Right. Moving on here. The Gering’s wanna be involved in their child’s education. And they should be. But in their zealotry they left one thing out of the equation. The teacher. Because, let’s face it, Your Honor, we treat our teachers like crap. Instead of training our educators properly and believing in them and incentivising them with decent wages, we disrespect them; we challenge them at every turn. And the government in their ‘No child left behind’ act have created a monster. Instead of teaching children to be innovative our educators are forced to teach to the test. And it’s been documented that nation wide some teachers have themselves cheated on the tests because their salaries, their bonuses, their job security are linked to the test scores. He bends down to cough, he takes a deep breath, he sniffs and pauses. Denise starts to get up. Ah, sit down, sit down. Denise sits down. He takes a breath. Ah. And on the other side we have parents like the Gerings coming at them from all angles. Questioning their every move, instead of putting their faith in them. But they do it for a good place but all they want is complete and utter control. And believe me I know all about wanting control of your life and having very little of it. But you can’t control life, you can’t control your daughter, you can’t control the teacher. All you can do is inspire them to be innovative thinkers, people who tap into their own creativity and confidence to try new things, to challenge the status quo, to make new discoveries. And our kids will do all that and more if we just back off and let ‘em grow. Just my luck, one of the little bastards will come up with a cure for cancer.

依然是教育话题。选自boston legal。说话者Daniel，身患晚期癌症。我一直很想把这段拿来做背诵选段，原因就是他口齿不清的发音。就算是土生土长的白人，也未必发音精准。还在国内的人应当有心理准备，出国后面对的英语除了要在口语上克服自己的中国口音，听力上征服不同地方口音，还要提高到能听懂这种口齿不清。

显然这次模仿的范本不是最好的，大家还是按照自己最好的发音来做。

本次背诵，由中间蓝色场景介绍分成两段。背诵一段的奖励是100GTB＋1声望，背诵两段200GTB＋3声望。音频发送至email
