1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,213
Okay, let's move on to "ard."
2
00:00:02,218 --> 00:00:03,250
Ard.
3
00:00:03,255 --> 00:00:04,948
Right, which means "alright."
4
00:00:04,953 --> 00:00:07,652
So, the kids here use
a lot of Philadelphia slang,
5
00:00:07,658 --> 00:00:09,724
or as we call it, "Philly slang."
6
00:00:09,728 --> 00:00:12,830
So I like to incorporate
it as sight words,
7
00:00:12,835 --> 00:00:14,826
which are words that kids recognize
8
00:00:14,830 --> 00:00:16,330
without sounding them out.
9
00:00:16,370 --> 00:00:18,902
For instance, "boul" means "boy,"
10
00:00:18,908 --> 00:00:20,699
so I'd say like,
11
00:00:20,704 --> 00:00:22,667
"Ooh, I have a crush on boul."
12
00:00:22,672 --> 00:00:25,603
Or, "Boul Meets World"
is my favorite show.
13
00:00:25,672 --> 00:00:26,672
"Cheesesteak."
14
00:00:26,676 --> 00:00:28,472
Cheesesteak.
15
00:00:28,478 --> 00:00:30,100
And let's go to "boul."
16
00:00:30,106 --> 00:00:31,141
Boul.
17
00:00:31,146 --> 00:00:32,548
Right. Sometimes it's spelled B-U-L,
18
00:00:32,551 --> 00:00:33,610
which is interesting.
19
00:00:33,615 --> 00:00:34,947
What is going on in this classroom?
20
00:00:34,951 --> 00:00:36,244
Hey, Mrs. Howard.
21
00:00:36,250 --> 00:00:38,582
I'm just teaching the
kids some sight words.
22
00:00:40,155 --> 00:00:44,923
It's a helpful teaching tool,
because these kids use these...
23
00:00:44,927 --> 00:00:47,493
- Jawns...
- Jawns all the time.
24
00:00:47,499 --> 00:00:49,365
You're abandoning the phonics principle
25
00:00:49,369 --> 00:00:51,302
that these children need.
26
00:00:51,698 --> 00:00:54,332
This is a classroom, not a hoagie stand.
27
00:00:54,337 --> 00:00:55,899
Oh, boom. Hoagie.
28
00:00:55,905 --> 00:00:57,866
Hoagie.
29
00:00:57,871 --> 00:01:01,106
We had it on the board, so...
30
00:01:01,110 --> 00:01:02,542
Hm.
31
00:01:03,957 --> 00:01:05,242
Okay, kids.
32
00:01:05,248 --> 00:01:08,442
Let us move on to "oldhead," one word.
33
00:01:08,448 --> 00:01:10,079
Oldhead.
34
00:01:10,085 --> 00:01:12,414
Young bouls are so disrespectful.
35
00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:14,789
Synced & corrected by QueenMaddie

36
00:01:25,698 --> 00:01:27,331
They said that... Oh, they do. Look.
37
00:01:27,335 --> 00:01:30,186
- Excuse me. Excuse me.
- What it do, Abbott teaching crew?
38
00:01:30,670 --> 00:01:32,203
Damn, the last time I was up this early
39
00:01:32,206 --> 00:01:33,840
was to cuss out the mailman.
40
00:01:33,972 --> 00:01:35,371
I don't need all them bills coming.
41
00:01:35,377 --> 00:01:37,539
Uh, I thought breakfast
was being provided.
42
00:01:37,543 --> 00:01:39,376
Don't act like you don't see
these little boxes of cereal
43
00:01:39,379 --> 00:01:40,420
right here.
44
00:01:40,847 --> 00:01:42,543
So, listen up.
45
00:01:42,549 --> 00:01:45,183
Your favorite HBIC, AKA me,
46
00:01:45,188 --> 00:01:47,682
has acquired some new
learning technology
47
00:01:47,688 --> 00:01:49,418
that will help our little
ones with their reading.
48
00:01:49,423 --> 00:01:50,787
Well, the school district mandated it.
49
00:01:50,792 --> 00:01:52,093
It's a city-wide push.
50
00:01:52,634 --> 00:01:53,991
What are you doing here?
51
00:01:53,996 --> 00:01:55,525
This isn't for 6th
through 8th grade teachers.
52
00:01:55,528 --> 00:01:56,996
I'm just here for the camaraderie,
53
00:01:57,001 --> 00:01:59,033
and this tasty breakfast.
54
00:01:59,463 --> 00:02:01,864
You guys, I have been
reading up on this,
55
00:02:01,868 --> 00:02:04,203
and our students are
gonna get a huge boost
56
00:02:04,207 --> 00:02:05,301
from this software.
57
00:02:05,305 --> 00:02:06,503
I mean, our kids are gonna be reading
58
00:02:06,507 --> 00:02:07,522
at the speed of light.
59
00:02:07,528 --> 00:02:09,906
Well, I, for one, prefer
the tried and true methods
60
00:02:09,911 --> 00:02:12,343
over whatever the latest doohickey is.
61
00:02:12,348 --> 00:02:14,209
I mean, I have yet to see the program
62
00:02:14,213 --> 00:02:18,013
that can do what I do
by, you know, teaching.
63
00:02:18,115 --> 00:02:22,050
Well, old-school teaching is great,
64
00:02:22,055 --> 00:02:24,772
but the latest doohickey
can be a helpful addition.
65
00:02:24,777 --> 00:02:26,377
Yeah, tech has its place.
66
00:02:26,383 --> 00:02:29,453
Like when you haven't been
with a man for a few years.
67
00:02:30,829 --> 00:02:33,361
Um, are subs gonna have to do this?
68
00:02:33,366 --> 00:02:35,394
I thought I'd mainly
be showing Pixar movies.
69
00:02:35,399 --> 00:02:38,300
You guys, all I'm saying is,
we should keep an open mind.
70
00:02:38,305 --> 00:02:40,569
There was a great website
called AtoZOneTwoThree
71
00:02:40,574 --> 00:02:42,770
that taught me how to
read when I was a kid.
72
00:02:42,775 --> 00:02:44,670
My parents certainly
weren't around to do it.
73
00:02:44,995 --> 00:02:47,093
I had to potty-train myself.
74
00:02:47,548 --> 00:02:49,112
Overshare.
75
00:02:49,117 --> 00:02:51,788
Well, I do not need some
young Zuckerburn...
76
00:02:51,793 --> 00:02:52,807
Zuckerberg.
77
00:02:52,812 --> 00:02:55,383
Pimple-faced kid fresh
from the Smart Bar...
78
00:02:55,388 --> 00:02:57,322
- Genius Bar...
- ... telling me how to teach!
79
00:02:57,326 --> 00:02:59,093
Good morning.
80
00:02:59,389 --> 00:03:00,555
You're the tech teacher?
81
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,725
Sure am.
82
00:03:01,828 --> 00:03:03,889
Can't keep us old folks down, right?
83
00:03:04,294 --> 00:03:06,193
Alright, what I'm
providing you with today
84
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,159
will revolutionize your classrooms.
85
00:03:08,164 --> 00:03:10,164
It not only helps in
teaching students how to read,
86
00:03:10,169 --> 00:03:12,564
it delivers up-to-the-minute
data on their progress
87
00:03:12,569 --> 00:03:14,902
that will be analyzed
at the end of each day.
88
00:03:14,907 --> 00:03:16,906
And the better the results,
the more funding we get,
89
00:03:16,909 --> 00:03:18,469
- so this is good, y'all.
- Mm-hmm.
90
00:03:18,474 --> 00:03:20,175
Each of you will get one of these.
91
00:03:20,180 --> 00:03:21,413
New tablets!
92
00:03:21,419 --> 00:03:22,683
Yeah!
93
00:03:23,545 --> 00:03:27,014
Okay, who do you got to bang
to get into the analytics annex?
94
00:03:27,019 --> 00:03:28,639
It's really very easy.
95
00:03:29,574 --> 00:03:30,784
Just use the highlight tool
96
00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:32,917
to pinpoint the pronunciation mistakes,
97
00:03:32,921 --> 00:03:35,590
create a word cloud,
output a ranks list,
98
00:03:35,594 --> 00:03:38,262
see the percentage of your
students that missed that word,
99
00:03:38,266 --> 00:03:40,561
and that'll determine
whether it becomes a "TAI,"
100
00:03:40,566 --> 00:03:42,500
or "Targeted Area for Improvement."
101
00:03:42,504 --> 00:03:44,276
- Easy-peasy, keep it breezy!
- Oh.
102
00:03:46,538 --> 00:03:47,966
Hey. How's it going, Barb?
103
00:03:47,971 --> 00:03:50,795
- Oh. Easy-peasy.
- Mm-hmm.
104
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,105
_
105
00:03:52,110 --> 00:03:53,920
Yeah, sure.
106
00:03:54,510 --> 00:03:57,211
I am so excited that
Barbara is so confused,
107
00:03:57,216 --> 00:03:59,816
because it means I get to
help her with something.
108
00:03:59,820 --> 00:04:01,580
I need her help every day,
109
00:04:01,586 --> 00:04:03,145
so if I can return the favor just once,
110
00:04:03,155 --> 00:04:04,514
it means I'm no longer a newbie...
111
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,507
I'm her peer.
112
00:04:07,156 --> 00:04:10,590
Gregory. Broseph. Brotato.
113
00:04:10,594 --> 00:04:13,085
Yeah, I'm still, uh...
Still finding that.
114
00:04:13,264 --> 00:04:15,829
What's up, man? I'm just
looking for some creamer.
115
00:04:15,834 --> 00:04:17,966
Listen, you're the new guy
here. I've been here a month.
116
00:04:17,970 --> 00:04:20,089
I am the second-year vet.
I figured I would, you know,
117
00:04:20,095 --> 00:04:22,235
show you a few things around here.
118
00:04:22,247 --> 00:04:23,747
No, I'm just, uh, looking for...
119
00:04:23,752 --> 00:04:25,952
So, we've got Ms. Cooper over there.
120
00:04:25,957 --> 00:04:27,504
I've been here a year and a half.
121
00:04:27,509 --> 00:04:29,143
She's been pregnant the whole time.
122
00:04:29,148 --> 00:04:30,343
I don't ask questions.
123
00:04:30,348 --> 00:04:31,848
I'll even take powdered creamer.
124
00:04:31,853 --> 00:04:33,151
That's Mrs. Robertson.
125
00:04:33,156 --> 00:04:35,514
Watch out, she will talk your ear off.
126
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:38,247
And, uh, oh, you know
Melissa, of course.
127
00:04:38,252 --> 00:04:41,521
She's, uh... you know,
the Southern Philly type.
128
00:04:41,526 --> 00:04:43,194
'Scuse me?
129
00:04:43,413 --> 00:04:45,012
You talking about me?
130
00:04:45,370 --> 00:04:46,560
Yeah, uh... I was...
131
00:04:46,564 --> 00:04:48,730
I was saying you are a, uh...
132
00:04:48,735 --> 00:04:50,329
A... A Southern Philly Type.
133
00:04:50,334 --> 00:04:52,067
- South Philly.
- Right. Right.
134
00:04:52,072 --> 00:04:53,632
That's what I said. Right.
135
00:04:53,637 --> 00:04:55,401
Honestly, it's like...
It's like the best part
136
00:04:55,406 --> 00:04:56,648
of our beautiful city.
137
00:04:56,653 --> 00:04:59,555
I love how you guys will
just, like, park anywhere.
138
00:04:59,713 --> 00:05:00,913
Yeah, okay.
139
00:05:00,918 --> 00:05:02,677
You know, I'm actually
teaching a lesson right now
140
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,711
about the unions in the city
141
00:05:03,714 --> 00:05:05,915
and how many of them
started in South Philly.
142
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,978
Oh, no way.
143
00:05:06,983 --> 00:05:08,716
I know some guys that were part of that.
144
00:05:09,552 --> 00:05:11,786
I'm glad you're teaching
that to the kids.
145
00:05:12,755 --> 00:05:14,088
Good job.
146
00:05:16,911 --> 00:05:18,745
Just like I said...
147
00:05:18,750 --> 00:05:21,382
she is a shady lady.
148
00:05:22,389 --> 00:05:24,088
That's why you and me, we
got to stick together, man.
149
00:05:24,093 --> 00:05:26,225
You know? Like coffee and creamer.
150
00:05:28,572 --> 00:05:30,492
Alright, in.
151
00:05:30,819 --> 00:05:33,834
Ugh. Teach the children
to read with this?
152
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:35,706
I can hardly read this.
153
00:05:37,884 --> 00:05:40,750
Now, who took that picture of me?
154
00:05:41,259 --> 00:05:42,750
Barbara.
155
00:05:42,754 --> 00:05:44,709
Oh, sorry.
156
00:05:45,002 --> 00:05:47,317
Hey, how's it going
with the new program?
157
00:05:47,322 --> 00:05:49,656
Oh, it's, uh, a little
hard to understand,
158
00:05:49,661 --> 00:05:52,023
but I'm getting the hang of it.
159
00:05:52,028 --> 00:05:53,259
Okay, yeah.
160
00:05:53,264 --> 00:05:55,766
Just wanted to check in in
case this was tricky for you.
161
00:05:55,771 --> 00:05:57,101
You know, I grew up with this stuff
162
00:05:57,105 --> 00:05:58,495
- and it gets me sometimes.
- Okay.
163
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:00,750
I somehow lost my crypto wallet.
164
00:06:00,754 --> 00:06:02,834
But you come from
a different generation,
165
00:06:02,838 --> 00:06:04,872
and so it would be
totally understandable
166
00:06:04,877 --> 00:06:06,410
if you were having trouble with it.
167
00:06:06,415 --> 00:06:07,906
Are you kidding me?
168
00:06:07,911 --> 00:06:09,975
I'm Miss Tech, you know. I love tech.
169
00:06:09,980 --> 00:06:12,976
Shop at the App Store. Got a Hotmail.
170
00:06:12,981 --> 00:06:15,148
I once even rode in a Tesla.
171
00:06:15,153 --> 00:06:17,327
I'm already ahead on the
first couple of lessons.
172
00:06:17,332 --> 00:06:18,581
- Wow.
- Yeah.
173
00:06:18,586 --> 00:06:19,786
Well, that's great. Can I see?
174
00:06:19,792 --> 00:06:21,562
- No.
- Oh.
175
00:06:21,567 --> 00:06:24,398
Janine, you're disturbing my students.
176
00:06:25,593 --> 00:06:26,660
I'm... I'm whispering.
177
00:06:26,665 --> 00:06:28,096
It's just your...
178
00:06:28,101 --> 00:06:29,369
overall presence,
179
00:06:29,374 --> 00:06:32,327
so if you wouldn't mind
just excusing yourself?
180
00:06:32,332 --> 00:06:36,077
I'm a little behind on my
Hotmail correspondences.
181
00:06:36,398 --> 00:06:37,408
Okay.
182
00:06:37,413 --> 00:06:38,731
Barbara says she's doing well,
183
00:06:38,737 --> 00:06:41,237
but this program is really hard.
184
00:06:41,242 --> 00:06:43,408
She just has a ton of pride,
185
00:06:43,413 --> 00:06:47,215
so I'm gonna wait for her
to come and ask me for help.
186
00:06:47,314 --> 00:06:49,081
Oh, I can't wait.
187
00:06:49,086 --> 00:06:52,086
And that is how union
and non-union workers
188
00:06:52,091 --> 00:06:54,182
came together and worked as one
189
00:06:54,187 --> 00:06:58,507
to help solve the labor
crisis in South Philly, okay?
190
00:06:59,386 --> 00:07:01,958
Alright, we are going to have to
191
00:07:01,963 --> 00:07:05,297
grab a noun from the Noun Pool...
192
00:07:05,302 --> 00:07:07,536
I don't get this.
193
00:07:07,668 --> 00:07:09,363
Sweetheart, neither do I.
194
00:07:09,369 --> 00:07:11,134
Okay, so here's
what I'm going to do.
195
00:07:11,137 --> 00:07:13,338
I'm going to continue teaching
my students how to read
196
00:07:13,343 --> 00:07:16,045
like I have been for 30 years.
197
00:07:16,050 --> 00:07:19,552
I'll input whatever information
I need to into that program,
198
00:07:19,557 --> 00:07:21,677
and then I'll just keep
doing what I have been doing,
199
00:07:21,682 --> 00:07:25,483
and everybody else will
just have to back off.
200
00:07:27,721 --> 00:07:29,120
Hey, Hill.
201
00:07:29,125 --> 00:07:30,884
That lesson, that was garbage.
202
00:07:30,889 --> 00:07:32,288
- That's not what happened.
- Okay, well,
203
00:07:32,292 --> 00:07:33,723
I've read several books on the subject.
204
00:07:33,726 --> 00:07:35,456
I think I know the
history of the lesson.
205
00:07:35,461 --> 00:07:36,927
Well, me and my family lived it,
206
00:07:36,932 --> 00:07:38,161
so I think we know the history.
207
00:07:38,165 --> 00:07:39,629
I've also listened to several podcasts.
208
00:07:39,632 --> 00:07:40,932
Look, how about this?
209
00:07:40,937 --> 00:07:43,264
I know a guy who was actually
a captain back in the day.
210
00:07:43,269 --> 00:07:45,033
How about I hook you up,
he can come to the class
211
00:07:45,038 --> 00:07:47,577
and do like an eyewitness
account for the kids?
212
00:07:48,384 --> 00:07:50,971
Unexpected, but I am so happy
213
00:07:50,976 --> 00:07:52,576
Melissa's bringing in a police captain.
214
00:07:52,581 --> 00:07:53,875
He's gonna be able to talk to the kids
215
00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:55,512
about how this is done peacefully.
216
00:07:55,518 --> 00:07:57,879
I'm just really happy
Vinny, the strike captain,
217
00:07:57,884 --> 00:07:59,415
is out of jail so he can do this.
218
00:07:59,420 --> 00:08:01,750
It's also gonna count
towards his community service.
219
00:08:01,754 --> 00:08:04,721
Just 100 more hours,
and his record's cleared.
220
00:08:05,625 --> 00:08:06,958
Good morning.
221
00:08:07,156 --> 00:08:08,790
Come on down.
222
00:08:08,802 --> 00:08:10,220
You ready for a good day?
223
00:08:10,225 --> 00:08:11,425
That's what I'm talking about.
224
00:08:11,430 --> 00:08:13,564
Morning, Abbott Elementarians!
225
00:08:13,569 --> 00:08:16,596
It turns out one of our
teachers is just too good!
226
00:08:16,601 --> 00:08:18,401
According to our new reading program,
227
00:08:18,406 --> 00:08:19,966
Mrs. Howard's kindergartners
228
00:08:19,971 --> 00:08:22,238
- are reading at a 4th grade level!
- No.
229
00:08:22,244 --> 00:08:25,411
Mrs. Howard, you are,
once again, that girl.
230
00:08:25,610 --> 00:08:26,942
Barbara?
231
00:08:26,947 --> 00:08:31,345
No. No. No. Okay. Thank you.
232
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:32,936
No. Okay, that's enough.
233
00:08:32,941 --> 00:08:34,981
When I say "Mrs.," you say "Howard."
234
00:08:34,986 --> 00:08:36,283
- Mrs...
- Howard!
235
00:08:36,288 --> 00:08:37,754
- Mrs...
- Howard!
236
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:39,486
- Mrs...
- Howard!
237
00:08:39,491 --> 00:08:41,566
- Mrs...
- Howard!
238
00:08:44,510 --> 00:08:46,139
Hey, Barbara.
239
00:08:46,144 --> 00:08:48,077
I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
240
00:08:48,082 --> 00:08:49,943
You clearly knew what you were doing,
241
00:08:49,948 --> 00:08:51,783
and I arrogantly assumed...
242
00:08:51,788 --> 00:08:53,648
Or hoped, rather...
243
00:08:53,653 --> 00:08:54,749
That you would need my help,
244
00:08:54,753 --> 00:08:56,846
but once again, I need yours.
245
00:08:56,851 --> 00:09:00,187
You are officially
Yoda with better edges.
246
00:09:00,288 --> 00:09:02,255
Okay, which one of you Young Sheldons
247
00:09:02,260 --> 00:09:03,453
is gonna get me to Mars
248
00:09:03,458 --> 00:09:05,091
witcha little smart reading selves?
249
00:09:05,096 --> 00:09:07,392
There's actually no
need for all of this.
250
00:09:07,397 --> 00:09:08,895
I'm just doing my job.
251
00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:09,932
But don't forget, it was your girl
252
00:09:09,936 --> 00:09:11,697
that brought in that dope program.
253
00:09:11,702 --> 00:09:13,503
Oh, my God. Look at me,
not even taking credit
254
00:09:13,508 --> 00:09:16,044
for something I had
so much to do with.
255
00:09:16,049 --> 00:09:19,342
Barbara, you know what?
Since so many of us need help,
256
00:09:19,443 --> 00:09:21,243
what if you put on, like,
a little presentation
257
00:09:21,246 --> 00:09:22,778
for the rest of us?
258
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:24,211
You're thinking too small, Janine.
259
00:09:24,216 --> 00:09:25,846
We should have an assembly and have
260
00:09:25,850 --> 00:09:27,958
one of Barbara's students
read to the whole school.
261
00:09:27,963 --> 00:09:29,750
Show these little illiterate
fools how to literate.
262
00:09:29,754 --> 00:09:32,153
Yes! Not the second part. Yes!
263
00:09:32,158 --> 00:09:33,419
Okay.
264
00:09:33,522 --> 00:09:35,187
We can have Khalil read.
265
00:09:35,192 --> 00:09:36,423
No, not Khalil.
266
00:09:36,427 --> 00:09:38,322
Everybody knows that
little dork can read.
267
00:09:38,326 --> 00:09:40,461
- I was thinking him.
- Whoo-hoo!
268
00:09:42,837 --> 00:09:45,144
5 years old, reading
at a 4th grade level?
269
00:09:45,149 --> 00:09:47,447
You performed a damn
miracle on that boy.
270
00:09:48,786 --> 00:09:50,709
- That was a pretty tough time for me...
- Hey.
271
00:09:50,713 --> 00:09:51,773
He's here. He's on his way in.
272
00:09:51,777 --> 00:09:53,176
Oh. Oh. That's fantastic, Melissa.
273
00:09:53,181 --> 00:09:54,841
Okay, let me, um, set him up for the...
274
00:09:54,846 --> 00:09:56,240
Uh, students.
275
00:09:56,245 --> 00:09:57,780
We are about to hear from
276
00:09:57,786 --> 00:10:01,447
a heroic, upstanding
citizen of this city, okay,
277
00:10:01,452 --> 00:10:03,083
who helped to peacefully end one of...
278
00:10:03,087 --> 00:10:05,322
Kids, meet Vinny Romano.
279
00:10:06,059 --> 00:10:07,826
Call me The Tire Iron.
280
00:10:10,561 --> 00:10:13,259
Uh, hello, Mr. Iron.
281
00:10:13,264 --> 00:10:16,995
Um, is there anything
else we could call you?
282
00:10:17,469 --> 00:10:19,042
Nope.
283
00:10:21,206 --> 00:10:22,871
Okay, come on now. Here we go.
284
00:10:22,876 --> 00:10:25,171
I don't think Will is
ready to read just yet,
285
00:10:25,176 --> 00:10:27,176
but I have read from
this book so many times,
286
00:10:27,181 --> 00:10:29,414
he practically has it memorized.
287
00:10:29,419 --> 00:10:31,486
I'm sure he'll have no problem.
288
00:10:31,682 --> 00:10:34,745
- "Jack... and... Jill..."
- Yes.
289
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:38,484
- "... went up the..."
- The.
290
00:10:38,489 --> 00:10:43,486
Okay, Will, it's your name with an "H."
291
00:10:43,889 --> 00:10:45,423
Hilliam!
292
00:10:45,428 --> 00:10:46,827
No.
293
00:10:46,832 --> 00:10:49,360
Barbara, can I borrow some gold stars?
294
00:10:49,365 --> 00:10:50,663
I gave all mine out this morning.
295
00:10:50,667 --> 00:10:52,726
My kids are amazing.
Uh, I'll even take red.
296
00:10:52,731 --> 00:10:53,731
Oh, sure.
297
00:10:53,736 --> 00:10:55,136
Thank you.
298
00:10:55,142 --> 00:10:58,476
Oh, well, if it isn't Abbott's
brightest little reader.
299
00:10:58,481 --> 00:11:00,938
Are you excited to show
the school your skills?
300
00:11:00,943 --> 00:11:02,076
Yeah?
301
00:11:05,981 --> 00:11:08,135
- Here you go.
- Hmm.
302
00:11:08,817 --> 00:11:10,847
- Is he okay?
- Oh, he's fine.
303
00:11:10,852 --> 00:11:12,385
This child has just gained entry
304
00:11:12,390 --> 00:11:14,418
into the magical world of books,
305
00:11:14,423 --> 00:11:17,985
so please, Janine, allow
him time to celebrate.
306
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:20,191
Okay. Yeah.
307
00:11:20,196 --> 00:11:22,028
Good morning, kids.
308
00:11:23,899 --> 00:11:26,167
Good morning to you all, as well.
309
00:11:28,418 --> 00:11:29,860
Subbing here has been...
310
00:11:29,865 --> 00:11:30,897
fine.
311
00:11:32,075 --> 00:11:33,938
I haven't even gotten past
teaching the kids my name,
312
00:11:33,942 --> 00:11:36,009
let alone that confusing
reading program.
313
00:11:36,044 --> 00:11:38,241
I'm hoping once they learn those things,
314
00:11:38,246 --> 00:11:40,548
then we can just start watching movies.
315
00:11:42,014 --> 00:11:43,779
- Hey, Gregory.
- Hey.
316
00:11:43,784 --> 00:11:44,984
Hi.
317
00:11:44,989 --> 00:11:46,687
Um, how are you settling in?
318
00:11:46,692 --> 00:11:47,850
- It's going well.
- Yeah?
319
00:11:47,855 --> 00:11:49,688
I'm figuring out where everything is,
320
00:11:49,693 --> 00:11:50,725
who everyone is.
321
00:11:50,730 --> 00:11:52,039
Yeah. Well, I'm Janine.
322
00:11:52,044 --> 00:11:54,177
That I know.
323
00:11:55,509 --> 00:11:57,210
Hmm...
324
00:11:59,029 --> 00:12:00,629
Uh, my gosh. How are you doing
325
00:12:00,634 --> 00:12:02,067
with this new reading program?
326
00:12:02,072 --> 00:12:03,567
Oh. I'm not gonna lie.
327
00:12:03,572 --> 00:12:04,735
It's got me even more confused
328
00:12:04,739 --> 00:12:06,035
than I already was teaching here.
329
00:12:06,039 --> 00:12:08,707
I cannot get past a single
lesson without an error message.
330
00:12:08,712 --> 00:12:10,245
It's really annoying.
331
00:12:10,250 --> 00:12:12,274
Why don't we get together
after school...
332
00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:13,513
and we can figure it out?
333
00:12:13,611 --> 00:12:16,311
Um, I would love that.
334
00:12:16,316 --> 00:12:17,515
You kidding me?
335
00:12:17,549 --> 00:12:18,681
Oh, my God, but, shoot. My boyfriend
336
00:12:18,684 --> 00:12:20,721
is picking me up after school today.
337
00:12:21,076 --> 00:12:22,652
You know what?
You can come hang with us.
338
00:12:22,655 --> 00:12:24,288
I mean, we're just going to IKEA.
339
00:12:24,293 --> 00:12:26,206
You can help us pick out a bed.
340
00:12:26,691 --> 00:12:28,591
Oh, okay. Yeah, um...
341
00:12:28,596 --> 00:12:30,394
Oh, God. Um...
342
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:32,465
I actually have somebody
picking me up after school.
343
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:33,528
- She's a girl...
- Oh.
344
00:12:33,533 --> 00:12:34,562
She's a woman, I mean.
345
00:12:34,567 --> 00:12:36,131
Like, it's a car full of women and...
346
00:12:36,136 --> 00:12:37,447
What?
347
00:12:37,903 --> 00:12:39,402
Nothing.
348
00:12:39,970 --> 00:12:43,239
Oh. Okay, well, see you later.
I'll see you around school.
349
00:12:43,244 --> 00:12:44,806
Yeah, yeah. Alright, you, too.
350
00:12:44,811 --> 00:12:45,837
Hey, enjoy the bed.
351
00:12:45,842 --> 00:12:47,743
- Oh, we will.
- Ha!
352
00:12:47,748 --> 00:12:49,566
Uh, I was just kidding.
But see you later!
353
00:12:49,571 --> 00:12:51,336
- Uh-huh.
- Bye.
354
00:12:52,418 --> 00:12:55,754
So hundreds of us come
piling off this bus, right?
355
00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:57,217
And the punk firefighters,
356
00:12:57,222 --> 00:12:59,388
they didn't even show their
pretty little faces, you know?
357
00:12:59,392 --> 00:13:02,493
And the pigs, they were mad
'cause we were throwing rocks.
358
00:13:02,498 --> 00:13:04,359
It's like, hey, just relax.
359
00:13:04,364 --> 00:13:05,594
They're just freakin' rocks, you know?
360
00:13:06,769 --> 00:13:09,496
So, anyway, we tell that...
361
00:13:09,501 --> 00:13:10,634
He's great, right?
362
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:12,240
Why did you bring him here?
363
00:13:12,404 --> 00:13:14,072
Uh, didn't we agree to this?
364
00:13:14,076 --> 00:13:15,775
I thought you were
bringing a police captain.
365
00:13:15,779 --> 00:13:17,778
Someone to talk about how the
union worked together in peace?
366
00:13:17,783 --> 00:13:19,606
That's not the real
story. This is the truth.
367
00:13:19,611 --> 00:13:21,779
He's giving them an
eyewitness account to history.
368
00:13:21,784 --> 00:13:23,750
Eyewitness? I think the
term is "accomplice."
369
00:13:23,755 --> 00:13:26,110
This is the problem I
have with people like you.
370
00:13:26,115 --> 00:13:27,748
You want to romanticize this city,
371
00:13:27,753 --> 00:13:29,249
but you won't acknowledge the truth.
372
00:13:29,254 --> 00:13:30,686
Like, you want to run
up the Rocky steps,
373
00:13:30,690 --> 00:13:32,556
but you can't take a punch in the face.
374
00:13:32,657 --> 00:13:33,822
I can take a punch in the face.
375
00:13:33,826 --> 00:13:35,157
What... What... What are you saying?
376
00:13:35,161 --> 00:13:37,557
I'm some kind of, like, hipster poseur?
377
00:13:37,562 --> 00:13:40,462
Look, I care, okay? I am
here, teaching, every day.
378
00:13:40,467 --> 00:13:42,562
No, I'm saying you can't
teach the kids right
379
00:13:42,567 --> 00:13:44,533
if you don't respect where they're from.
380
00:13:44,538 --> 00:13:46,272
It's about respect.
381
00:13:48,215 --> 00:13:49,967
Me and the rest of the
class are going on strike
382
00:13:49,971 --> 00:13:51,838
until there are no more pop quizzes.
383
00:13:55,246 --> 00:13:56,746
Lights.
384
00:13:58,023 --> 00:14:01,214
We are here to celebrate
Barbara's genius kindergartners.
385
00:14:01,219 --> 00:14:03,652
This is a tremendous
opportunity for this school.
386
00:14:03,717 --> 00:14:06,619
Before we begin, I would
like to detail all the ways
387
00:14:06,624 --> 00:14:08,385
that I personally made this happen.
388
00:14:08,390 --> 00:14:10,144
It all started when I was
watching "Coach Carter"
389
00:14:10,149 --> 00:14:11,312
for the 17th time.
390
00:14:12,028 --> 00:14:14,727
... and Jill came tumbling after.
391
00:14:14,732 --> 00:14:15,932
Perfect!
392
00:14:15,937 --> 00:14:18,236
Now, when we get up on stage,
393
00:14:18,241 --> 00:14:21,744
you're gonna do it just like that, okay?
394
00:14:21,749 --> 00:14:24,037
No. And no dancing.
395
00:14:24,042 --> 00:14:27,308
But that's what I do, Ms. Howard!
396
00:14:27,313 --> 00:14:28,573
Hey, Mrs. Howard.
397
00:14:28,578 --> 00:14:30,011
Hey, after the assembly,
398
00:14:30,017 --> 00:14:31,981
do you think you can come
help me with the program?
399
00:14:31,985 --> 00:14:33,712
My kids are struggling,
400
00:14:33,717 --> 00:14:35,282
and I know I ask you
for help all the time,
401
00:14:35,286 --> 00:14:36,499
but what can I say?
402
00:14:36,504 --> 00:14:37,584
You're the best.
403
00:14:37,587 --> 00:14:38,817
- Janine...
- Sometimes I wonder
404
00:14:38,822 --> 00:14:40,153
if I put you on too high a pedestal,
405
00:14:40,157 --> 00:14:41,677
but then I think it's not high enough.
406
00:14:41,682 --> 00:14:44,322
I say, "Janine, she's
just a person like you..."
407
00:14:44,581 --> 00:14:46,459
You know what? I'm sorry, I'm rambling.
408
00:14:46,463 --> 00:14:47,528
You make...
409
00:14:47,533 --> 00:14:48,899
I'm sorry.
410
00:14:48,904 --> 00:14:51,072
You make me want to be a better teacher.
411
00:14:53,542 --> 00:14:54,951
Okay.
412
00:14:54,956 --> 00:14:57,068
I'm starting to forget the words.
413
00:14:57,073 --> 00:14:58,402
Oh, gotta go!
414
00:14:59,572 --> 00:15:01,836
I've done more for
this school in one year
415
00:15:01,841 --> 00:15:03,441
than he did for the whole movie, so I...
416
00:15:03,446 --> 00:15:05,980
- Okay, thank you.
- Oh, I guess it's time to go.
417
00:15:05,985 --> 00:15:07,818
That kid's a reading fool.
418
00:15:07,981 --> 00:15:09,981
Good afternoon, Abbott.
419
00:15:09,986 --> 00:15:11,312
My student, William,
420
00:15:11,317 --> 00:15:14,451
will be reading "Jack and Jill."
421
00:15:14,456 --> 00:15:16,557
Oh! Change of plans.
422
00:15:16,562 --> 00:15:18,590
My copy of Michelle
Obama's book just came in,
423
00:15:18,595 --> 00:15:21,096
and since Will reads
at a 4th grade level,
424
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:22,162
that shouldn't be a problem.
425
00:15:22,166 --> 00:15:24,428
Oh, no. I really think
that Will would prefer to read...
426
00:15:24,433 --> 00:15:26,264
Don't nobody want to hear about
pails and water and whatnot.
427
00:15:26,269 --> 00:15:28,168
We want to hear what
"Michelle O" got to say.
428
00:15:28,173 --> 00:15:29,371
I hope there's a section in there
429
00:15:29,375 --> 00:15:32,081
about her meet cute with
my man, Barry Hussein.
430
00:15:32,153 --> 00:15:33,952
Alright.
431
00:15:36,278 --> 00:15:40,681
Okay. Here goes.
432
00:15:42,182 --> 00:15:44,253
Okay, that's enough.
433
00:15:45,150 --> 00:15:47,851
Everybody, um, my student, Will,
434
00:15:47,856 --> 00:15:52,222
is a wonderful student and dancer,
435
00:15:52,227 --> 00:15:55,328
but he cannot read this book just yet.
436
00:15:55,334 --> 00:15:58,434
The truth is, I was actually
able to log into the program,
437
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,073
but, um, I was just pushing buttons.
438
00:16:01,078 --> 00:16:02,832
I did not mean to say
439
00:16:02,837 --> 00:16:05,855
that they could read
at a 4th grade level.
440
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,096
I know how to teach
these kids how to read.
441
00:16:09,845 --> 00:16:12,253
I just can't use that program.
442
00:16:14,349 --> 00:16:16,048
So I lied.
443
00:16:18,088 --> 00:16:20,455
I can't believe Barbara lied to me.
444
00:16:21,686 --> 00:16:23,753
Normally, I encourage
cheating, but, girl,
445
00:16:23,758 --> 00:16:25,591
you gots to let me know.
446
00:16:25,596 --> 00:16:27,750
Barbara? Who'd have thought?
447
00:16:28,399 --> 00:16:32,827
Hey, Barbara. Another great
Abbott Elementary assembly.
448
00:16:35,024 --> 00:16:36,236
Um...
449
00:16:37,140 --> 00:16:38,902
Why wouldn't you let me help you?
450
00:16:38,907 --> 00:16:40,840
I was handling it the best way I could.
451
00:16:40,845 --> 00:16:43,011
By lying instead of letting me help you?
452
00:16:43,206 --> 00:16:44,907
That is not what this is about.
453
00:16:44,912 --> 00:16:46,994
Then what is it about?
Because I don't get it.
454
00:16:49,850 --> 00:16:54,125
I am good at this job, and
I know how to do it well,
455
00:16:54,129 --> 00:16:57,253
but admitting that I couldn't
figure this program out,
456
00:16:57,258 --> 00:17:00,758
it was like I was saying,
"I am getting too old."
457
00:17:00,763 --> 00:17:03,163
And you don't know
what that feels like...
458
00:17:03,309 --> 00:17:06,662
All these new people and this new tech.
459
00:17:06,834 --> 00:17:08,193
It just made me feel like
460
00:17:08,199 --> 00:17:09,965
I was being pushed out to sea.
461
00:17:12,035 --> 00:17:13,969
Okay, well, if you're being pushed out,
462
00:17:13,973 --> 00:17:17,776
then I'm being pushed out,
too, because it's hard for me.
463
00:17:17,907 --> 00:17:20,275
It's hard for all of us, even the kids,
464
00:17:20,279 --> 00:17:22,374
and they come out of
the womb selling NFTs.
465
00:17:22,378 --> 00:17:25,227
See? I don't even know what that is.
466
00:17:25,682 --> 00:17:27,749
So I guess I'm just an oldface.
467
00:17:27,753 --> 00:17:29,819
- Oldhead.
- And that, too.
468
00:17:30,587 --> 00:17:32,453
I don't know what NFT means, either.
469
00:17:32,925 --> 00:17:34,392
Hm.
470
00:17:36,269 --> 00:17:41,205
What if we figured out
this stuff together?
471
00:17:43,201 --> 00:17:45,001
I'd like that.
472
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,320
Okay.
473
00:17:50,648 --> 00:17:52,569
Are we having a moment right now?
474
00:17:53,278 --> 00:17:55,546
Are those jelly beans on your belt?
475
00:17:58,714 --> 00:18:00,914
I wanted to teach
Barbara something so bad
476
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,953
that I never considered what
she might be going through.
477
00:18:05,054 --> 00:18:07,186
But we did have a little
bonding moment back there.
478
00:18:07,192 --> 00:18:09,125
I ruined it, but it happened.
479
00:18:09,130 --> 00:18:10,396
You got that, right?
480
00:18:12,277 --> 00:18:13,442
Hey.
481
00:18:13,695 --> 00:18:16,262
I brought you some lasagna
as a peace offering.
482
00:18:16,268 --> 00:18:17,795
You know, I don't just eat Italian,
483
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:19,266
or am I a stereotype to you?
484
00:18:19,270 --> 00:18:21,510
Oh, my God, no. Of course
not. I'll... I'll throw it out.
485
00:18:21,516 --> 00:18:23,549
Hey, hey. What am I,
an idiot? Give it to me.
486
00:18:26,492 --> 00:18:28,792
- Oh!
- Um.
487
00:18:28,808 --> 00:18:30,875
Melissa, I...
488
00:18:30,881 --> 00:18:34,881
I made some dumb assumptions
about you, about South Philly.
489
00:18:34,885 --> 00:18:38,119
I was condescending.
Basically, I was a jerk.
490
00:18:38,125 --> 00:18:40,720
I wish my ex-husband
could ever admit that much.
491
00:18:40,724 --> 00:18:42,692
Well, I'm really sorry.
492
00:18:42,697 --> 00:18:44,990
Listen, you're trying
to sanitize this place
493
00:18:44,996 --> 00:18:46,292
and its history... It doesn't need it.
494
00:18:46,297 --> 00:18:49,230
This is who we are, the
good, the bad, and the ugly.
495
00:18:49,365 --> 00:18:51,498
Tire Iron, of course,
representing the ugly.
496
00:18:51,502 --> 00:18:54,036
Well, I wouldn't say
that... to his face.
497
00:18:54,234 --> 00:18:56,736
Hey, I know you mean well, hon.
498
00:18:56,740 --> 00:18:58,406
You want the best for your kids.
499
00:18:58,509 --> 00:19:01,210
Just next time, have a
more open mind, that's all.
500
00:19:01,311 --> 00:19:03,741
I will. And... And thank you.
501
00:19:03,747 --> 00:19:05,711
My students got a lot out
of what Vinny had to say.
502
00:19:05,715 --> 00:19:07,679
- Oh, good.
- They collectively bargained,
503
00:19:07,683 --> 00:19:09,144
and they all have pensions now.
504
00:19:10,426 --> 00:19:12,026
Solid.
505
00:19:14,525 --> 00:19:16,357
- But...
- There you go!
506
00:19:16,363 --> 00:19:17,788
- Yes!
- Yes!
507
00:19:17,794 --> 00:19:20,961
It can be daunting when
a new technology is introduced
508
00:19:20,967 --> 00:19:23,295
and it's changing the way you do things,
509
00:19:23,299 --> 00:19:25,166
but this is the future.
510
00:19:25,172 --> 00:19:27,491
- I got in.
- I've mastered it.
511
00:19:27,497 --> 00:19:28,828
Girrrrllls...
512
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:30,300
And Young Idris.
513
00:19:30,604 --> 00:19:32,603
Turns out the software we've been using
514
00:19:32,607 --> 00:19:34,842
was invented by
the Pennsylvania Penal System
515
00:19:34,846 --> 00:19:36,747
to collect data for prisons.
516
00:19:37,009 --> 00:19:38,009
Prisons?
517
00:19:38,013 --> 00:19:39,313
Something about the correlation
518
00:19:39,317 --> 00:19:40,810
between lower reading levels
519
00:19:40,816 --> 00:19:42,515
and the amount of prison beds
they're supposed to build?
520
00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:43,611
Oh, my God.
521
00:19:43,615 --> 00:19:45,016
Apparently, it's illegal.
522
00:19:45,020 --> 00:19:48,923
I am just as disgusted as you all are.
523
00:19:49,025 --> 00:19:50,577
Disgraceful.
524
00:19:51,450 --> 00:19:52,890
You're gonna sell those, aren't you?
525
00:19:52,894 --> 00:19:55,172
And what would you rather I do, Melissa?
526
00:19:57,117 --> 00:20:00,198
That's a shame.
I really liked that feature
527
00:20:00,202 --> 00:20:04,073
where I could teach a whole
class on just one letter.
528
00:20:04,507 --> 00:20:05,872
You know what?
529
00:20:05,980 --> 00:20:08,471
I think I might know
something we can use instead.
530
00:20:09,411 --> 00:20:10,907
- It's pretty simple. And then...
- Very.
531
00:20:10,912 --> 00:20:11,916
The fun thing about this is...
532
00:20:11,921 --> 00:20:15,511
"At 54, I'm still in progress,
533
00:20:15,517 --> 00:20:18,682
and I hope I always will be."
534
00:20:19,071 --> 00:20:20,637
- Did he just...
- Oh, my God.
535
00:20:20,643 --> 00:20:21,955
You... You just read! You just read!
536
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,386
He just read!
537
00:20:23,392 --> 00:20:25,244
You're a baby genius!
538
00:20:25,250 --> 00:20:26,319
Wow.
539
00:20:26,325 --> 00:20:27,891
Ooh, yes!
540
00:20:27,895 --> 00:20:29,496
Oh, my goodness!
541
00:20:30,798 --> 00:20:32,509
Yes, yes!
542
00:20:33,338 --> 00:20:35,598
"Failure is a feeling
543
00:20:35,604 --> 00:20:40,481
long before it becomes
an actual result."
544
00:20:40,487 --> 00:20:41,811
Mm. I know that's right.
545
00:20:41,817 --> 00:20:43,121
Can I have a break?
546
00:20:43,125 --> 00:20:45,401
No, keep reading.
It's just getting good.
547
00:20:46,459 --> 00:20:48,559
Mnh-mnh-mnh.
548
00:20:48,565 --> 00:20:51,160
Absolutely not. Let's go.
549
00:20:51,244 --> 00:20:52,769
Come on, Barbara.
550
00:20:54,616 --> 00:20:56,817
You owe me an Audible membership.
551
