1
00:00:00,984 --> 00:00:02,978
Gooooood morning,
Mrs. Howard.
2
00:00:03,078 --> 00:00:04,687
I mean "Good morning."
I know you told me
3
00:00:04,772 --> 00:00:07,210
not to elongate my vowels
before we're in school.
4
00:00:07,373 --> 00:00:09,453
- Good morning, Janine.
- Good morning.
5
00:00:09,728 --> 00:00:11,249
- So ‐‐
- Ms. Howard?
6
00:00:11,671 --> 00:00:13,176
Yes?
Ms. Howard!
7
00:00:13,260 --> 00:00:15,851
It is you! Yo!
8
00:00:15,970 --> 00:00:18,176
I would have thought
you would have retired by now!
9
00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:20,265
Yo, I just dropped off
my nephew and ‐‐
10
00:00:20,350 --> 00:00:22,226
Yo, you was always
my favorite teacher,
11
00:00:22,310 --> 00:00:23,750
and I never got a chance
to thank you
12
00:00:23,835 --> 00:00:25,752
for everything you did for me
back in kindergarten.
13
00:00:25,836 --> 00:00:28,792
Aw, sweetheart, you don't have
to thank me for that.
14
00:00:28,877 --> 00:00:30,053
You did this.
15
00:00:30,138 --> 00:00:31,804
Of course
I need to thank you.
16
00:00:31,889 --> 00:00:34,056
Before I was in your class,
everyone would have been like,
17
00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:36,806
"Oh, he's gon' be the one
that needs to be secured."
18
00:00:36,897 --> 00:00:39,773
But thanks to you,
I'm out here securing.
19
00:00:39,858 --> 00:00:43,867
Well, I am very proud of you.
20
00:00:44,288 --> 00:00:46,102
By the way,
how is your mother?
21
00:00:46,187 --> 00:00:47,206
Well, that's complicated,
22
00:00:47,290 --> 00:00:49,206
but it's gon' mean so much
to my moms
23
00:00:49,290 --> 00:00:50,836
that Ms. Howard
asked after her.
24
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,336
Well, sweetheart,
it was so good to see you,
25
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:55,386
and have a great
rest of your day.
26
00:00:55,470 --> 00:00:56,506
You, too, Ms. Howard.
Alright.
27
00:00:56,590 --> 00:00:57,716
You, too.
Bye.
28
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,550
Bye.
29
00:01:00,622 --> 00:01:03,248
See, Mrs. Howard?
That is why we do this.
30
00:01:03,347 --> 00:01:04,803
Mold those young minds.
31
00:01:04,888 --> 00:01:07,421
Just create new lives,
make those connections.
32
00:01:07,506 --> 00:01:08,842
That ‐‐
Sweetheart, I have no idea
33
00:01:08,927 --> 00:01:10,713
who that young man was.
34
00:01:10,798 --> 00:01:12,264
Morning.
35
00:01:12,437 --> 00:01:14,445
Maker's "Hold'em" playing...

Well, it looks like a classic
Schemmenti good mood day.
40
00:01:32,210 --> 00:01:34,426
You know it!
I got my favorite parking spot,
41
00:01:34,510 --> 00:01:36,426
my macchiato is on point,
42
00:01:36,510 --> 00:01:38,136
and my neighbor finally
found her cat,
43
00:01:38,220 --> 00:01:40,596
so no more hearing her cry
through the walls.
44
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,726
Jacob, are you ready?
45
00:01:42,810 --> 00:01:44,726
I am not just ready,
46
00:01:44,810 --> 00:01:46,686
- I am set and go.
- Yes.
47
00:01:46,770 --> 00:01:48,646
Ready for what?
What's going on?
48
00:01:48,730 --> 00:01:50,356
We have this little tradition
where we read
49
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,186
our Grades for Teachers
reviews out loud
50
00:01:52,270 --> 00:01:53,776
when a new one comes in.
51
00:01:53,860 --> 00:01:55,986
Mine are always just
incredibly flattering.
52
00:01:56,070 --> 00:01:57,316
There's a Yelp
for teachers?
53
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,326
Yeah. Do you want me
to help you set up a page?
54
00:01:59,410 --> 00:02:00,826
Because as it says here,
55
00:02:00,910 --> 00:02:03,996
I am excellent at explaining
complicated ideas.
56
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,626
Oh, no, thanks.
That just sounds bad.
57
00:02:06,710 --> 00:02:07,916
Hmm.
58
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,286
Oh... Oh, dang.
Found a new one.
59
00:02:09,370 --> 00:02:10,920
- Okay, okay.
- Mm‐hmm.
60
00:02:13,246 --> 00:02:14,163
What's wrong?
61
00:02:14,248 --> 00:02:15,755
Uh, it's... it's nothing.
62
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,466
I just got
a C‐minus review,
63
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:20,966
which will bring down
my overall average
64
00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:23,596
and
tarnish my reputation forever,
65
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,636
you know? It's like...
It's no big deal, though.
66
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,476
Well, if traditions
were always easy,
67
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,686
everyone would have them.
68
00:02:28,770 --> 00:02:30,516
Everyone does.
69
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,476
"Nice but lacks experience
70
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,236
compared to the other
second grade teacher at Abbott."
71
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,196
Hey, that's me. The other
second grade teacher at Abbott.
72
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,986
This isn't that bad.
73
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:41,486
One of my reviews was so rude,
74
00:02:41,570 --> 00:02:43,366
the superintendent had to
come check on me at home.
75
00:02:43,450 --> 00:02:45,826
Yeah, well, that's you, though.
I don't get bad reviews.
76
00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:47,326
You just did.
77
00:02:47,410 --> 00:02:48,826
Girl, please, stop.
78
00:02:48,910 --> 00:02:50,496
You're gonna make me
spit my coffee out.
79
00:02:50,580 --> 00:02:53,166
Okay, look, ignore this. Reviews
on a poorly designed website
80
00:02:53,250 --> 00:02:54,836
do not determine
what kind of teacher you are.
81
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:56,716
Yeah, no.
No, I just can't believe
82
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,636
the entire world can read
that I'm a bad teacher.
83
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,846
Hey, kid, listen.
There's nothing wrong
84
00:03:01,930 --> 00:03:03,556
with having some room
for improvement.
85
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:05,306
Just take it from me,
86
00:03:05,390 --> 00:03:07,846
the other, better, more
experienced teacher at Abbott.
87
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,566
Melissa plays a lot.
She jokes.
88
00:03:13,650 --> 00:03:15,276
You know? She's good at it.
89
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,066
Just another thing
she's better at than me,
90
00:03:18,150 --> 00:03:20,066
according to the reviews.
91
00:03:20,616 --> 00:03:23,326
She's a regular Lucille Ball.
92
00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:27,366
Oh, hey, man. Can you tell me
where I can find the mailboxes?
93
00:03:27,450 --> 00:03:29,076
Oh, I'll show you.
No, you can just tell me.
94
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,076
No, no, it's good. It's fine.
We can walk together.
95
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,666
Oh, speaking of mail,
can we talk USPS?
96
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:35,706
Have you heard of
informed delivery?
97
00:03:35,790 --> 00:03:38,216
What up, ol' curly head
Arthur from PBS looking boy?
98
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:40,546
And good
morning to you, Raheem.
99
00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:42,216
You let them talk to you
like that?
100
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:44,596
Well, correct me if I'm wrong,
but the boys and I are bonding
101
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,394
in the tradition
of playing the dozens.
102
00:03:46,487 --> 00:03:47,496
It's also called roasting.
103
00:03:47,580 --> 00:03:49,666
Also called, uh,
blazing, frying.
104
00:03:49,751 --> 00:03:51,652
Hmm. Lot of cooking
terminology.
105
00:03:51,746 --> 00:03:53,202
Look, man.
I'm from Baltimore, okay?
106
00:03:53,286 --> 00:03:54,662
All I know is when
somebody roasts you,
107
00:03:54,746 --> 00:03:56,162
you got to
roast them back.
108
00:03:56,246 --> 00:03:57,672
Our teachers
used to roast us.
109
00:03:57,756 --> 00:03:59,200
If they didn't,
we wouldn't have respected them.
110
00:03:59,284 --> 00:04:00,321
You're just getting clowned.
111
00:04:00,405 --> 00:04:02,128
Of course I'm being clowned,
okay?
112
00:04:02,465 --> 00:04:04,681
I don't know how to roast.
It's not that hard.
113
00:04:04,765 --> 00:04:07,449
You just kind of have to take
what people give you, like...
114
00:04:07,536 --> 00:04:10,072
You ol' mothball‐
sweater‐vest‐looking boy.
115
00:04:10,157 --> 00:04:12,243
Hmm.
Simple yet cutting.
116
00:04:12,328 --> 00:04:14,097
- Mm‐hmm.
- Okay. Thank you.
117
00:04:14,182 --> 00:04:16,268
I thought you had to bring
way more to the table.
118
00:04:16,353 --> 00:04:17,810
In the Dean Martin
celebrity roasts...
119
00:04:17,894 --> 00:04:19,650
Where are
the mailboxes?
120
00:04:19,735 --> 00:04:22,231
Oh. Yeah. Come on.
121
00:04:22,316 --> 00:04:23,772
Alright, attendance time.
122
00:04:23,857 --> 00:04:26,988
So raise your hand
if you're not here.
123
00:04:28,784 --> 00:04:30,950
Alright, so
Nicole's not here.
124
00:04:32,206 --> 00:04:34,042
Janine, come to my office.
125
00:04:34,127 --> 00:04:35,753
- Ooh!
- Ooh!
126
00:04:35,932 --> 00:04:37,848
Alright, everybody,
uh, settle down.
127
00:04:37,933 --> 00:04:41,042
Okay, everyone's who's not here,
please be good, alright?
128
00:04:41,127 --> 00:04:42,478
I'll be right back.
129
00:04:42,587 --> 00:04:44,917
- Mm‐hmm.
- She'll be right back.
130
00:04:45,286 --> 00:04:47,912
Can she see me?
131
00:04:50,012 --> 00:04:51,199
Hey, girl.
132
00:04:51,284 --> 00:04:52,530
Hey, Ava.
133
00:04:52,668 --> 00:04:54,175
You know I can't just
leave my classroom
134
00:04:54,259 --> 00:04:56,137
- unattended like this, right?
- It's five minutes.
135
00:04:56,221 --> 00:04:57,871
It's not like something could
go wrong in five minutes.
136
00:04:57,955 --> 00:05:00,211
A lot
can go wrong, actually.
137
00:05:00,296 --> 00:05:02,502
If you say so. Anyway,
one of Melissa's students
138
00:05:02,587 --> 00:05:04,066
will be transferring
into your class.
139
00:05:04,151 --> 00:05:05,824
Really? Why?
140
00:05:05,909 --> 00:05:07,496
Girl, I don't know.
Things happen all day.
141
00:05:07,580 --> 00:05:09,363
Maybe she wants to be closer
to the bathroom.
142
00:05:09,448 --> 00:05:10,722
Maybe she like you more.
143
00:05:10,882 --> 00:05:12,824
Maybe she got some kind
of Meek Mill‐Drake feud
144
00:05:12,909 --> 00:05:14,496
going on with one of her
classmates. I don't know.
145
00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:15,972
Maybe she likes me better.
146
00:05:16,057 --> 00:05:17,724
If you really want to know,
you should read her file.
147
00:05:17,808 --> 00:05:19,331
I have them arranged
by sexiest dad.
148
00:05:19,416 --> 00:05:22,172
Her name is Courtney Pierce,
and her daddy is "foine."
149
00:05:22,257 --> 00:05:23,941
No, that's okay.
150
00:05:24,026 --> 00:05:25,502
I don't really
like to read the file.
151
00:05:25,587 --> 00:05:26,964
I like to
get to know the child
152
00:05:27,049 --> 00:05:28,543
so I don't have
any preconceived notions.
153
00:05:28,627 --> 00:05:31,363
That's an adorable spin
on choosing to be unprepared.
154
00:05:31,448 --> 00:05:33,154
I wonder
how Melissa's doing.
155
00:05:33,239 --> 00:05:35,325
Hope she's not taking this
too hard.
156
00:05:35,410 --> 00:05:36,996
Find out right now.
157
00:05:37,081 --> 00:05:39,355
Melissa, Janine is on her way.
158
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,669
You do know that that's
coming out of all the speakers,
159
00:05:41,754 --> 00:05:43,591
not just a specific
classroom, right?
160
00:05:43,676 --> 00:05:44,976
I said you're on your way.
161
00:05:46,646 --> 00:05:49,209
Looking like Ron Weasley
162
00:05:49,301 --> 00:05:50,731
if he was a pick‐up artist.
163
00:05:51,638 --> 00:05:54,111
This man look like
he dream in podcasts.
164
00:05:56,318 --> 00:05:58,452
Well, look at you,
165
00:05:58,747 --> 00:06:00,811
ol' blue shirt,
166
00:06:00,896 --> 00:06:03,154
tan pants wearing guy.
167
00:06:04,996 --> 00:06:07,334
With your
bright white shoes
168
00:06:07,419 --> 00:06:10,233
and the laces all tied up
into a little bow?
169
00:06:10,318 --> 00:06:14,013
Yeah. No way those
are accidentally falling off.
170
00:06:15,086 --> 00:06:16,922
Mr. Vampire Weekend,
171
00:06:17,107 --> 00:06:19,136
that really
hurt my feelings.
172
00:06:22,766 --> 00:06:24,787
Raheem, I am...
I am so sorry.
173
00:06:24,872 --> 00:06:26,138
You should be.
174
00:06:26,223 --> 00:06:27,731
With that
Twilight‐shaped mouth!
175
00:06:27,816 --> 00:06:29,852
Got him!
176
00:06:29,936 --> 00:06:32,795
That's what we're all wearing.
It's a uniform.
177
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,572
You ain't even
observant, dawg.
178
00:06:35,656 --> 00:06:38,139
They say the first year
of teaching is the hardest.
179
00:06:38,224 --> 00:06:39,952
But...
180
00:06:40,138 --> 00:06:42,412
What about the second year?
181
00:06:42,496 --> 00:06:44,326
Minus $1 equals...
182
00:06:44,411 --> 00:06:45,709
Hey, Melissa. Hey.
What?
183
00:06:45,794 --> 00:06:48,502
Uh, sorry. I know you talked
to Ava, so this is awkward.
184
00:06:48,587 --> 00:06:50,292
Why would it be awkward?
185
00:06:50,376 --> 00:06:53,712
Oh, just the whole your student
preferring me thing.
186
00:06:53,796 --> 00:06:55,896
Oh, yeah, no.
Not awkward at all. Just,
187
00:06:55,981 --> 00:06:57,938
there's a couple things that you
should know about Courtney
188
00:06:58,022 --> 00:06:59,772
before you take her into your
class. I know you're more experienced
189
00:06:59,856 --> 00:07:00,833
than I am,
190
00:07:00,918 --> 00:07:02,964
but this transfer
kind of proves
191
00:07:03,049 --> 00:07:04,835
I've got something special
in my classroom
192
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,880
that's got the kids
a‐talkin'.
193
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,606
Courtney,
come over here, hon.
194
00:07:11,910 --> 00:07:13,616
It's time for you
to go with
195
00:07:13,723 --> 00:07:16,490
your very confident new teacher,
Ms. Teagues.
196
00:07:16,575 --> 00:07:18,966
Why don't you go get your stuff?
197
00:07:19,051 --> 00:07:20,677
I'm like the Allen Iverson
of teachers,
198
00:07:20,762 --> 00:07:22,841
and you're like that guy
he stepped over once.
199
00:07:22,926 --> 00:07:25,208
You mean three‐time
NBA champion Tyronn Lue?
200
00:07:25,364 --> 00:07:26,880
That guy?
Yes, you know basketball,
201
00:07:26,996 --> 00:07:28,615
but my point is,
202
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:30,616
maybe I'm not
a bad teacher.
203
00:07:30,701 --> 00:07:32,747
Maybe you are.
204
00:07:32,891 --> 00:07:34,075
Okay.
205
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,746
Courtney,
206
00:07:36,112 --> 00:07:39,028
I want you to go
and be your wonderful self
207
00:07:39,113 --> 00:07:41,536
with Ms. Teagues, okay?
I have no doubt
208
00:07:41,621 --> 00:07:44,349
that you're gonna have
a great time in her class.
209
00:07:44,434 --> 00:07:45,724
Alright.
210
00:07:46,110 --> 00:07:47,870
Have fun.
211
00:07:49,682 --> 00:07:51,236
Alright.
212
00:07:51,768 --> 00:07:55,064
Oh, look at you all,
being so well‐behaved.
213
00:07:55,148 --> 00:07:57,474
Setting a great example
for our new student.
214
00:07:57,558 --> 00:07:58,734
Hi, I'm Janine.
215
00:07:58,818 --> 00:08:00,524
- Hi, Janine.
- Hi, Janine.
216
00:08:00,608 --> 00:08:02,854
Uh, no. She's not Janine.
Her name is...
217
00:08:02,938 --> 00:08:04,364
My name is
Janine Teagues.
218
00:08:04,448 --> 00:08:06,234
- Hi, Janine Teagues!
- Hi, Janine Teagues!
219
00:08:06,318 --> 00:08:07,824
It's not Janine.
220
00:08:07,908 --> 00:08:09,510
Yes, it is.
221
00:08:09,595 --> 00:08:11,051
Courtney?
222
00:08:11,449 --> 00:08:13,665
One of the toughest students
I've ever had.
223
00:08:13,835 --> 00:08:15,625
She's gonna eat Janine alive.
224
00:08:16,706 --> 00:08:19,354
Okay, everyone, please stand
for the Pledge of Allegiance.
225
00:08:19,439 --> 00:08:22,111
Except for Andrew,
who is taking a principled stand
226
00:08:22,196 --> 00:08:24,032
against nationalism.
Yes.
227
00:08:24,116 --> 00:08:27,604
Alright. Everyone else?
I...
228
00:08:27,786 --> 00:08:30,565
I pledge allegiance to the flag
229
00:08:30,650 --> 00:08:33,347
of the United States
of Courtney.
230
00:08:33,432 --> 00:08:37,252
And to the Courtney
for which it stands,
231
00:08:37,369 --> 00:08:41,782
one nation under Courtney,
indivisible,
232
00:08:41,867 --> 00:08:45,869
with Courtney
and Courtney for all.
233
00:08:47,541 --> 00:08:50,127
That's right!
Nice job.
234
00:08:50,299 --> 00:08:52,339
That's right.
Nice job.
235
00:08:52,424 --> 00:08:54,058
Courtney, go back
to your seat.
236
00:08:54,143 --> 00:08:55,611
But I'm done
with all my work.
237
00:08:55,696 --> 00:08:56,826
Go.
238
00:08:59,357 --> 00:09:02,073
Your next word is "smooth."
Go, go, go.
239
00:09:06,076 --> 00:09:07,385
Done!
240
00:09:08,866 --> 00:09:11,282
"Rebble"?
It's "ra‐bell."
241
00:09:14,666 --> 00:09:16,042
Courtney?
242
00:09:16,126 --> 00:09:18,162
Courtney, please stop.
243
00:09:18,246 --> 00:09:21,002
Courtney. Just...
244
00:09:21,086 --> 00:09:22,882
Hey. Hi.
Can I help you?
245
00:09:22,966 --> 00:09:25,722
Yeah, I just stopped by
to see how Courtney's doing.
246
00:09:25,807 --> 00:09:28,172
Oh, yeah,
Courtney is thriving.
247
00:09:28,256 --> 00:09:30,105
Whole class is, actually.
248
00:09:30,190 --> 00:09:32,870
She was the missing piece to
our little puzzle of learning.
249
00:09:32,955 --> 00:09:34,573
Oh.
That's great to hear.
250
00:09:34,658 --> 00:09:36,480
I'm surprised you're not
having any problems.
251
00:09:36,565 --> 00:09:38,143
Took me a couple of months
to figure out
252
00:09:38,236 --> 00:09:39,793
how to keep her
from disrupting the class.
253
00:09:39,877 --> 00:09:41,565
Look at you doing it
in a couple of hours.
254
00:09:41,650 --> 00:09:43,168
I guess you really are
255
00:09:43,252 --> 00:09:44,946
the superior teacher.
256
00:09:51,246 --> 00:09:53,246
I'm teaching a lesson
on gravity.
257
00:09:54,385 --> 00:09:55,900
Here's a little secret...
258
00:09:55,985 --> 00:09:57,886
Courtney didn't get transferred
out of my class
259
00:09:57,971 --> 00:09:59,394
'cause I couldn't handle her.
260
00:09:59,479 --> 00:10:00,933
She got her parents
to transfer her
261
00:10:01,018 --> 00:10:04,172
because I'd already caught on
to all her little tricks.
262
00:10:04,299 --> 00:10:05,752
Most of them.
263
00:10:06,048 --> 00:10:08,389
Nobody could have seen
that macaroni thing coming.
264
00:10:08,565 --> 00:10:10,486
So I said,
"I'm not giving you a ride.
265
00:10:10,596 --> 00:10:12,597
I'm 'bout to drop you off
at the airport of life."
266
00:10:12,682 --> 00:10:14,722
Oh, I know that's right.
267
00:10:14,806 --> 00:10:16,262
Hey, ladies.
Sorry to interrupt.
268
00:10:16,346 --> 00:10:17,682
Uh, you mentioned earlier
269
00:10:17,766 --> 00:10:19,151
that there was a file
on Courtney Pierce?
270
00:10:19,235 --> 00:10:21,651
Yeah. Thicker than a Snicker.
Heavy like a Chevy.
271
00:10:21,736 --> 00:10:22,893
Ooh.
Okay.
272
00:10:22,978 --> 00:10:24,734
Are you having issues
with Courtney?
273
00:10:24,819 --> 00:10:26,135
Ah, I wouldn't say...
274
00:10:26,220 --> 00:10:27,447
She need help.
275
00:10:27,532 --> 00:10:29,463
Look at her.
With that "I need help" face.
276
00:10:29,548 --> 00:10:31,714
Okay, this is not
an "I need help" face.
277
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:33,838
It is an "I have it
under control" face
278
00:10:33,923 --> 00:10:35,999
and arm and leg and...
279
00:10:36,084 --> 00:10:38,893
And that is good,
because I cannot help you.
280
00:10:38,978 --> 00:10:42,064
You see, Ava and I
have placed a modest wager
281
00:10:42,149 --> 00:10:44,596
on your success with
the whole Courtney situation,
282
00:10:44,747 --> 00:10:46,413
and I will not
affect the outcome.
283
00:10:46,498 --> 00:10:48,385
Wait, hold on.
You bet on me?
284
00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:49,744
Well, yeah.
285
00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:51,576
You guys are using
my performance as a teacher
286
00:10:51,660 --> 00:10:53,025
for entertainment?
287
00:10:53,254 --> 00:10:55,065
Mm‐hmm.
Okay, that's it.
288
00:10:55,150 --> 00:10:56,986
You know what?
I'm taking everybody's money.
289
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:00,815
Janine, you do know
290
00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:03,197
that that is not
how bets work, right?
291
00:11:04,487 --> 00:11:07,073
Ava, I'm gonna need
to see that file.
292
00:11:07,157 --> 00:11:09,413
Okay. You don't have to say it
all determined.
293
00:11:09,497 --> 00:11:11,073
Nobody's stopping you
from seeing the file.
294
00:11:11,157 --> 00:11:12,104
I offered it
to you yesterday.
295
00:11:12,189 --> 00:11:14,385
Just go in the office
and look.
296
00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:15,426
Okay.
297
00:11:20,023 --> 00:11:21,269
Hey, how's it going?
298
00:11:21,385 --> 00:11:22,975
It's... Yeah.
299
00:11:38,381 --> 00:11:40,637
"Psychological warfare?"
300
00:11:40,995 --> 00:11:43,701
"Could make a good
cult leader someday.
301
00:11:43,786 --> 00:11:45,412
Melissa Schemmenti."
302
00:11:45,497 --> 00:11:49,423
Well, I found Courtney's file,
and it is substantial.
303
00:11:49,508 --> 00:11:52,044
Cannot believe Melissa
didn't tell me any of this.
304
00:11:52,129 --> 00:11:54,925
But now that I'm informed,
I can handle it.
305
00:11:55,010 --> 00:11:57,023
I'm just gonna have to
communicate to Courtney
306
00:11:57,108 --> 00:11:59,423
that this behavior isn't okay.
307
00:11:59,649 --> 00:12:02,735
I bet no one's ever really tried
to talk to her, you know?
308
00:12:03,022 --> 00:12:04,562
Meet her where she's at.
309
00:12:09,001 --> 00:12:10,986
Juice?
310
00:12:11,604 --> 00:12:13,979
Apple juice? Really?
311
00:12:14,711 --> 00:12:16,967
Okay. Um...
312
00:12:17,536 --> 00:12:20,455
Courtney, did you know
the emotional center
313
00:12:20,599 --> 00:12:23,515
isn't actually in the heart
but in the brain?
314
00:12:23,700 --> 00:12:25,246
Pass.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
315
00:12:25,340 --> 00:12:27,239
Okay. Sit down.
Hold on. Alright.
316
00:12:28,093 --> 00:12:29,903
You're a leader, Courtney.
317
00:12:29,988 --> 00:12:31,314
And maybe that's something
318
00:12:31,399 --> 00:12:33,325
your other teachers
didn't see about you,
319
00:12:33,410 --> 00:12:35,156
but I do.
320
00:12:35,241 --> 00:12:38,832
I know that when you tie your
classmates' shoelaces together
321
00:12:38,917 --> 00:12:40,278
and tell them to dance,
322
00:12:40,363 --> 00:12:42,409
you're just looking
for affirmation.
323
00:12:42,494 --> 00:12:45,684
And, Courtney,
I will affirm you.
324
00:12:45,769 --> 00:12:48,365
We will sit down together,
maybe do a puzzle...
325
00:12:48,450 --> 00:12:51,004
I bet you love puzzles
as much as I do...
326
00:12:51,089 --> 00:12:55,215
and just work through
some of those feelings together.
327
00:12:55,822 --> 00:12:57,238
Okay.
328
00:12:57,323 --> 00:12:58,823
Okay.
329
00:13:07,578 --> 00:13:10,106
I mean...
330
00:13:13,255 --> 00:13:15,726
So I reached out to her,
you know? Sat her down.
331
00:13:15,811 --> 00:13:17,067
Because
at the end of the day,
332
00:13:17,152 --> 00:13:18,569
teaching is just about
communicating,
333
00:13:18,653 --> 00:13:20,399
and that's something
I live by.
334
00:13:20,484 --> 00:13:21,513
I don't want to compare,
but, like...
335
00:13:21,597 --> 00:13:22,859
Barbara,
336
00:13:22,955 --> 00:13:25,798
have you ever been roasted
by your students?
337
00:13:25,891 --> 00:13:27,347
One, they're 5.
338
00:13:27,432 --> 00:13:29,478
Two, they respect me.
339
00:13:29,563 --> 00:13:32,127
Three, what would
they even say?
340
00:13:32,212 --> 00:13:33,892
Mm.
341
00:13:34,348 --> 00:13:37,173
Hey, I need to talk.
Like to a friend.
342
00:13:38,343 --> 00:13:40,430
You know how sometimes when
you're being chased by a dog
343
00:13:40,514 --> 00:13:41,761
and you can't tell
if it's playing
344
00:13:41,845 --> 00:13:43,851
- or if it's trying to bite you?
- No.
345
00:13:43,936 --> 00:13:46,085
But at the same time,
you don't want to stop running,
346
00:13:46,170 --> 00:13:48,452
because if it isn't playing,
you're gonna get bit?
347
00:13:48,537 --> 00:13:50,323
Look, I tried
roasting my students back,
348
00:13:50,408 --> 00:13:51,530
and it didn't work.
349
00:13:51,615 --> 00:13:54,460
It got way worse
and oddly specific.
350
00:13:54,545 --> 00:13:55,995
Come on. It couldn't
have been that bad.
351
00:13:56,079 --> 00:13:58,772
They called me "HuffPo‐reading
gay Pete Buttigieg,"
352
00:13:58,967 --> 00:14:01,437
which is repetitive
and insulting.
353
00:14:01,522 --> 00:14:03,069
As if I would read a word
of Huffington Post
354
00:14:03,153 --> 00:14:04,280
after Arianna stepped down.
355
00:14:04,359 --> 00:14:05,773
You may just have to
take the I on this one, man.
356
00:14:05,857 --> 00:14:07,774
I mean, you can't really
beat them at their own game.
357
00:14:07,858 --> 00:14:09,757
It's like them
challenging you to...
358
00:14:10,663 --> 00:14:12,694
Dungeons & Dragons.
359
00:14:13,088 --> 00:14:14,897
Yeah, you can't really
challenge someone to D&D.
360
00:14:14,981 --> 00:14:16,438
It's more like a cooperative
game that's all about
361
00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:18,149
the shared experience
rather than winning.
362
00:14:20,274 --> 00:14:24,034
Thank you, you ol'
good friendship having man.
363
00:14:28,275 --> 00:14:29,521
Is everything okay?
364
00:14:29,606 --> 00:14:30,982
Oh, you tell me.
365
00:14:31,067 --> 00:14:33,237
You got a little sleepyhead
over there.
366
00:14:34,481 --> 00:14:36,046
Do you want to know
what I do
367
00:14:36,131 --> 00:14:38,337
when a kid falls asleep
in my class?
368
00:14:38,422 --> 00:14:39,888
- Sure.
- Nothing,
369
00:14:39,973 --> 00:14:41,285
'cause it doesn't happen.
370
00:14:41,369 --> 00:14:42,655
I keep my kids engaged.
371
00:14:42,890 --> 00:14:44,179
Anyway,
do you have a second
372
00:14:44,264 --> 00:14:46,684
for me to show you something
regarding Courtney?
373
00:14:48,686 --> 00:14:50,142
Alright, my little eagles.
374
00:14:50,227 --> 00:14:52,653
We're gonna take quiet time
a bit early, okay?
375
00:14:52,738 --> 00:14:54,815
Yes, Ms. Schemmenti. Yes, Ms.
Schemmenti. Yes, Ms. Schemmenti.
376
00:14:54,899 --> 00:14:56,655
I know you didn't
pull me out of class
377
00:14:56,740 --> 00:14:57,944
just so you could brag.
378
00:14:58,029 --> 00:14:59,699
No, of course not.
379
00:15:02,725 --> 00:15:05,312
Courtney's teaching us
a new word.
380
00:15:10,980 --> 00:15:12,530
Courtney!
381
00:15:13,587 --> 00:15:15,213
Look away, y'all.
382
00:15:18,676 --> 00:15:20,339
Alright, guys,
we're gonna go into
383
00:15:20,492 --> 00:15:22,105
Ms. Schemmenti's class
for a little bit
384
00:15:22,190 --> 00:15:24,128
while Mr. Johnson
cleans the board
385
00:15:24,332 --> 00:15:27,301
because Courtney decided
to use permanent marker
386
00:15:27,386 --> 00:15:29,309
even though dry‐erase
was right there.
387
00:15:29,394 --> 00:15:30,989
But she knew that.
388
00:15:31,074 --> 00:15:32,278
She knew that.
389
00:15:32,363 --> 00:15:33,802
I heard there's a bet going.
390
00:15:33,887 --> 00:15:35,727
Is it too late for me
to get in on the action?
391
00:15:40,035 --> 00:15:42,193
I went from having one teacher
392
00:15:42,277 --> 00:15:43,934
to two.
Ain't that some ****
393
00:15:44,019 --> 00:15:45,122
Courtney! Courtney!
394
00:15:45,206 --> 00:15:46,962
You know, I'm glad
she's in your class now
395
00:15:47,046 --> 00:15:49,558
so you two can throw
your little tantrums together.
396
00:15:49,824 --> 00:15:51,902
I'm sorry,
was it not a tantrum
397
00:15:52,098 --> 00:15:53,628
when you sent Courtney
to my class
398
00:15:53,713 --> 00:15:55,558
without warning me
about her behavioral issues?
399
00:15:55,643 --> 00:15:57,269
Yes, I saw your notes
in your file.
400
00:15:57,354 --> 00:15:59,230
I did try to warn you,
ya gabbadost,
401
00:15:59,315 --> 00:16:00,572
but you got too big
for your britches
402
00:16:00,656 --> 00:16:02,074
and you didn't
want to listen.
403
00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:04,785
Well, maybe if you hadn't been
making fun of me yesterday,
404
00:16:04,870 --> 00:16:06,326
I wouldn't have
gotten defensive.
405
00:16:06,411 --> 00:16:08,652
Janine, I was goofing.
406
00:16:08,737 --> 00:16:10,403
Unlike when you called me
a bad teacher,
407
00:16:10,488 --> 00:16:12,519
something I would
never call you.
408
00:16:12,969 --> 00:16:15,055
You know, I‐I know
that review hit you hard,
409
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:16,730
but I didn't deserve that.
410
00:16:19,648 --> 00:16:21,064
Okay.
411
00:16:21,152 --> 00:16:23,222
I'm sorry. You're right.
412
00:16:23,353 --> 00:16:24,729
You're right.
413
00:16:24,941 --> 00:16:27,357
That review really,
really hurt my feelings,
414
00:16:27,441 --> 00:16:28,511
and I took it out on you.
415
00:16:28,596 --> 00:16:30,261
It wasn't even that bad.
416
00:16:30,346 --> 00:16:32,012
It just said you were
less experienced.
417
00:16:32,097 --> 00:16:34,223
Listen, if you go look
at the Facebook reviews
418
00:16:34,308 --> 00:16:36,208
of my cousin Rocco's
hoagie shop, you would think
419
00:16:36,292 --> 00:16:38,199
the man sold food poisoning.
420
00:16:38,284 --> 00:16:40,496
But he's gonna keep
making hoagies.
421
00:16:40,673 --> 00:16:41,879
You know why?
422
00:16:41,982 --> 00:16:43,464
Most people love them.
423
00:16:43,658 --> 00:16:45,964
You got to keep
making hoagies.
424
00:16:47,288 --> 00:16:49,238
Now, what are we gonna do
about this one?
425
00:16:53,105 --> 00:16:55,271
Thank you for your business.
426
00:16:55,449 --> 00:16:56,826
Ol' I should have been a hooper,
427
00:16:56,910 --> 00:16:58,956
but basketball didn't exist
lookin' boy.
428
00:17:00,082 --> 00:17:01,394
1800s Slenderman
in the face.
429
00:17:01,479 --> 00:17:03,433
Okay, while
these are hilarious,
430
00:17:03,518 --> 00:17:06,074
let's try and incorporate some
of the lessons into the roast.
431
00:17:06,159 --> 00:17:08,660
Ol' bullet in the head
at Ford's Theatre lookin' boy.
432
00:17:08,745 --> 00:17:12,121
My mans got ain't been sleeping
four score and seven years ago
433
00:17:12,206 --> 00:17:13,581
bags all up under his eyes.
434
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:15,386
Abe Lincoln.
I'm Abe Lincoln, Mr. Hill.
435
00:17:15,471 --> 00:17:17,425
Yes, yes!
Good work, team!
436
00:17:21,621 --> 00:17:23,417
Yeah, I guess,
like, thumbs up is
437
00:17:23,501 --> 00:17:24,675
kind of our thing now.
438
00:17:25,543 --> 00:17:27,042
Bye.
Don't forget your homework.
439
00:17:27,211 --> 00:17:28,199
- Ms. Schemmenti.
- Yes?
440
00:17:28,284 --> 00:17:29,699
Courtney called me stupid.
441
00:17:29,784 --> 00:17:31,820
No, I didn't.
I called you "stupendous,"
442
00:17:31,905 --> 00:17:33,566
- you idiot.
- Courtney!
443
00:17:33,651 --> 00:17:35,737
You know what? I'm just gonna
go home and take a nap,
444
00:17:35,822 --> 00:17:37,558
'cause I'm utterly depleted.
445
00:17:37,783 --> 00:17:38,869
What'd she say?
446
00:17:38,961 --> 00:17:40,377
One thing I will say,
447
00:17:40,462 --> 00:17:42,548
that girl has
a fairly advanced vocabulary.
448
00:17:42,633 --> 00:17:44,277
She corrected my math
last week.
449
00:17:44,362 --> 00:17:45,568
She threw a stapler first,
450
00:17:45,653 --> 00:17:46,910
but she was right
about the math.
451
00:17:46,994 --> 00:17:48,531
You know, when I was
going through Part 2
452
00:17:48,615 --> 00:17:50,081
of Courtney's file earlier,
453
00:17:50,166 --> 00:17:52,402
I realized her grades
have never dropped.
454
00:17:52,487 --> 00:17:53,839
Mnh‐mnh.
And usually when a kid
455
00:17:53,924 --> 00:17:55,035
is acting out like that,
456
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:56,332
you see it
in their performance.
457
00:17:56,416 --> 00:17:58,162
Yeah, that's
what makes it tough.
458
00:17:58,247 --> 00:18:00,527
Hard to discipline a kid
who's getting straight A's.
459
00:18:01,967 --> 00:18:03,593
Alright.
460
00:18:03,678 --> 00:18:05,917
So, what if
we rewarded her?
461
00:18:06,596 --> 00:18:08,699
You might be onto something
there, rookie.
462
00:18:08,784 --> 00:18:11,910
Okay, so if B makes it block,
463
00:18:11,995 --> 00:18:14,152
then C makes it what?
464
00:18:14,289 --> 00:18:16,835
Uh, not quite. Try again.
465
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,128
There you go. Good job.
466
00:18:19,383 --> 00:18:21,714
Wow. You think you know someone,
467
00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:24,089
and then they cheat on you
with their thumb.
468
00:18:26,104 --> 00:18:29,035
Ol' Siskel & Ebert
two thumbs up lookin' ass boy.
469
00:18:29,315 --> 00:18:31,160
Okay.
470
00:18:31,367 --> 00:18:33,352
You want to bump the
**** Puzzles kid up a grade?
471
00:18:33,436 --> 00:18:35,285
Yes. After
talking to Melissa
472
00:18:35,370 --> 00:18:37,467
about how she was able
to keep Courtney in line,
473
00:18:37,552 --> 00:18:39,218
we realized
the only thing that works
474
00:18:39,303 --> 00:18:40,559
is when
she feels challenged.
475
00:18:40,644 --> 00:18:41,700
Are you sure
you're not just trying
476
00:18:41,784 --> 00:18:42,997
to dump Courtney
on another teacher?
477
00:18:43,081 --> 00:18:44,097
No, no, no. I feel
478
00:18:44,182 --> 00:18:45,808
that with a more
challenging workload,
479
00:18:45,893 --> 00:18:48,319
Courtney will be much,
much easier to handle,
480
00:18:48,404 --> 00:18:50,387
and she won't have time
to distract her classmates.
481
00:18:50,471 --> 00:18:53,519
Mm‐hmm.
Why does that sound so familiar?
482
00:18:53,717 --> 00:18:55,557
Oh. Hold up.
483
00:18:57,441 --> 00:18:58,777
Part 3?
484
00:18:58,862 --> 00:19:01,050
My bad, y'all. She was supposed
to skip second grade,
485
00:19:01,135 --> 00:19:02,340
but they told me
during Essence Fest.
486
00:19:02,424 --> 00:19:03,971
I missed a lot of paperwork
during that month.
487
00:19:04,055 --> 00:19:05,511
Isn't Essence Fest
just a weekend?
488
00:19:05,596 --> 00:19:06,558
Maybe for y'all.
489
00:19:08,980 --> 00:19:11,558
- Oh, hey, Barbara!
- Nothing to see here,
490
00:19:11,643 --> 00:19:14,889
just Janine going on and on
about what a handful Courtney is
491
00:19:14,974 --> 00:19:17,605
and how she can't handle
the situation at all.
492
00:19:17,697 --> 00:19:19,300
Is that so?
493
00:19:20,011 --> 00:19:21,797
Fine.
494
00:19:21,882 --> 00:19:24,042
I guess technically
Janine succeeded.
495
00:19:24,191 --> 00:19:26,241
She figured out that Courtney
needs to be bumped up a grade.
496
00:19:26,325 --> 00:19:28,411
Guess you win the bet.
497
00:19:28,503 --> 00:19:29,756
Hmm.
498
00:19:30,831 --> 00:19:32,162
Barbara?
499
00:19:32,980 --> 00:19:34,356
You believed in me?
500
00:19:34,441 --> 00:19:36,737
Janine, why don't you go
handle this transfer
501
00:19:36,822 --> 00:19:39,198
so that your class isn't
any more disrupted
502
00:19:39,283 --> 00:19:41,014
than it already has been?
503
00:19:41,881 --> 00:19:43,381
Okay.
504
00:19:44,834 --> 00:19:46,490
Mm.
505
00:19:48,131 --> 00:19:49,597
It's a heart.
506
00:19:49,681 --> 00:19:51,562
I learned that from Courtney.
507
00:19:52,472 --> 00:19:55,398
I thought Barbara bet
against me, but she didn't.
508
00:19:55,521 --> 00:19:57,767
She actually thinks
I'm a great teacher.
509
00:19:57,851 --> 00:20:00,444
Maybe even better than...
510
00:20:00,529 --> 00:20:01,945
Courtney!
511
00:20:02,134 --> 00:20:03,856
Hey, Courtney! What, get...
512
00:20:03,941 --> 00:20:06,944
How'd you get back
in the building? Courtney!
513
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,897
It's barely wet.
What you, the CDC?
514
00:20:15,011 --> 00:20:19,387
I will expect some non‐brassiere
money from you by tomorrow,
515
00:20:19,472 --> 00:20:21,058
because, Ava?
516
00:20:21,143 --> 00:20:22,309
Huh?
517
00:20:22,394 --> 00:20:25,604
You do not want to
owe me money.
518
00:20:26,791 --> 00:20:28,092
Hmm.
519
00:20:32,728 --> 00:20:35,434
Oh, damn.
520
00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:37,439
Mm.
521
00:20:40,734 --> 00:20:42,254
What?
