00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:19.000
BONNEY: There was some talk when the program was going on, you had a program for people who were blind and deaf, I believe, and there was some...

2
00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:29.500
difference of opinion, let me say, about whether or not the program should slow down so that these people had time to do the work, keep up with the work.

3
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.500
BONNEY: In your transcript, Neil, you say that you didn't want to teach at a slower pace...

4
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:42.200
because people with disabilities needed to work harder, perform better, and be better.

5
00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:43.800
Why did you say that?

6
00:00:44.300 --> 00:00:49.600
JACOBSON: OK.

7
00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:55.600
The program was a very hard program.

8
00:00:56.100 --> 00:01:17.300
The people, the people were there five days a week, or six days a week, or seven days a week, eight hours, twelve hours, eighteen hours a day, OK...

9
00:01:17.800 --> 00:01:34.900
JACOBSON: because I felt that whoever could survive the program, could do, could do anything.

10
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:42.000
I wanted them to realize that they could do anything.

11
00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:59.100
JACOBSON: I wanted them to realize that it's OK to work hard, it's OK to be tired...

12
00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:08.300
and that no matter how hard it is, there is always a way to do it.

13
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:19.900
And eventually, when they did get a job, the job would be easy.
