00:00 - 00:03 | This school year we will be |
00:04 - 00:05 | consolidating ISR and all |
00:05 - 00:07 | study halls into the media center |
00:08 - 00:12 | This will allow us to keep all |
00:12 - 00:15 | students in one central location |
00:17 - 00:19 | But will the media center be |
00:19 - 00:21 | large enough to hold them all? |
00:24 - 00:26 | Um... well.... |
00:27 - 00:28 | there is one option |
00:31 - 00:33 | We will have to close down the magazine room |
00:34 - 00:36 | and place the ISR students there |
00:53 - 00:58 | Time... Cosmo... Rolling Stone.... |
01:13 - 01:15 | This is unacceptable! How do we |
01:15 - 01:17 | have a media center without a |
01:18 - 01:23 | periodical room full of forty year old |
01:25 - 01:28 | Jet, Seventeen, and |
01:29 - 01:31 | Good Housekeeping magazines? |
01:31 - 01:34 | One day somebody might need |
01:34 - 01:37 | our media center specialist to find |
01:37 - 01:40 | the March 1973 issue of Vibe |
01:40 - 01:42 | We are not going to rehire our media center specialist |
01:42 - 01:46 | No media center specialist? |
01:46 - 01:48 | Our financial situation cannot justify it |
01:48 - 01:52 | We might as well just close down the entire media center then! |
01:53 - 01:54 | Who will check out the three books a |
01:56 - 01:57 | day that are essential for our students |
01:57 - 02:00 | academic success and college readiness? |
02:00 - 02:03 | Who will personally go out and purchase |
02:04 - 02:08 | new books that no one is interested in? |
02:08 - 02:13 | Who will make recommendations |
02:14 - 02:16 | for our book of the month club |
02:17 - 02:21 | to the eight students who participate? |
02:27 - 02:29 | My dream was that we would have a |
02:30 - 02:34 | state of the art media center |
02:34 - 02:36 | Full of useful books from 1969 |
02:41 - 02:42 | that might be checked out once |
02:43 - 02:47 | every thirty years |
02:48 - 02:53 | A place where the weird kids could |
02:54 - 02:56 | congregate with each other |
02:56 - 02:59 | Now all those social outcasts will have to |
03:00 - 03:02 | sit in the cafeteria with the normal people |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's ok, you can come to my table |
03:14 - 03:16 | A place where students could research |
03:19 - 03:23 | on obsolete computers rather than |
03:25 - 03:26 | their phones |
03:31 - 03:33 | or the Chromebooks we provide |
03:40 - 03:46 | Let's take those old issues of Ebony |
03:46 - 03:49 | and have a giant bonfire for Homecoming |
03:53 - 03:56 | I suppose Media 2 will be next... |
