Principal Jacobs:
Mr. Holland, it has come to my attention that you are teaching the students rock and roll.
Glenn Holland:
Is this a problem?
Vice Principal Gene Wolters:
Is this a problem? Yes, I think so. Our only job is to teach. We cannot teach and the students cannot learn if there is no discipline.
Glenn Holland:
Uh... I'm sorry, uh, what exactly is your point, Gene?
Vice Principal Gene Wolters:
My point is rock and roll, by its very nature, leads to a breakdown in discipline.
Glenn Holland:
Well, what would you like me to do? Deny that rock and roll exists?
Vice Principal Gene Wolters:
What I am... What we are saying is that you should be pushing the classics. Brahms, Mozart, Stravinsky.
Glenn Holland:
Stravinsky was the music of the Russian Revolution, if you want to talk about a breakdown in discipline.
Vice Principal Gene Wolters:
You are deliberately exaggerating.
Glenn Holland:
How about the Kingston Trio, Gene? How about Sing Along with Mitch?
Vice Principal Gene Wolters:
Oh, please!
Principal Jacobs:
Just a minute, gentlemen. Mr. Holland, I do not want to interfere in the curriculum of any teacher. But next week, I have a meeting with the school board. And there are people in this community who believe that rock and roll is a message sent from the devil himself. Now when that issue comes up, what can I tell them?
Glenn Holland:
Mrs. Jacobs, you tell them that I am teaching music, and that I will use anything from Beethoven to Billie Holiday to rock and roll, if I think it'll help me teach a student to love music.
