Speaker 9: I bought these, bought these like chicken nuggets. They're lightly
Speaker 9: breaded chicken nuggets. I don't know what brand, Perdue, lightly

Speaker 9: So I'm eating semi real food that I'm microwaving a lot.
Speaker 3: So that's all you had yesterday.
Speaker 9: Well, then in the middle of the night, I got
Speaker 9: hungry at like twelve thirty and I've I found myself
Speaker 9: eating a lot of peanut butter.
Speaker 3: That wasn't good.
Speaker 9: Oh, I was going nuts with a spoon or with
Speaker 9: your fingers, well spoon, no, but I was going wild.
Speaker 3: I was going w Will you get out of bed,

Speaker 3: That's a need. The food noise was out of control, too.
Speaker 5: Sore your pains.

Speaker 6: Frank the family that says that this this bar Laura bar,
Speaker 6: that's a barred geared for vaginal health, he claims, nice,
Speaker 6: My my badge has never been healthier. All right, Dougie,
Speaker 6: are you ready for the shizzy?
Speaker 3: I'm rover. Here we go kind of shizzy. I'll roll
Speaker 3: this morning glory.
Speaker 5: I'll start with this story because we just had that
Speaker 5: collar before the break who said he had to go
Speaker 5: pick up his kid at college. He just dropped him
Speaker 5: off at college and then he got a call he
Speaker 5: used to go pick his kid up because there was
Speaker 5: a misunderstanding about blowing up a college campus and he
Speaker 5: was really just playing fart noises. And I saw this story.
Speaker 5: This service at Applebee's turned into the news story because
Speaker 5: a nineteen year old student at Indiana University named Jackson
Speaker 5: Han was arrested after he threatened to bomb the Applebee's
Speaker 5: on social media. He was frustrated with the service and
Speaker 5: started to vent in an Instagram story. The post was
Speaker 5: flagged by Meta and reported to the FBI National Threat
Speaker 5: Operations Center. They called the local authorities, who evacuated the
Speaker 5: restaurant and closed it for the night while they searched
Speaker 5: the place.
Speaker 3: The police tracked down Jackson. He admitted to the post.
Speaker 5: He said he was just hungry, he was tired, he
Speaker 5: was upset that he hadn't gotten his food, and that
Speaker 5: it was it was just a stupid post.
Speaker 3: It wasn't anything serious.
Speaker 6: He didn't and the Applebee's waiting for his food when
Speaker 6: he posted that he was going to bomb the AFP,
Speaker 6: I did you.
Speaker 5: See it where? I didn't see the post. But he
Speaker 5: is not going to get a slap on the wrist.
Speaker 5: He's now facing one kind of felony intimidation, which can
Speaker 5: carry up to nearly three years in prison.
Speaker 6: Then come on, that's that's that's really good a stretch. Obviously,
Speaker 6: this was a stupid he maybe you can't do that.
Speaker 3: I hope you.
Speaker 6: I mean, before you close the entire store and whatnot,
Speaker 6: you also have to sort of evaluate the threat well,
Speaker 6: and you have to evaluate is this okay if somebody's
Speaker 6: upset that the waitress is taking a long time, and
Speaker 6: they say they say they're going to blow up the restaurant.
Speaker 6: What is the likelihood I'm waiting for my food. I've
Speaker 6: been waiting twenty minutes, so I should blow this place up.
Speaker 6: What's the likelihood that guy actually has a bomb, he's
Speaker 6: going to plant the bomb, He's going to bomb the place.
Speaker 3: Zero.
Speaker 6: So you have to look at this with it like
Speaker 6: with some critical thinking. I'm not saying you should make
Speaker 6: those posts, but let's not go overboard here and ruin
Speaker 6: the guy's life.
Speaker 2: Go on.
Speaker 5: So you know that Spirit Airline, the discount airline they
Speaker 5: just a few months ago halted all operations, was back
Speaker 5: in May, and now they've been selling off their remaining
Speaker 5: assets through the bankruptcy process ever since. Well, most of
Speaker 5: the plane's equipment in real estate been selling off. There's
Speaker 5: other things that are valuable and you don't even realize this,
Speaker 5: but it has been disclosed that the company agreed to
Speaker 5: sell all of its data to Google for ten million dollars.
Speaker 5: So that's emails, internal communications, spreadsheets, transactions with the public,
Speaker 5: including bookings, frequent flyer information, as well as human resources
Speaker 5: human resources info on their employees, so.
Speaker 3: All of that is going to do. This is going
Speaker 3: to tell you they're going to feed it to AI models.
Speaker 3: I don't like that.
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess it's putting in all these AI
Speaker 6: models there. They're just buying books and there's buying, buying
Speaker 6: and destroying. Do you see how they scan them? Somehow
Speaker 6: they destroy them when they scan them, A big oh, it's.
Speaker 9: Big scissor thing cuts the book and then just feeds
Speaker 9: every book and it's it's some sort of you have
Speaker 9: to do it, and you have to do it because
Speaker 9: it's some sort of copyright law.
Speaker 8: They have to destroy it as they scan it. It's
Speaker 8: a single book though, it's not every book made. You know, well,
Speaker 8: they're doing it to every book. No, they're only scanning
Speaker 8: one book. That was the misleading title. Uh article, what
Speaker 8: do you mean? Of course they're like the same book
Speaker 8: twice book. Yeah, and all the other books are still available. Sure,
Speaker 8: but people with the article makes it sound like they're
Speaker 8: destroying all book.
Speaker 3: Unless it's a really rare book that there's only one.
Speaker 3: There's only one that you that's probably.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're just they're going to destroy they will because
Speaker 9: there's some sort of copyright law forces them because it'd
Speaker 9: be the same as copying the book, and then you
Speaker 9: have two copies because you've copied it, so you if
Speaker 9: you scan it, you have to destroy the originally one
Speaker 9: copy left and it's in the AI.
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
Speaker 9: Well, I mean, so imagine any sort of email or correspondence,
Speaker 9: or you don't even have to email or have correspondence.
Speaker 9: You just had to be a customer of spirit like
Speaker 9: I was, like most of us probably were a flowing spirit.
Speaker 3: And now who knows what kind of stuff they're going
Speaker 3: to they're buying data like that all the time. Yeah, man,
Speaker 3: that's not ten for that data. Okay, go on, dude.
Speaker 5: Flight attendance and pilots are at the highest risk of
Speaker 5: dying from radiation related cancers, even more than people who
Speaker 5: work with radioactive materials.
Speaker 3: That's according to a new study.
Speaker 5: Cosmic radiation comes from space, only a small amount reaches
Speaker 5: the Earth's surface, but exposure is greater for people flying
Speaker 5: at high altitudes. So there's been very limited evidence from
Speaker 5: small studies suggesting that the exposure translates to higher cancer
Speaker 5: death rates among people who fly often.
Speaker 3: Again, that's pilots and flight attendants.
Speaker 5: So this new study, oh yeah, absolutely the new study
Speaker 5: brings important new evidence to bear on this question, and
Speaker 5: now they need to do even more research to see
Speaker 5: what are the exact numbers. So I thought that was
Speaker 5: kind of interesting that flight attendants and pilots.
Speaker 6: I don't know how the class action lawsuit every flight
Speaker 6: attendant that gets cancer, they're going to blame the airline.
Speaker 3: All the airlines are going to get sued. You should
Speaker 3: have known. We'll see all right.
Speaker 5: In Denver, they are replacing a street sign after a
Speaker 5: photo on social media show that it was misspelled. The
Speaker 5: California sign at the intersection of Nineteenth and California Streets
Speaker 5: was reportedly installed on Monday. The photo drew hundreds of comments,
Speaker 5: including a Facebook post from Denver Mayor Mike Johnston that
Speaker 5: said the city would leave spellcheck on before creating another sign.
Speaker 3: It says Californina, no California. Very very funny. So they
Speaker 3: had to remove that sign.
Speaker 5: And that's it. That's the shizzy on Rovers Morning Glory.
Speaker 1: Wow, become an insta celebrity when you call into the
Speaker 1: show with video. After you video call Rovers Morning Glory,
Speaker 1: everyone will recognize you as the genius with the best and.
Speaker 3: Smartest comment of all time.
Speaker 10: Just download the Rover Radio app and use it to
Speaker 10: video call the show. Fame Away with video calls inside
Speaker 10: the Rover Radio app, available in app stores.
Speaker 3: For some reason, I don't know why, but.
Speaker 6: This this woman in this in Detroit, she's a news anchor.
Speaker 3: There's video of her. Now, they obviously don't like this jake.
Speaker 6: She's been fired from the I believe it's the Fox
Speaker 6: affiliate there. She's now suing the Fox affiliate for firing her.
Speaker 6: But she must have been a real piece of work,
Speaker 6: a real bitch, and it reminds me of somebody.
Speaker 3: So they must.
Speaker 6: Hate this woman so much that they secretly record her,
Speaker 6: like when she's making you know, her whole hold on
Speaker 6: to the stuff, like when she's cutting a promo or
Speaker 6: a PSA or something. Because here's a video of her
Speaker 6: in the middle of recording a public service announcement when
Speaker 6: she starts confronting an employee at the radio station who
Speaker 6: I believe was EV station, her boss.
Speaker 3: What did I say, radio station out? Sorry, I'm projecting
Speaker 3: onto Doogie here. I think this is no this is
Speaker 3: a TV station. So she's recording this PSA.
Speaker 6: Somebody there's some sort of dispute about she has the
Speaker 6: script open over here, and then they need the script
Speaker 6: open over there.
Speaker 3: But here, listen to this slash given guide. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: do that again. What's up tip trace figure?
Speaker 11: I am, I'm an Amy script the Amy's Angels one
Speaker 11: there was the second thing didn't make sense.
Speaker 3: I was just trying to fix that part, and.
Speaker 11: I know, but I didn't have time because we have
Speaker 11: to do this, so I was still reading it.
Speaker 3: See.
Speaker 11: I mean, I can't wait for you to go through
Speaker 11: them all and then I go through them, because then
Speaker 11: I'm already getting ready by that. But this time we
Speaker 11: had to do the PSAs.
Speaker 3: So finish what? Okay?
Speaker 11: Cashawn just came in here and said something about marking
Speaker 11: off go ahead.
Speaker 3: I don't think you are.
Speaker 11: You're walking out really angry bitch.
Speaker 3: Geez oh, Pete, I.
Speaker 11: Can I feel?
Speaker 3: Please finish what I'm gonna say? What the fuck? Grow up?
Speaker 10: Hey?
Speaker 3: He's trying to calm her down.
Speaker 11: I'm so done with her antics telling on me every
Speaker 11: five seconds.
Speaker 3: I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. Who does this sound like? Nobody?
Speaker 3: I know? Both of sound like? Does what? Both of them?
Speaker 9: The other lady too? You have to try to antagonize
Speaker 9: one another oh, yes, and they've done it. And then
Speaker 9: they pushed this lady out apparently. I don't know, I
Speaker 9: don't know the whole relationship there, but obviously the newslady
Speaker 9: sounds just like Dougie saying.
Speaker 3: You're a bitch, You're a bitch. They're saying. This lady
Speaker 3: is named Taren Asher. She was fired by Fox.
Speaker 6: She's now suing them claiming sex discrimination, gender discrimination.
Speaker 9: She was she was fired because she's a woman. She says,
Speaker 9: what I mean, the lady she was arguing with was
Speaker 9: a lady. Yeah, uh and so.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what's the sex discrimination.
Speaker 3: She just says that because she's a woman, that's why
Speaker 3: they were discriminating against her.
Speaker 4: Stage Magic just came out and say, we fired because
Speaker 4: she's a bitch.
Speaker 3: Exactly.
Speaker 6: That's that's well, that is essentially what Fox said.
Speaker 9: They said, No, we are not. We didn't fire her
Speaker 9: because of her gender. We fired her because of her
Speaker 9: conduct towards other employees and her extreme it's extremely difficult
Speaker 9: to work as just a general nastiness and unpleasantness to
Speaker 9: be around. Yes, just makes things worse when they're around,
Speaker 9: just kind of stirring the pot, just causing problems, doing
Speaker 9: things the wrong way on purpose, especially like getting a
Speaker 9: meeting invite, reading it and just being like I'm not
Speaker 9: going to that just for no reason other than just
Speaker 9: a flex for some reason.
Speaker 3: And loves confronting people. I loves Yes, So.
Speaker 6: This is it does sort of remind me of Douge
Speaker 6: that that is when when I watch it newscaster, that's
Speaker 6: sort of like it.
Speaker 3: Gives me goosebumps because at yes, not turned on.
Speaker 9: It gives me kind of scared, like this is what
Speaker 9: I have to this is I'm glad that you. I'm
Speaker 9: glad that you get to see it and see what
Speaker 9: other people have to deal with.
Speaker 3: This is what it's like.
Speaker 9: See and now you're just you won't even admit it.
Speaker 9: Just watch it. You don't feel that that lady's being
Speaker 9: a kind of a bitch. When you do, you don't
Speaker 9: pick up on any of it, pick up on what
Speaker 9: you're throwing down, No pick up like, oh.
Speaker 3: This is kind of what I'm like to be around. Difficult. Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm not difficult. M m m rovers difficult mm hmmm.
Speaker 9: It's just it's just a general nastiness, yes, just as.
Speaker 3: Nastiness, and it's it's probably stupid too, right, Charlie.
Speaker 6: She's this news anchor is probably stupid and doesn't realize
Speaker 6: how stupid she is.
Speaker 9: Just like she's reading, she's reading this script. It's not ready.
Speaker 9: I mean, that was the whole thing. You're it's not No, no,
Speaker 9: I don't know if it's somebody else's Amy's Angels.
Speaker 3: Was the p s A.
Speaker 9: So they're saying like, I'm reading the Amy script for
Speaker 9: Amy's Angels, and they're like, well, it's not done, idiot,
Speaker 9: what are you doing? You're gonna have to redo this again.
Speaker 9: So I'm trying to warn you don't do it right
Speaker 9: now because you can't tell her anything. No, no, I
Speaker 9: can't tell he or anything.
Speaker 3: Not sure about that. Okay, let me take a quick break.
Speaker 6: Eight six six yeo Rover eight sixty six nine six

Speaker 6: back on Rover's Morning Glory.
Speaker 3: Hang on, professor in New York. You're on Rover's Morning Glory.
Speaker 3: Good morning. How do you do Rover? Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 12: I just wanted to bring up about Doozey's just fighting
Speaker 12: all the time against you. She's like Mack's wife, you guys.
Speaker 12: He guys brought up examples of her and she just
Speaker 12: doesn't want to see it. I'm kind of curious if
Speaker 12: he did that with the microphone in front of her face,
Speaker 12: shed it in her ear or cheek her forehead. Then
Speaker 12: today you asked her to go to the right side
Speaker 12: of the microphone.
Speaker 3: Yes, she thought she wants to stand on the left
Speaker 3: side and hide her Yeah. You literally cannot tell her anything.
Speaker 6: There's something wrong with her brain, and I do believe
Speaker 6: it's oppositional defiant disorder. We've looked at the symptoms or
Speaker 6: the telltale signs of odd oppositional defiant disorder.
Speaker 3: I think do she has.
Speaker 6: Well, you just cannot tell her to do anything.
Speaker 5: What is wrong with I am not oppositional or defiant, No, not.
Speaker 3: She does anything that you tell her to do.
Speaker 6: She does the exact opposite because she enjoys aggravating people.
Speaker 6: She enjoys kissing people off, and she's a kick out
Speaker 6: of that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I mean doing it right now. She's a bitch,
Speaker 3: just like that newscaster. She's a total bitch. Yes, thank you, professor.
Speaker 3: I'm not a bitch.
Speaker 5: I just I got a lot of people coming at
Speaker 5: me at different ways, and I just put my walls
Speaker 5: up so that you can come at me and it
Speaker 5: just goes poo poo, poo poo and it bounces off,
Speaker 5: just like that newscaster bounces right off of her.
Speaker 3: What's what's going on with this sweatshirt of yours? I
Speaker 3: don't do It's like clash, It's like plash dance. What
Speaker 3: are you wearing underneath it? It's a tank top. I'm
Speaker 3: wearing black and white theme. Buddy. Why because it's white?
Speaker 3: You rip this sweatshirt yourself? No, my daughter cut it,
Speaker 3: so I was like calling me wear it. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: that's not it's a good look. I think you're just
Speaker 3: jealous of me. Okay. There's a.
Speaker 6: Two teachers are complaining about their school district in Nashville,
Speaker 6: and they have a claim that they're making.
Speaker 3: Now, I'm curious if this happens all the time.
Speaker 6: And when I was a kid and I was in school,
Speaker 6: I would hope that the teacher would help me by
Speaker 6: giving me a passion grade that I didn't deserve, right,
Speaker 6: Like it would be your dream scenario.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just get sick of you and they're like,
Speaker 3: let's get this cat out of here. Yes, yes, and
Speaker 3: you hope that they'll do that for you. But these
Speaker 3: two teachers in Nashville, they are complaining about what's going
Speaker 3: on in the school district.
Speaker 7: There.
Speaker 3: Let me see if I can jump into this. Give
Speaker 3: me one sick and here we go, D D D
Speaker 3: give me I'm sick.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna play you this little here we go, this
Speaker 6: making the great investigation.
Speaker 13: The second floor of her condo is where Samirra Hartcastle
Speaker 13: is starting over.
Speaker 3: This is my art studio and I usually paint people.
Speaker 13: After eight years of teaching Arts and Metro schools, including
Speaker 13: being named the twenty twenty five twenty twenty six Teacher
Speaker 13: of the Year at John F. Kennedy Middle School, she
Speaker 13: decided to end her career.
Speaker 3: I put in my resignation in May.
Speaker 13: The reason spelled out in her resignation letter fabricating grades
Speaker 13: at the direction, she says.
Speaker 3: Of district administrators.
Speaker 7: And they just want me to shut up and go
Speaker 7: along with the game that they're playing. And I'm not.
Speaker 13: Hardcastle is now the second former Metro teacher who alleges
Speaker 13: an emails and resignation letters that administrators directed them to
Speaker 13: change failing grades.
Speaker 3: Hardcastle believes this for one reason.
Speaker 7: It makes our scores look better. I mean, as a district,
Speaker 7: it makes things look better.
Speaker 13: In Hardcastle's case, she says a student failed to complete
Speaker 13: an art project, so she gave the student a failing
Speaker 13: grade on the assignment. She says the student's parent then
Speaker 13: tried to intervene. The dispute reached the district level, in
Speaker 13: which Hardcastle says three administrators met with a parent and
Speaker 13: decided Hardcastle hadn't provided the proper rubric.
Speaker 3: For the assignment. So they all, what's a rule brick?
Speaker 3: What's it?
Speaker 4: By the way, I get surmise, it's like the blueprint Earth.
Speaker 4: What's required of the assignment?
Speaker 3: Destruction?
Speaker 4: I guess, yeah, against constructions for the assignment. I never
Speaker 4: heard that term until day.
Speaker 3: Oh, so you just came up with this. That's correct?
Speaker 3: Actually it is right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, good job context clues. Good job there, Jeffrey, a
Speaker 6: proper rubric.
Speaker 13: Hadn't provided the proper rubric for the assignment, so they
Speaker 13: all came to.
Speaker 7: The conclusion that had to change our grade. I did
Speaker 7: not change our grade. They did, I refuse.
Speaker 13: Emails obtained by WSMB four investigates show former John Overton
Speaker 13: High School math teacher Diana Wills also fought back against
Speaker 13: changing failing grades, writing what is being done is unethical
Speaker 13: and could very well be interpreted as illegal. The emails
Speaker 13: show that administrators wrote Wills had failed students but had
Speaker 13: not alerted their parents to their failing grades as required
Speaker 13: by district policy, and that because of it, she needed
Speaker 13: to pass the students, giving them a d. Wills fired back,
Speaker 13: saying one student was told many times to make up
Speaker 13: the exams and never did, and that she was out
Speaker 13: on medical leave for much of one semester, and asking
Speaker 13: when was I supposed to be contacting parents, writing quote,
Speaker 13: you can cook the books to have the data look
Speaker 13: the way.
Speaker 3: You needed to.
Speaker 13: For three days, WSMB four Investigates has been asking Metro
Speaker 13: Schools for an interview.
Speaker 3: Instead, we received emails the.
Speaker 13: District spokesment writing in Will's case, there was a difference
Speaker 13: of opinion on district policies and so essentially what.
Speaker 6: They're saying, these two teachers are saying that the school
Speaker 6: district is trying to pass basically everybody to make themselves
Speaker 6: look better.
Speaker 3: And what comes with that is more money from the government.
Speaker 3: So the better you do, the more money you get.
Speaker 3: And that's why these.
Speaker 6: School districts are purposely passing people at don't.
Speaker 9: Deserve to be passed. Now do you think that this
Speaker 9: is a common thing that's going in Absolutely, because like
Speaker 9: when I was a kid, you would just fail and
Speaker 9: they keep you, they keep you a grade, they go
Speaker 9: you're not going on to the next grade. Now you
Speaker 9: think that they're just letting everybody go through whether they
Speaker 9: can read or write or do were your stories that
Speaker 9: there's people that graduate high school they can't they can't read,
Speaker 9: and you're like, that's unbelievable. I think they're passing tons
Speaker 9: of people just wanted to make their district look better.
Speaker 9: But two, just get the annoying kid out, Like if
Speaker 9: he's ruining the class, you want to deal with them
Speaker 9: another year and just be like, Okay, we're gonna have
Speaker 9: to deal with him, and then he's not gonna do
Speaker 9: good the next year, so just give him a D minus.
Speaker 9: He gets out of your hair and you're done and
Speaker 9: you don't have to deal with it.
Speaker 3: Where there was always like when I was in high school,
Speaker 3: there was always seemed to be a kid that I'm
Speaker 3: sure he wasn't, but he always appeared to be about
Speaker 3: twenty four years old. And it's like still in like
Speaker 3: his third year as a.
Speaker 6: Senior, or something like it, which is always like an
Speaker 6: old like a kid who could never pass, usually for.
Speaker 3: A black leather jacket or something.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And but now they don't do that, you're telling me,
Speaker 3: they just pass everybody. Well, that's in that uh news
Speaker 3: thing too.
Speaker 8: The parents are to blame because back when, back when
Speaker 8: we were kids, parents had no like no say it
Speaker 8: was the teachers, there was number one. Now it's flipped
Speaker 8: the teacher or the parents would come in, oh, no,
Speaker 8: you better not do this to my kids. Yeah, and
Speaker 8: then teacher.
Speaker 3: I remember parent teacher conferences that my mom would go to,
Speaker 3: and it was always, at least it seemed that the
Speaker 3: teachers were the ones who were telling the parents about you.
Speaker 3: Now it's the other way around. It's the parents who
Speaker 3: are telling.
Speaker 6: The teachers how they're going to grade their kid, how
Speaker 6: they're going to handle their kid and all that.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: But that is kind of shocking that they would try
Speaker 6: to change all these screens. But I did just say
Speaker 6: I saw another story that it was a college what
Speaker 6: was it a college? A college professor who is who
Speaker 6: teaches I think calculus or something, you know, a college
Speaker 6: level calculus, and that the kids can't even they barely
Speaker 6: can do even basic math when they come into college,
Speaker 6: and she fully blamed the lacks entry requirements that they
Speaker 6: have to get into college now because they don't want
Speaker 6: anybody to feel bad. Oh, you don't have the grades
Speaker 6: to get into college. Ooh, that might be traumatic, it
Speaker 6: might make you feel icky, and they just let everybody in.
Speaker 6: It could also be that they just want the money
Speaker 6: and then they don't want to look like they have
Speaker 6: a bunch of failing kids, so they have to juice
Speaker 6: the grades they have to They have to give them
Speaker 6: passing grades.
Speaker 13: Great changes did quote not meaningfully affect the student's final
Speaker 13: outcome in those courses. In response to Hardcastle's complaints, the
Speaker 13: spokesman wrote, her claim does not fully reflect what occurred.
Speaker 13: As for the incomplete art project, there was no written
Speaker 13: school wide policy at the time that prohibited the students
Speaker 13: from being given an opportunity.
Speaker 3: To complete the work. So the student finished the project
Speaker 3: and got the grade.
Speaker 6: So, in other words, if you don't finish they they're
Speaker 6: what they're claiming is the student didn't finish the work,
Speaker 6: but we had no policy against not finishing your work
Speaker 6: and turning it in on time, so then we give
Speaker 6: you the opportunity to finish it.
Speaker 3: After we tell you your past due, we we have
Speaker 3: to give you.
Speaker 6: I mean, this is not setting kids up for success
Speaker 6: in the real world, because your job isn't going to
Speaker 6: do that. They're not going to go, oh yeah, you
Speaker 6: didn't do your work, well, okay, just do it this week. Okay, please,
Speaker 6: pretty please. That's not how it's going to work. Eight
Speaker 6: sixty six yell were over eight sixty six nine sixty
Speaker 6: seven six eight three seven.
Speaker 14: I finish what you feel like it, when you have
Speaker 14: finish it, when you feel like doing it, Just turn
Speaker 14: it in whenever you on. When we were young, it
Speaker 14: was every day that you didn't turn it in by
Speaker 14: the due date, it went down a grade, it went
Speaker 14: down a percentage.
Speaker 3: There was some kind of consequence in place. Well, the
Speaker 3: kid could just say, oh, I was having a mental
Speaker 3: health day and I was unable to complete my work. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, when I was in school, we had very old
Speaker 4: school teachers, and they give you a deadline.
Speaker 3: You stick by that deadline period. That was just the
Speaker 3: way it was.
Speaker 9: You'd be lucky if you could talk to them into
Speaker 9: giving it to you the next day at yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 9: it never happened.
Speaker 4: I would say in my kid, you know, in a
Speaker 4: case like from my time in school that let's say
Speaker 4: if you were absent the day a particular exam was given,
Speaker 4: you would have you make it up, and you had
Speaker 4: we had like you could do it like that day,
Speaker 4: or you could turn the next day.
Speaker 3: That was the only exception to the rule. But you
Speaker 3: all started.
Speaker 6: This all started when the no Kid Left Behind law
Speaker 6: was implemented, which means they ask everybody so the district
Speaker 6: looks good and they get more money. Justin says, I
Speaker 6: worked with a guy he could read at a very
Speaker 6: basic level. I used to have to sign his name
Speaker 6: for him because he didn't have an actual signature. And
Speaker 6: this way I actually graduated high school. How can you
Speaker 6: live your life without having a signature.
Speaker 3: I don't buy that. You don't teach cursive anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but you're always signing your name, Like, well.
Speaker 6: Why how would you know how to sign it if
Speaker 6: they don't teach cursive. Your signature is cursive.
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be. You can be. It's a.
Speaker 9: But it's derived from cursive generally, right, Yeah, but it
Speaker 9: doesn't have to be. You could break whatever you want. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 9: Charlie is right.
Speaker 7: You can do.
Speaker 3: You could just make swirrels if you wanted to.
Speaker 9: Remember when I used to get detentions, I would sign
Speaker 9: the print symbol and that was my signature, the print symbol,
Speaker 9: the prince prince.
Speaker 4: Oh, but that strange genuine symbol that he uses, but
Speaker 4: he changes name to that the student period, like the
Speaker 4: mid nineties.
Speaker 3: That's what I used to do. And they're really annoyed
Speaker 3: and say that wasn't my signature, and I said, yes
Speaker 3: it is. Wendy says, my husband is a guy at
Speaker 3: his shop that's attempting to sue the school district because
Speaker 3: his kids are failing. But that's not it.
Speaker 6: How How is that the school district's fault. That's your
Speaker 6: your kid's fault. They're stupid. You have stupid, lazy kids.
Speaker 6: That's what it boils down to. And then people go, oh,
Speaker 6: my kid needs special help. Well, if that's on you.
Speaker 6: If your kid needs special help, to me, it's on you,
Speaker 6: not everybody else that has to you know, slow down
Speaker 6: and wait for your kid and everything.
Speaker 3: So that's that's a problem that you have to deal
Speaker 3: with now. For sure.
Speaker 4: You know another trend I've noticed though over you don't
Speaker 4: have a lot of kids are using technology like an
Speaker 4: iPad or a small laptop or a chromebook to do
Speaker 4: the schoolwork. A lot of school districts around the country.
Speaker 4: And I've read this that they're reverting back to the
Speaker 4: old the old school away. When I'm saying the old school,
Speaker 4: I'm talkingbou at the dark ages pen paper in a textbook,
Speaker 4: and I say, they've seen improvements, uh in kids because
Speaker 4: they're going reverting back to that.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and they can wait, they can't use chat
Speaker 3: you bet anymore.
Speaker 6: If you're doing that, that's probably smart and lock up
Speaker 6: their phones like they're doing in some schools. It's like
Speaker 6: you said, definitely, I think helps out. Here's the rest
Speaker 6: of this story.
Speaker 13: After speaking with WSMB four investigates, Hardcastle then went before
Speaker 13: the school board Tuesday night, publicly making her claims about
Speaker 13: changing failing grades.
Speaker 3: It creates false entitlement. What happens when these kids lie.
Speaker 7: To eat, and cry their way through school and end
Speaker 7: up as future doctors, police or politicians.
Speaker 13: Samir Hardcastle says she has now left the teaching profession entirely.
Speaker 13: Before she quits, she was given a disciplinary action accused
Speaker 13: of unprofessional communication with another parent and student.
Speaker 3: Now he asked Dianah Wills for.
Speaker 13: An interview, but she is now suing the district for
Speaker 13: suspending her in Her attorney declined our requests.
Speaker 3: Jeremy, I think a lot of parents watching this.
Speaker 11: May be surprised to learn that a Metro teacher does
Speaker 11: not have the final word on his student's grade.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Roy Tracy. They don't, according to these emails.
Speaker 13: Principles can and do make the final decisions in these conflicts.
Speaker 13: If there's something you want me to know now, I
Speaker 13: would I would understand, Like I think, it is a
Speaker 13: real thing.
Speaker 6: Sometimes some sometimes teachers and particular kids don't get along right,
Speaker 6: and they were certainly in my case, I had teachers
Speaker 6: that I didn't like.
Speaker 3: They didn't like me, and so they might be a
Speaker 3: little bit harder on somebody.
Speaker 6: I think you could say the only way you could
Speaker 6: say that you could change a grade is if you
Speaker 6: if if you proved as a kid, the parent of
Speaker 6: a kid, you say, look he did the work here
Speaker 6: it is got a he got an F. He should
Speaker 6: have gotten a C. Look at the actual work, look
Speaker 6: at the grade, look at the score. You know, if
Speaker 6: there's something like that going on, maybe you could intervene
Speaker 6: and change a grade. But if they don't do the
Speaker 6: work at all, I don't know how you can say, oh,
Speaker 6: we're going to go ahead and change the grade. So
Speaker 6: you think they do this in your kids' school.
Speaker 5: Where the people higher up change it. I think it's
Speaker 5: in every school. To be honest, I think that they
Speaker 5: have to protect the money that's coming in. But I
Speaker 5: also think that these kids are given many opportunities and
Speaker 5: if they don't do it, it's on them. You have
Speaker 5: to be held accountable for your actions at school.
Speaker 6: If this is how they're getting money, it's just by
Speaker 6: juicing the numbers of kids that get good grades, and
Speaker 6: the higher the grades, the more money they make. You
Speaker 6: there's an incentive for those schools to lie about it.
Speaker 6: I think you have to take away that incentive. You
Speaker 6: have to change this.
Speaker 5: You'll never take that away. You want to schools because
Speaker 5: they need money.
Speaker 3: Oh, you can give them money, but why would you
Speaker 3: tie And.
Speaker 5: I don't think they're like I don't think it might
Speaker 5: just be one or two people through the year.
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't think it's a lie. I think it's Oh,
Speaker 3: I think it's very common.
Speaker 6: One or two people is not going to be enough
Speaker 6: to change Their funding otis d Torch.
Speaker 3: Rights. I'm a retired educator in Central New York. This
Speaker 3: happens all the time.
Speaker 6: The administration overrules teachers in order to push kids through.
Speaker 6: It is all about graduation statistics. A good friend of
Speaker 6: mine is a PE teacher. She had a student who
Speaker 6: didn't participate the entire year. At the end of the year,
Speaker 6: she refused to pass the kid, but the administration stepped
Speaker 6: in and said he needs to pass. They forced her
Speaker 6: to give the student credit for mowing his grandmother's law.
Speaker 3: That not gets you the pass in PE class.
Speaker 6: I guess if you mow your grandmother's law and Big
Speaker 6: Daddy twenty three fifty eight says, good for this teacher
Speaker 6: for exposing this bs.
Speaker 3: She should be commended. Yeah, as a kid, you couldn't.
Speaker 3: You couldn't get away with this.
Speaker 5: There's a my daughter just started school and she's in
Speaker 5: pre calculus and they're doing something different there. The teacher
Speaker 5: says that you won't have homework. We're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 5: flip it. We're not gonna give you homework to do
Speaker 5: it at home. You're gonna do the math, the calculus
Speaker 5: in the schoolat so because if you go home and
Speaker 5: gia it for her. She gets it, like I don't
Speaker 5: get math, but she sees the puzzle, she fixes it.
Speaker 5: I personally can't do it, and some of our friends
Speaker 5: would be like crying, I can't figure this out.
Speaker 3: Can you help?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 9: How do?
Speaker 5: I can't see it? So what this teacher is doing?
Speaker 5: And I've never seen this? They're flipping it when.
Speaker 1: You go home.
Speaker 5: There's some videos you can watch on how to do it,
Speaker 5: and then in class when you can't figure it out,
Speaker 5: the teacher is there to tell that's just.
Speaker 8: To stop from cheating too and to actually teach them. Yeah,
Speaker 8: is that you're saying I think they give kids too
Speaker 8: much homework. I think you should when you go home.
Speaker 8: I don't think you should have to be worried about homework.
Speaker 8: I think all of your learning should be done in school.
Speaker 3: It's the way. I think it's much for these kids.
Speaker 3: I think hours. Some of these kids get three or
Speaker 3: four hours of homework every night. Yeah, no, I I yeah.
Speaker 5: And we're going through some weird stuff right now with
Speaker 5: scheduling because it's a lot for the homework that she's
Speaker 5: about to get for her junior year, and then she
Speaker 5: doesn't get home until nine fifteen at night, and that's
Speaker 5: on her because she's choosing to do these activities. But
Speaker 5: it is a lot of homework that these kids do.
Speaker 5: Some of them are quit dance or anything though right
Speaker 5: now only two years left. So you're yeah, because that's
Speaker 5: your social circle, so you're forcing this.
Speaker 3: I'm totally forcing her to stay in those activities. But
Speaker 3: it is a lot of homework.
Speaker 6: And says, my nine year old son was diagnosed with dyslexia,
Speaker 6: Should he not get extra time or extra help?
Speaker 3: He should get help in time?
Speaker 6: Get is she get that's whatever help? But I do
Speaker 6: believe like that is kind of on the parent to
Speaker 6: be able to facilitate that. Like I don't know does
Speaker 6: the school district are they? Are they responsible for every like, like,
Speaker 6: come on, I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's just I think the parent has to help out there,
Speaker 3: and I don't know whatever they can change in school
Speaker 3: for that. But if you have an actual legitimate thing,
Speaker 3: dyslexia seems legitimate to me. But so many of these kids,
Speaker 3: they don't actually have any issues. It's just that the
Speaker 3: parents will say, oh, he has this, or he has that,
Speaker 3: or he's on the spectrum, or he has blah. Blah blah,
Speaker 3: the you know everything is an excuse for their kid
Speaker 3: underperforming and for them being a bad parent. Speaking of teachers,
Speaker 3: here's another teacher. She's been this other teacher. This is
Speaker 3: in Fresno, California. She has been put on administrative leave
Speaker 3: right now. She posted a video where she said that
Speaker 3: she is starting a well here, listen, she's starting a militia.
Speaker 15: But listen to this started today. I'm starting a black militia.
Speaker 15: So if you're black, if you want to shoot some guns,
Speaker 15: come find me. We're gonna rob some white people.
Speaker 6: All right, We're gonna rob some white people, she says,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna start a black militia.
Speaker 3: We're gonna shoot some guns. Come find me. We're gonna
Speaker 3: go rob some white people. This is a teacher saying this.
Speaker 3: That's a teacher. That's a big problem.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 3: So we just talked to a guy who who's son
Speaker 3: earlier today. He just started college a few days ago.
Speaker 6: He put a bluetooth speaker in his backpack and was
Speaker 6: playing fart sound effects and made some sort of comment
Speaker 6: about blowing up the bathroom or blowing up the building
Speaker 6: with this with farts, diarrhea.
Speaker 3: Whatever. Somebody overheard that, and now he has to go
Speaker 3: in front.
Speaker 6: Of a judge because they're gonna they want to charge
Speaker 6: him with, you know, making a threat or something because
Speaker 6: one on one.
Speaker 4: Of the things was over because the context was not clarified.
Speaker 4: Will you say, in the context of farts, you say
Speaker 4: you're just gonna make the room to stick really really
Speaker 4: bad for other people? That context was never really clarified.
Speaker 4: They thought he was actually going to actually do blow
Speaker 4: up the building.
Speaker 3: It's you know, what context would this teacher?
Speaker 6: What context could there be of this teacher saying I'm
Speaker 6: going to start a black militia.
Speaker 3: Let's go shoot some guns. We're gonna rob some white
Speaker 3: Now context.
Speaker 4: I would I would imagine, I would venture to believe
Speaker 4: that it would probably be that doing that, And I'm like,
Speaker 4: I would be scared if I saw something like I.
Speaker 3: Think it's clear she's joking, but I don't know if
Speaker 3: you should.
Speaker 4: But you got to remember and if you listen to
Speaker 4: her intonation that she doesn't sound like she's joking, you
Speaker 4: though she she might.
Speaker 3: Say she's choking, but it does not sitify in the
Speaker 3: way she spoke it.
Speaker 6: Could I go and say, you know what, we're uh,
Speaker 6: you know, hey, everyone, I'm gonna start a white militia
Speaker 6: group and we're gonna go lynch some black people. So
Speaker 6: come on and enjoin me. Bring your rope. No, I
Speaker 6: would hope you're joking. You could see that it's a joke.
Speaker 6: It's not funny.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying. I'm not saying you should know. I don't.
Speaker 9: I'm just saying I think she's joking when she says this.
Speaker 9: It's not it's not funny, though I agree. Her name
Speaker 9: is Kenisha Daily. She's a special ed teacher in Fresno.
Speaker 9: And uh, I don't know what's the second video of her?
Speaker 9: She says, Laura, let me play it because I started over.
Speaker 9: You can hear this, and then I guess there's another rest.
Speaker 15: I started today. I'm starting a black militia. So if
Speaker 15: you're black, if you want to shoot some guns, come
Speaker 15: find me. We're gonna rob some white people.
Speaker 7: And I say that.
Speaker 16: People are providing back against ice, and I believe that
Speaker 16: it's powerful. I know that people want a revolution, do
Speaker 16: want things to change, and I support that. Calling for
Speaker 16: a revolution, I support that, But just look at history
Speaker 16: and now what could be at stake.
Speaker 6: Okay, So she's a calling for a revolution. Apparently that
Speaker 6: involves robbing white people. I think now they've put her
Speaker 6: on leave, you should just be I mean, I'm usually
Speaker 6: against firing people, giving people second chance, but this is
Speaker 6: a teacher. You should know better than to post something
Speaker 6: like this. This is If a student did this, you'd
Speaker 6: expel the student. If a teacher does this, you don't
Speaker 6: just put them on leave for a week and they
Speaker 6: go it's okay. You probably have to get rid of
Speaker 6: the teacher. I've got to take a break. Eight sixty
Speaker 6: six and Yo, Rover is our number eight six six
Speaker 6: nine six seven six eight three seven.
