36That's sports
14:37That's right, Ma, a sports book
14:39A sports book!
14:42Because that's what I liked
14:44All this stuff they make you do in school, that's what they think is important
14:48I did, I read what I wanted to and look at me
14:50I am someone who did not read Tom Sawyer
14:53And yet I did not turn out to be a hobo
14:56Well, I'm very disappointed
14:59Me too
15:01Any cookies?
15:03I mean, obviously you just did enough work to get by
15:06And now you're proud of it
15:07Well, yeah, I am proud of it
15:10All those sports books I read and all the sports I watch on TV
15:13That's how I got to be where I'm at
15:20That's how I got to be where I'm at
15:32That's right
15:34You're a writer and that's how you use the English language
15:39What? What are you talking about?
15:41You do not end a sentence with act
15:43All right, big deal, I ended it with a proposition
15:46Preposition
15:48It's a prepos- oh my God
15:51What? What? What are you getting so upset about?
15:54Because this is the end of civilization
15:59People like you don't want to work or learn anything
16:01Because they're too busy with their remote control television
16:04Or playing with their hula hoops
16:08And before you know it
16:09That's where we're at
16:13Where the cookies at?
16:19All right, look, forget about it, Mom
16:21I'll do it, relax, okay? Give it to me
16:23No, no, no, I'm not giving you this
16:24This is too important to give to someone
16:26With your kind of attitude about education
16:57I'll do it, John
17:07So you got what I was saying there, go
17:08Oh, knock it off, Ray
17:14You got your mommy doing your homework for you?
17:17I have to, Debra
17:18It turns out I raise an illiterate
17:24Can I ask you something, Ray?
17:27What will it take for you to get involved in something?
17:30Hmm? I mean, the neighborhood watch didn't do it for you
17:33Church carnival wasn't for you
17:35You said, the Lord doesn't need me to sit in a dunking booth
17:41And now even your children's education isn't enough
17:43So I was just wondering
17:45When will something be important enough for you to take a stand?
17:54Ow!
18:05I also think we should introduce historiography as soon as possible
18:09It would be highly beneficial to all the fifth and sixth graders
18:12Thank you
18:13Thank you, Ms. Silber
18:14Now I believe we're up to one of our parents, Mr. Raymond Barone
18:18Mr. Barone?
18:22Hi, uh, thank you
18:25You all right? Wow
18:28Uh, I was, uh, up all night going over the material
18:30And, uh, well
18:34I just got a few things to say
18:39You know, uh, when I was a kid
18:40I always thought that we had too much homework
18:43And, um, since I hated all the homework
18:47I started to hate learning
18:51In fact, what I learned to do more than anything else
18:54Was to avoid the work
18:56Sorry, sorry to say I still try to avoid it whenever I can
19:01Just ask my wife
19:09But, you know, it seems to me like
19:12The kids today, they've got ten times the homework that we had
19:19You know, and, and
19:20I don't want my daughter to hate learning
19:24I want her to be curious and thoughtful and get excited about new ideas
19:29And most of all, and I think this is what we want for all our kids
19:34I want her to be happy
19:37I mean, I, I think there's homework that's important and everything
19:40And then I think there's overload
19:44I mean, are we piling it on?
19:46You know, we're so worried about the kids won't be competitive
19:49And our kids won't have a future
19:50That we're taking away their present
20:00Anyway, so, you know, maybe we can just keep that in mind
20:05Cause isn't that the kind of school that we want our children to be at?
20:12I mean in
20:13I mean of
20:14I mean a part of
20:16I mean, isn't that, isn't that a, isn't that the kind of school that we want our children to be
20:21a part of?
20:24In
20:25In
20:36And you wanted to cut down on the English homework
20:45Hey, what are you doing?
20:47Grandma's helping me with my homework
20:49Oh
20:51Want me to help?
20:52That's all right, dear
20:53We're working on grammar right now
20:59All right, then
21:00I'll be sure to keep the TV down
21:02Now, wait a minute, Raymond
21:03You have some work, too
21:08Tom Sawyer
21:10You need to read that
21:12No, Mom, I told you I don't
21:14Yes, you do
21:15I read legendary running backs of the NFL
21:22Yeah, right
21:23Poor Gail Sayers
21:25First to lose a friend like Brian Piccolo
21:28And then to have a career cut short because of all his knee injuries
21:33Go
21:35Read
21:40Probably just read the one chapter
21:43Jim Brown averaged 5.2 yards per carry for his entire career
21:53Damn you
21:57You
22:20Shall I catch you?
22:23Guys, almost—
