Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,750 --> 00:00:03,042
- Hey.
- Hey.
2
00:00:03,067 --> 00:00:05,430
- Ugh! Disgusting.
- Alright.
3
00:00:05,455 --> 00:00:07,131
Wow, we're just not biting
our tongues anymore?
4
00:00:07,132 --> 00:00:08,735
This is vintage. Okay, no.
5
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,292
There's a green bubble
on the group chat.
6
00:00:11,317 --> 00:00:13,032
I have an iPhone, but
I left the group chat
7
00:00:13,057 --> 00:00:14,990
after Mr. Johnson
started that soup thread.
8
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:16,182
Uh, it's me, okay?
9
00:00:16,183 --> 00:00:18,226
I-I got a new phone. A droid.
10
00:00:18,227 --> 00:00:19,393
Wait, there's a group chat?
11
00:00:19,394 --> 00:00:21,172
Look, it's not easy
being green, okay?
12
00:00:21,214 --> 00:00:23,300
Android discrimination is one
of the last acceptable forms
13
00:00:23,324 --> 00:00:24,991
of hate in this country.
14
00:00:25,016 --> 00:00:26,947
There was a pothole
on 50th Street.
15
00:00:26,972 --> 00:00:28,056
I tried to warn you about it.
16
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,831
Yeah, well, I hit it
17
00:00:29,856 --> 00:00:32,353
because I couldn't
read your stupid text.
18
00:00:32,378 --> 00:00:33,899
I just don't have time for this.
19
00:00:35,022 --> 00:00:37,482
Go back to the blue bubble!
20
00:00:37,563 --> 00:00:38,786
Life is hard enough as it is.
21
00:00:38,811 --> 00:00:40,933
Now I got two classes
worth of grades to finish
22
00:00:40,958 --> 00:00:42,208
and a tire to replace.
23
00:00:42,209 --> 00:00:43,372
You know what?
24
00:00:43,397 --> 00:00:45,281
I would like to see
your phone survive that.
25
00:00:45,306 --> 00:00:46,557
Let me in the group chat. No.
26
00:00:46,582 --> 00:00:48,334
I tried, but they say
you "ha ha" every text...
27
00:00:48,358 --> 00:00:49,734
That's not fair,
and that's not true.
28
00:00:49,758 --> 00:00:51,172
Breaking news, y'all.
29
00:00:51,197 --> 00:00:52,991
You let another camera
crew onto school property?
30
00:00:53,015 --> 00:00:55,072
Seriously? We're
from Channel Six.
31
00:00:55,097 --> 00:00:56,222
Rolling. Action news.
32
00:00:56,223 --> 00:00:57,579
The Chief Education Officer
33
00:00:57,604 --> 00:00:59,855
for the Philadelphia Board
of Education is here,
34
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,875
Elizabeth Washington, with a
special announcement.
35
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:05,489
Every year, the
Philadelphia school district
36
00:01:05,514 --> 00:01:08,057
shines a light on an
educator that represents
37
00:01:08,082 --> 00:01:11,168
what it means to be an
exceptional educator.
38
00:01:11,193 --> 00:01:13,736
And this year, the
award goes to...
39
00:01:13,816 --> 00:01:14,984
Gregory Eddie.
40
00:01:15,009 --> 00:01:16,969
Oh! Oh!
41
00:01:16,994 --> 00:01:18,077
Oh!
42
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:19,814
This Gregory Eddie? Me?
43
00:01:19,839 --> 00:01:22,291
Yeah, you, with your
fine, silly ass. Ah!
44
00:01:35,918 --> 00:01:37,674
Could we get some B-roll
ahead of the interview
45
00:01:37,698 --> 00:01:39,490
with our Mr. Eddie? Of course.
46
00:01:39,515 --> 00:01:41,099
We have everything you need
47
00:01:41,124 --> 00:01:43,276
for a motivational
yet emotional package.
48
00:01:43,334 --> 00:01:46,391
Sad kids, mad kids,
happy kids, new kids.
49
00:01:46,976 --> 00:01:48,059
Ignore that kid.
50
00:01:48,084 --> 00:01:49,919
I didn't like that.
51
00:01:50,443 --> 00:01:51,694
Oh!
52
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:53,595
Congratulations, Gregory.
53
00:01:53,620 --> 00:01:54,953
Thanks, I guess.
54
00:01:54,978 --> 00:01:56,062
This is weird, right?
55
00:01:56,087 --> 00:01:57,554
How can I be
Educator of the Year
56
00:01:57,579 --> 00:01:58,872
if I haven't even been
a full-time teacher
57
00:01:58,896 --> 00:02:00,180
for the whole year?
58
00:02:00,205 --> 00:02:02,499
Well, typically, the award
has been about optics.
59
00:02:02,524 --> 00:02:05,367
And by awarding you, it might
encourage other young Black men
60
00:02:05,392 --> 00:02:08,222
to become elementary
school teachers.
61
00:02:08,271 --> 00:02:09,646
Besides, it makes
them look good.
62
00:02:09,671 --> 00:02:10,861
It's not merit-based at all,
63
00:02:10,943 --> 00:02:12,482
but who wants to live
in a meritocracy?
64
00:02:13,508 --> 00:02:14,862
I don't get it.
65
00:02:14,887 --> 00:02:18,056
I'm also very uncomfortable
with the extra attention.
66
00:02:18,081 --> 00:02:20,665
I'm uncomfortable
in general, but...
67
00:02:20,690 --> 00:02:23,275
Alright. You guys are
killing it, truly.
68
00:02:23,301 --> 00:02:26,261
So, what is the
capital of Alaska?
69
00:02:26,476 --> 00:02:28,143
Tasia. Juneau.
70
00:02:28,168 --> 00:02:29,836
That's right... Juneau,
71
00:02:29,861 --> 00:02:31,445
which is also a
very funny movie.
72
00:02:31,470 --> 00:02:34,889
Alright, let's
move on to the Aloha state.
73
00:02:36,352 --> 00:02:38,127
Ohh, I hate geography.
74
00:02:38,152 --> 00:02:39,593
Deshaun, please.
75
00:02:39,618 --> 00:02:40,618
Shut up!
76
00:02:40,619 --> 00:02:41,827
Ooh!
77
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:43,114
That's Deshaun.
78
00:02:43,139 --> 00:02:45,223
Deshaun's been having
difficulties all year,
79
00:02:45,248 --> 00:02:47,400
but lately, it's
been getting worse.
80
00:02:47,425 --> 00:02:50,677
I tried talking to him,
incentivizing him with rewards,
81
00:02:50,702 --> 00:02:52,619
but nothing's
really worked. Yet.
82
00:02:52,644 --> 00:02:56,105
So, I'm gonna be using my
not-so-secret secret weapon,
83
00:02:56,212 --> 00:02:57,463
a parent meeting.
84
00:02:58,888 --> 00:03:00,231
Come on. Enjoy your recess.
85
00:03:00,256 --> 00:03:01,673
And please don't eat any dirt.
86
00:03:01,698 --> 00:03:04,241
I just added new fertilizer.
87
00:03:05,715 --> 00:03:07,228
Oh, I'm just going
to the bathroom.
88
00:03:07,229 --> 00:03:08,092
You don't need to follow me.
89
00:03:08,117 --> 00:03:09,660
Good. Yeah.
90
00:03:12,404 --> 00:03:13,822
Barbara, this came for you.
91
00:03:16,551 --> 00:03:17,822
I have to go to court?
92
00:03:18,724 --> 00:03:20,725
Oh, wait. This is a
cease-and-desist for me.
93
00:03:20,750 --> 00:03:22,376
Coleman Camping
Supplies seems to think
94
00:03:22,401 --> 00:03:24,526
that they're the only Colemans
that can sell camping supplies.
95
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:25,883
I got lanterns, too.
96
00:03:25,908 --> 00:03:26,919
You didn't complete
97
00:03:26,944 --> 00:03:28,945
your continuing
education requirements.
98
00:03:28,970 --> 00:03:30,851
Every five years,
every schoolteacher
99
00:03:30,876 --> 00:03:33,419
must take continuing
education classes,
100
00:03:33,444 --> 00:03:35,695
as mandated by the
school district,
101
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,680
which means that
after all these years,
102
00:03:38,705 --> 00:03:41,916
I must prove to them
that I can still teach.
103
00:03:42,035 --> 00:03:43,911
It is preposterous.
104
00:03:43,936 --> 00:03:45,561
I'm sure I completed them all.
105
00:03:45,586 --> 00:03:47,005
Well, the school
district says otherwise,
106
00:03:47,029 --> 00:03:48,246
'cause you're one course short.
107
00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:49,286
You'll have to complete it,
108
00:03:49,310 --> 00:03:50,555
or you will lose
your teaching license
109
00:03:50,579 --> 00:03:52,330
and you'll be out
on the streets.
110
00:03:52,506 --> 00:03:53,882
Why can't you be
more like Gregory?
111
00:03:53,907 --> 00:03:56,034
Have more
educator-of-the-year energy.
112
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:59,167
Hey, Ava? Sorry.
113
00:03:59,192 --> 00:04:00,896
I have something pressing.
114
00:04:00,921 --> 00:04:02,616
Can I get your
permission to move up
115
00:04:02,617 --> 00:04:05,161
a parent-teacher meeting
from next week to today?
116
00:04:05,162 --> 00:04:06,162
I'm having... Sounds lovely.
117
00:04:06,163 --> 00:04:07,163
I have an announcement to make.
118
00:04:07,164 --> 00:04:08,372
Go bananas.
119
00:04:08,373 --> 00:04:09,540
Okay.
120
00:04:09,541 --> 00:04:10,704
Alright.
121
00:04:10,729 --> 00:04:12,525
Now, remember to keep sounding
out those vocab words,
122
00:04:12,549 --> 00:04:15,078
and you did really good
on that last quiz, okay?
123
00:04:15,103 --> 00:04:16,497
And cut! That was beautiful.
124
00:04:16,522 --> 00:04:18,251
Actually, Brayden,
I'll give the notes.
125
00:04:18,276 --> 00:04:20,485
So, can we just try another one
126
00:04:20,510 --> 00:04:22,214
where you give him a high five?
127
00:04:23,408 --> 00:04:24,783
I didn't do that
for the cameras.
128
00:04:24,808 --> 00:04:25,892
Oh, I know that's clear.
129
00:04:27,209 --> 00:04:28,460
But this one's
gonna be delightful.
130
00:04:28,484 --> 00:04:29,501
Delightful.
131
00:04:29,526 --> 00:04:31,152
You can sit down, man.
132
00:04:31,177 --> 00:04:32,843
Um, do you guys think
you have enough?
133
00:04:32,868 --> 00:04:34,035
Like, are we done here?
134
00:04:35,444 --> 00:04:38,285
You're not what I would
call a natural, but yeah.
135
00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:40,353
So, I think we are
done filming, guys.
136
00:04:40,378 --> 00:04:41,715
Great. Awesome.
You can head out.
137
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:42,668
Right this way.
138
00:04:42,693 --> 00:04:45,261
So... Oh, my bad.
You're the doc crew.
139
00:04:45,286 --> 00:04:46,871
You're the one with the
bird tattoo, not the snake.
140
00:04:46,895 --> 00:04:47,897
You can stay.
141
00:04:47,922 --> 00:04:49,191
But y'all can dip
like guacamole.
142
00:04:49,215 --> 00:04:50,515
Come on, now. There it is.
143
00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:51,194
Okay.
144
00:04:51,219 --> 00:04:52,901
The door is right
down this hallway.
145
00:04:52,926 --> 00:04:53,674
I'm gonna...
146
00:04:53,699 --> 00:04:56,129
Okay. And we'll see
you at the ceremony.
147
00:04:58,875 --> 00:05:01,084
Ceremony? What?
148
00:05:01,109 --> 00:05:02,513
Well, there's a
ceremony, of course.
149
00:05:02,538 --> 00:05:05,081
There's food, drinks,
spoken-word poem,
150
00:05:05,106 --> 00:05:06,523
children's choir...
151
00:05:06,548 --> 00:05:08,424
From Abbott? Oh,
God, I hope not.
152
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,920
Oh, bonus...
153
00:05:09,945 --> 00:05:11,256
We have one of your
fellow teachers
154
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:13,741
who's gonna present the
award to you herself.
155
00:05:13,766 --> 00:05:15,791
Mm. Who are you talking about?
156
00:05:15,816 --> 00:05:18,276
Ms. Schemmenti to deliver, uh,
157
00:05:18,301 --> 00:05:21,887
a speech about your
outsized accomplishments,
158
00:05:21,912 --> 00:05:24,539
which I'm sure... Um, could we
get another teacher to do it?
159
00:05:24,564 --> 00:05:25,981
Like, literally anybody else?
160
00:05:26,006 --> 00:05:27,787
Or maybe I could even
present it to myself.
161
00:05:27,812 --> 00:05:29,105
Attention, Abbott!
162
00:05:29,129 --> 00:05:31,046
After school in
the gym... Oh. Shh!
163
00:05:31,071 --> 00:05:33,635
We'll be having the Educator
of the Year ceremony
164
00:05:33,660 --> 00:05:36,828
for the slim, the sensual,
the strange Gregory Eddie.
165
00:05:36,853 --> 00:05:39,480
He'll receive said award
from everyone's favorite
166
00:05:39,505 --> 00:05:41,470
neighborhood Italian,
Melissa Schemmenti.
167
00:05:41,495 --> 00:05:42,552
Gaba gootz!
168
00:05:42,577 --> 00:05:44,202
Ladies free before 3:00 p. m.
169
00:05:44,227 --> 00:05:46,986
Sponsored by Bone
Town. Oww, oww!
170
00:05:47,011 --> 00:05:49,013
What the hell's going on?
Melissa, I'm sorry. I had no idea.
171
00:05:49,037 --> 00:05:50,237
Okay, why me?
172
00:05:50,262 --> 00:05:54,349
So, we like to have a
diverse, kaleidoscopic POV
173
00:05:54,374 --> 00:05:57,334
to bridge the gap between
culture and education.
174
00:05:57,359 --> 00:05:58,609
What this white lady is saying
175
00:05:58,634 --> 00:05:59,912
is they want a
white lady to do it
176
00:05:59,936 --> 00:06:01,770
because y'all been
acting up this year.
177
00:06:01,795 --> 00:06:03,587
Yes! Thank you so
much. That's right.
178
00:06:03,612 --> 00:06:06,040
Trust me, you don't want to
get on the district's bad side.
179
00:06:06,065 --> 00:06:07,941
- Ms. Schemmenti!
- Ms. Schemmenti!
180
00:06:07,966 --> 00:06:10,217
- Ms. Schemmenti!
- Ms. Schemmenti!
181
00:06:10,242 --> 00:06:11,955
- Ms. Schemmenti!
- Ms. Schemmenti!
182
00:06:19,170 --> 00:06:21,461
Hey, Mr. Educator
of the Yeeeear!
183
00:06:21,486 --> 00:06:22,961
Don't
do that.
184
00:06:22,985 --> 00:06:24,229
Uh, how's it going
with Deshaun today?
185
00:06:24,253 --> 00:06:26,212
Oh, it's...
186
00:06:26,237 --> 00:06:27,668
it's going.
187
00:06:27,693 --> 00:06:30,341
Yeah, let's just say I'm happy
I'm talking to his mom today.
188
00:06:31,067 --> 00:06:33,234
So, you ready to get the
keys to the city yet?
189
00:06:33,259 --> 00:06:34,636
I hate to break up
this little love-fest,
190
00:06:34,660 --> 00:06:36,286
but I don't have much time.
191
00:06:36,311 --> 00:06:37,520
What love? There's
no love here.
192
00:06:37,544 --> 00:06:39,378
Gregory, intro!
193
00:06:39,403 --> 00:06:41,112
Bye.
194
00:06:41,137 --> 00:06:43,221
So, apparently,
I'm supposed to say
195
00:06:43,246 --> 00:06:44,774
some nice things about you,
196
00:06:44,799 --> 00:06:46,075
so why don't you just
tell me some of the things
197
00:06:46,099 --> 00:06:47,892
you think you accomplished
over the year,
198
00:06:47,923 --> 00:06:49,527
and I'll whip it
up into an intro?
199
00:06:49,552 --> 00:06:50,677
Okay, have a seat.
200
00:06:50,702 --> 00:06:52,025
Alright. Uh, okay.
201
00:06:52,050 --> 00:06:54,885
I feel like we've made
progress on identifying shapes,
202
00:06:54,910 --> 00:06:57,287
although a lot of them got
hexagons and polygons confused.
203
00:06:57,312 --> 00:07:00,314
And then one of them thought a
polygon was the Pentagon, and...
204
00:07:00,339 --> 00:07:02,279
Okay, just give me something,
205
00:07:02,304 --> 00:07:04,024
anything you thought
you were good at... go.
206
00:07:05,216 --> 00:07:07,054
I-I don't... I
don't really know.
207
00:07:07,079 --> 00:07:08,789
I feel like I'm below average
at teaching language arts,
208
00:07:08,813 --> 00:07:10,533
which, like, what does
that say about me?
209
00:07:10,558 --> 00:07:13,219
How about I say
you are punctual?
210
00:07:13,923 --> 00:07:16,648
And all the kids love you.
211
00:07:17,430 --> 00:07:20,566
To be completely honest,
I don't know that they do.
212
00:07:20,591 --> 00:07:23,501
But some of them like me.
213
00:07:23,526 --> 00:07:24,754
How about this?
214
00:07:24,778 --> 00:07:26,946
I'm just gonna do,
like, a regift speech.
215
00:07:26,971 --> 00:07:28,805
I'll just repurpose
some of the compliments
216
00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:30,474
I've gotten over the years.
217
00:07:30,511 --> 00:07:32,637
Okay?
218
00:07:38,285 --> 00:07:40,036
Jacob, I'm going to
ask you something,
219
00:07:40,061 --> 00:07:42,804
and I only want a "yes"
or a "no" response.
220
00:07:43,403 --> 00:07:45,779
Can you help me... Oh, my God!
221
00:07:45,804 --> 00:07:48,180
Lord, build me a
fence. Yes. What is it?
222
00:07:48,205 --> 00:07:49,928
Calm down.
223
00:07:49,953 --> 00:07:53,914
I need help signing into a
continuing education class.
224
00:07:53,939 --> 00:07:56,284
Okay, well, let's
take a look-see.
225
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:58,839
Looks like a lot of
goofy acronyms so far.
226
00:07:58,864 --> 00:08:00,782
Mm. A complete waste of time.
227
00:08:00,807 --> 00:08:02,724
NAP... Nodding and Praising.
228
00:08:02,749 --> 00:08:04,208
I only praise the Lord.
229
00:08:04,233 --> 00:08:06,012
MUD... Meeting Under Duress.
230
00:08:06,037 --> 00:08:07,829
Mm, I came up out of the mud.
231
00:08:07,854 --> 00:08:10,826
FART... Facilitating
A Reading Tyke.
232
00:08:10,851 --> 00:08:12,893
Seems like they
wanted to do that.
233
00:08:12,918 --> 00:08:15,095
And look, most of
the seats are taken.
234
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,409
Uh, okay, got one.
235
00:08:17,434 --> 00:08:20,248
Boom! IGAL...
Intergenerational Active Listening.
236
00:08:20,273 --> 00:08:21,440
What'd you say?
237
00:08:21,465 --> 00:08:23,966
IGAL for My Gal.
238
00:08:23,991 --> 00:08:25,647
Put it in your cal, pal.
239
00:08:28,517 --> 00:08:30,643
Oh! Yurrr!
240
00:08:30,668 --> 00:08:33,628
There he is,
Educator of the Year!
241
00:08:33,653 --> 00:08:35,986
Ashley. What are
you doing here?
242
00:08:36,011 --> 00:08:37,090
I thought you were at
another school now.
243
00:08:37,114 --> 00:08:39,100
I was. And
then another one after that,
244
00:08:39,124 --> 00:08:40,375
and then another one after that.
245
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:43,864
And then they gave me
Teacher's Aide of the Year!
246
00:08:43,980 --> 00:08:45,024
Look at us.
247
00:08:45,049 --> 00:08:47,121
Two young guns,
killing awards season.
248
00:08:47,146 --> 00:08:48,813

255

Your award put the

00:09:08,506 --> 00:09:10,943
so we have to make the most
of it before the news moves on
257
00:09:10,968 --> 00:09:14,554
to a cannibal celebrity or
some new Frisbee dog champion.
258
00:09:14,579 --> 00:09:17,263

Yeah, you know, it's
all bit showy and goofy,

Ms. O'Neill, please come in.
283
00:10:18,430 --> 00:10:20,306
Cassandra. Alright.
284
00:10:20,331 --> 00:10:21,873
Nice to meet you,
Ms. Cassandra.
285
00:10:21,898 --> 00:10:23,628
Just Cassandra works fine.
286
00:10:23,653 --> 00:10:25,141
Alright. Please have a seat.
287
00:10:29,075 --> 00:10:31,914
First of all, thank you
so much for coming in.
288
00:10:31,939 --> 00:10:34,067
I know it's difficult to do
in the middle of a work day.
289
00:10:34,091 --> 00:10:36,008
Oh, it's fine. I just
had someone pick up
290
00:10:36,033 --> 00:10:38,326
the rest of my shift on
short notice, but I'm here.
291
00:10:38,351 --> 00:10:41,019
I respect that, so I'll
get right into it. Mm-hmm.
292
00:10:41,044 --> 00:10:45,548
So, you know, I've been
dealing with some issues
293
00:10:45,573 --> 00:10:48,241
with your son Deshaun since
the beginning of the year,
294
00:10:48,266 --> 00:10:50,495
minor issues, and I've
been managing them,
295
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,311
but as the year has gone on,
296
00:10:52,336 --> 00:10:54,003
it's just gotten
progressively worse.
297
00:10:54,028 --> 00:10:55,196
Worse? How?
298
00:10:55,221 --> 00:10:57,372
Well, it started off
with, like, small things,
299
00:10:57,397 --> 00:11:00,065
like him calling out the answers
without raising his hand.
300
00:11:00,090 --> 00:11:01,675
But, you know, now it's
started to escalate
301
00:11:01,699 --> 00:11:03,754
to him throwing books and...
302
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,559
The right answers or
the wrong answers?
303
00:11:05,584 --> 00:11:06,752
Well, right or wrong,
304
00:11:06,777 --> 00:11:09,156
it's just disruptive
to the other students.
305
00:11:09,239 --> 00:11:11,407
Mm-hmm, I see.
306
00:11:11,432 --> 00:11:14,434
And look, I know we both
want what's best for Deshaun.
307
00:11:14,465 --> 00:11:15,966
So what do you want from me?
308
00:11:15,991 --> 00:11:16,992
Well, I thought...
309
00:11:17,016 --> 00:11:18,549
Thought what, exactly?
310
00:11:18,574 --> 00:11:20,700
This wasn't my first
option, by the way.
311
00:11:20,725 --> 00:11:22,392
As I've said, his behavior
312
00:11:22,417 --> 00:11:24,835
has been getting
progressively worse,
313
00:11:24,860 --> 00:11:26,444
and I've been
trying to make sure
314
00:11:26,469 --> 00:11:28,595
he's having a successful
time at school.
315
00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:30,329
And nobody's stopping
you from doing that.
316
00:11:30,354 --> 00:11:32,272
He's kind of stopping
me, actually.
317
00:11:32,297 --> 00:11:34,311
He's 7. You can't
control a 7-year-old?
318
00:11:35,958 --> 00:11:38,751
Cassandra, it's
not about control.
319
00:11:38,859 --> 00:11:40,151
You know, we're setting him up
320
00:11:40,176 --> 00:11:41,853
to be the best
student he can be,
321
00:11:41,878 --> 00:11:42,962
and you know, we're
a team in this.
322
00:11:42,986 --> 00:11:44,403
We're not a team.
323
00:11:44,428 --> 00:11:45,773
And I don't see how he
could be the best student
324
00:11:45,797 --> 00:11:47,424
that he could be with
a teacher like you.
325
00:11:49,132 --> 00:11:51,052
Um, excuse me?
326
00:11:51,077 --> 00:11:52,384
And now
my boss is calling.
327
00:11:52,408 --> 00:11:55,285
I took time out of my
day, away from my job,
328
00:11:55,310 --> 00:11:57,020
to come down here to hear
you complain about my son,
329
00:11:57,044 --> 00:11:58,920
and you're not even
doing your job.
330
00:11:58,945 --> 00:12:01,818
I'm doing the best
I can with your son.
331
00:12:01,843 --> 00:12:03,489
If this is the best
that you can do,
332
00:12:03,514 --> 00:12:06,059
you are the worst teacher
that I've ever seen.
333
00:12:07,712 --> 00:12:08,895
You know, and you're right.
334
00:12:08,896 --> 00:12:10,512
Call me Ms. O'Neill.
335
00:12:10,537 --> 00:12:12,040
Down here wasting my damn time.
336
00:12:25,369 --> 00:12:27,466
Janine? Ah.
337
00:12:27,491 --> 00:12:28,741
What's wrong?
338
00:12:28,904 --> 00:12:34,082
Um,
Deshaun's mom, uh...
339
00:12:34,107 --> 00:12:38,652
she called me a bad
teacher, and it was just...
340
00:12:40,078 --> 00:12:41,320
I don't even know why
I'm crying right now.
341
00:12:41,344 --> 00:12:42,318
Look, look.
342
00:12:42,343 --> 00:12:44,610
She doesn't know what
she's talking about, okay?
343
00:12:44,635 --> 00:12:46,123
You're a good teacher, Janine.
344
00:12:49,852 --> 00:12:51,019
Janine?
345
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:52,687
Who am I going to have
346
00:12:52,712 --> 00:12:56,427
an intergenerational
conversation with?
347
00:12:57,068 --> 00:12:58,068
Oh.
348
00:13:01,025 --> 00:13:02,925
What happened? A
parent yelled at her.
349
00:13:02,950 --> 00:13:05,245
I'm trying to help, but I think
I'm making it worse. It's okay.
350
00:13:05,269 --> 00:13:07,447
Paging
Educator of the Year, Mr. Eddie.
351
00:13:07,471 --> 00:13:09,723
Your essence is needed at
the award presentation,
352
00:13:09,748 --> 00:13:11,529
so bring that punim to the gym!
353
00:13:11,554 --> 00:13:13,893
Gregory, you go on
ahead. I can handle this.
354
00:13:13,918 --> 00:13:15,420
Knock if you need me.
I'll be in my classroom.
355
00:13:15,444 --> 00:13:16,692
Okay. Go on.
356
00:13:16,717 --> 00:13:18,719
Thank you. Mm-hmm.
357
00:13:21,749 --> 00:13:24,960
Uh, so she comes in,
358
00:13:24,985 --> 00:13:28,154
and I told her about
her son's acting out.
359
00:13:28,278 --> 00:13:30,491
You know, I'm trying to
have a conversation...
360
00:13:30,516 --> 00:13:33,184
Cool, calm, where we figure
out what to do. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
361
00:13:33,209 --> 00:13:35,043
I offered solutions.
362
00:13:35,141 --> 00:13:36,392
I was patient.
363
00:13:36,417 --> 00:13:38,529
I told her we're a team.
364
00:13:38,714 --> 00:13:40,021
And...
365
00:13:42,729 --> 00:13:44,369
she
just destroyed me.
366
00:13:46,481 --> 00:13:48,799
She called me the worst
teacher she's ever seen.
367
00:13:50,062 --> 00:13:51,863
Janine, do you believe
you're the worst teacher?
368
00:13:51,887 --> 00:13:53,793
I don't know.
369
00:13:53,818 --> 00:13:56,519
I've done everything
I can for Deshaun,
370
00:13:56,544 --> 00:13:59,129
and it's not enough, so maybe.
371
00:13:59,154 --> 00:14:01,822
So, what you're gonna
do is pick yourself up,
372
00:14:01,847 --> 00:14:03,264
dust yourself off,
373
00:14:03,289 --> 00:14:06,041
come back here tomorrow,
and do your job.
374
00:14:06,066 --> 00:14:08,025
But I didn't solve the problem.
375
00:14:08,050 --> 00:14:09,653
I am failing him.
376
00:14:10,812 --> 00:14:12,937
I have been called a
bad teacher more times
377
00:14:12,962 --> 00:14:15,380
than I can ever
remember.
378
00:14:15,405 --> 00:14:17,406
People have thrown
dirt on my name.
379
00:14:17,431 --> 00:14:19,452
Others have given
flowers.
380
00:14:19,477 --> 00:14:21,770
But it's all a garden to me.
381
00:14:21,795 --> 00:14:25,006
Barbara, I've never
seen you fail a child.
382
00:14:25,031 --> 00:14:26,812
You always find a
solution. Oh, please.
383
00:14:26,837 --> 00:14:28,588
I do not always have the answer.
384
00:14:28,613 --> 00:14:30,453
In fact, there are some
issues and problems
385
00:14:30,478 --> 00:14:33,313
that are just too
difficult for anyone,
386
00:14:33,352 --> 00:14:36,730
even me, to solve
in one school year.
387
00:14:36,755 --> 00:14:40,290
But if you come back here
tomorrow ready to do your job,
388
00:14:40,315 --> 00:14:43,858
having not given up on
yourself or that student,
389
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:47,288
well, that is not failure.
390
00:14:47,313 --> 00:14:49,815
Sometimes, that's what
success looks like.
391
00:14:54,066 --> 00:14:56,860
So, how long do you think
that conversation was?
392
00:14:56,885 --> 00:14:59,762
You know, let's just
round it up to 15 minutes.
393
00:14:59,787 --> 00:15:03,248
Now, I am going to need
you to initial and sign
394
00:15:03,273 --> 00:15:04,940
my IGAL worksheet.
395
00:15:04,965 --> 00:15:07,550
Oh, okay. Yeah.
See? There you go.
396
00:15:07,575 --> 00:15:10,368
Oh, and if you see
any more weeping millennials
397
00:15:10,393 --> 00:15:13,323
roaming the hallway,
please, send them my way.
398
00:15:13,348 --> 00:15:15,200
Okay. Um, thank you so much.
399
00:15:15,225 --> 00:15:16,424
Thank you, baby.
400
00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:23,594
Hey!
401
00:15:23,671 --> 00:15:25,845
What are you doing in here,
Mr. Educator of the Year?
402
00:15:25,870 --> 00:15:27,987
The ceremony's out this way.
403
00:15:28,012 --> 00:15:30,874
Look, I don't think I can go
up there and accept this award.
404
00:15:30,899 --> 00:15:32,025
What?
405
00:15:32,050 --> 00:15:33,676
They set up the
whole gym for you.
406
00:15:33,701 --> 00:15:35,869
I wrote you this great speech.
407
00:15:35,894 --> 00:15:38,270
Well, I landed on a
Jalen Hurts tribute post
408
00:15:38,295 --> 00:15:39,926
that I repurposed, but still.
409
00:15:40,900 --> 00:15:43,401
Honestly, I feel ridiculous.
410
00:15:43,426 --> 00:15:45,172
Like, I don't
deserve this award.
411
00:15:45,197 --> 00:15:46,865
With everything that
Barbara does for the school,
412
00:15:46,889 --> 00:15:48,812
and you teaching two
grades, and... and...
413
00:15:48,837 --> 00:15:51,338
And Janine getting
yelled at by a parent,
414
00:15:51,363 --> 00:15:53,294
I feel like I'm the last
person who should get this.
415
00:15:53,318 --> 00:15:55,929
Yeah, you're definitely not the
best teacher in Philadelphia.
416
00:15:55,954 --> 00:15:57,496
Or, you know, this school.
417
00:15:57,521 --> 00:15:59,439
Or your grade. Or
even this classroom.
418
00:15:59,464 --> 00:16:01,001
Is there a point? Like,
where are we going?
419
00:16:01,025 --> 00:16:04,230
Gregory, you don't deserve
to be Educator of the Year.
420
00:16:04,255 --> 00:16:05,598
Still waiting for that point.
421
00:16:05,623 --> 00:16:09,980
But I've seen you stick it out
and improve week after week.
422
00:16:10,005 --> 00:16:13,421
You work really hard to
get better, and you care.
423
00:16:14,533 --> 00:16:17,911
So maybe someday, you'll grow
into deserving this award.
424
00:16:17,936 --> 00:16:19,227
But you know what?
425
00:16:19,252 --> 00:16:20,836
They're not gonna
give it to you then.
426
00:16:20,861 --> 00:16:24,322
'Cause you can't choose
when people acknowledge you.
427
00:16:24,425 --> 00:16:25,801
This is your moment.
428
00:16:25,826 --> 00:16:30,079
So just, hey, think of it like
you accept the award early.
429
00:16:30,104 --> 00:16:31,419
Okay.
430
00:16:32,266 --> 00:16:34,684
Maybe I'm like
"Rookie of the Year."
431
00:16:34,709 --> 00:16:36,023
Yeah.
432
00:16:36,584 --> 00:16:38,710
Well, the thing is, you are
still an important member
433
00:16:38,735 --> 00:16:41,142
of this team, so
get in the game.
434
00:16:43,462 --> 00:16:45,422
Yeah! Let's go, Slugger!
435
00:16:45,447 --> 00:16:48,444
Finally, I'd like to send a
shout-out to all the schools
436
00:16:48,469 --> 00:16:50,387
I haven't had to
soft quit this year.
437
00:16:50,412 --> 00:16:52,099
Not me
being so good at my job
438
00:16:52,124 --> 00:16:54,208
they always tell me I
don't have to come back.
439
00:16:54,233 --> 00:16:55,443
Thank you.
440
00:16:55,467 --> 00:16:56,759
Wow...
441
00:16:56,784 --> 00:17:00,453
so beautiful to
see a LatinX aide
442
00:17:00,478 --> 00:17:02,590
share her why with us.
443
00:17:02,825 --> 00:17:05,660
Now, please welcome to the stage
444
00:17:05,685 --> 00:17:09,271
Italian-American teacher
Melissa Schemmenti,
445
00:17:09,302 --> 00:17:12,057
who will introduce
our marquee award,
446
00:17:12,156 --> 00:17:13,487
Educator of the Year.
447
00:17:13,512 --> 00:17:16,889
Okay, even for me, this seems
incredibly performative.
448
00:17:16,914 --> 00:17:18,777
You got this, girl!
Do it for Italy!
449
00:17:19,464 --> 00:17:20,965
Got it, Ashley. Okay.
450
00:17:20,990 --> 00:17:22,741
I'm here to present
Educator of the Year
451
00:17:22,766 --> 00:17:24,725
for some God-forsaken reason.
452
00:17:24,750 --> 00:17:26,932
This trophy gets
handed out every year
453
00:17:26,957 --> 00:17:28,666
to some random jabroni,
454
00:17:28,691 --> 00:17:33,070
and this year, it's
going to... an underdog.
455
00:17:33,095 --> 00:17:35,054
When he came off
the bench last year,
456
00:17:35,079 --> 00:17:36,434
we all wrote him off,
457
00:17:36,459 --> 00:17:39,252
like some 53rd overall draft
pick in the second round.
458
00:17:39,277 --> 00:17:40,435
Yes, we did.
459
00:17:40,460 --> 00:17:42,795
But week after week, this
young man stepped up.
460
00:17:42,820 --> 00:17:45,196
And this year, he is
Abbott's first string.
461
00:17:45,221 --> 00:17:47,975
Hell, he's Offensive
Player of the Year.
462
00:17:48,063 --> 00:17:50,398
Educator. Educator
of the Year!
463
00:17:50,423 --> 00:17:51,817
We're happy to have
him on our team,
464
00:17:51,841 --> 00:17:53,174
and with him, we
can go all the way
465
00:17:53,198 --> 00:17:55,324
to the Super Bowl of learning!
466
00:17:55,349 --> 00:17:59,207
Ladies and gentlemen,
your Educator of the Year,
467
00:17:59,232 --> 00:18:02,193
Gregory Thompson Eddie!
468
00:18:11,173 --> 00:18:13,717
Wow, t-thank you, Melissa, um...
469
00:18:13,822 --> 00:18:15,739
I'm actually a Ravens fan.
470
00:18:19,685 --> 00:18:20,936
Go to hell.
471
00:18:25,686 --> 00:18:28,479
Uh, this is surreal, um...
472
00:18:28,504 --> 00:18:30,501
But realistically, I
can't accept this award.
473
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:32,027
Cameras down.
474
00:18:32,028 --> 00:18:33,684
I'll accept on his behalf.
475
00:18:33,709 --> 00:18:36,753
I can't fully accept this award
because I'm still learning.
476
00:18:36,826 --> 00:18:38,076
Cameras back up.
477
00:18:38,101 --> 00:18:39,685
As teachers, we all are.
478
00:18:39,710 --> 00:18:42,428
But every day I can
come in here and teach,
479
00:18:42,453 --> 00:18:45,251
I'm being held up
by some of the most
480
00:18:45,276 --> 00:18:48,444
incredibly deserving
teachers here at Abbott.
481
00:18:49,737 --> 00:18:52,315
This profession isn't
about being the best,
482
00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:53,924
it's about doing your best.
483
00:18:55,495 --> 00:18:57,163
Being a constant
for your students
484
00:18:57,188 --> 00:19:00,023
on the good days, the
bad, the terrible.
485
00:19:00,048 --> 00:19:01,841
It's the showing up that counts.
486
00:19:03,841 --> 00:19:06,912
Uh, so I'd like to
dedicate this award
487
00:19:06,937 --> 00:19:10,147
to all the teachers
here at Abbott
488
00:19:10,384 --> 00:19:13,836
who show up every day
and give their best.
489
00:19:16,747 --> 00:19:18,013
It's an honor to walk
through those doors
490
00:19:18,037 --> 00:19:19,495
with you every morning.
491
00:19:19,877 --> 00:19:22,807
Thank you.
492
00:19:27,629 --> 00:19:28,726
Thank you.
493
00:19:28,751 --> 00:19:33,479
And please, please give a hand
to this wonderful Black man.
494
00:19:34,832 --> 00:19:36,625
Whoo!
495
00:19:39,548 --> 00:19:40,797
How you doing?
496
00:19:40,822 --> 00:19:41,887
Better now.
497
00:19:41,912 --> 00:19:43,980
Today was tough.
498
00:19:44,005 --> 00:19:45,917
Definitely don't feel
like Teacher of the Year.
499
00:19:45,942 --> 00:19:48,235
You know, funny
enough, neither do I.
500
00:19:49,319 --> 00:19:51,905
Ah. Aide of the Year!
501
00:19:51,930 --> 00:19:53,097
Mm. Yeah.
502
00:19:53,122 --> 00:19:54,206
I know that we've always had
503
00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:55,571
a will-they-won't-they
thing going,
504
00:19:55,595 --> 00:19:57,742
but I appreciate how you've
remained professional.
505
00:19:58,752 --> 00:20:00,208
My heart is with Benito.
506
00:20:01,380 --> 00:20:02,861
Who's she talking about? Mnh.
507
00:20:03,204 --> 00:20:04,085
Ah!
508
00:20:04,110 --> 00:20:06,097
Oh, okay. Oh, wow.
509
00:20:06,122 --> 00:20:07,260
Delicious.
510
00:20:07,285 --> 00:20:09,371
Qué rico, qué rico, qué rico.
511
00:20:11,175 --> 00:20:12,759
That award is ugly as hell.
512
00:20:12,784 --> 00:20:14,480
I mean, an apple? You think?
513
00:20:14,505 --> 00:20:15,839
I'm pretty sure they
got it from Dollar Tree.
514
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,050
I bet it cost
515
00:20:17,075 --> 00:20:17,993
tree dollars.
516
00:20:18,018 --> 00:20:19,620
Shabba!
517
00:20:19,645 --> 00:20:22,804
Oh, Gregory,
I am so proud of you.
518
00:20:22,805 --> 00:20:24,013
Thank you, Janine.
519
00:20:24,014 --> 00:20:25,056
I am proud of you.
520
00:20:25,057 --> 00:20:26,336
My heart is full of love
521
00:20:26,361 --> 00:20:28,237
even though my pockets
are full of lint.
522
00:20:28,262 --> 00:20:31,444
Oh, Gregory, our
love is so pure.
523
00:20:31,469 --> 00:20:33,138
Actually,
I'm gonna go home.

We were killin' it!
525
00:20:36,153 --> 00:20:40,074
Mm. Alright, you're all logged

526
00:20:41,124 --> 00:20:43,767
Make friends and learn lots.
527
00:20:44,663 --> 00:20:46,247
Alright.
528
00:20:46,272 --> 00:20:48,032
Let's see who's teaching
this.
529
00:20:48,205 --> 00:20:49,205
Okay.
530
00:20:49,206 --> 00:20:50,498
Hello, everyone.

that hits different, no cap.
535
00:21:01,294 --> 00:21:03,665
I'll be your teacher,
but not your friend.
