1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Today, we call a substitute teacher who's filling in for

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: a fourth grade class. The original teachers out on maternity leave,

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: so the new one's only been there for about a

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: week so far. But still, that's plenty of time for

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: one parent to come up with a long list of

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: critiques and teaching adjustments that she thinks she needs to make,

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: and Brooks list ranges from the mildly unreasonable to completely insane,

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: so we'll see how she handles it.

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: And your phones appen right now. Hello?

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 3: Hi is this Jamie? Yes, Hi, Jamie. My name is Heather.

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: My son Caleb is in your fourth grade class. Oh Caleb, Yes, Hi,

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:49,639
Speaker 3: Ue to meet you.

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: Nice to meet you too. Caleb is such a great kid.

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: Oh you're being serious? Okay?

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 3: You obviously don't live with him. Oh no, agree, he's

17
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: very attentive in class. Good to hear the medications working.

18
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: Oh.

19
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,279
Speaker 2: So, the reason I'm calling is I know you're new

20
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: and filling it for Miss Jennifer who's on maternity leave.

21
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: So it looks like your first.

22
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: Week isn't going as well as when Miss Jennifer is

23
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: in charge.

24
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't what do you mean? I don't

25
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: understand we're having a great week.

26
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: Well you might be, but Caleb comes home and says

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: he's not happy or fulfilled.

28
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: He uses that word fulfilled.

29
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: He does.

30
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: He knows lots of big words. You should teach him

31
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: some more. Oh yeah, I mean we're working. I thought

32
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: we could just go over a few things that Miss

33
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: Jennifer does to help, and maybe you could adopt them too.

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could do them.

35
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: Oh oh well, I'm open to hearing what they are.

36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: Right. So number one is I need you to stop

37
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: riding on the whiteboard with your left.

38
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: Hand with my left hand, though maybe not.

39
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: In this class, because it's very confusing for Caleb.

40
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: He's right handed.

41
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, Caleb's his right handed I noticed, but

42
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: he can write with his right hand.

43
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: Okay, let's adapt. Okay, let's adapt.

44
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 2: So just put it in your other hand that pin,

45
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: you know, seems pretty simple. Oh well, and I'd also

46
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: like you to prepare a hot cup of tea for

47
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: Caleb each morning when he arrives.

48
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: Miss Jennifer would do that with a.

49
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: Little slice eleven. But I won't ask that of you.

50
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: That maybe asking too much. Wow, I'm going to have

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: to talk to the vice principle about this. I didn't

52
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: know anything about them. Something else you might not know

53
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: is Caleb lost part of his finger in an accident

54
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: at home.

55
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: I have it in a ziplock in the freezer.

56
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry I did.

57
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: Oh, it's okay. It happened a long time ago.

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: But Miss Jennifer would always let him bring it in

59
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: for show and tell, pass it around the room. He

60
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: would like pass his finger to other kids. I don't

61
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 2: understand just from that first knuckle up is what got severed.

62
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: So the kids love it. They love it.

63
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: You know what, though, I'll have him bring it in

64
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: a cooler because there was a problem with smell last time.

65
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: Oh god, darn little thing heats up like a Frankfurter for.

66
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: Those little ones like you have it the your dervs.

67
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: That's kind of what it looks like.

68
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: Mom.

69
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, but I need to go.

70
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: Oh shoot, yeah, yeah, you know what. I just have

71
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: one more thing to ask you. I know your time

72
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: is so important, So I was just wondering. This isn't

73
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: really a formal.

74
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: Request, but just an option.

75
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: Are you interested in making Caleb's lunch every day? No?

76
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: I like your reaction there, It's just that I'm so

77
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: busy with work. And I heard you don't have any children,

78
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: so I can pay you two dollars per lunch. Yet, no,

79
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: I think that's not clear boundaries.

80
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 3: That's forty dollars a month.

81
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Good, And I can't imagine what they pay substitute teachers.

82
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: I bet you need that. Oh wow, yeah, you know

83
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 3: what the no crust and only organic berries? Can you

84
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 3: make that happen?

85
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: This is really crossing a line.

86
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think miss Jennifer was doing all these things.

87
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: I find it very hard to believe.

88
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: Do you know who you should ask? Because you should

89
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: actually ask a teacher that you work with named Annie.

90
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: Do you know Miss Annie? Miss Annie?

91
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: Because she's the one that wants you to listen to

92
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 2: the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning so

93
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: you can hear the prank phone call we're doing on you.

94
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 3: Right now, right now, Joe.

95
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: What what is that, Julie Brooke, we're doing a phone

96
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: tap on you? Oh my god, Miss Annie, I'm gonna

97
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: kill her. Well, it wasn't just her, apparently it was

98
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: her and all the other teachers. They wanted to make

99
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: sure that you were welcome, since you're kind of n God,

100
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: I played hard. Is like racing right now, Like I wonder,

101
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: Oh your heart was racing because you couldn't wait to

102
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 2: see that little severed finger. Huh oh, yeah, I couldn't wait.

103
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: It's a real hit with the kids.

104
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: Wake Up every morning was phone tap weekday mornings on

105
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: the twenties, brooking Jeffrey in the morning,
