So Mr. Neck is talking about debating about foreigners and how his son did not get the job he wanted because of an immigrant. And all of a sudden, a kid is challenging him. I named him Brave Kid. Brave Kid: "Maybe your son didn't get the job because he's not good enough. Or he's lazy. Or the other guy was better than him, no matter what his skin color. I think the white people who have been here for two hundred years are the ones pulling down the country. They don't know how to work-they've made it too easy." Mr. Neck is not happy by this. Now all of a sudden, David Pertrakis, my lab partner, stands up. David never gets in trouble.
Mr. Neck: "Mr. Pertrakis, take your seat."
David: "If the class is debating, then each student has the right to say what's on his mind." He was standing up for Brave Kid.
Mr. Neck: "I decide who talks in here."
David: "You opened a debate. You can't close it just because its not going your way."
Mr. Neck: "Watch me. Take your seat, Mr. Pertrakis."
They then went on for a couple more minutes. I decided that David is like my role model. I have never heard such greatness put towards a teacher.
