Honestly? Because you can’t not be a teacher to him.
你不觉得是家里的事给闹的吗？
You don’t think it’s ’cause of what’s happening at home?
你一直在他周围转
You are all over him all the time.
我能理解
And I know why.
但某些时候，你必须放手
But at some point, you have to let go.
罗拉
Nona.
罗拉！
Nona!
嗨
Hi.
这就是我要上的学校？
This is where I’m going?
但愿如此
I hope so.
我们需要点运气
We need some luck.
可能我要多练习阅读
Maybe I should practice my reading.
阅读好的话，他们应该会要我
They’ll want me if my reading’s good.
我们找个地方去坐

借过
Excuse me.
打扰一下，我想让我儿子参加抽签
Excuse me. I’m trying to get my son in the lottery.
太晚了，对不起

求求你了，我是老师，这里有人能帮我吗？
Please, I’m a teacher. ls there anyone I could talk to?
你可以找校长，他就在那边，看到没？
You can try the principal. He’s right over there. Do you see him?
挖我们的老师进展顺利不？
How’s it going poaching my teachers?
拜托，哪有挖人，我们是保护他们
Oh, please. We don’t poach, we protect.
好借口，你应该多用用
Now, that’s a good line. You oughta use it more often.
哦，我忘记了，你已经用了
Oh, I forgot, you already do.
好了，又开始攻击工会了

告诉你个秘密：你可以边批评边支持工会
Here’s a little secret: you can criticize and support unions.
嘿，你和你兄弟比赛如何？
Hey. How’d it go with your brother?
挺好的，他赢了，3比2
Oh, it was great. He won, 3 to 2.
他都快赶上你了
Almost as good as you.
但你不支持我们，不是吗？你把我们拒之门外
But you don’t support us, you know? You shut us out.
是啊，我的老师们要自♥由♥
Yeah, because my teachers want their freedom.
被加班？被无故就地解雇的自♥由♥？
To be overworked? To be fired at any time for any reason?
不是，是投入更多时间和学生相处的自♥由♥
No, freedom to put in extra time with their kids.
只要愿意，放学后还能继续和学生相处
You know, freedom to stay after school if they want.
祝你好运
Good luck to you.
但他们真的想吗，还是不敢说不？
But do they want it, or are they too scared to say no?
你忘了我也曾是教师
You forget I was a teacher once.
当然没忘
No. I don’t forget.
你还是位名♥师♥
You were one of the greats.

你猜他们怎么说？
you know what they said to me?
“等一等，我们正在解决这个问题”
“Hold on. Wait. We’re addressing the problem.”
“等一等，他们正在改变”
“Hold on, wait. They’re makin’ changes.”
“等”这个字就说明他们在袖手旁观
That word “wait” means they’re not going to do anything about it.
我过去这么说，现在还是这么说
I said then and I’m saying it now.
我们不会再等了
We will not wait.
难道要等到我们的孩子被退学的那一天吗？
Are we going to wait while our kids are dropping out of school?
难道要等到学校系统让我们心碎的那天吗？
Are we going to wait while the school system is failing us?

他说不行！　　　
It’s up to the principal!
The principal said no!
那我也无能为力了！
Then there’s nothing I can do about it!
