Calling the Bailey kids stupid.


'George' bawls out the teacher for sending 'Zuzu' home "half naked", so later on at. 'Martini's', he gets knocked down with a busted lip by the woman's angry husband, because 'George' made her cry for what he said. Defending his wife's honor is one thing, but then he turns around and calls 'George's' kids stupid. 

I'm fairly certain he was implying all of his wife's students, not just the Bailey clan.

Mr. Welch was angry with George for bawling his wife out over the phone. I still don't know why he was at Martini's instead of staying at home, comforting his wife.
