31
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: Now, it's encouraging a lot of different levels to see

32
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 4: that the culture so engaged in financial literacy. It's not

33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: like we're talking about sports and we are talking about

34
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 4: sports entertainment, but the financial side of it, right, So

35
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 4: it's just encouraging to see that and we're not you know,

36
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 4: we don't have any ads, we didn't have any training,

37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 4: we didn't have any publication that wrote about.

38
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 5: Us go to school for this na.

41
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,200

Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so it's education, but it's so part of

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: the education if you go to any school is homecoming, right,

61
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 4: That's like the biggest thing.

62
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: That's like the biggest thing. So it's the homecoming edition.

63
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 4: Actually, as we said before, our Baltimore tides run deep,

64
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 4: but this is actually a Greenberg thing.

65
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 5: To the town, to the town, shout out to the town.

66
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 4: So we all are from Greenberg. We have special guests. Valencia.

00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: I call her Valve, So I'll be calling her valve

70
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: throughout the interview. It's just a habit of mine, but

71
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: the world.

72
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 4: She's Valencia Dclay and she's about to be doctor Clay,

73
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: so she really needs no introduction, but I'll just give

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: one anyway.

75
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: She's a rock star teacher.

76
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 4: She has changed the Court of education, how teachers teach

77
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: their classroom. She's given inspirations to millions of people. And

78
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 4: above all that, Rihanna follows her. That's like the highest

79
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: level of the only thing that is Beyonce.

80
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 6: So that's that's your biggest was like, I mean, Rihanna

81
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 6: was crazy like she like, but when Jada follows you,

82
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 6: you were.

83
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 7: Like, oh my god, was like amazing, Oh my god,

84
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 7: I died.

85
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Rihanna, Jada Holly Berry, she was in Vogue, she's

86
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 4: been on ABC News, NBC, she's working with National Geographics.

87
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 4: She's lit all the way around. So we are honored

88
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 4: to have her. And as I said, it's a Greenberg thing.

89
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: She's from Harlem too. But it's a long story. But

90
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 4: for this one, for this purpose is we're just gonna

91
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 4: claim Greenberg. So we're gonna jump right into it. We

92
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: got a lot of information to cover on education. A

93
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: money play he's behind education how it all talks, because

94
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 4: it all comes back to money. Everything in this society

95
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 4: comes back to money. So yeah, we're gonna we're gonna

96
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 4: jump right into it and let's get it gone.

97
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 7: He val.

98
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna touch on the tutoring thing because that's

99
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 6: like a billion dollar business. I don't think people really understand,

100
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 6: especially when when we were talking about the college scandal,

101
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 6: like parents trying to get their kids into schools. It's

102
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 6: a thirteen billion dollar business. But people are paying for

103
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 6: the preparation for the SAT prep for the counseling. Now

104
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 6: that's a new thing in counseling because the pressure of

105
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 6: trying to.

106
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 8: Take essays right, just that like counseling, that's social emotional.

107
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 8: So people are making money off the social emotional warfare

108
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 8: that is played on us, right, you know, and that

109
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 8: I mean us as everybody, because yeah, let's talk about

110
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 8: test anxiety, school anxiety period. I realized that my students,

111
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 8: they always do my projects late unless we do every

112
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 8: single piece of it together. If I give them something

113
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 8: to do independently this school year, and I'm not gonna

114
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 8: say that I can't fix this because we're gonna keep trying.

115
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 7: I got a whole.

116
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 8: Quarter left, but so far the school year they haven't

117
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 8: been able to turn anything in on time.

118
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 7: Why because it's hard, and that anxiety of feeling like

119
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 7: you can't even do it is so real. It's learned helplessness,

120
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 7: but it's still real. It's still real.

121
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 8: And that all comes from postal radislation syndrome, which is

122
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 8: which is financial literacy that we don't even learn about.

123
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 8: We don't learn about those aspects of what slavery did.

124
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 7: We don't learn about the financial aspects of it. We

125
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 7: don't learn who we were before brown versus bored as cities.

126
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 8: We don't learn these things in school. So it all

127
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 8: goes to curriculum cases.

128
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 5: That's what we start.

129
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 8: But none of our schools are teaching these kinds of

130
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 8: curriculums because that's not on the standardized test. So you

131
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 8: give people a standardized test and you say this is

132
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 8: what you need to do in order to say.

133
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 7: That you are intelligent.

134
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 8: So then you get schools looking at that test saying

135
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 8: I need to teach these things Y and Z only

136
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 8: so that my students will do well in this test.

137
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 7: So that our school can keep its money.

138
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 8: I just read an article in the Post this morning

139
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 8: about a mother in the Bronx she can't get her

140
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 8: five kids into any charter schools in the city. And

141
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 8: then that same publication rode a post that was in

142
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 8: favor in favor of charter schools. So I'm looking at

143
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 8: this post and I'm realizing they're using their platform right now,

144
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 8: in my opinion, to say, look, we need more charter schools.

145
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 8: See how these parents can't get their kids into charter schools.

146
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 8: They're not saying no, we need to figure out how

147
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 8: to put public funding charter funding put.

148
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 7: They're in the public buildings.

149
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 8: Why are they charter schools because it's called that it's

150
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 8: still a public school, but you're getting different money because

151
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 8: somebody else is running it with the same kind of

152
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 8: agenda to pass these standardized tests.

153
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 6: The problem and the problem with the test is it's

154
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 6: like a one size fit to one, but everybody learns different.

155
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: So, yeah, it's a business show. So always like to

156
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,239
Speaker 4: tie it in the money, and education, like all things

157
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 4: in society, is tied into money. Right, So we take

158
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 4: these tests, like you said, the charter schools versus private schools,

159
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: versus public schools, and these are things that the decisions

160
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 4: that parents are making without actually really thinking about it.

161
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 4: They're just doing it right. But ultimately it comes down

162
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: to money.

163
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 5: It's money. It's a money issue, right. The standardized test

164
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 5: is a billion dollar issue, and they are.

165
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 7: Thinking about it.

166
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 8: That mother in that article, she said, I don't want

167
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 8: to send my kids to the.

168
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 7: Public schools because their test scores are terrible. Those were

169
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 7: her words in the article. They are thinking about it.

170
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 8: They're thinking about what the oppressor wants them to think about.

171
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 7: They're thinking exactly about test scores. They're thinking about the

172
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 7: stuff that.

173
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 8: We want them to think about, financial literacy, we want

174
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 8: them to think about their history. We want them to

175
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 8: think about how to be innovative, how to become an

176
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 8: entrepreneur when you grow up in some sort of way,

177
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 8: how to become a leader, how to become you know

178
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 8: something more than somebody tells you you have to do

179
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 8: the same thing over and over nine to five robot.

180
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 7: We are we want that.

181
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 8: But these parents that are saying let's send us to

182
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 8: a sent to a charter, they're not realizing that these

183
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 8: test scores are showing everything but what we want.

184
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 7: These test scores are not preparing right.

185
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 6: It's preparing them to pass a test, which in life,

186
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 6: right after you've left college and those SAT scores, it's.

187
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 8: Supposed to prepare them to And if you look at

188
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 8: our babies test scores, it's still shown that they're reading

189
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 8: is at an all time love. And that's what I'm saying.

190
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 8: That's the sense of urgency we have to have. If

191
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 8: we're going to talk about business, then we need to

192
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 8: think about how we rally businesses to make sure that

193
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 8: kids have more.

194
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 7: Of what they need.

195
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 8: And I don't feel like enough businesses are talking about

196
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 8: that are talking about children and schools and reading and

197
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 8: writing and math and science school.

198
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 6: It's like I said, I read an article from the

199
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 6: Brickins Is too and it was just like schools become

200
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 6: a product. It's actual product that they're selling.

201
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: Right.

202
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 6: So like when we sell a test to a school

203
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 6: district or state and they buy it, it's like, all right,

204
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 6: everybod he passed this. Now the educator has to kind

205
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 6: of like curtall what they're doing. It's like, you know what,

206
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 6: I have to have these kids pass or I'll be

207
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 6: viewed as ineffective, you know what I mean?

208
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 5: And right now.

209
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 8: My data, my school as a whole our kids did

210
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 8: not move. A lot of our teachers have to have

211
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 8: I'm not going to talk for everybody. I'm telling aout

212
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 8: myself because I know people are listening. I don't let

213
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 8: anybody to feel away. But my data, my data was

214
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 8: only effective, not highly effective. Why because only a certain

215
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 8: amount of my kids grew this year a certain amount

216
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 8: of points I have. We had a goal all kids

217
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 8: had to move this many points by the end of

218
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 8: the year, and if they didn't, we don't get our money.

219
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 8: I don't get a raised next year. I work my

220
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 8: ass off this year and I'm not going to get

221
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 8: a raise because their test scores don't show their test

222
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 8: score that's not the reading, not this, not these things

223
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 8: that I got in this notebook that they know, not this,

224
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 8: not these words. Their standardized test score shows that they

225
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 8: didn't grow. So therefore I am I'm not I'm not

226
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 8: highly effective.

227
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 7: Nope, I'm not.

228
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 8: Like that's that's the money play behind it, because you're

229
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 8: you're you're not understanding. Curriculum dictates what our children learn,

230
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 8: who they become. It dictates who we are, what we're doing.

231
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 8: And this is not a wee as in just teachers.

232
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 8: This is the world because education is the world. How

233
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 8: are you gonna how else could you get here? And

234
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,599
Speaker 8: you I, all three of us at this table have

235
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 8: totally different We went to the same schools, granted, but then.

236
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 7: We have totally different educational narratives.

237
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 3: But then also he still ended up in the same place.

238
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: So for me, my personal perspective on education is, Okay,

239
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 4: I'm outside because you guys work in schools. You're you

240
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 4: don't like to teach this term teacher, You're an educator,

241
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 4: right right?

242
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: Teacher both? Okay, so you're both.

243
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 5: I think the term is when he says you're a

244
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 5: school teacher.

245
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 3: I mean, so, all right, you're both.

246
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 4: You're both educators, and I'm in business, right, I mean,

247
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 4: you're both in business as well on a certain level.

248
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 4: But so the thing about it is, I feel like

249
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 4: my outside experiences have helped me more and even in

250
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 4: sports have helped me more. So I don't feel like

251
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 4: I don't think that what you learn in school is

252
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: going to be the key to your success.

253
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, because let me learn, it doesn't stop in the classroom.

254
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 4: It doesn't stop in the classroom, and you learn way

255
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 4: more outside of the classroom than you ever learned inside.

256
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 6: Of the classroom because life is a teacher twenty four

257
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 6: hours a day, you know what I mean, So like

258
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 6: that's important.

259
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 5: Life is going to be your teacher.

260
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 6: So like when I see Valencia post things, I'm like,

261
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 6: I can see the passion in her.

262
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 5: I know some of those things are not in the

263
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 5: curriculum of Maryland.

264
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 7: My thing is, why is that okay with you?

265
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 4: No?

266
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: No, it's not okay. It's not okay that what.

267
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 8: You're saying is true, that we're not learning and what

268
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 8: we need in schools.

269
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 7: So you what's your platform?

270
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 8: Has to keep doing this so that you can that

271
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 8: was We can't sit here and be like, yeah, we

272
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 8: not learning nothing in school. No, we have to knock

273
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 8: the doors down and change that so that the bays

274
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 8: are learning something in school. Because let me tell you

275
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 8: what it looks like when they're wasting their time. It

276
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 8: looks like then when I come in to try to

277
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 8: give them as much as I can, they don't want

278
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 8: it because they're so used wasting their time.

279
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 7: That's what they think they should be doing. That's all

280
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 7: they want to do. That's what they desiring. Now, not everybody,

281
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 7: but this is what's happening to too.

282
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 6: Many because it's like year one grade, right, So by

283
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 6: the time they've gotten to you, they've had years of

284
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 6: people who probably have not reached them. In a sense,

285
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 6: it's like you only can be what you see, right,

286
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 6: So like when they see somebody like you, it's like, wow,

287
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 6: I can imagine the eighth pen that.

288
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 8: Yes, But also you don't understand what it looks like

289
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 8: when you have.

290
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 7: Hard working teachers, well meaning.

291
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 8: That's why I love Cardigi was in chapter three, The

292
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 8: Miseducation of the Ney World, he talks about the well

293
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 8: meaning missionaries that went down south when we were well,

294
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 8: when our ancestors were finally given the right to learn

295
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 8: how to read them write. These well meaning missionaries went

296
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 8: down and they opened the Freedman schools. But they taught them.

297
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 8: What they taught them was not true history true. They

298
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 8: taught them a whitewashed education. This is the same thing

299
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 8: that's happening right now in our schools. You have these

300
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 8: well meaning educators, no matter what color, ethnic background, doesn't matter.

301
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 8: We are all well meaning doing what we are told.

302
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 8: You're right, But as a whole, yet, thank you. That's

303
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 8: why as a whole it looks like this. It looks

304
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 8: like this on purpose though it looks like this on purpose,

305
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 8: and it's scary because if we don't continue to have

306
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 8: these conversations in a way that has a solution for

307
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 8: the children, it's gonna stay the same and the money plays,

308
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 8: these financial podcasts won't mean a thing because if the

309
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 8: babies are not learning, they're gonna keep growing up.

310
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 7: You're gonna keep having the same podcast.

311
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 8: We got to make sure that this is a seed,

312
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 8: but not the end all be all, because the goal

313
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 8: is for us to not need The goal is for

314
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 8: it to be a norm, that financial literacy being your

315
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 8: healthiest money self.

316
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 7: Like you know what I'm saying, You're understanding.

317
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 8: It from a healthy perspective. If you can understand money

318
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 8: from in the same way we understand food in a

319
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 8: nutrition way, nutritious way. If we if we understood our

320
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 8: money in our bank accounts and our finances, we understood

321
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 8: the difference between saving right, if we understood the difference

322
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 8: between spending and investing and the difference between those two words.

323
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 8: If we teach the babies that and it's normal in

324
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 8: their minds, that's that's.

325
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 7: Where we have to go.

326
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 4: Well, it's interested that you said the nutrition thing, because

327
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 4: we don't understand nutrition. No, going back to some of

328
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 4: us majority going back into school, right, like with the

329
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 4: pizza and milk at the lunch and it's like this

330
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 4: is terrible, right, And I was fortunate enough to never

331
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: eat school lunch, like my mom packed me lunch every day.

332
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 3: That was very rare.

333
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 5: I remember that.

334
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 4: It's like, looking back on it now, that was such

335
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 4: a blessing that she even took the time because she

336
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 4: knew because it's like everybody else was eating pizza and

337
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 4: and so what if.

338
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 7: We have the moms like your mom who you know,

339
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 7: his mom was his mom?

340
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 8: What if we had more moms going into the community

341
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 8: saying we can't let them feed our babies this, Like

342
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 8: we just there's so much that we have accepted that

343
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 8: we didn't know that we were accepting, or that we

344
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 8: didn't know that there were more options for because there's

345
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 8: so many other priorities that we have.

346
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 7: It's like we can't think about we just have got

347
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 7: school lunch.

348
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 8: Like we don't realize that they're feeding us.

349
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

350
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 4: But then once again going back to the money, right,

351
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 4: so these schools have contracts with food vendors, right, with

352
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 4: dairy companies with so it's not like they're not just

353
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 4: getting this food out the star.

354
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 3: It's a million million billion dollar.

355
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 6: Contracts doesn't if we talk about real estate, if we

356
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 6: talk about banking, we talk about school, it all comes

357
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 6: back to money man everything.

358
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: And that's the that's the beauty of the podcast because

359
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 4: it's so broad ranging that we can talk about so

360
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 4: many different things. But education is you know, like you

361
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: said that, that's like the ground rule of the kids beginning, right,

362
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 4: they go to preschool, they go to kindergarten, they go

363
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 4: to you go to school. And school is is a business, right,

364
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: it's a business. College college is a bit business.

365
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 5: We know that. We cover that, so so.

366
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: All right, so we talked about some problems, but we're

367
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 4: not this podcast is not a great a cloud or

368
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 4: you know, we're not going to just leave you in gloom.

369
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 4: We're gonna now talk about some solutions and how we

370
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,239
Speaker 4: can hopefully change the world. That's what we had to do,

371
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 4: all right, So once again, we're not going to leave

372
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 4: you guys, you know, feeling like there's no hope, because

373
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 4: there's always hope, there's always hoping. That's why we started

374
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 4: this podcast is to inspire people, right and to give inspiration.

375
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 4: That's the most valuable thing. That's the most important thing

376
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 4: that you can ever give some So all right, now

377
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 4: we talked about what's wrong in the education system. But

378
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 4: I know one of your goals now is to one

379
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 4: day be the secretary of Education.

380
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 5: I wrote that down. I have the text.

381
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 6: I was like, wow, like that's super ambitious, Like, let's

382
00:17:59,040 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 6: do it.

383
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: So you heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen, the pressure.

384
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 4: So all right, so that's one of your goals. And short,

385
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 4: like I said, you're you're an educator as well. You

386
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 4: both educated. So we know that money is and it's

387
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 4: a lot of times people say, you know what the

388
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 4: average this is the average person. I'm just gonnakeep it real.

389
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 4: I can't fix it, so I even worry about it. Right, Like,

390
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 4: this thing has been going on for so long. The

391
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 4: school systems are failed. The kids in poor neighborhoods are

392
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 4: not going to get the same education as kids that

393
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 4: go to private schools that live in rich neighborhoods.

394
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 3: It's never going to be equal.

395
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 4: It's like almost like the marching syndrome, Like while we're

396
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 4: gonna keep trying to march one This is why the

397
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 4: entrepreneur thing comes into play with people like myself, not

398
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 4: to say like when we tipped in, we used to

399
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 4: that white think that's okay. I don't think it's okay.

400
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 4: But I feel like I'm not expecting anybody to do

401
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 4: something for me that they haven't done for four hundred years.

402
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 4: Like know what I'm saying. So now let's do our own thing.

403
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 4: We can start teaching ourselves. We can have different platforms.

404
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 4: This is what this platform is. It's like a college

405
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 4: course pretty much every single week, right, So if you

406
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: can do something to school, great, I'm not holding my breath.

407
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 3: That's my personal thing. And there's a lot of people that

408
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: feel like me.

409
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 4: So I want to get you guys's thoughts on how

410
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 4: you think why it's important to change it from the inside,

411
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 4: because you are inside, You're inside of the building literally,

412
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 4: and you know.

413
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: Just your thoughts on that I'll start.

414
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 6: I just think representation number one is extremely important. Like

415
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 6: I work in elementary school. I don't know if I've ever,

416
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 6: I don't know how many black males or males of

417
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 6: color are in elementary school. So having representation, seeing something

418
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 6: that you can aspire to be. I would say that

419
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 6: everything I do is super intentional from the way I talk,

420
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 6: to the way I dress, to the music I listen to.

421
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 5: I want to stay in.

422
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 6: Tune with what the future generation is listening to so

423
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 6: that we can always be engaged. I also think being

424
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 6: culturally responsive is key, and I think that's one of

425
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 6: the things that Val does to her post.

426
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 5: Her education is so responsive.

427
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 6: And people used to say, we need to be relevant,

428
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 6: and I'm like, relevancy can change over time, you know

429
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 6: what I'm saying. Every ten years, culture changes. Right if

430
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 6: I'm from Jamaica, Right, if I went back to Jamaica,

431
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 6: the culture is completely different from the one that my

432
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 6: parents grew up in, right, So that we have to

433
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 6: be responsive because culture is always changing. Things are always changing.

434
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 6: We need to keep up with that. Like, that's a

435
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 6: job in itself, and I don't think a lot of

436
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 6: my you know, educators take that job.

437
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 5: As seriously as as they should.

438
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 7: Right.

439
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 6: They get their curriculum, they say, this is what I

440
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 6: have to teach. If they don't learn it, you know what,

441
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 6: that's on them. But in the end it'll end up

442
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 6: being on the educator themselves, right, because the test scores

443
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 6: will dictate how effective the teacher is. So I think

444
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 6: representation and being responsive to what's happening in culture.

445
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 8: Everybody doesn't have the same values at this point, so

446
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 8: we need to start there. We need to start first

447
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 8: with identifying the values in the community. We have to

448
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 8: come together as a full community first. Right now, everybody's

449
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 8: working in silos. People need to come together as one community.

450
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 8: Community means whatever whoever you are, don't matter what you work.

451
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 7: What you look like, you live in that community. That's

452
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 7: your community. Cool, everybody come together, everybody.

453
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 8: Then we identify the values, and for me, my number

454
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 8: one value is education. Somebody else number one value might

455
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 8: be something else. We don't know right now. But once

456
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 8: we tally up the values, then we work from making

457
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 8: a plan. Right now, we can't say what works, how

458
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 8: are we going to fix it? We gotta implement a plan.

459
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 8: That's what action research is. That's why I'm going back

460
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 8: to school. That's why I gotta get my doctorate.

461
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 4: So what plan or what would you what would your

462
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 4: plan specifically, what would your plan look like?

463
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 6: You're going back to Johns Hopkins, right, so you're gonna

464
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 6: be what are you gonna be studying there?

465
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 7: My brain and teaching.

466
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 8: So I'm looking at things from a neurologist's perspective, which

467
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 8: is very scary for me because I am not good

468
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 8: at science and math. Right now, I'm getting better, but

469
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 8: that's not my strong suit. So being a researchers always

470
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 8: terrified the heck out of me, but I don't care.

471
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 8: I have to get over that, which is another reason

472
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 8: why I'm like, I cannot be on social media right now.

473
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 8: I can't create right now. I have to study and

474
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 8: become a better learner. Right now, my learning.

475
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 7: Habits are just really trash, Like I feel like I

476
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 7: have ADHD.

477
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 8: I know I'm going on a tangent, but I do.

478
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 8: Sometimes I just can't even focus, like look.

479
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 7: At my book.

480
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 8: I have to make myself a little daily monitor for

481
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 8: my own behaviors because I feel like I'm like connected

482
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 8: to everything else. Then, you know, anyway back to this,

483
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 8: what we need to do. We need to do what

484
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 8: I'm doing and self assess because it starts with you.

485
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 8: But the other thing we need to do, which is

486
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 8: why I'm going back to school, is we have to

487
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 8: go into our classrooms with a researcher's lens. So what

488
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 8: I want to look at is specifically the child who

489
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 8: has been neglected, and I want to see how the

490
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 8: habits of the neglected child play out in their educational abilities.

491
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 7: And that's all I know right.

492
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 5: Now from the start.

493
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 7: That's just my little like, this is what I want.

494
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 8: I want to look at anger and I want to

495
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 8: look at love from the teacher's perspective. So I want

496
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 8: to look at a love based education. What does that

497
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 8: look like? How do you gather data to assess the

498
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 8: effectiveness of a love based education?

499
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 7: I don't know these things yet, so I can't say

500
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 7: this is the solution.

501
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 8: Love is a solution until I do my research, until

502
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 8: I gather the data, until I do it again with

503
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 8: a bigger pool, until I have to keep going.

504
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 7: I have to, I have to test this out. So

505
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 7: right now, I'm a student.

506
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 8: I'm a student right now, and I feel like that

507
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 8: is one of the solutions I would give y'all or

508
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 8: the US. So the community is become a student and

509
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 8: be okay with being a learner at whatever place you

510
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 8: are in right now, because no matter how many accolades

511
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 8: you have, titles, or followers or friends or whatever the

512
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 8: fuck you got, I don't know, excuse my language, but

513
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 8: it doesn't matter if you don't know how to get

514
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 8: where you want to go next, or how to get

515
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 8: to the place that needs you next. The Instagram pages

516
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 8: right now, no disrespect, no shade. Everybody is doing their

517
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 8: work in their way. But I don't see enough of us.

518
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 7: I don't see myself personally doing enough work that says

Speaker 7: teach reading period, and I don't mean physically reading. Rashad

520

Speaker 7: is my number.

521
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 8: One example when I tell people about non readers. Shad

522
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 8: knows everything.

523
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 7: Like if a shot doesn't read, for Shad reads non print,

524
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 7: non print. That is the type of reader that our

525
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 7: kids are.

526
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,680

00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 5: Touch on something really quickly.

581
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 6: I just thought really quickly because what you said is

582
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 6: very interesting, Like if you asked me to throughout high

583
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 6: school and even in college in post school, how many

584
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 6: books I read, I probably could count on my hands,

585
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 6: and I know I don't read enough.

586
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 5: And then I started. I read an article and I

587
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 5: was like, wait, I do read a lot.

588
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 3: I read.

589
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 6: I read the Wall Street Journal every day. I read

590
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 6: the Daily News with my dad would bring home every day.

591
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 5: I was reading print.

592
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 6: I just wasn't reading books, but I was the magazines

593
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 6: when I was younger. I read cards like I always read,

594
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 6: just not in the way that we would taught, Like, hey,

595
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 6: you're not reading this literature book, so you're not a

596
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 6: reader because.

597
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 7: You were taught to read for a grade grade right.

598
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 5: And I'm doing it for my own joy. I've always

599
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 5: done it. That's good that you said that.

600
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,959
Speaker 7: And they didn't. No one taught us to read. No

601
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 7: one taught us how to love learning.

602
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 8: They didn't explicitly say this is what learning feels like.

603
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 7: Don't you feel good?

604
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 8: No one gave us those And I think I can't

605
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 8: say no one because we did have good teachers, but

606
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 8: I never got someone to say This feels good, doesn't it?

607
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 7: Girl? No one said that when I was learning.

608
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 8: I'm going if somebody would have helped me name that high,

609
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 8: the natural high that comes from learning, how many more

610
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 8: people would getting high of learning every day?

611
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 4: But also I think that you know, from the education standpoint, See,

612
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 4: one of my problems with education is that. And I'm

613
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 4: not anti education, I'm not anti school, but I just

614
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 4: feel like I don't have faith in school because I've

615
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 4: seen it fail too many times. Right, And one of

616
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 4: the one of the main issues that I have with

617
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 4: school is that everybody learns differently. I think I read

618
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 4: somewhere it's where it's like just seven different learning styles, right,

619
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 4: But school only teaches one way.

620
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 5: To learn to industrial styles.

621
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 4: So now you have thirty kids that's all learning the

622
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 4: same way. So, like you said, I don't read books.

623
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 4: I'm an audio learner, so I can hear something that

624
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 4: I can process it much faster than if I read it.

625
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 4: I know how to read, but my attention span is

626
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 4: very short, right exactly, So I like to do audio books.

627
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 4: So it's just it's not it doesn't discount my learning.

628
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 8: But back in the day, that's what even what am

629
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 8: I saying back in the day, right now, our teachers

630
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 8: have not been given the freedom to say, you know,

631
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 8: your babies don't want to read that boring book? What

632
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 8: else do you think they should do in order to

633
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 8: get what you want?

634
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 7: You know, I know they come in my room all

635
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 7: the time.

636
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 8: What lesson plan are you on in the lesson planned book?

637
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 8: I'm like, seveneen, I don't know, but I have the data.

638
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 8: Sorry for hitting table. I have the data. I have

639
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 8: the data that shows these are the essays like look

640
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 8: at I've got to keep.

641
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 6: I mean when we visited your classroom, I was like,

642
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 6: this is the type of literature that our kids.

643
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 8: But no, no, no, no no, I'm talking about the data of

644
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 8: the essays that say this is their first essay, this

645
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 8: is their second, this is their third, and you see

646
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 8: these grades going up. I'm not trying to stay on

647
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 8: a lesson plan that's not teaching them how to get

648
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 8: from A to B.

649
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 4: But then, this is the problem with education, even when

650
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 4: we just posted on Instagram where a lot of people

651
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 4: are saying it's college worth it right because they go

652
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 4: to college and they get these degrees and they have

653
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 4: a bunch of student loan debt and they can't get

654
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 4: a job because they're not they don't they going without

655
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 4: really knowing what they want to do. They're getting a

656
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 4: general degree in something and it's not specialized, and they're

657
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 4: just going out in the world, and it's like, what

658
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 4: do I do now, because they don't teach you. This

659
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 4: is life skills, this is how you survive in the

660
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 4: real world. Right, And I said this before. I feel

661
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 4: like school kind of prepares you for that nine to

662
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 4: five mentality, right, because you have a lunch break, you

663
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 4: get the school early. Like I'm not an early white

664
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 4: rise of I don't get up to eight o'clock, sometimes

665
00:30:58,600 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 4: nine o'clock.

666
00:30:59,200 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 5: Right.

667
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:00,479
Speaker 3: I work at night.

668
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 4: I might stay up to four o'clock in the morning,

669
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 4: so I don't feel like I have to get up

670
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: at six thirty in order to feel good about myself.

671
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 3: Like you know, everybody's different.

672
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 4: But I think that that's because I was never really

673
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 4: that great as a student. Decent student, but I was

674
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 4: never really great, right, And I think one.

675
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 8: Terms of what was defined as greatness, because great is relative.

676
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 3: Well, what I'm saying in school, I was never a.

677
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 7: Great student's relative though as far as grades, grades and stuff.

678
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 8: In test school, I don't want you to a lot

679
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 8: of times our babies, people come, we had all of

680
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 8: us have these stories. Like me personally, I would tell

681
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 8: my story of how terrible I was in high school.

682
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 8: I was this, I was that, But the reality was

683
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 8: I really wasn't that bad. I just thought I was

684
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 8: that bad. There were so many other things, And there

685
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 8: are the kids. There are kids who are not bad

686
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 8: at all, who don't get to interact with our blanket

687
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 8: statement of being not great.

688
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 4: And well, yeah, because I always like to tie in

689
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 4: personal stories. So it's crazy now because it's like on Instagram,

690
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 4: people will hit me all the time and it's flyering.

691
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 4: I appreciate, but they're like, yo, you're so smart, You're

692
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 4: a genius. Da da da da. But it's crazy because hey,

693
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 4: nobody looks themselves like that. Right, we just reading information

694
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 4: and we're just giving it back to the public. But

695
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 4: so in school, I had an IEP. Right this, things

696
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 4: are not familiar with IEP. That's like a learning disability.

697
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 5: It's an individual education plan.

698
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, so pretty much the said I had a learned disability,

699
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 4: but I didn't. I don't think I had a learning disability.

700
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 4: I just wasn't interested in learning. The way that I

701
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 4: was being taught. Obviously I'm intelligent, like you know what

702
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 4: I'm saying. So, but it's how many kids take that

703
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 4: label and now their self esteem drops and now going forward,

704
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 4: they don't feel good about themselves.

705
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 7: It's not the label because me, I feel like, give

706
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 7: them a label if you're going to educate them on

707
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 7: what that label is and not make.

708
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 8: It seem like that, you know what, Like, let's because

709
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 8: I'm speaking for myself personally. When I got diagnosed, that

710
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 8: freed the heck out of me. It made me feel

711
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 8: like I am this is I'm normal. There are things

712
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 8: to help me with how I feel right now. And

713
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 8: this is because science. To that it was scary for

714
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 8: me to not be like everybody else. Once I understood,

715
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 8: and then I could and then once I educated myself

716
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 8: on my label or my label, I could say this.

717
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 7: Is not actually my label.

718
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 8: I was showing signs of this, but I'm a little

719
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 8: bit different than this and that because I was able

720
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 8: to educate it myself with it.

721
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 7: Now with our babies, you have children who.

722
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 8: Don't even know what it means, what it means to

723
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 8: be ADHD, but their IP says they have ADHD.

724
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 7: I have a little boy, I asked him. He said no.

725
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 7: He said, Miss Clay, am I bad? And I said, no,

726
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 7: you're not bad.

727
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 8: I said, we were talking about his thing, and I said,

728
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 8: you just have ADHD.

729
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 7: He said, why would you say that?

730
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 8: Like he got really angry, and I'm like, so you

731
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 8: would rather be labeled bad than to have ADHD.

732
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 7: He was like, yes, like that's that's not okay.

733
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 4: But what is Are we even showing that these labels

734
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 4: of ADHD are even appropriate right?

735
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 3: Because he not?

736
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 7: And but the point is to still be. He doesn't

737
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 7: even know what that means.

738
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 8: He doesn't know that it simply means that sitting still

739
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 8: and learning is not the way for him.

740
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 7: He doesn't know what it means. He should be outdoors

741
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 7: canoeing and putting up tents and learning project based learning.

742
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 7: He doesn't know these things about himself because he doesn't

743
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 7: even know what his label means.

744
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 8: He ain't seed on me dumb. It means I can't

745
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 8: system This is me. I knew I needed my book

746
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 8: because I get overstimulated. So I can't listen to you

747
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 8: for a long period of time without moving and I

748
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 8: don't want to say He start fidgeting, so I have

749
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 8: to start writing.

750
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 7: That's how my learning style is. How many children don't

751
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 7: know that about themselves.

752
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 8: They get in trouble because they can't sit still like

753
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 8: this for the whole time.

754
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 6: Like it's it's like the industrialized way of teaching or

755
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 6: building schools. Right in the Industrial Revolution, it was like, hey,

756
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 6: everybody shows up at this time.

757
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 5: We go into this building.

758
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 6: A bell rings, We go to this room, another bell rings,

759
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 6: we have lunch, another bell rings, we go home. It's

760
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 6: the same thing that they've created with schools. It's like,

761
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 6: all right, we go in first period, there's a belt,

762
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 6: second period, there's a bell, third period, there's lunch. It's

763
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 6: the same format. Everybody's supposed to learn the same. When

764
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 6: everybody doesn't, everybody learns differently, and like when kids feel comfortable,

765
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 6: like knowing that it's okay. Like I've seen schools that

766
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 6: thrive with project based learning because it's a different way

767
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 6: to teach, and the teachers educators love it because it's like, Wow,

768
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 6: I'm learning too as we're doing this.

769
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 5: This is amazing.

770
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 6: But you know, we have to get away from that

771
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 6: industrialized year of teaching.

772
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 8: And I think teachers need the permission and schools need

773
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 8: the funding to get training, training on how to differentiate.

774
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 7: In your classroom, because don't get it twisted.

775
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 8: We're saying people are not doing but people are doing

776
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 8: it really well, and there are so many studies like

777
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 8: differentiation in the classroom should be happening every single day.

778
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 8: You should be creating lesson plans, develop developing these lesson

779
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 8: plans directly for your kids, tailor directly.

780
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 7: For your kids.

781
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 8: All of those kids, like this is data right now.

782
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 8: These are my kids that got a failing grade on

783
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 8: my essay. These are the kids that moved up. These

784
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 8: have a bod. Now when I go in on Tuesday,

785
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 8: I'm not going to give them all the same exact lesson. Yeah,

786
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 8: they failed, so they need something else. They are moving on,

787
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 8: They're gonna And then the kids right here that are

788
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 8: moving on into purple, they don't learn the way the

789
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 8: ones in the red dude, So I have to make

790
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 8: sure even though they're all moving on, this group has

791
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 8: something different.

792
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 7: This group has something different. While I'm over here specifically

793
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 7: with this little group, how many teachers are doing that

794
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 7: a lot, a lot. But the thing is, the thing

795
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 7: is not enough art well.

796
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 4: Because yeah, I was gonna say I've actually never seen

797
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 4: a teacher do that, right, I'm just being honest. And

798
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 4: I went to school, public school and private school, and

799
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 4: most especially in public school, most of the teachers were

800
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 4: just getting trying and get through the day.

801
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 3: And if you didn't curse them out, you gotta be.

802
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 5: Today.

803
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 8: I can tell you that happens. I can tell you

804
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 8: that happens. I promise you, I can tell you that happens.

805
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 8: And I'm not even going to talk about the negative.

806
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 8: I'm going to stay in this zone right here.

807
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 5: A lot of people I want.

808
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 7: I want.

809
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 8: What I want to say is that I want any

810
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 8: business person that's listening to this, if you got some bread,

811
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 8: you go to your local school and you say, hello, principal,

812
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 8: I'm giving you this donation to pay for a differentiation PD,

813
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 8: a professional development for your teachers on differentiation and if

814
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 8: they need somebody to run that.

815
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 7: PD, google it or come find us. Meet my peers,

816
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 7: my principal.

817
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 8: I have people in DC Extraditionary Learning, but Baltimore Design

818
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 8: School has, like, we have a lot of people out here,

819
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 8: Gina Procter, one of my favorites, Like, we have some

820
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 8: good teachers out here who can help you learn how

821
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 8: to attend to every child in your classroom. The problem

822
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 8: is not that teachers don't want it. Sometimes the problem

823
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 8: is that that curriculum has a chain, you know what

824
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 8: I'm saying.

825
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 5: It goes back to the test, to the.

826
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 8: Money, goes back to the test, because everybody is studying

827
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 8: us but us, and creating more to keep us in

828
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 8: this box that we are in.

829
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 5: Get out of Third grade is a critical year.

830
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 6: It's actually the first year that they actually start taking

831
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 6: state tests.

832
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 5: And even in New York, a lot.

833
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 6: Of people they have the option to opt out of

834
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 6: the test because really, the anxiety is a real thing

835
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 6: now and I'm not sure what it really proves in

836
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 6: third grade. Eighth grade is another critical year, but the

837
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 6: test show like if a kid has a low reading

838
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 6: score at third chances are they going to follow him

839
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 6: to eighth Eighth They're going to follow him.

840
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 7: Because they know that that kid is likely to.

841
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 5: Drop out of school because now he has a low literacy.

842
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 7: Rate and teachers don't know.

843
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 8: Teachers have said to me, I don't know how to

844
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 8: teach kids that are a low grade level. I've only

845
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 8: been trained to teach my grade level. So you mean

846
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 8: to tell me you are a sixth grade teacher, and

847
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 8: you have kids that are reading on third, fourth, fifth

848
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 8: grade levels and you don't know how to bring them up.

849
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 7: What happens when that kid get to eight, gets to ten,

850
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 7: they're lower?

851
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 3: Now was your job?

852
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 5: It is?

853
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 8: But a lot of teachers don't see it is that

854
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 8: because they don't even know how to do it. We

855
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 8: need to make sure that this money, there's so much money,

856
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 8: give your schools money to get the teachers training. Don't

857
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 8: just buy us books, teach us how to teach those books,

858
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 8: because a lot of teachers.

859
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 7: Need help learning how to teach. And that's just the

860
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 7: name of the game.

861
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 8: Like I should be using iPads instead of these My

862
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 8: baby should all have iPads in their hands. But not

863
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 8: efficient enough on an iPad yet. So I'm doing this

864
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 8: and they're doing this. Everybody has a notebook just.

865
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 7: Like mine, and we're working.

866
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 8: But they feel good carrying their little little notebook pad.

867
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 8: But when do I get that iPad training? When when

868
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 8: does every school say it is a requirement that every

869
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 8: kid has an iPad instead of having a pen or

870
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 8: a pencil. Because at this point, teach them how to

871
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 8: use their iPhones instead of making them lock them in

872
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 8: their lockers.

873
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 7: We used them how to Google.

874
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 6: We have actually some school districts here in westtern so

875
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 6: where they've allowed that, that has been implemented and starting kindergarten.

876
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 7: Where is it where city? No?

877
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 6: No, no, I'm just saying that because it's an initiative,

878
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 6: but it starts.

879
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 8: To Then Westchester's job is to make sure that they

880
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 8: publicize that nationwide so people can see this is working

881
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 8: in this district. Really well, everybody else needs to start

882
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 8: doing it. They need to use their power, use that power.

883
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 8: This is now we could get on the conversation of like,

884
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 8: you know, black power versus white influence and all these

885
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 8: different we could talk about, you know, allies versus co conspirators.

886
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 7: I need Wesester to be a co conspirator in.

887
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 8: This moment, and I need them to say this works

888
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 8: with our children, specifically our children who are black and

889
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 8: brown in this district. This works if they take that

890
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 8: data and they show it. My principle reads everything. This

891
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 8: is where she gets her brain skills ideas from. She

892
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 8: gets these brands banking ideas every now and then, and

893
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 8: they come from an article she references.

894
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 7: She's reading. She reads that and sees that it works

895
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 7: guess what. We get the permission to do, We get

896
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 7: the permission to try it. I should have been to

897
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 7: about this, you know what I'm saying. So that's my

898
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 7: thing is like we're doing a lot of great work,

899
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 7: but we're still in a silo.

900
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 8: Community needs to come together and decide what are our

901
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 8: values and then make a bucket for every value. These

902
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 8: are the tools that work to get us toward that

903
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 8: value because some people are really doing the work for

904
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 8: those values.

905
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 7: We don't know. We don't know.

906
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 5: That should be on a shave room.

907
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 8: I want to see that on the shaved room, like

908
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 8: I want to see I love seeing myself on places

909
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 8: that I when you never guess, like Vogue crazy, I'll

910
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 8: never guess. But I want to see the literacy deficit

911
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 8: in those same spaces. I want to see more urgency

912
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 8: around teaching people how to love learning their own individual

913
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 8: paths of learning. Don't you love what you're doing right now?

914
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 8: You love this and you're learning as you go. Absolutely,

915
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 8: you're loving this learning process.

916
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 3: This is what it is.

917
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 4: That's one of the best things about being the teachers

918
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 4: that helps you learn, right. So, like even when we

919
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 4: post on Instagram, like I got to research the stories

920
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 4: because I got to make sure you faction.

921
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 8: If you are a highly qualified right he sounds like

922
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 8: what a highly effective teacher does. They research, they're continuing

923
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 8: to look for more to gauge their their students, their audience.

924
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 7: So I don't know, you know what it is that.

925
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 8: We together can continue to do to make sure that

926
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 8: this is happening, because now I feel like it's our

927
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 8: duty since we've said this, to make sure that we

928
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 8: check in.

929
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 7: But maybe that's what we can do. We can plan

930
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 7: to have like some sort.

931
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 8: Of monthly community check in, maybe here or in different cities,

932
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 8: I don't know. Then we can think about an initiative

933
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 8: where we're just hearing or even just in your life.

934
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 7: Like you guys, I want you to continue this part

935
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 7: of the conversation where you're really calling people to say,

936
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 7: this is what we're doing in my community.

937
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 8: To keep this conversation being stake wide holders wide, stakeholders wide.

938
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 8: You know what I'm trying to say, everybody had the table.

939
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 6: Everybody's stake holding in it, right, because I mean, if

940
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 6: you you've come through education and if you have kids,

941
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 6: they're going to go through everybody, he's a stake in.

942
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 3: This, Yes, Wow. That was powerful. That was powerful. Yeah.

943
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 4: Man, that was just very eye opening for a lot

944
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 4: of different levels. Because you know, we go through the

945
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 4: educations everybody, that's one thing by education.

946
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 3: Everybody goes through.

947
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 5: Everybody has to do it.

948
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 4: No, it's no opting out. Even if you're homeschool, you're

949
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 4: still taught something like you can.

950
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 8: Opt out of the state test. Yeah, and not enough

951
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 8: of us know that either. And it won't hurt you

952
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 8: if you if parents opt a child out of a test,

953
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 8: the standardized test, it doesn't hurt them their future.

954
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 3: And what would be the benefit of opting out of

955
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 3: a state test?

956
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 6: You don't have to take it, yeah, because like I said,

957
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 6: like we haven't figured out the purpose of it, right.

958
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 6: It says that it's supposed to send us. It's supposed

959
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 6: to have kids focusing more. They're supposed to work harder,

960
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 6: to try for achievement. And it doesn't show that like.

961
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 3: Any state that you're in you can opt out.

962
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 5: Well, I know New York State, you can't.

963
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 3: That's the region any state.

964
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 5: No, No, no region is high school.

965
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 7: But we're talking about I'm talking about parks specifically, Like

966
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 7: you can opt out of standardized tests like that, But.

967
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 6: The regions is another thing. I'm glad you said that

968
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 6: because York that's just a New York, but some other

969
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 6: states have regions exams. But like if I've passed, if

970
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 6: I passed a region's exam, right, and I have a

971
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 6: region's diploma, that's only good if I'm in New York.

972
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 6: If I go to Connecticut, it means nothing. Or if

973
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 6: I go to New Jersey that New York regions means nothing.

974
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 6: So why are we mandating that our kids in New

975
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 6: York have a region's diploma If they want to go

976
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 6: to school somewhere else it means zero?

977
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

978
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 6: Like if I'm in California and I passed California money,

979
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 6: Well it comes back to it again, right, So.

980
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 7: Just like why do you have to pay money to

981
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 7: take the certification test?

982
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 5: Right?

983
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 7: And that every time you take it and you fail,

984
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 7: you got to keep paying.

985
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 6: And now that you can take it more times, it

986
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 6: used to be like four times a year. Now it's

987
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 6: like every three weeks you can take it because it's

988
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 6: more money.

989
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, Keep making it harder so they.

990
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 5: Can't they can't pass it.

991
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 7: So they can't pass it, and put.

992
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 6: More in so that they people that look like you

993
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 6: and I will tear us away from it, you know

994
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 6: what I mean. That's why I said representation is key.

995
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 6: We need to see more educators of color in all school.

996
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 7: Districts, you know what.

997
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 8: I feel like we're saying a lot without allowing people

998
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 8: to understand where we're getting this information from.

999
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 4: But this is the thing about this show too, because

1000
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 4: we don't just me and Troy just don't give our

1001
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 4: opinions on things.

1002
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:39,240
Speaker 3: We bring.

1003
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 4: We bring experts in the field than that are knowledgeable.

1004
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 4: So Troy is an expert in this because he's a teacher.

1005
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 4: But that's why we brought you in and talk about educated.

1006
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 7: This is an edu I just wanted to go back

1007
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 7: to the text. That's all I'm saying.

1008
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, so but but yeah, so,

1009
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 4: but that brings me into what I was saying. As

1010
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 4: far as you know, we're talking about taxes. This isn't

1011
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 4: just we're just making this up, right. We're bringing in

1012
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 4: an account we had, you know, a lawyer, and we're

1013
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 4: not just going off. No, she knows and this is

1014
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 4: important too to highlight different people in our community that

1015
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 4: may not be highlighted. And you know, we have professionals

1016
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 4: that are highly educated, highly trained, very efficient people that

1017
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 4: come from our community, right, and they need to be highlighted.

1018
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 4: So that's one of the platforms one of the things

1019
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 4: that we're using our platform too as well, and that

1020
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:20,720
Speaker 4: hopefully that might inspire somebody.

1021
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 3: Right. So she's a cool lawyer, she's a cool teacher.

1022
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 3: You know.

1023
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 4: Oh he talks like me, but he's a mortgage broker.

1024
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 4: I can do that, you know what I mean, Like,

1025
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 4: it's not that it can't be that difficult. So yeah,

1026
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 4: So man, we can stay on this topic. We can

1027
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 4: stay on this education for so long because there's so

1028
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 4: much to talk about. But we want to just first

1029
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 4: and foremost, thank you for coming in. We appreciate it.

1030
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 4: It's very valuable. I hope you guys really you know,

1031
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 4: thought about a lot of things that were said, because,

1032
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 4: as I said, everybody comes through education one way or

1033
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 4: and others. So it's important for yourself, for your children,

1034
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 4: for your grandchildren, for all of our community. As you said,

1035
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 4: you know, it's a community effort. Whether you're in school,

1036
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 4: out of school, whatever. Everybody you know, need needs to

1037
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 4: be aware of an education system. Everybody needs to self

1038
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:09,359
Speaker 4: educate and everybody needs to hold our institutions accountable as well, right,

1039
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 4: and do what you can do too. But one thing

1040
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 4: about complaining, That's how I got into financial literacy, right

1041
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 4: because I used to complain a lot, and then when

1042
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 4: you gave me an opportunity to teach a class, I

1043
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 4: started teaching, and then from teaching, I developed kind of

1044
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 4: a passion for it. So everybody can bring value one

1045
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:26,919
Speaker 4: way or the other, whether it's after school program, whether

1046
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 4: it's the community. Doesn't have to be in a set school,

1047
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 4: your religious organization, whatever you know.

1048
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,479
Speaker 3: Teach whatever you do for a living.

1049
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 4: You might you know, you might be an account and

1050
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 4: teach the kids about how to do taxi or go.

1051
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 5: Back, go back to your school.

1052
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 6: So if you're in your neighborhood and that's one of

1053
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 6: the things that you know, the first thing I had

1054
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 6: you do was like we had a career day.

1055
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, come.

Speaker 6: our neighborhood. Come back and speak If whatever profession you're in,

1058
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 6: go back and find out what your school's doing, if

1059
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 6: they offer a career day or if they don't start one,

1060
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 6: and go back and talk to kids.

1061
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 5: Man, because it's valuable.

1062
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 3: No, it's important. It's important. Valve.
