Sasse estimates the school goes through 150 pounds of welding rod a day.

This cure wouldn’t be cheap, though, in part because the welding rod he’d need runs $90 a pound.

“It was fun teaching them kids down there in the education department how to use a welding rod. That was what excited me, and that’s what excites me today.”

But frames like a Hetchins – and the Brian Rourke that Penn opts for – last half a century, and as he points out, they can be repaired anywhere, by someone with a blowtorch and welding rod.

The children are foul-mouthed, disobedient, demanding and awful, and when Bruton tries to do a little welding they switch on his big grinder and fool with the electric welding rod holder until he decides he can't weld with children around.
