Marcia Jean Kurtz: Principal Jacoby

Quotes 

• Rochel : Why does traditional have to equal nonsense to you? How... how is this any less valid or... or meaningful than all the other teachers reading their horoscopes everyday at lunch?

  Principal Jacoby : Oh please, they do that for fun, they don't believe it for one second.

  Rochel : [interrupting]  Yes, they do. Yes, they do. And-and you know why-why is... umm,getting drunk and-and sleeping with some guy you don't even know a better way of finding love? I mean how is that liberated than how we do it?

  Principal Jacoby : No, I am not taking about that. You know I am taking about having a *choice* in life...

  Rochel : [interrupting]  I have a choice.

  Principal Jacoby : ...a choice in career, a choice in who you love.

  Rochel : [raising voice steadily]  I have a choice. The community has a choice!

  [silence] 

  Rochel : It's different, yes, but I have a say.
