Speaker 2: you have all these people who are like much older
Speaker 2: than you are. They are they kind of like jaded
Speaker 2: with schooling or I.
Speaker 1: Was thinking about it. You have. I think when you

Speaker 1: there's three things you could either become jaded and like
Speaker 1: you'd be like, I hate this job. I'm ready for retirement.

Speaker 1: days of today, like I've been doing this for twenty

Speaker 1: just wait for and that pension will kick in, that
Speaker 1: arp is hitting boy, and there's but she's they're all
Speaker 1: still great teachers, but like you've been doing it for
Speaker 1: a long time, everything changes, regulations change, you have to
Speaker 1: teach this way, you have to do this, do that,
Speaker 1: or you could be The second one is like you
Speaker 1: can really love your job and you can work on
Speaker 1: it and you can be the best and you can Yeah.
Speaker 2: Miss the Clerk, free, Miss the Club, Free. Miss the
Speaker 2: Club said yes, okay.

Speaker 1: You're like, this is not really what I want to do.
Speaker 2: That would be me as would definitely it's wheeling in
Speaker 2: the TV. Yeah, we're gonna watch a film. Yeah, we're

Speaker 2: a sentence anyway. He's like, well, that's what auto correct
Speaker 2: is on your phone. You shouldn't be on your phone anyway.
Speaker 2: You're you're you're in detention out. Okay. So when you
Speaker 2: go to so is it crazy how much kids are
Speaker 2: on their phones now in school or do you like
Speaker 2: put them in a basket in the front of the classroom,
Speaker 2: Like how does that work? Is it like a Chappelle
Speaker 2: comedy show where you lock up the phones? Like what's good?
Speaker 1: Because I think it's I think we try to because
Speaker 1: once you leave the school, you're still going to use technology,
Speaker 1: so we try to like incorporate it, Like how do
Speaker 1: you use technology to help you better your schooling? So
Speaker 1: it's like, Yo, download the encyclopedia, download the source app
Speaker 1: and put it on your phone and all right, if
Speaker 1: you want to check something up, just use your phone,
Speaker 1: like you have really.
Speaker 2: In class if they be texting all.

Speaker 1: need you to look up this for this, Like if
Speaker 1: you're doing the research thing, you don't got to like, okay,
Speaker 1: go to the libraries. Like, no, you have the phone.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of apps that I gotta download. That
Speaker 2: means I gotta have a lot of storage.
Speaker 1: I mean the kids, but we tell them sometimes if
Speaker 1: we're writing a paper, but you don't have the computer
Speaker 1: in front of you, you have your draft, right, just go
Speaker 1: on Google docs.
Speaker 2: Just start writing on your phone. I would be like, yo,
Speaker 2: I'm writing my dissertation every day.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: How much poor is everybody watching?
Speaker 1: I'm not too sure. I teach in the two morning classes,
Speaker 1: and I teach like four afternoon classes and the morning
Speaker 1: or tenth graders, and the tenth graders are they always
Speaker 1: on their phone. But the eleventh graders they kind of
Speaker 1: know because we kind of run a tight ship where
Speaker 1: they're like, I go up to them when they're on
Speaker 1: the phone, like, are you crazy? That's what you talk
Speaker 1: to with you like you could and they're like, all right, cool,
Speaker 1: I don't want to smoke.
Speaker 2: Which grade respects you the most?
Speaker 1: Freshmen?
Speaker 2: Ah, because that's baby virgins.
Speaker 1: Funny love.
Speaker 2: They don't want to get in trouble with their parents.
Speaker 1: They don't.
Speaker 2: By eleventh grade. You're like, fuck my mom, but don't
Speaker 2: tell her that she had wor right, what's them? Yeah,
Speaker 2: let me call They go home and put their mom's
Speaker 2: phone on do not disturb?
Speaker 1: Oh man. Yeah, ninth grade was fun. They respect They
Speaker 1: respect you the most because you could do you could
Speaker 1: like you literally scared them. I remember this one kid,
Speaker 1: he just was cutting class all the time, and I
Speaker 1: called his mom and dad and I told him to
Speaker 1: come to the class and just sit in the back
Speaker 1: of class. And when he walks in, he's gonna learn
Speaker 1: to never cut this class again. Walks into class boom
Speaker 1: boom boom, and he just freeze. He's like, hi, mom,
Speaker 1: and then she the mom and dad sat with him
Speaker 1: the whole entire class.
Speaker 2: The experiments. My mother has never been to any of
Speaker 2: my schools. Ever. My mom had to work take so much. Yes,
Speaker 2: no way, that's.
Speaker 1: True, and that's why they were up there were like
Speaker 1: she smacked him on the head, no listen, making him
Speaker 1: answer questions. It was beautiful.
Speaker 2: She like, you know that one, you know that one.
Speaker 1: He's never and yeah, he didn't cut a class at
Speaker 1: all in that ninth grade year. And the kids knew.
Speaker 1: They're like, I'll call your mom here and your dad did.
Speaker 2: The kids roast him for having his parents. You get
Speaker 2: roasted the whole fucking semester. They're like, gen your mom here, Hey, Caren,
Speaker 2: what's good? He bad? Carrien? What's the answer to number six? Duke?
Speaker 2: How often are you calling people's parents? Uh?
Speaker 1: It just depends on the kid, and it depends on
Speaker 1: like the situation. Like sometimes it's like all right, maybe
Speaker 1: sometimes it's like, man, we don't want this kid to
Speaker 1: get in trouble because you know what, you know, like
Speaker 1: some kids will get beat man. Let's see if we
Speaker 1: can work it out internally.
Speaker 2: Let the child get beat Wait, some kids are still
Speaker 2: getting beaten in twenty nineteen. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: As much.
Speaker 2: Europe. No, wait, so what what's the bad ground to
Speaker 2: the kids? Are? They?
Speaker 1: Like, I work in a school with like four thousand kids,
Speaker 1: so the demographics are we have everyone everything.
Speaker 2: There's whites, they're black, so it's not just one. So
Speaker 2: everybody's getting beat.
Speaker 1: Everyone's getting everyone's getting beat everything. I mean, the parents
Speaker 1: are there's a fine line between like beating and like
Speaker 1: sapping and slapping the face, and you know they're not
Speaker 1: getting slapping face, but they get reprimanded. Yeah, but I've
Speaker 1: definitely sometimes I'll call parents and they're just tired. They're like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. I don't know. I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: I thought this would work. I'm just only making it worse.
Speaker 1: So sometimes you gotta talk to the kid. And sometimes
Speaker 1: you just just got to get other people involved that
Speaker 1: like like cousins and counselor. Yet I think counselors are
Speaker 1: the best, like the school, the school counselors and what
Speaker 1: do they do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my counselors never did ship trash. My counselor told
Speaker 2: me I should be a comedian and I was like, Si,
Speaker 2: I can't get no scholarships for this, and look at
Speaker 2: me here, look at you, honey, paying your rent. I
Speaker 2: went to school for something else. I guess she did help,
Speaker 2: you know she didn't. I helped myself. Wait, so what
Speaker 2: does the counselor do.
Speaker 1: They just talked, literally talk to kids. This one counselors
Speaker 1: like a par of us. Yeah, kind of sort of
Speaker 1: and talked about the problems, like what's going on. And
Speaker 1: it's honestly really beautiful. Like this girl my math class
Speaker 1: because I picked up a math I teach English, but
Speaker 1: I picked up a six class for math because I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get these coins.
Speaker 2: And wait, you teach English and have your degree in English,
Speaker 2: but you macked up a math class because you need
Speaker 2: some extra hours. I said, I need to get I
Speaker 2: need to get this little vacation. I want to go
Speaker 2: back to Tokyo.
Speaker 1: To Thailand, you know. And this girl, she like put
Speaker 1: her head down in the math class and just like
Speaker 1: start crying. And I was like in front of everybody,
Speaker 1: and I was like, just come on, and I brought
Speaker 1: her upstairs to the whatever the guidance, the guidance, and
Speaker 1: then they just had a chat for the rest of
Speaker 1: the period. And then she now she's homeschool. She's like

Speaker 1: Yeah, I do with troubled kids. I deal with good kids.
Speaker 1: It's it's high school. It's literally hasn't changed. Nothing's really changed,
Speaker 1: except for like now it's like a little more scared
Speaker 1: of like gun violence. But nothing's really Kids still getting
Speaker 1: beat up, kids still talking smack.
Speaker 2: When you see a kid that you don't like getting
Speaker 2: beat up, you break it up, or you take your time.
Speaker 1: I'll wait a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2: He's gonna learn to break it up.
Speaker 1: Boys in Mississippi to Mississippi.
Speaker 2: Kids are really still fighting. I mean, because I feel
Speaker 2: like there's more bullying online now that you don't have
Speaker 2: to bully people in real life.
Speaker 1: Girls hands real. I've walked into the third floor. I
Speaker 1: remember I saw just a weave, just a weave on
Speaker 1: the ground. No chocolate milk, chocolate mill and like, uh, frosted.
Speaker 2: Flake well, for those of y'all that don't know black
Speaker 2: women bleed chocolate mill, Yes, that's whatever that looks like
Speaker 2: frost flake.
Speaker 1: I was. I was so confused, and then I was
Speaker 1: gonna take a picture, and then I was like, I
Speaker 1: gotta go teach his algebra, and I just left and
Speaker 1: then when I came back, it was gone.
Speaker 2: I was like, damn, yes, she came to a pick
Speaker 2: up her bundles. Wait, so you see all this stuff happen.
Speaker 2: Do you, like sometimes do you cross the line and
Speaker 2: kind of befriend these trouble kids, like try to help them,
Speaker 2: like dangerous minds type style?
Speaker 1: Michelle, I think the best way I can help them
Speaker 1: is getting them out of high school. So I'm like
Speaker 1: some girls, some friends. Let's you're my friend, what's up?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yo, I'm not your friend, bro, Just
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get you to learn these these words
Speaker 1: you call your kids, bro, sometimes write these sentences and
Speaker 1: then just get out of high school. Like that's all
Speaker 1: my whole My whole job is like to get you
Speaker 1: out of high school.
Speaker 2: Okay, get you out of high school, but what about college?
Speaker 1: That's not me. Once I got you out the door,
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna do fine, and some
Speaker 1: some high schools not. I mean college. College is not
Speaker 1: for some people. Sometimes you're like, maybe you should get
Speaker 1: a trade, my.
Speaker 2: Guy, Yeah, a trade.
Speaker 1: I had a kid in ninth grade and I asked him.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, what do you want to do
Speaker 1: in your life? What do you want to do? And
Speaker 1: he's like, I just want to work at the office.
Speaker 1: And I said, let's go, my man. And he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, work at office nine to five, make copies,
Speaker 1: send emails like I T T T T TECHT.
Speaker 2: I mean office max for that. Yeah, I've been working
Speaker 2: in office.
Speaker 1: But I was like, because I want to be a
Speaker 1: space man. I want to be a cowboy.
Speaker 2: And he was like, space, I'm gonna work at office,
Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna do. And I said that's the
Speaker 2: most realistic. You're like, that's that is in you could
Speaker 2: achieve that. Yeah, reach for reach for the ceiling, the stars,
Speaker 2: not even the reach for the window, for the window,
Speaker 2: that's it. Does that make you sad a little bit?
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna be fine. He's good because he's grounded,
Speaker 1: because he's one of the kids who don't care about
Speaker 1: Some kids don't care about school. Like when I say
Speaker 1: they don't care, they.
Speaker 2: Do not care. He wants to be an influencer since
Speaker 2: he's trying to be you know, self flat on me tea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, I'm like, they don't don't. I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, whatever, just what you want to do, live
Speaker 1: your best life.
Speaker 2: Also, like I had no idea what I wanted to
Speaker 2: do when I was in high school. I knew that
Speaker 2: I wanted to carry a briefcase. I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm a wear little pants suits with skirts, you know,
Speaker 2: and I'll have a briefcase.
Speaker 1: Because it's because, as a matter of fact, it's crazy
Speaker 1: to ask, like in the next four years to be
Speaker 1: like you're going to go from like freshman year, We're like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what my life is. I don't even
Speaker 1: know if I like girls until like senior year, where
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, you're going to go to college
Speaker 1: and you better make sure you have this major because
Speaker 1: once you go into the it's so there's so much
Speaker 1: stuff that you need to between. I'm like some kids,
Speaker 1: if they don't get it, they're kind of just like
Speaker 1: I'm lost and I don't know.
Speaker 2: That, but like also too, like we're sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,
Speaker 2: We're supposed to know what we want to do with
Speaker 2: the rest of our lives. I mean, I'm and I
Speaker 2: don't know what I want to do with the rest
Speaker 2: of my life right now, right and I don't know
Speaker 2: what I want to do with the rest of my life,
Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean. Do we do comedy
Speaker 2: and we do this same thing kind of day in
Speaker 2: and day out, and I'm like, I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 2: I should go back, maybe I should see what mister
Speaker 2: McGill thinks, Like somebody needs to take me to the
Speaker 2: guidance office. I was watching too much TV, Like I
Speaker 2: was watching Law and Order a lot. So I wanted
Speaker 2: to be a lawyer. I really did. I was like,
Speaker 2: I want to go to school for law, and then
Speaker 2: I didn't get into any schools that had to do
Speaker 2: with the law. Also, my essats were terrible. Also, they
Speaker 2: were like you're writing like dependmanship, like how are you
Speaker 2: going to get to law school? Looking to becoming a
Speaker 2: vent ventary school. So they were just like trying to
Speaker 2: be realistic with me, like I don't know if laws
Speaker 2: in the cards for you. So then I was like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: I like I like talking to people. I like networking
Speaker 2: and things of that story, and they're like, oh, communications PR.
Speaker 2: So then I was like, oh public relations, I had
Speaker 2: an internship and everything. Do they do that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well have internship? Yeah they haven't. It just depends
Speaker 1: on some kids don't know what they really like to
Speaker 1: do because they never asked that, Like, Yo, what do
Speaker 1: you like to do? I like playing video games? But
Speaker 1: then you're like you want to make video games? Like
Speaker 1: now that is hard? And so like most kids don't
Speaker 1: ever have that opportunity just because they're bombarded with work
Speaker 1: or life and just the way that social media social
Speaker 1: the way that the world is now, it's very weird
Speaker 1: that kids some kids are like what do I want
Speaker 1: to do?
Speaker 2: How do they balance?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: Because I remember when we were in school and it
Speaker 2: was just like all you had pretty much was the
Speaker 2: school society. And now you're like, oh, I have this
Speaker 2: social media society and real life and I'm trying to
Speaker 2: juggle both. So it's like, how do you have time
Speaker 2: to figure out what the fuck is?
Speaker 1: Want?
Speaker 2: So crazy to me though, like we would have like
Speaker 2: when you're in high school or when we were in
Speaker 2: high school, it's your whole life. You don't know anything else,
Speaker 2: nothing else. You feel like everything that happens to you
Speaker 2: on a day to day is the most important thing
Speaker 2: in your life. Ye you get in the cafeteria at lunch,
Speaker 2: you might never go to that lunch period ever, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. But now these kids are they
Speaker 2: got they competing with people with more followers than them
Speaker 2: in like I don't know, in Botswana, and they trying
Speaker 2: to learn how to do a cat eye, and they
Speaker 2: trying to contour for school, and they gotta wear a
Speaker 2: name brand clothes and they want to look like Kim
Speaker 2: Kay and it's just like crazy. You don't need a
Speaker 2: big ass in the ninth grade, right, You'll need it
Speaker 2: when you're forty five. That's when it's crucial. That's when
Speaker 2: people are not gonna do shit for you unless you
Speaker 2: got an ass. Yeah, So is that like do you
Speaker 2: see that? Do you see the differences in like what
Speaker 2: school was like for you when you were there two
Speaker 2: years ago versus now when you're a teacher two years later.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see it. But I I and I think
Speaker 1: it's cool that I'm so young and I see it
Speaker 1: and I'm in this culture and you relate to them.
Speaker 1: I'm really to them, but I'm also there to like
Speaker 1: I can be like a not a I can be
Speaker 1: the person that I wanted to be that I needed
Speaker 1: to have in like high school. So it's cool because
Speaker 1: I'm actually like, oh, like, no, you're like you're worth more.
Speaker 1: Your value is not in Instagram or whatever followers you have.
Speaker 1: Like no, it's like you are amazing. You're you're wonderful,
Speaker 1: You're great.
Speaker 2: You don't need your You're a very Christian though, yeah,
Speaker 2: but I'm that you're like you're into the Lord to
Speaker 2: church a lot.
Speaker 1: So Sundays, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, do you do you put that on the children sometimes?
Speaker 5: Like you real Christian? So she texted that you was like,
Speaker 5: tell him he real Christian? Roust him for his faith.
Speaker 1: I think it's just the outworking of my faith?
Speaker 2: Is just me? You hear that outworking? I don't know
Speaker 2: if we can have you around the kids, we're all
Speaker 2: all the outworking of your faith? Is that what you're
Speaker 2: saying to the children. If I was a mother, I
Speaker 2: be like, well, what if we don't believe in God?
Speaker 1: That's cool. I'm gonna still, you know, treat your child
Speaker 1: with respect, you know, I'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna cheat him like a child of God. We're all
Speaker 2: children of God. Yeah, the Lord, the Lord. You might
Speaker 2: not believe in the Lord, but he's here. He's touching
Speaker 2: your shoulder, sticks, his dick is on your forehead on
Speaker 2: but yeah, And he was like, I'm leaving it. He
Speaker 2: closed his notebook. He's like, I said, well, I think
Speaker 2: it's time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some kids that you know that are assholes,
Speaker 1: and you gotta like treat them like they're like they deserve.
Speaker 1: Like I brought this paper here, okay, okay, because I
Speaker 1: made a kid write a paper on why his words matter?
Speaker 2: What words did he use that you felt?
Speaker 1: Oh, he was in the back of class. This is
Speaker 1: last year. He was in the back of class. And
Speaker 1: if my coworkers here still lives, he was in the
Speaker 1: back of class and he whispered. He I heard him whisper, Oh,
Speaker 1: mister McGill's a faggot. And I said, excuse me, mm hmm,
Speaker 1: what was that, sir? And I brought him up and
Speaker 1: I said, you know, if you say this word on
Speaker 1: the street to me two forty five, you know, we
Speaker 1: just people, you know that, right? And I said, your
Speaker 1: words matter, son, And I said, now you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to write this paper on why your words matter. And
Speaker 1: I wanted I want it today. I said, I want
Speaker 1: it in my office at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: It's like I got you. I said, I'm calling your mom,
Speaker 1: I'm calling your dad, I'm calling your past and the deans.
Speaker 1: I said, we're gonna have to learn so.
Speaker 2: Here to shut up, mister McGill. I've seen you play.
Speaker 1: Ball, and he wrote this paper, and I want to
Speaker 1: read this paper because it's really bad.
Speaker 2: Oh look at that show and tell.
Speaker 1: I said, words matter because it can affect people in
Speaker 1: a certain way. Words can hurt or affect people in
Speaker 1: a bad way, which I did. I felt bad because
Speaker 1: my words was all over the place. But words matter
Speaker 1: because people can feel a type of way about it,
Speaker 1: a type of way. My words made my teacher feel
Speaker 1: mad and disappointed at me because of the words I said.
Speaker 1: My words wasn't men not to harm or hurt my teacher.
Speaker 1: Is was just for a joking matter so I could
Speaker 1: get my friends to laugh at it, like I was
Speaker 1: always do. But my words said again, you.
Speaker 2: Did you teach him?
Speaker 1: I did not teach him any of the fun did
Speaker 1: I write that actually like paper, this.
Speaker 2: Is city's paper. How does the note end? What's the
Speaker 2: last line? Just give us, don't read.
Speaker 1: He says, my words matter, and the words that I
Speaker 1: say will not harm the people in my class.
Speaker 2: And I said, he just wrote my words over and
Speaker 2: over again? Was that a coup?
Speaker 1: What I think it was?
Speaker 2: My words matter because they be hurting and it was
Speaker 2: not what I meant to have it been done.
Speaker 1: But every day, but every time I see him, I
Speaker 1: remember that. And he looks at me and.
Speaker 2: He's like, have you ever called somebody's mom knowing they
Speaker 2: was gonna let the ass beat and you were like,
Speaker 2: good servant.
Speaker 1: It was a Haitian mom. Somebody gallons And I called
Speaker 1: his mom and I was like, basically, I'm Haitian. And
Speaker 1: he said, and then we talked and I was like,
Speaker 1: I knew when he was going home that he was
Speaker 1: going to catch your hand. And he came into work,
Speaker 1: He came to work, He came to school the next
Speaker 1: day and.
Speaker 2: He was like he couldn't sit.
Speaker 1: Probably he said, damn. My mom called my dad and
Speaker 1: he said, why do you have to do that, mister Drew?
Speaker 1: I said, girlings, because you don't come to class boy
Speaker 1: and now he comes to class. So it's all for
Speaker 1: the benefit of the kid.
Speaker 2: But you know, now, like beating is not good. It
Speaker 2: doesn't it doesn't help kids. I mean it helps Look
Speaker 2: at me, look at all of us. I was be two,
Speaker 2: and I think I'm just just reprimand your child, Like
Speaker 2: I don't know what's But why can't you just talk
Speaker 2: to them? I think that's why we're so bad at
Speaker 2: communication skills because we don't we don't talk. But some
Speaker 2: people should have gotten smacked around a little bit. Some
Speaker 2: people don't need to be talk to all the time
Speaker 2: because they don't listen and by some people don't. Is
Speaker 2: that where we're promoting on the on the podcast your
Speaker 2: domestic abuse? But like you in the face, no shut
Speaker 2: up person, No, no, no, that's assessment. Is that Do
Speaker 2: I see that bottom lip? Did you just roll your
Speaker 2: It's like no, I just can't see you hitting my
Speaker 2: I have allergies.
Speaker 1: I just think there's just they're like they're sometimes it's
Speaker 1: like talking doesn't help.
Speaker 2: But maybe they have like like mental issues.
Speaker 1: Maybe. No, that is very true. There are some students
Speaker 1: that are like I could think of one student, a
Speaker 1: couple of students for instance, that of like transitioning. They're
Speaker 1: going from like male to female female and male and
Speaker 1: like they and it's not about like talking to their
Speaker 1: parents so they can hit them and get in trouble,
Speaker 1: but it's like talking to the parents of their parents
Speaker 1: know that, like, hey, this this child's going through something
Speaker 1: and whatever, whatever way you can help them. You need
Speaker 1: to just have the resources to help them. And some
Speaker 1: parents aren't equipped to have kids. Some people shouldn't have
Speaker 1: had kids.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that. Let's talk about it. That's really
Speaker 2: like I really just feel like just because you have
Speaker 2: the reproductive you know, parts to like have a child,
Speaker 2: it does not mean you should have one. I feel
Speaker 2: like you there needs to be classes on how to
Speaker 2: take care of children. Also, there should be classes on
Speaker 2: how to get away with murder. I do think that, Yeah,
Speaker 2: not everybody should have children. Also, not everybody needs to
Speaker 2: have them, like some of I mean, I don't think
Speaker 2: I want children, Honestly, I don't think that. I don't
Speaker 2: think that that's in my car. You give me Auntie
Speaker 2: vibes for sure, thank you, good aunt. None of my
Speaker 2: siblings have kids either, So okay, well, Andrew, go ahead
Speaker 2: and have some babies. That could be a cool aunt,
Speaker 2: cousin aunt.
Speaker 1: No, I just I don't know, man, It's it's weird.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I talk to some parents, I'm like, but then
Speaker 1: I also understand, like, damn, he's like they're going through
Speaker 1: a lot. Like one of my parents. One of my
Speaker 1: kids parents like they're super sick and the girl never
Speaker 1: comes to it.
Speaker 2: Sounds like your class be empty, nobody, nobody's there. What
Speaker 2: is that attendance rate over there?
Speaker 1: Now that it's good? The morning we have, like because
Speaker 1: I have thirty four kids in my morning class and maybe,
Speaker 1: like you know, twenty twenty seven come thirty four is
Speaker 1: a big class. Yeah, they're all big classes.
Speaker 2: How do you tend to all of these these children?
Speaker 1: You just gotta like have good time management and just
Speaker 1: power through, power through who and definitely just check in.
Speaker 1: But you okay, you're good. And some kids like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm fine, leave me alone. I'm like all right, cool whatever.
Speaker 1: And some kids are like you good, and they'll be
Speaker 1: like no, actually need help, and you'd be.
Speaker 2: Like, all right, after class, I got twenty seven other
Speaker 2: students that I need to get to. So I'm gonna
Speaker 2: get back to you. Andrew, what's your curriculum curriculum. What's
Speaker 2: your syllabus? What did it look like?
Speaker 1: For Western World literature, we're doing Frankenstein the books that
Speaker 1: I did not read nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2: Four as well nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they still got that in schools, nineteen eighty four,
Speaker 1: Big Brother, Yeah, big Brother.
Speaker 2: Oh, come on, Sydney Walk.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: Yes, we're doing Fahrenheit, and then we're doing a couple
Speaker 1: of them, the movie the Michael Mormon fahegh for yeah,
Speaker 1: fift fair and fo oh. And then for American literature,
Speaker 1: we start off with the Puritans. Then we go off
Speaker 1: to the Puritans, the Native of Native American.
Speaker 2: No, now, do you really get into the Native Americans?
Speaker 2: Do you tell them what's really good?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Our history? And then we're going to how we owe them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course. And then we're going to our slavery unit.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Reading.
Speaker 2: Yeah, reading the Frederick Douglas.
Speaker 1: I give you that book.
Speaker 2: No, I've ordered it, but yes, I've read it, and
Speaker 2: it's something that I feel like people should be.
Speaker 1: So we're going to do Frederick Douglas and then we'll
Speaker 1: go to the Roaring twenties, and then we'll end off.
Speaker 2: With so first slavery, we're just doing Frederick Douglas and
Speaker 2: then the Roaring Twenties, No, great, the Great Cats.
Speaker 1: Because Frederick Douglas is the first big text that they're
Speaker 1: going to do, and we pair it with like some
Speaker 1: articles from the thirteenth and a whole bunch of stuff.
Speaker 2: Are there Bige chilled in your class? Do they know
Speaker 2: about their people?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What is that quass? Do they know that their ancestors
Speaker 2: are terrible? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But they try to be better?
Speaker 2: How are they are they venmoing the other black class?
Speaker 2: That's the only way you can fix this three.
Speaker 1: But I think just them knowing. I think just being
Speaker 1: in that class and knowing of all the things that
Speaker 1: are going on in society and that have happened they
Speaker 1: it makes them better people because they can go in society,
Speaker 1: oh knowing like, okay, there are people that were definitely marginalized,
Speaker 1: and we're here before that they.
Speaker 2: Know about racism, of course, Andrew by mister mcgilby telling
Speaker 2: them they read the news. I also do, like read
Speaker 2: the news. They read Facebook news feeds.
Speaker 1: Also do a Black Lives Story book club, so we
Speaker 1: read a book, but we also like talk about articles
Speaker 1: and things that are going on in society.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's open to the public.
Speaker 1: Or yeah, we're doing we're doing a big like teach out.
Speaker 1: Probably at the end of the year will guess and
Speaker 1: oh yeah we got we got.
Speaker 2: Books, convincity, come and read some poems. Say again your
Speaker 2: weave this crooked. Today we talk about we just may
Speaker 2: can I say brother to the night?
Speaker 1: You can? So one of my students, I have to
Speaker 1: do a project by November twenty second day. It is
Speaker 1: November November something, and she told me I had to
Speaker 1: get her three bundles of thirty inches with a twenty
Speaker 1: eight inch frontal by November twenty second. She told, thank you?
Speaker 2: Is this her Christmas list? She just says her grown
Speaker 2: up Christmas.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get met these bundles because she's doing the
Speaker 1: project alone that she should have done with a group.
Speaker 2: Okay, So you promised her the bundles or she asked
Speaker 2: for them so she could do this project, and you said.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, if you do this project, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get you these bundles.
Speaker 2: Okay, how are you going to get them? You have
Speaker 2: money for you know how much bundles?
Speaker 1: She said it was. I don't know how much, she said,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's a couple of hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: It's one hundred dollars for thirty inches, for three bundles
Speaker 1: of thirty in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, more than one hundred dollars. It's wandering. One bundle
Speaker 2: might cost you ninety dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude said, bundles cost five dollars.
Speaker 2: She she talked about that. She's talking about the kick
Speaker 2: alone beauty of Black Store Hair. She talking about that
Speaker 2: Foxy Brown, like, yeah, yacky, yacky.
Speaker 1: Well, I know she's not gonna do it. It's a
Speaker 1: little in between us. I know you're gonna do it.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, yeah, yeah, you can do it. I'll
Speaker 1: bring the bundles, okay, And if she does, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: bring it. I'm you know what I'm gonna do. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna buy the bundles. I'm gonna spend the money on
Speaker 1: the bundles. Bring it. And when I know she don't
Speaker 1: have it, I'm gonna give it to another black girl.
Speaker 2: In the clock. That's problematic. But I don't know. If
Speaker 2: you're a good teacher, and I know I I think
Speaker 2: I'm no, no, your your heart is in the good place,
Speaker 2: in a good place, and like you're really passionate about it,
Speaker 2: and I think that's what's missing from a lot of
Speaker 2: teachers just in this day and age. I mean, I
Speaker 2: haven't met a lot, but I just feel like they're
Speaker 2: not getting paid enough and they're not getting respected enough,
Speaker 2: and there's so much to teach. There's so much to
Speaker 2: learn and so much to teach, and I just feel
Speaker 2: like school sometimes is just super unbalanced, and so everybody's
Speaker 2: stressed out. Like, who is having a good time in school?
Speaker 1: If you're really good at doing what the teacher told
Speaker 1: you to do, those kids are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nerds sitting nerves are good at school. People who
Speaker 2: come from immigrant families, first generation American, those are good
Speaker 2: students because their parents beat them when they go home.
Speaker 2: Those are people who are good students. People whose parents
Speaker 2: are like, I didn't come through this country for you
Speaker 2: do not know how to read like you? Like that
Speaker 2: was the conversation that we would have in my house.
Speaker 2: I would come home and I bet I got a
Speaker 2: ninety eight on a test, and my mom would be like,
Speaker 2: what happened to the other two points? And it was
Speaker 2: like a point. But every single test I bought home,
Speaker 2: if it wasn't a hundred, it was like okay, well,
Speaker 2: what happened. And it was like, Mommy, I'm messing up
Speaker 2: the curve. I'm missing, I'm throwing a whole curve off.
Speaker 2: And it was like, okay, but we like you. You
Speaker 2: grew up in this country. You speak English. You should
Speaker 2: be getting a hundred in English. And it was like,
Speaker 2: I don't really know all the words good, and it
Speaker 2: was like that was not an excuse. That's crazy doing well.
Speaker 2: I would be in school just getting se no, like
Speaker 2: getting b's and stuff, and I would come home and
Speaker 2: my mother's like, well, you tried your best friend? What
Speaker 2: you what you done?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: Now that's this explains our personality differences. Oh, like you
Speaker 2: did your best My mom be like you could have
Speaker 2: done it. But then but then when I would get
Speaker 2: like a's and stuff, she would try to reward me
Speaker 2: and buy things, and it's like and that would push
Speaker 2: me to want to do more and do better. I
Speaker 2: got nothing. All right, Well, Andrew, you was running late,
Speaker 2: so we got to actually we got to end this
Speaker 2: episode early. My last question for you is actually have
Speaker 2: two questions. One is can you tell when kids forge
Speaker 2: their parents signa?

Speaker 1: let me call uh, let me call missus moy real quick,
Speaker 1: and then I'll open the cause we have called their parents.
Speaker 1: I'll call it in the middle class. Oh, while I'm teaching.
Speaker 1: I'll be like, hello, did you sign this list for U?
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, and then be like no, I'm okay,
Speaker 1: hold up, wait a minute. I'm gonna put her on
Speaker 1: the phone, and I gave you FaceTime.

Speaker 2: how does it get to that that point? Like how
Speaker 2: do these teachers have time find? Do these kids be No? No,
Speaker 2: not me memory, Yeah, they're disgusting. It's just like how
Speaker 2: do they get so close? Because I didn't even get
Speaker 2: to speak to my teachers that much. But you had
Speaker 2: a teacher that you was like, oh, he's fine. No,
Speaker 2: I never had any teacher that was attractive. They all
Speaker 2: was like lazy eye, stringy hair, nail over from the bag.
Speaker 2: I've never had a hot teacher. I had like a

Speaker 2: Yuck. Then this question is weird. But the devil asked
Speaker 2: me to ask thatation, Sister Washington, chuck your bundles behind
Speaker 2: your ear and say the word, O my god. Because
Speaker 2: I was in high school and there was a situation
Speaker 2: where it was there was this teacher like I had.
