<v Speaker 1>to going back to pre kate. I think that's going

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 1>back to pre k running kick. Yes, I'm trying to

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>reach Ms Thomas, Please Thomas. My name is Mr Stapleton.

0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually the principal over at elementary school. You're I'm

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>looking at my records indicating that your son, Thomas is

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>going to be starting his first grade ready, right, listen,

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Ms Thomas, Um, I've been going through actually all of

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:17.839
<v Speaker 1>the children's records that will be starting school, and I'm

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>looking at your son's grades from his kindergarten. Well, no,

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>not exactly. I mean there's been a few. Uh. I

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 1>actually spoke with the teacher who he was under in kindergarten,

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>and it seems like he just really wasn't up to

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>par as the rest of the children. Now, his conduct, Now,

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>he talked, but he gets his work. So what else

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>is she saying that that ain't right? Well? What what's

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>what it seems to be, ma'am, is that his grades

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>weren't up to par as the rest of the other children.

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>She did tell me he was a disobedient child, talking

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>too different things. Come on, Okay, well man, listen, what

0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>we've decided here is we're gonna let a little actually

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>do another year of kindergarten. No, y'all ain't gonna let

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>him do another year kindergarten, No, sir man, that's that's

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the only choice I have a uh No. We got

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>our letter in the mail with our report card the

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>week after school started, and it said on the back promoted.

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>And if I got to get about this couch and

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.359
<v Speaker 1>go get it, I'm gonna be because I'm telling you

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>right now, we will be in the first grade kindergarten

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 1>when that hard. I'm not sure what they told you

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>about him, but it must be the wrong. Well, if

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I understanding, he's he doesn't color as well as the

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>rest of kids. He's all he's out of lines when

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>he calor. He doesn't know his numbers completely. And that's

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of what we need when you first come into

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>into the first grade. When I can show you on

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>this paper he did satisfactory all the way through. Now

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>with some about my son blank and kindergarden. He that

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of he does not color well, man, color ain't

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>to do with the dad guard kinder garden. He is

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>going to the first grade, and I'll be down there

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.320

<v Speaker 1>day that he ain't going to the day come first, man,

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I hate to say it, but I'm gonna have to

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>refuse education from him. You know what, I just went

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>back and put him in public school. I know that

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>was a stake in the first place. Food which I'm

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>talking about some coloring. Give me your name again, sir Stapleton. Man, waitmen,

<v Speaker 1>report card. I got the numb in your name on

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the back of this paper. I'll tell you what I

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 1>just tinted fourth. We'll be coming in there, going to school,

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and I might make a trip around that this evening

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>when I come from the doctor. The bottom. I'm not

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 1>want to hear that coling ain't got nothing to do

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>with nothing else. It's not only color. Here's a rhythmic

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>tickets back. No, um, are you working with him at home?

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Are you're doing anything at what you're trying to say.

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm an incompetent parent. I'm just asking, as a parent,

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>are you working with your child? Working with my child

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>every day? He can read better than you. Probably No,

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>he can't read the prinsip don't read better than you,

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>because obviously you read that role on that paper that

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.159
<v Speaker 1>he's supposed to be going back to kindergarten when I

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>know the paper saying from it going to the first grade,

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not listening to no more this about him

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>going backwards. Now, if you got a problem with your

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>paper work, maybe you need to go talk to your

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>secretary of somebody in there that wrote my baby name down.

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.719

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I know it ain't him. You're not gonna sit up
