You may have heard some talk about Greenslate School.0:18
Greenslate School is rather notorious.0:22
We are always talked about, but unfortunately most of the talk is by people who are not well informed about things we are trying to do in this school.0:24
The majority of the children here could be generally classified as difficult.0:33
It is probably so because many children in this area have always been poorly fed, clothed and housed.0:38
The total income of many of these families is not good enough for the minimum of food, warmth and dry shelter necessary for good health.0:44
Some of these children are from homes where parents are chronically unemployed.0:53
They don't have jobs and in many cases don't show any interest in finding any.0:58
The very nature of the children's environment makes them able to show a lot of disrespect to any authority.1:03
Many of the pupils smoke, use bad language and are often very rude.1:10
We, the teachers, try our best to discourage them of such things and to help them in the pressures and tensions of their lives.1:15
We do not believe in discipline based on some kind of punishment.1:23
In this school, we believe that pupils are not children, but men and women in process of development and this development shouldn't be forced on them by teacher.1:27
We think that our children deserve respect and we try to give them affection, confidence and guidance because in our view they are their most immediate needs.1:37
Only a small part of their day is spent in the security of this school.1:48
Many more hours they spend in this neighborhood had often have unsatisfactory influences.1:52
