WEBVTT - MINI: Homework

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Melbourne.

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the Christian No Common Show podcast.

0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 3>And Melbourne is out of lockdown, which is amazing news.

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:10.639
<v Speaker 3>The atmosphere in my house yesterday, amongst the teenagers been

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 3>trapped back indoors, slumped in front of laptops. Jim My

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:16.480
<v Speaker 3>wife said yesterday I don't think they've done a lot

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:17.279
<v Speaker 3>of their homework, and.

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:20.479
<v Speaker 2>I went, I don't care. You know whos problem? That is?

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 2>The schools?

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I wouldn't sat front of a laptop for those

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 3>two weeks. I'd be disappointed they had still been knuckling

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 3>down doing that just.

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 2>To survive, just get through it. Okay, that's the school problem. Tomorrow, Well,

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 2>all your.

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Work really becomes homework because you're at home twenty fourth

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>to seven. Why force them to do work outside of

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the school hours.

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 2>So obviously we're two daughters at home.

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.519
<v Speaker 3>Okay, they're in separate parts right doing their online schooling.

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 3>And I overhear bits of various teachers. Yesterday I overheard

0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 3>a very enthusiastic but wildly naive math teacher and she

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 3>was going, do you know what, I just want to say,

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 3>it's great news and do you know what's been so hard? So?

0:00:59.120 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Hey, how for you go.

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm really looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. I'm

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 3>just looking forward also just seeing all the work you've

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 3>been doing ANYR homework for your mates, And I went, oh,

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.039
<v Speaker 3>if that's your goal for tomorrow, you're going to be

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 3>so grush spoiler alert. None of them would have done

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 3>not just any but certainly not maths work. Who's got

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:20.960
<v Speaker 3>enough If you're a teenager or a kid, who's got

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.119
<v Speaker 3>enough about them in a fifth, lockdown to knuckle down

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 3>and do your maths homework.

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>When I was thirteen years old, my mum and dad

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>pulled me out of school for a couple of months

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>and we went on our first ever overseas holiday.

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Your presson agreeing you went to Europe?

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so they were. They essentially said before we started school,

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>do you want to go to a nice school or

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 1>save that money and go on a European holiday? And

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>we chose European. Great choice, and they all my teachers

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>gave me like months worth of work. It's they fill

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:46.680
<v Speaker 1>out these.

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Books like we do on the show.

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Fill out these books so that you don't fall behind,

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and then when you come back you can.

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Go, you know, and you're going to be climbing in Budapest,

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 3>swatting in Paris, you know, sat underneath the Eiffel Tower.

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Jack, you're coming up. I can't. So I had on

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 2>algebra test when I get back.

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I had I got home four days before I had

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to go back to school, Math, English.

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Geography, History. All these books were six month's worth of education.

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Two pages filled out, and then.

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 3>Like a dangerous mind trying to absorb all this information.

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>And then I actually remember my mum trying to help

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 1>me go, like, well, maybe you can say to your

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>history teacher, for example, that you've visited some castle.

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Teachers have never heard that one before.

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh history, I watched a movie there was some historical

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 3>stuff and I don't worry about it.

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Then the chat post do you still have? I still

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:34.079
<v Speaker 2>have that.

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 3>Nightmare once a week when I'm in an exam in

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.399
<v Speaker 3>school and I haven't done my homework all revision. When

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 3>were those dreams?

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Stop? Stop? School has nothing to do with me. Now

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>it's got nothing over me. On forty eight, when will

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>they ever stop? The Christian O'Connell Show podcast
