I mean, the teacher, without a doubt. There's no question. The problem is that we're not rewarding those positions.

When we were growing up, there was a million movies about—and there's a lot of criticism for this—but some teacher who's well-off that goes to the hood and really commits to revitalizing that school. And initially, the teacher's not accepted, but then the kids see that he's a good or she's a good force on humanity, and it's really rewarded. I don't think they make those movies anymore.
