1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,060 Okay, now, what is the text mostly about? 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,460 Kira? There's a recess yet. 3 00:00:04,660 --> 00:00:06,720 No, not recess yet, guys. We still have a couple of minutes. 4 00:00:07,020 --> 00:00:08,020 But I want to go now. 5 00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:10,020 Guys, we have to be patient, okay? 6 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,780 Patience is a virtue, a very important virtue. 7 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,500 Like, you can know you're going to recess, you know? Like, you know. 8 00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:23,240 Because Ava, Principal Coleman, told you you were going to recess. 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,090 Yeah, you never thought you were going to recess. In fact... Your mom told you 10 00:00:27,090 --> 00:00:29,370 you would never go to recess because she's never been to recess. 11 00:00:29,650 --> 00:00:34,430 She said that? Yeah, your mom said that, right? But now you know that recess is 12 00:00:34,430 --> 00:00:37,610 happening. But you can't go looking for recess. You don't want to go looking for 13 00:00:37,610 --> 00:00:39,030 it. You can't find it. 14 00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:40,349 You tried. 15 00:00:40,350 --> 00:00:44,670 You really want to know if it's Emerald or it's Princess Cut. I love Princesses! 16 00:00:44,750 --> 00:00:45,750 Who doesn't, Kira? 17 00:00:45,970 --> 00:00:50,050 But the thing is, you know recess is happening, and you didn't even know it 18 00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:52,490 was happening. You thought you were getting a dog, but guess what? No! 19 00:00:53,050 --> 00:00:54,110 You're going to... 20 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,000 Turning challenging curriculum into a game creates excitement to learn. 21 00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:24,140 Not Monopoly, though. The school year is only 181 days long. 22 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,860 I try to attend all seminars that pertain to my students and me. And 23 00:01:29,860 --> 00:01:34,520 sometimes there's useful information, but all of the time there is catering. 24 00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:39,140 And as liaison representative, I attend every seminar. But my favorites are the 25 00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:42,040 ones with Barb, because we get ice cream and gab afterwards. 26 00:01:42,580 --> 00:01:43,920 That happened one time. 27 00:01:45,060 --> 00:01:47,800 Well, every tradition started with a single event. 28 00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:54,260 Yes? This is my first year, and I'm noticing that a few students need a 29 00:01:54,260 --> 00:01:55,640 little more time on certain lessons. 30 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,320 Is it better to follow the mandated curriculum or to... Follow the mandated 31 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,840 curriculum. Yeah, teach to the test. 32 00:02:01,060 --> 00:02:03,900 Even if you run the risk of having to hold a student back at the end of the 33 00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:07,660 year? Um, if you did your best and they did their best, they can move on. 34 00:02:08,169 --> 00:02:10,990 Of course he's not saying pass a student who's failing. 35 00:02:11,210 --> 00:02:12,250 I wouldn't say that, no. 36 00:02:12,530 --> 00:02:17,030 It is the district's belief that students can't succeed when they fail. 37 00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:21,350 And a bird can't fly if it's a moose? What are we doing here? I had to kind of 38 00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:23,970 adjust what qualifies as an F. You're kidding. 39 00:02:24,290 --> 00:02:25,370 No, I do that too. 40 00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:27,230 Wait, does everybody do this? 41 00:02:27,590 --> 00:02:28,670 Let's all take a breather. 42 00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:30,390 I have some more slides. 43 00:02:31,490 --> 00:02:34,790 So, uh... I don't know why you're surprised, though. 44 00:02:35,250 --> 00:02:36,950 Because we don't do this at Abbott. 45 00:02:38,540 --> 00:02:40,580 Hey, we don't. 46 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,640 Oh, wow, man. It's fun to laugh. 47 00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:53,900 And for transportation, we have my SUV, Lynn's minivan, and your party 48 00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:55,780 bus. So that should fit all the steppers. 49 00:02:56,020 --> 00:02:58,260 Minivan. Sucks to have kids, huh? 50 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,800 I'll cover the snacks and water. You wanted to see me? 51 00:03:02,180 --> 00:03:05,500 Yes, your janitor's union bonus check came. Not sure why you had it sent here, 52 00:03:05,620 --> 00:03:09,000 but here you go. Probably had it sent here to remind someone she forgot to 53 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,880 congratulate me. I emailed you. 54 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,860 When I check my email next month, I'll forgive you. Uh, you texted me, come to 55 00:03:14,860 --> 00:03:17,580 my office and don't say it's a bad time, but it feels like it's a bad time. 56 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:18,559 No, no, no. 57 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,800 It's pressing. Follow me. 58 00:03:22,940 --> 00:03:23,980 You still cool with Dom? 59 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,280 Yeah. Dom's great. 60 00:03:26,030 --> 00:03:28,350 Kind of sees me as a mentor. Great. You need to fire him. 61 00:03:28,830 --> 00:03:32,150 So Dom's missed 23 days this year. 62 00:03:32,830 --> 00:03:33,830 We get 10. 63 00:03:34,210 --> 00:03:37,290 He's gotten several warnings, but I don't want to fire him. 64 00:03:38,310 --> 00:03:41,730 He's the only one around here I can actually dap up. And sometimes that's 65 00:03:41,730 --> 00:03:43,310 really all you need at the end of a long day. 66 00:03:43,550 --> 00:03:46,210 Well, I kind of set aside today to work on my proposal. 67 00:03:46,510 --> 00:03:49,250 You can't really do it at home because... Gregory, this is your job. 68 00:03:49,870 --> 00:03:51,170 Relationships and jobs last. 69 00:03:51,430 --> 00:03:54,670 Oh, and you need to follow union protocol on this. So Gregory, Melissa, 70 00:03:54,830 --> 00:03:55,880 Melissa. Gregory. 71 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,000 Yeah, what? We should start over. How you doing? 72 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,140 What's going on? As union representative, you need to help Gregory 73 00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:03,880 fire Dom in a way that doesn't get us sued. You're firing Dom? 74 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,680 Typical corporate penny pinching. Well, you know what? I fight for the little 75 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:09,720 guy, Greggy. 76 00:04:11,820 --> 00:04:13,320 Ava. Janine's gonna say no. 77 00:04:13,740 --> 00:04:15,380 Look at that. I just freed up your day. 78 00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:18,220 Crazy. 79 00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,860 So tell me why my dad got me a 13-year-old a princess bed for his new 80 00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:24,980 apartment. Well, tell me it was Elise Tiana. 81 00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:26,510 Cinderella. Oh. 82 00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:30,750 Courtney has really been taking me up on my open-door policy. 83 00:04:31,150 --> 00:04:35,410 She's been here before school, after school, sometimes at lunch. It's usually 84 00:04:35,410 --> 00:04:37,350 just to vent, but sometimes we chat. 85 00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:40,630 I'm just so happy that she's finally opening up. 86 00:04:40,850 --> 00:04:44,330 Oh, my God. I can't even laugh about it with my mom because she'll use it 87 00:04:44,330 --> 00:04:46,170 against him. It's so stupid. 88 00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:51,630 Oh, well, look, I know it feels bad, but it is totally okay to be mad at your 89 00:04:51,630 --> 00:04:54,830 parents. Trust me. I don't think I'm mad at them. Hmm. 90 00:04:56,010 --> 00:04:57,910 I think I'm just sad. 91 00:04:59,090 --> 00:05:00,090 Oh. 92 00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:09,750 So, are you an I-Show speed girl or a Kai Sennett fan? 93 00:05:10,430 --> 00:05:11,670 They're both cool. 94 00:05:13,470 --> 00:05:18,810 I haven't been laughed at since I tried stand-up back in 1987. Yeah, they're a 95 00:05:18,810 --> 00:05:20,330 bunch of slugs, a whole lot of them. 96 00:05:20,630 --> 00:05:24,390 Oh, Mr. Morton, man of scientific excellence. 97 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,360 You wouldn't just pass a failing student, would you? 98 00:05:27,660 --> 00:05:30,360 Ah, I knew it. I haven't even answered the question yet. 99 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,340 But yeah, sometimes I'll let a few slip through. 100 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,580 What? I don't want to get chewed up by the district again. 101 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,160 Hey, what's next? 102 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,240 Tasha, same question. 103 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,960 Pass a failing student? I literally do it all the time. 104 00:05:41,220 --> 00:05:42,220 Damn it, Tasha! 105 00:05:42,620 --> 00:05:46,000 What? Don't get mad at me. It was basically obligatory at my old school. I 106 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,720 just figured it was the same thing here. I can't believe what I'm hearing. 107 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,020 Is this what happens to my sweet babies once they leave my class? 108 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,900 This ain't Deadpool's society, Barb. You don't talk to her! 109 00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:05,280 In the moment, get more like me. 110 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,380 That was the best one yet. All right, quick water break. We'll run it again. 111 00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:12,160 President Coleman, what do you think of these? 112 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,680 Ooh, these are cute. 113 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,780 Right? They have multiple colors, too. But wearing these would take us to the 114 00:06:17,780 --> 00:06:22,060 next level. I can't fight you on that. How much? So they're $200 each. 115 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,620 And that includes shoes. 116 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,440 Like, we'd win in these for sure. Like you always say, it's what's on the 117 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,440 outside that matters. 118 00:06:29,260 --> 00:06:30,260 I do say that. 119 00:06:32,220 --> 00:06:33,560 $200 per kid? 120 00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:35,020 You're dancing in wedding dresses? 121 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,760 The competition is next weekend. 122 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,580 This is when having an NBA boyfriend will come in handy, but no. 123 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,480 Stay for love, they said. 124 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,480 Look, 125 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:54,160 I can talk princesses and school gossip all day, but the more emotional stuff is 126 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,400 just trickier terrain. 127 00:06:56,260 --> 00:06:58,260 Then I remembered, we have someone for that. 128 00:06:59,869 --> 00:07:01,030 Did you get my email? 129 00:07:01,230 --> 00:07:04,590 The one you sent four minutes ago?

What thing 189 00:09:45,180 --> 00:09:46,440 are you talking about specifically? 190 00:09:46,860 --> 00:09:49,900 The district's off-the-record mandate to change the grades of the students who 191 00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:51,080 are failing so that they pass. 192 00:09:51,420 --> 00:09:52,420 Oh, yeah, well aware. 193 00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:56,380 I tried to hold a kid back a few years ago, but the district passed him anyway. 194 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,900 Melissa! Barb! 195 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,280 Jacob! Melissa, you are an educator. 196 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,560 But you have a responsibility to... Okay, no, wait. You guys have never had 197 00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:08,060 to fail a kid, right? You both know I do my job. I do it well. But sometimes it's 198 00:10:08,060 --> 00:10:10,580 not the teacher. It's the kid just needs a little more time. 199 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,310 But you... passed him. I didn't want to. The district made the decision. 200 00:10:15,690 --> 00:10:17,150 Okay, but you didn't fight back? 201 00:10:17,410 --> 00:10:20,550 Oh, yeah. No, I'm sorry. I forgot about all that extra time I got on my hands. 202 00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:24,170 Golly. If you want to lecture someone, go down and lecture the district. 203 00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:25,370 They're the ones calling the shots. 204 00:10:26,030 --> 00:10:29,590 Oh, are you ready? Oh, perfect timing. Good. Hey, hey, when did you two start 205 00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:32,850 hanging out? Around the same time that the two of you got up on that high 206 00:10:32,850 --> 00:10:33,850 horse. 207 00:10:34,110 --> 00:10:35,110 Boom. 208 00:10:35,290 --> 00:10:37,030 What was you up in Mike's for?

And they don't have a choice. 277 00:13:46,530 --> 00:13:48,450 But what if we gave them one? 278 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:54,180 What if we told the higher-ups that we want to use Abbott as a test school? 279 00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:58,040 Yes, and then we can show the district that fair, honest grading would help the 280 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,440 kids. And their mandate does more harm than good. 281 00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:02,460 Wrong! What is your idiot? 282 00:14:03,740 --> 00:14:06,640 Oh, not you.
