more time to this subject at home i

20

i don't know why miss robinson's saying

32
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:25,119
no it's home about arithmetic she never

33
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:27,360
writes you about geography i'm doing

34
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,040

your subjects

37
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,479
i don't like arithmetic

38
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:37,200
i don't blame you but it's important

39
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,720
now look

40
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,960
learning is is like building if you

41
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,479
don't have a good foundation you can

42
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:44,880
never build a solid house we're studying

43
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,280
fractions no one ever builds one seventh

44
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,280
of a house why do i have to learn it

45
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,759
oh

46
00:01:55,759 --> 00:01:57,680
suppose lassie was sick

47
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,680
the doctors left some medicine with you

48
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,200
now you're supposed to give her a half

49
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,840
the first day a quarter the next day and

50
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,159
the rest of it in the next four days now

51
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:09,640
what would you do

52
00:02:10,878 --> 00:02:12,720
what kind of medicine

53
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,800
well that isn't important

54
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,280
but it is a flashy sick we wouldn't want

55
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,120
to give her the wrong all right she's

56
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,599
not sick uh this is a tonic to keep her

57
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:22,480
healthy

58
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,080
well if she's healthy why does she need

59
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,720
a tonic

60
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:30,720
you aren't by any chance trying to evade

61
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,800
this question i don't know what evade

62
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,080
means

63
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,080
well if aid means

64
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,920
it's when you

65
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:39,599
oh never mind i see we're not going to

00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:41,840
get very far this way can i go out and

67
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,400
play under the circumstances i think

68
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,680
that you'd better stay here instead of

69
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,519
your arithmetic

70
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:50,080

what you doing arithmetic

120
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,039
how you coming

121
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:53,039
pretty good do you know anything about

122
00:05:53,039 --> 00:05:55,440
fractions uh well what do you want to

123
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,560
know

124
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,520
well

125
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,240
if something is times something it's

126
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,600
more than something that's plus

127
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,280
something right um you say that again

128
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:06,479
well

129
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:09,919
four times four is sixteen and four plus

130
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:12,560
four is only eight sixteen is more than

131
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,960
eight so that makes time more than plus

132
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,199
right got to agree with that

133
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:19,840
then how come they say that one half

134
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:23,199
plus one half is one and one half times

135
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:25,520
one half is only a quarter

136
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,880
who says that my teacher and my book

137
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,440
let me see it

138
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:34,240

139
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,600
half a dollar by a half a dollar and

140
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,600
come out with a quarter then how come it

141
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,520
says so in the book

142
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,360

171
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,240
you weren't able to copy the last

172
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,399
problem jeffrey

173
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:28,399

175
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,560

so i think under the circumstances it

183
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,399

there's no reason for you to take

192
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,440
another arithmetic test but since

193
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,360
jeffrey and i have to stay after school

194
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,360
you might as well stay with us

195
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,760
and take a test in history

196
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,760
i've got one all ready for you isn't

197
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,120
that fine

198
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,839
daniel

199
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,240
sylvester i think perhaps it might be

200
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,240
better if you were to take another seat

201
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,120
not so close to jeffrey

202
00:10:31,150 --> 00:10:32,920
[Music]

203
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,209
[Applause]

204
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,600
hi mom

205
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,760
sorry i'm late

206
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,079
supper's almost ready i've been worried

207
00:10:44,079 --> 00:10:45,519
but i got a call for miss robin's

208
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:48,000
explaining why you'd be late

209
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,279
you did

210
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:50,880
yes yes she explained that she kept you

211
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,399
after school

212
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:54,320
what's she picking on me for

213
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:59,399
told i was sorry i copied corki's paper

214
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,880
ms robins didn't say anything about your

215
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,000
copying fork his paper

216
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,279
oh

217
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:09,680
did you

218
00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:10,800
yes

219
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,640
why

220
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,440
i don't know yes you do now think about

221
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,519
it

222
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,640
no i don't know why

223
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,320
it's very simple you didn't know the

224
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,920
answers you felt you had to copy from

225
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,760
porky the reason you didn't know the

226
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:26,800
answers is because you've been

227
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,640
neglecting your schoolwork

228
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,640
that's right isn't it

229
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,720
i guess so

230
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,560
we won't mention about the copying from

231
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:36,000
now on

232
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,240
it wasn't a nice thing to do but i'm

233
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,160
sure you've learned your lesson

234
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,120
you won't do it again will you

235
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,600
now about the second test it's robin's

236
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,200
graded it and out of six problems you've

237
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,800
got one right

238
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,079
only one that's it

239
00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:53,839
well i'm improving

240
00:11:53,839 --> 00:11:55,839
after all you tell me i don't have to be

241
00:11:55,839 --> 00:11:57,600
perfect if i improve

242
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,800
last month i didn't get any right

243
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,320

arithmetic test

258
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,600
it isn't just an old arithmetic test

259
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:36,639
jeff

260
00:12:36,639 --> 00:12:38,800
honey i'm not trying to punish you but

261
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,600
you must have a sense of values you've

262
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,360
got to learn what is important and what

263
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,920
isn't the circus may not be important to

264
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,240
you but it is to me

265
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,079

287
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:52,160

[Music]

303
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,880
jeff flunked his arithmetic test

304
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:43,920
well that ain't nothing to make the

305
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,920
world come to an end is it well i've

306
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,120
made arrangements for him to take

307
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,440
another test tomorrow oh wait a minute

308
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,360
what about circus

309
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,279
well to be honest with you i i forgot

310
00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:55,120
about that when i made the arrangements

311
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,440
but i can't back down now oh that's

312
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,720
going to be pretty rough on a kid

313
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,920
he probably hates me

314
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,560
i've got to make him understand that he

315
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,639
he can't slough off his responsibilities

316
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:11,199
just because they're no fun look

317
00:15:11,199 --> 00:15:12,800
jeff's a good kid

318
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,480
i've seen him where they get stubborn as

319
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,800
a mule but jeff does pretty much as he's

320
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,839
told

321
00:15:17,839 --> 00:15:19,279
i know that

322
00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:20,959
he just he hasn't made any effort with

323
00:15:20,959 --> 00:15:22,399
this arithmetic

324
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:25,600
it'd be different if he tried and failed

325
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,360
when is the test tomorrow

326
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,199
in the morning

327
00:15:29,199 --> 00:15:30,800
look i got an idea

328
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,880
now if he does good

329
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,639
how's about me taking him to the circus

330
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:36,720
right after the test it starts at two

331
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:37,839
o'clock and

332
00:15:37,839 --> 00:15:40,160
we won't miss much of it oh that's

333
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,560
that's just wonderful only let's not say

334
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,079
anything to him about it until he gets

335
00:15:44,079 --> 00:15:46,079
home tomorrow maybe he'll study better

336
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:47,440
if he thinks he isn't getting away with

337
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,759
anything

338
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,959
come here lassie

339
00:15:54,959 --> 00:15:56,720
we gotta have a talk

340
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,399
you don't know it yet but we're running

341
00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:00,320
away from home tomorrow

00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,240
i'd go tonight but i gotta prove

343
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,519
something first

00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:05,279
i'm gonna show mom and miss robins that

345
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:07,600
i can do their crummy old fractions when

346
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,680
they find out we'll be gone

347
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,079
maybe i will miss the circus but they'll

348
00:16:12,079 --> 00:16:14,000
be sorry because we're not coming home

349
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,480
after that test tomorrow not ever we

350
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,720
might even join the circus

351
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,880
but you gotta help me i gotta learn all

352
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,959
this fractions junk tonight and it may

353
00:16:22,959 --> 00:16:25,759
take middle morning i get awful sleepy

354
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:27,120
so you gotta see that i don't go to

355
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,000
sleep

356
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,639
understand

357
00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:31,600
look

358
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,240
if i start to go to sleep you nudge me

359
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,320
and if you fall asleep i'll wake you so

360
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,079
that you can wake me right

361
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,000
i'm starting from page one

362
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,680
i'm gonna know more about fractions than

363
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,479
miss robin's

364
00:16:48,959 --> 00:16:51,360
fraction is a part of a unit if you

365
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,920
divide an orange into four parts each

366
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,560
part is a fraction of the whole orange

367
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,199
oranges

368
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:04,559
the lowest common denominator

369
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:06,160
the

370
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,439
smallest fraction

371
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:13,199
this problem can be defined

372
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:17,439
lowest common denominator is the 1 4

373
00:17:17,439 --> 00:17:19,679
plus one-fifth

374
00:17:19,679 --> 00:17:24,280
equals nine twentieths

375
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,799
thanks lassie

376
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:32,640
one-fourth

377
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,799
