0:01:17.840,0:01:21.280
right

0:01:19.119,0:01:22.479
so we’ve been doing

0:01:21.280,0:01:24.560
kind of

0:01:22.479,0:01:26.159
topical stuff some some hard-hitting

0:01:24.560,0:01:27.840
topics

0:01:26.159,0:01:30.640
from week to week here

0:01:27.840,0:01:33.040
we did miss last week we did not do a

0:01:30.640,0:01:35.840
podcast last week why did we not do a

0:01:33.040,0:01:37.680
podcast last week i had my first

0:01:35.840,0:01:41.119
marching band performance at the

0:01:37.680,0:01:43.280
football game right um our entire

0:01:41.119,0:01:45.600
schedule was disrupted last week because

0:01:43.280,0:01:49.520
of the storms that blew through

0:01:45.600,0:01:51.840
yep the remnants of hurricane ida

0:01:49.520,0:01:54.640
and we actually had a tornado blow

0:01:51.840,0:01:57.680
through our town fortunately for us it

0:01:54.640,0:01:59.200
was on the other side of town

0:01:57.680,0:02:01.680
unfortunately for the folks on the other

0:01:59.200,0:02:03.840
side of town it was on their side

0:02:01.680,0:02:06.960
but that wound up

0:02:03.840,0:02:09.360
causing some schedule disruptions

0:02:06.960,0:02:10.959
uh so we’ll talk about those

0:02:09.360,0:02:11.760
uh we’ll talk about the storm a little

0:02:10.959,0:02:14.959
bit

0:02:11.760,0:02:17.920
um we’re going to talk about

0:02:14.959,0:02:19.599
um just general things you know you this

0:02:17.920,0:02:22.239
was your first week back to school first

0:02:19.599,0:02:24.319
week in high school right so we’re going

0:02:22.239,0:02:26.080
to talk about uh

0:02:24.319,0:02:28.480
some of the stuff with schools some of

0:02:26.080,0:02:29.840
the issues you ran into

0:02:28.480,0:02:31.120
and then we’re going to talk about some

0:02:29.840,0:02:32.959
concerns

0:02:31.120,0:02:35.200
some certainly some concerns that i have

0:02:32.959,0:02:36.879
maybe some concerns that you have

0:02:35.200,0:02:38.720
and just kind of talk through some of

0:02:36.879,0:02:40.959
the stuff because it’s been kind of the

0:02:38.720,0:02:42.959
last two weeks have been kind of a

0:02:40.959,0:02:46.160
emotional rollercoaster i guess you

0:02:42.959,0:02:49.200
could say yeah so things have been crazy

0:02:46.160,0:02:51.440
hectic emotions have been running high

0:02:49.200,0:02:52.959
expectations are running high so i think

0:02:51.440,0:02:55.200
it’s tying you know it’s a good

0:02:52.959,0:02:57.200
opportunity for us to

0:02:55.200,0:02:59.599
kind of tone it down a little bit you

0:02:57.200,0:03:02.560
know usually our podcaster directed it

0:02:59.599,0:03:04.159
at our audience to try and help them out

0:03:02.560,0:03:06.080
but i think we kind of need a little

0:03:04.159,0:03:09.200
decompression

0:03:06.080,0:03:10.879
uh podcast for ourselves this week so

0:03:10.879,0:03:14.239
ourselves

0:03:12.319,0:03:15.760
and maybe our listeners can benefit from

0:03:14.239,0:03:18.400
it as well

shall we get started

0:04:16.160,0:04:23.680
we shall all right let’s do it

0:04:18.440,0:04:25.360
[Music]

0:04:23.680,0:04:27.520
so first up

0:04:25.360,0:04:28.880
one let’s talk about the storm for for a

0:04:27.520,0:04:30.639
little bit because i’ll be honest with

0:04:28.880,0:04:32.160
you i’m

0:04:30.639,0:04:34.720
personally i’m still a little freaked

0:04:32.160,0:04:37.840
out about the storm itself

0:04:34.720,0:04:38.800
so we had remnants of hurricane ida blow

0:04:37.840,0:04:40.400
through

0:04:38.800,0:04:43.919
tons and tons of rain we had flooding

0:04:40.400,0:04:46.720
all over the place but what probably had

0:04:43.919,0:04:47.919
the most direct effect on us

0:04:46.720,0:04:51.040
were

0:04:47.919,0:04:53.680
a string of tornadoes that came through

0:04:51.040,0:04:55.520
one of which came right through our town

0:04:53.680,0:04:56.800
and we happened to be huddled down in

0:04:55.520,0:04:58.560
the basement at the time like we’re

0:04:56.800,0:05:00.240
supposed to be

0:04:58.560,0:05:02.560
and um

0:05:00.240,0:05:03.680
we have security cameras outside of our

0:05:02.560,0:05:05.199
house

0:05:03.680,0:05:08.639
we have security cameras inside of our

0:05:05.199,0:05:11.360
house too but that’s a different story

0:05:08.639,0:05:13.280
um we had cameras outside our house and

0:05:11.360,0:05:15.039
when the tornado was actually blowing

0:05:13.280,0:05:17.919
through town

0:05:15.039,0:05:19.199
i could actually see the cloud mass of

0:05:17.919,0:05:20.800
the turning i couldn’t see the funnel

0:05:19.199,0:05:23.520
cloud but i could see the cloud mass of

0:05:20.800,0:05:26.080
the tordeno in the distance

0:05:23.520,0:05:27.759
while you guys were downstairs with me

0:05:26.080,0:05:28.560
wow um

0:05:27.759,0:05:30.960
which

0:05:28.560,0:05:33.680
was very scary for me what are your

0:05:30.960,0:05:35.520
impressions of having to

0:05:33.680,0:05:37.280
sit down there and listen because we had

0:05:35.520,0:05:38.400
the news on the weather was going we

0:05:37.280,0:05:40.080
were getting all the alerts on our

0:05:38.400,0:05:42.479
phones and everything

0:05:40.080,0:05:44.479
give me your impressions of of what you

0:05:42.479,0:05:47.280
thought well first of all

0:05:44.479,0:05:49.919
i’m not one for storms i normally can’t

0:05:47.280,0:05:51.360
even handle lightning storms because i

0:05:49.919,0:05:53.280
genuinely just get freaked out by

0:05:51.360,0:05:56.160
lightning and thunder

0:05:53.280,0:05:58.400
i don’t like those kinds of storms

0:05:56.160,0:06:00.720
and we had a lot of it uh during this

0:05:58.400,0:06:02.319
storm and whenever we go into the

0:06:00.720,0:06:05.120
basement

0:06:02.319,0:06:06.639
i know it’s a pretty strong storm

0:06:05.120,0:06:09.199
um

0:06:06.639,0:06:10.880
uh having to listen to the news where we

0:06:09.199,0:06:12.960
were kind of all huddled

0:06:10.880,0:06:14.720
in a way i kind of wanted to somewhat

0:06:12.960,0:06:17.280
block it out even though i knew it was

0:06:14.720,0:06:20.160
going on i kind of just wanted to keep

0:06:17.280,0:06:21.680
myself calm for the most part and to say

0:06:20.160,0:06:22.960
that everything was kind of going to be

0:06:21.680,0:06:24.880
okay

0:06:22.960,0:06:26.560
okay you know

0:06:24.880,0:06:28.800
and

0:06:26.560,0:06:31.360
were you successful

0:06:28.800,0:06:33.280
i feel i was i definitely don’t think i

0:06:31.360,0:06:34.560
definitely think it helped to keep me

0:06:33.280,0:06:36.960
calm

0:06:34.560,0:06:39.840
throughout the storm

0:06:36.960,0:06:43.039
i felt a bit better

0:06:39.840,0:06:44.400
keeping after that

0:06:43.039,0:06:46.240
and at least

0:06:44.400,0:06:48.240
although i knew what was going on i at

0:06:46.240,0:06:49.840
least tried to center my focus around

0:06:48.240,0:06:52.720
something different kind of like how i

0:06:49.840,0:06:53.759
normally do when things kind of scare me

0:06:52.720,0:06:55.759
so

0:06:53.759,0:06:59.120
well and we’ve been dealing with the

0:06:55.759,0:07:01.039
aftermath of that storm for instance

0:06:59.120,0:07:04.240
someone that i work with

0:07:01.039,0:07:07.120
uh in another nearby town their town was

0:07:04.240,0:07:09.120
hit very hard i mean entire houses

0:07:07.120,0:07:11.680
destroyed

0:07:09.120,0:07:13.840
and they had some damage to their houses

0:07:11.680,0:07:16.080
well fortunately they weren’t hurt

0:07:13.840,0:07:17.680
most of the people in their neighborhood

0:07:16.080,0:07:19.039
that were affected by it weren’t even in

0:07:17.680,0:07:22.479
their homes at the time because they

0:07:19.039,0:07:24.479
were away which was fortunate

0:07:22.479,0:07:26.479
but to see the kind of power like i’m

0:07:24.479,0:07:27.759
not big on storms either you know

0:07:26.479,0:07:28.639
there’s

0:07:27.759,0:07:31.199
i’m

0:07:28.639,0:07:32.960
i’m the type of person

0:07:31.199,0:07:34.400
i wouldn’t say i’m a control freak but i

0:07:32.960,0:07:37.039
like

0:07:34.400,0:07:37.919
i like having control over aspects of my

0:07:37.039,0:07:39.759
life

0:07:37.919,0:07:42.080
and things that are completely random

0:07:39.759,0:07:43.199
and outside of my control tend to scare

0:07:42.080,0:07:45.919
me

0:07:43.199,0:07:48.400
lightning for instance like i can take

0:07:45.919,0:07:49.919
all the precautions in the world

0:07:48.400,0:07:51.520
but if a lightning bolt’s going to hit

0:07:49.919,0:07:55.120
me there’s nothing that i can do about

0:07:51.520,0:07:57.120
it and that that randomness scares me

0:07:55.120,0:07:59.039
tornadoes are the same thing especially

0:07:57.120,0:08:00.400
as powerful because these were we

0:07:59.039,0:08:02.000
usually don’t get storms that are this

0:08:00.400,0:08:04.879
powerful yeah

0:08:02.000,0:08:06.560
and in in looking at some of the

0:08:04.879,0:08:08.240
news coverage of it after the fact that

0:08:06.560,0:08:09.759
i i had seen some really alarming

0:08:08.240,0:08:10.639
statistics

0:08:09.759,0:08:14.879
one

0:08:10.639,0:08:17.120
analysis had actually talked about

0:08:14.879,0:08:19.280
the town that was near us called mullica

0:08:17.120,0:08:21.440
hill that had gotten him the really

0:08:19.280,0:08:24.160
powerful tornado

0:08:21.440,0:08:26.960
they said the debris from the houses in

0:08:24.160,0:08:29.039
that town were thrown as far as 20 000

0:08:26.960,0:08:31.759
feet into the air

0:08:29.039,0:08:35.360
and landed in bucks county pennsylvania

0:08:31.759,0:08:37.919
which is about a 40-minute drive from us

0:08:35.360,0:08:40.560
wow that’s how powerful the storm was

0:08:37.919,0:08:42.800
that blew through so it’s really scary

0:08:40.560,0:08:45.680
thinking that something like that

0:08:42.800,0:08:47.040
came so close to us yeah

0:08:45.680,0:08:48.880
um

0:08:47.040,0:08:50.560
but fortunately like i said you know we

0:08:48.880,0:08:53.120
came out of that so

0:08:50.560,0:08:56.399
with without any any issues or anything

0:08:53.120,0:08:59.200
but it did affect stuff in town so your

0:08:56.399,0:09:01.519
first performance for marching band was

0:08:59.200,0:09:03.760
supposed to be thursday tell us what

0:09:01.519,0:09:07.200
happened with that it ended up getting

0:09:03.760,0:09:09.360
pushed back due to the weather to friday

0:09:07.200,0:09:11.839
um guessing they still had to work

0:09:09.360,0:09:13.120
things out because the storm hit us on a

0:09:11.839,0:09:14.480
when well

0:09:13.120,0:09:16.480
technically

0:09:14.480,0:09:18.480
yeah it was wednesday

0:09:16.480,0:09:20.720
um and i was technically supposed to

0:09:18.480,0:09:22.640
have another practice then but

0:09:20.720,0:09:24.800
um we ended up ducking out because we

0:09:22.640,0:09:26.320
knew the storm was coming and i guess

0:09:24.800,0:09:28.959
enough people ducked out to the point

0:09:26.320,0:09:32.320
where they completely canceled it

0:09:28.959,0:09:33.519
um and then on thursday um

0:09:32.320,0:09:35.360
around

0:09:33.519,0:09:37.920
one ish maybe

0:09:35.360,0:09:39.440
uh mommy got the notification saying

0:09:37.920,0:09:40.959
that uh

0:09:39.440,0:09:42.640
uh the uh

0:09:40.959,0:09:45.279
our first performance was moved to

0:09:42.640,0:09:46.800
friday because of the storm right

0:09:45.279,0:09:48.720
so

0:09:46.800,0:09:50.720
wednesday i had been watching the news

0:09:48.720,0:09:52.080
the weather forecast most of the

0:09:50.720,0:09:53.760
afternoon

0:09:52.080,0:09:55.680
and i had texted mommy and said look i

0:09:53.760,0:09:57.360
don’t want to send you to

0:09:55.680,0:09:58.480
marching band practice

0:09:57.360,0:10:00.480
because

0:09:58.480,0:10:01.839
the worst of the storm was going to hit

0:10:00.480,0:10:03.279
literally when you were showing up for

0:10:01.839,0:10:04.800
marching band and i didn’t want to

0:10:03.279,0:10:05.600
chance it i’d rather have you home with

0:10:04.800,0:10:07.200
us

0:10:05.600,0:10:09.680
so that’s why you didn’t go and then we

0:10:07.200,0:10:12.000
got a notification after mommy notified

0:10:09.680,0:10:13.839
your your director

0:10:12.000,0:10:15.519
that we weren’t sending you

0:10:13.839,0:10:17.040
shortly after that he sent out a

0:10:15.519,0:10:19.040
notification saying it was cancelled so

0:10:17.040,0:10:21.600
i have to assume a lot of other parents

0:10:19.040,0:10:23.920
had pulled their kids out too yeah

0:10:21.600,0:10:25.440
so they moved the football game and this

0:10:23.920,0:10:27.200
was the the

0:10:25.440,0:10:29.440
i guess opening game the first game of

0:10:27.200,0:10:31.200
the of the season for the high school

0:10:29.440,0:10:33.760
to friday

0:10:31.200,0:10:36.079
and uh you had to be there for the

0:10:33.760,0:10:37.680
early to get set up and and prep for the

0:10:36.079,0:10:40.560
game and everything

0:10:37.680,0:10:42.320
mommy and daddy went to the game which i

0:10:40.560,0:10:43.519
was you know joking around saying that’s

0:10:42.320,0:10:45.440
the first

0:10:43.519,0:10:47.120
high school football game that i’ve been

0:10:45.440,0:10:48.720
to since i was playing high school

0:10:47.120,0:10:50.640
football yeah

0:10:48.720,0:10:53.680
and it was interesting tell us what your

0:10:50.640,0:10:56.720
impression was of the performance tell

0:10:53.680,0:10:59.440
us what you did and how you liked it

0:10:56.720,0:11:01.279
so um basically

0:10:59.440,0:11:03.360
uh we were going to be playing in the

0:11:01.279,0:11:05.279
halftime show and we were only going to

0:11:03.360,0:11:06.399
be performing performing the first

0:11:05.279,0:11:08.560
movement

0:11:06.399,0:11:09.839
that was the three right yeah first of

0:11:08.560,0:11:11.839
three

0:11:09.839,0:11:13.600
uh and

0:11:11.839,0:11:16.800
um

0:11:13.600,0:11:20.240
while we were in the stands for the

0:11:16.800,0:11:22.560
first second and fourth quarter we

0:11:20.240,0:11:25.680
actually played stan tunes

0:11:22.560,0:11:27.920
which were basically just like

0:11:25.680,0:11:30.399
tunes we kind of had that we were just

0:11:27.920,0:11:33.360
gonna be playing whenever

0:11:30.399,0:11:36.240
someone scored or whenever the team like

0:11:33.360,0:11:37.360
went out and stuff like rally songs wipe

0:11:36.240,0:11:39.040
out and

0:11:37.360,0:11:40.959
you know crowd things to get the crowd

0:11:39.040,0:11:43.360
into the game yeah

0:11:40.959,0:11:46.000
okay so did you like that

0:11:43.360,0:11:48.880
yeah um i didn’t originally know all of

0:11:46.000,0:11:50.880
the songs um but it was a

0:11:48.880,0:11:52.800
nice way to keep me still kind of

0:11:50.880,0:11:55.600
invested

0:11:52.800,0:11:57.440
um and i did eventually learn start

0:11:55.600,0:11:58.880
learning a lot of them and it was

0:11:57.440,0:12:00.480
actually kind of fun

0:11:58.880,0:12:02.000
now the other thing you guys did was you

0:12:00.480,0:12:03.519
played the national anthem at the

0:12:02.000,0:12:05.200
beginning of the game too which was

0:12:03.519,0:12:07.360
really well done i have to say i was

0:12:05.200,0:12:08.800
really impressed with it yeah how did

0:12:07.360,0:12:11.120
that make you feel getting to play the

0:12:08.800,0:12:13.279
national anthem it was the first time

0:12:11.120,0:12:15.440
i’ve ever actually played it i’ve heard

0:12:13.279,0:12:16.720
it multiple times um

0:12:15.440,0:12:19.200
and that was kind of the first time i

0:12:16.720,0:12:20.880
really played it which was kind of nice

0:12:19.200,0:12:22.800
now that was the whole band there or did

0:12:20.880,0:12:24.800
you have some missing members

0:12:22.800,0:12:27.519
i’m not sure but there were a decent

0:12:24.800,0:12:30.639
amount of people so we still did stand

0:12:27.519,0:12:32.639
tunes and uh the halftime performance

0:12:30.639,0:12:34.560
so let’s talk about the halftime

0:12:32.639,0:12:37.680
performance

0:12:34.560,0:12:39.760
you guys weren’t in full uniform

0:12:37.680,0:12:41.920
how were you guys dressed and

0:12:39.760,0:12:44.959
how did the whole performance go they’d

0:12:41.920,0:12:46.800
given us uh marching band polos and told

0:12:44.959,0:12:48.639
us to wear black pants and black shoes

0:12:46.800,0:12:50.000
if we had them

0:12:48.639,0:12:51.920
um

0:12:50.000,0:12:53.680
so that was kind of the uniform we had

0:12:51.920,0:12:57.360
we also had a shirts tucked in to make

0:12:53.680,0:12:58.880
us look slightly more um in form which

0:12:57.360,0:13:01.760
i gotta say i actually kind of like the

0:12:58.880,0:13:03.360
polo yeah you looked really good in it

0:13:01.760,0:13:06.560
so everyone looked really good it’s a

0:13:03.360,0:13:09.760
nice looking uh shirt yeah

0:13:06.560,0:13:11.920
um so preparing for uh the halftime show

0:13:09.760,0:13:13.600
we actually went back behind the stands

0:13:11.920,0:13:16.399
and did uh

0:13:13.600,0:13:18.399
some warm-up uh songs and then we kind

0:13:16.399,0:13:21.360
of got in line with

0:13:18.399,0:13:23.600
partners for an ark because we had

0:13:21.360,0:13:26.000
spaced it out before

0:13:23.600,0:13:28.560
uh we were tuned

0:13:26.000,0:13:29.680
then by the time they said they told us

0:13:28.560,0:13:32.639
to come out

0:13:29.680,0:13:34.880
we went into the ark in a unified form

0:13:32.639,0:13:37.600
um played

0:13:34.880,0:13:38.639
one of the lip slurs and then went into

0:13:37.600,0:13:39.680
um

0:13:38.639,0:13:40.959
getting ready for the halftime

0:13:39.680,0:13:43.279
performance

0:13:40.959,0:13:45.279
now mommy and i both had an opportunity

0:13:43.279,0:13:47.680
to watch from the stands

0:13:45.279,0:13:49.440
uh the halftime performance and it looks

0:13:47.680,0:13:52.240
like you guys get about 12 minutes to

0:13:49.440,0:13:54.399
perform at half time

0:13:52.240,0:13:56.079
and

0:13:54.399,0:13:57.760
didn’t take obviously since you were

0:13:56.079,0:13:59.199
only performing one of the one of the

0:13:57.760,0:14:00.880
three movements you didn’t take up the

0:13:59.199,0:14:02.720
whole time

0:14:00.880,0:14:04.160
and the it was what was amazing really

0:14:02.720,0:14:05.600
was watching the picture get all that

0:14:04.160,0:14:07.360
equipment out there and get set up in

0:14:05.600,0:14:09.920
such a short time it literally looked

0:14:07.360,0:14:13.120
like a pick for what a nascar race

0:14:09.920,0:14:15.440
uh so total props to the the pickfru for

0:14:13.120,0:14:17.519
the dedication they had there yeah and i

0:14:15.440,0:14:20.240
remember how long it would take for them

0:14:17.519,0:14:21.839
to set up normally whenever we when we

0:14:20.240,0:14:23.680
had actually

0:14:21.839,0:14:27.040
uh performed it

0:14:23.680,0:14:28.160
uh together with pitt um on tuesday so

0:14:27.040,0:14:29.680
how do you how did you like the

0:14:28.160,0:14:31.680
performance do you think you guys did

0:14:29.680,0:14:33.040
well do you think you need

0:14:31.680,0:14:34.959
improvement do you think you’re ready

0:14:33.040,0:14:36.639
for show time at this point

0:14:34.959,0:14:39.120
i mean it was only the first movement

0:14:36.639,0:14:40.959
and i definitely say i think we could

0:14:39.120,0:14:42.399
have done better but overall for our

0:14:40.959,0:14:43.680
first performance i don’t think it was

0:14:42.399,0:14:45.360
all that bad

0:14:43.680,0:14:46.800
was there anything in particular that

0:14:45.360,0:14:48.560
you found

0:14:46.800,0:14:49.920
challenging or difficult like did you

0:14:48.560,0:14:51.360
have

0:14:49.920,0:14:53.040
this is the first time you performed in

0:14:51.360,0:14:54.800
front of an audience right

0:14:53.040,0:14:56.560
how was that i mean that’s usually the

0:14:54.800,0:14:57.680
biggest challenge in that first

0:14:56.560,0:15:01.120
performance

0:14:57.680,0:15:02.959
yeah um i tried at my best not to really

0:15:01.120,0:15:05.440
think about it too much and kind of just

0:15:02.959,0:15:07.600
go through the sets in my head

0:15:05.440,0:15:09.600
which definitely did help um i

0:15:07.600,0:15:12.880
definitely had to try like staying in

0:15:09.600,0:15:14.720
form for the entire time um it’ll be

0:15:12.880,0:15:16.480
interesting to see how we put the entire

0:15:14.720,0:15:18.079
show together because

0:15:16.480,0:15:20.000
you know you kind of need the endurance

0:15:18.079,0:15:22.480
to do it the entire time

0:15:20.000,0:15:25.680
yeah yeah the closest thing i think i’ve

0:15:22.480,0:15:27.040
ever had was performing in concert choir

0:15:25.680,0:15:28.560
in high school

0:15:27.040,0:15:31.279
and the advantage that i had was that

0:15:28.560,0:15:33.040
was always indoors in the auditorium so

0:15:31.279,0:15:34.560
when you’re up on stage they’ve got all

0:15:33.040,0:15:36.240
the stage lights on you so you can’t

0:15:34.560,0:15:37.759
even see the audience you’re so blinded

0:15:36.240,0:15:39.440
by the light

0:15:37.759,0:15:41.440
so you know they’re out there but you

0:15:39.440,0:15:43.279
don’t see them so you don’t get as

0:15:41.440,0:15:45.120
nervous i think

0:15:43.279,0:15:46.240
but you guys don’t have that advantage i

0:15:45.120,0:15:48.000
mean you guys are out there in the

0:15:46.240,0:15:49.600
middle of the field you’ve got an

0:15:48.000,0:15:52.240
audience behind you you’ve got an

0:15:49.600,0:15:54.800
audience in front of you

0:15:52.240,0:15:55.759
did the did the band director give you

0:15:54.800,0:15:58.399
any

0:15:55.759,0:16:00.160
suggestions or ways to handle the

0:15:58.399,0:16:02.560
nervousness or anything like that did he

0:16:00.160,0:16:04.800
anticipate that i think he just told us

0:16:02.560,0:16:06.880
he never really like specifically said

0:16:04.800,0:16:08.320
it’s he’s just like make sure you

0:16:06.880,0:16:10.480
perform this that’s right and that’s

0:16:08.320,0:16:12.160
kind of it so just just sort of stick to

0:16:10.480,0:16:14.959
the planning you should be fine and to

0:16:12.160,0:16:17.360
be honest like the

0:16:14.959,0:16:19.440
the amount of like

0:16:17.360,0:16:21.040
stuff we need to think about whenever

0:16:19.440,0:16:23.120
we’re moving like getting into the right

0:16:21.040,0:16:24.959
sets using the right step size is making

0:16:23.120,0:16:26.800
sure you’re playing the music it was

0:16:24.959,0:16:28.639
enough to make us kind of stop thinking

0:16:26.800,0:16:30.480
of it was enough to at least make me

0:16:28.639,0:16:32.480
kind of stop thinking about the audience

0:16:30.480,0:16:34.800
that was there and kind of it was just a

0:16:32.480,0:16:36.720
regular performance that’s good i mean

0:16:34.800,0:16:38.079
so it’s almost automatic for you at that

0:16:36.720,0:16:40.160
point because your brain’s trying to do

0:16:38.079,0:16:41.519
so many things at once yeah

0:16:40.160,0:16:43.680
did you have fun

0:16:41.519,0:16:45.519
yeah i did um

0:16:43.680,0:16:48.320
i was really my legs were kind of

0:16:45.519,0:16:50.959
shaking um in the beginning and it

0:16:48.320,0:16:53.680
honestly went by quicker than i expected

0:16:50.959,0:16:55.839
so did anything unexpected happen or did

0:16:53.680,0:16:59.040
it kind of go sort of like you expected

0:16:55.839,0:17:01.199
it to it went all right um no one

0:16:59.040,0:17:04.079
tripped or got hit which

0:17:01.199,0:17:05.439
uh they actually said was a big feat um

0:17:04.079,0:17:07.600
for the first

0:17:05.439,0:17:09.679
uh performance especially considering

0:17:07.600,0:17:11.360
the fact this was like the

0:17:09.679,0:17:14.880
this is like the earliest they’ve ever

0:17:11.360,0:17:16.880
performed right right um so that was

0:17:14.880,0:17:18.400
just the first time the entire band was

0:17:16.880,0:17:19.600
together doing everything at once

0:17:18.400,0:17:21.360
because i know color garbage is out

0:17:19.600,0:17:23.120
there with you too right yeah color

0:17:21.360,0:17:25.760
guard had actually been with us a couple

0:17:23.120,0:17:27.919
of times and pitt was only with us for

0:17:25.760,0:17:29.679
uh tuesday i believe

0:17:27.919,0:17:31.120
um

0:17:29.679,0:17:33.280
so

0:17:31.120,0:17:36.080
so we had done it like once we had done

0:17:33.280,0:17:37.600
it like a couple times all together but

0:17:36.080,0:17:40.320
it was nice doing it in front of the

0:17:37.600,0:17:41.679
audience nice nice so it sounds like it

0:17:40.320,0:17:44.640
was overall it was a pretty good

0:17:41.679,0:17:45.919
experience then yeah sweet

0:17:44.640,0:17:47.280

welcome back to insights into teens

0:19:04.320,0:19:09.520
we’re going off the cuff today talking a

0:19:06.720,0:19:11.679
little bit about last couple of weeks in

0:19:09.520,0:19:13.440
kind of taking it easy this week so

0:19:11.679,0:19:15.440
let’s talk a little about back to school

0:19:13.440,0:19:17.679
this was your first week back to school

0:19:15.440,0:19:19.200
you started on tuesday

0:19:17.679,0:19:21.120
um

0:19:19.200,0:19:23.280
how did it start out give us give us an

0:19:21.120,0:19:25.679
idea of how it started out

0:19:23.280,0:19:29.520
so we kind of started out a bit more

0:19:25.679,0:19:31.919
chaotic than i wanted so first of all

0:19:29.520,0:19:34.160
um we were going to be emailed our bus

0:19:31.919,0:19:35.840
passes um

0:19:34.160,0:19:37.440
so that you know we knew what time to

0:19:35.840,0:19:39.200
get on the bus and what bus we were

0:19:37.440,0:19:42.080
taking

0:19:39.200,0:19:44.720
but mommy never got the email

0:19:42.080,0:19:47.039
right and we believe it’s because

0:19:44.720,0:19:49.039
she didn’t fill out one of the forms on

0:19:47.039,0:19:51.280
genesis that she didn’t even get a

0:19:49.039,0:19:52.960
notification that she had which was the

0:19:51.280,0:19:54.320
last all right it was a last-minute form

0:19:52.960,0:19:55.679
and she never got notified that she had

0:19:54.320,0:19:57.919
to fill it out

0:19:55.679,0:20:00.000
yeah so it was kind of

0:19:57.919,0:20:01.760
we were kind of worried on monday but

0:20:00.000,0:20:03.760
the good thing was we actually had a

0:20:01.760,0:20:06.799
neighbor who was also in high school so

0:20:03.760,0:20:08.799
we went to them we got the time and we

0:20:06.799,0:20:10.000
figured hey everything was going to be

0:20:08.799,0:20:13.600
okay

0:20:10.000,0:20:14.720
so um i woke up we got prepared we went

0:20:13.600,0:20:15.600
out

0:20:14.720,0:20:18.320
and

0:20:15.600,0:20:20.400
we and um basically whenever i would go

0:20:18.320,0:20:21.840
to the bus at least when i was in middle

0:20:20.400,0:20:22.799
school

0:20:21.840,0:20:24.720
she

0:20:22.799,0:20:26.480
mommy would drive me up and i would just

0:20:24.720,0:20:29.919
stand at the bus stop

0:20:26.480,0:20:32.240
so me and the other kid donovan um

0:20:29.919,0:20:34.000
were kind of just sitting

0:20:32.240,0:20:36.240
kind of just standing out there waiting

0:20:34.000,0:20:37.360
for our bus to come by

0:20:36.240,0:20:40.159
um

0:20:37.360,0:20:41.440
and a few minutes go by to the point

0:20:40.159,0:20:42.960
where

0:20:41.440,0:20:45.440
we kind of realize it’s getting a bit

0:20:42.960,0:20:47.120
late it’s getting close to seven around

0:20:45.440,0:20:49.039
the time that i was supposed that i’m

0:20:47.120,0:20:51.039
supposed to be in school

0:20:49.039,0:20:54.080
um and donovan ends up actually going to

0:20:51.039,0:20:56.799
my mom saying that apparently um he had

0:20:54.080,0:20:59.200
a friend who was also on the same bus

0:20:56.799,0:21:01.360
um and he texted like

0:20:59.200,0:21:03.520
what’s going on and he’s and his friend

0:21:01.360,0:21:04.880
said that he was already at school oh

0:21:03.520,0:21:06.080
boy

0:21:04.880,0:21:08.159
so

0:21:06.080,0:21:10.559
we missed the bus kind of

0:21:08.159,0:21:12.880
okay so mommy but there was a bus at

0:21:10.559,0:21:15.760
some point yeah okay

0:21:12.880,0:21:18.400
so basically uh the good thing was mommy

0:21:15.760,0:21:19.919
was off that day so she was able to just

0:21:18.400,0:21:23.840
drop me off

0:21:19.919,0:21:25.600
um and apparently we weren’t the only uh

0:21:23.840,0:21:26.640
we weren’t the only ones who experienced

0:21:25.600,0:21:30.480
that

0:21:26.640,0:21:32.320
in fact traffic was jammed with people

0:21:30.480,0:21:34.720
dropping their kids off

0:21:32.320,0:21:35.919
so but your buff ride home was okay

0:21:34.720,0:21:38.559
right you didn’t have any problems with

0:21:35.919,0:21:41.120
that well

0:21:38.559,0:21:43.120
i was able to get home but i did kind of

0:21:41.120,0:21:45.200
have some issues

0:21:43.120,0:21:48.159
so during phys ed which was my last

0:21:45.200,0:21:50.480
period i decided that i needed to go and

0:21:48.159,0:21:52.080
find out which bus i was gonna take home

0:21:50.480,0:21:54.559
and i wasn’t the only kid there were

0:21:52.080,0:21:55.600
three other kids who also were having

0:21:54.559,0:21:56.840
issues

0:21:55.600,0:21:59.679
so

0:21:56.840,0:22:02.880
um uh all three of us went over to the

0:21:59.679,0:22:05.360
guidance office and um we’re hoping to

0:22:02.880,0:22:08.000
get our bus pass

0:22:05.360,0:22:10.080
but apparently we had to come earlier to

0:22:08.000,0:22:12.640
get our bus passes

0:22:10.080,0:22:14.880
and like they couldn’t give it to us at

0:22:12.640,0:22:17.440
the end of the day and when after the

0:22:14.880,0:22:19.760
bell rang they said go to the bus

0:22:17.440,0:22:22.720
drivers and ask if they’re if they stop

0:22:19.760,0:22:24.880
on your stop so you had to go survey the

0:22:22.720,0:22:28.799
bus drivers to see if they stop at your

0:22:24.880,0:22:31.440
bus stop yeah um but the good thing

0:22:28.799,0:22:34.559
what a disorganized mess

0:22:31.440,0:22:37.440
uh but the good thing was um i

0:22:34.559,0:22:40.400
mommy had heard from donovan uh that

0:22:37.440,0:22:43.120
d10 was the bus he was supposed to take

0:22:40.400,0:22:45.039
so when i’d found d10 i asked if they

0:22:43.120,0:22:47.520
had stopped on my bus i didn’t ask any

0:22:45.039,0:22:50.559
of the other ones they said yes and i

0:22:47.520,0:22:52.880
was able to get on and get home wow

0:22:50.559,0:22:55.039
so that was day one well at least with

0:22:52.880,0:22:57.840
the buses so that was day one with the

0:22:55.039,0:23:01.600
buses has have the buses been okay since

0:22:57.840,0:23:03.600
then yeah um i learned that i learned

0:23:01.600,0:23:06.320
yesterday

0:23:03.600,0:23:10.159
that so donovan uh was supposed to get

0:23:06.320,0:23:11.840
picked up around 6 35 um it sat on this

0:23:10.159,0:23:15.039
bus pass

0:23:11.840,0:23:16.960
apparently they pick us up at 6 25.

0:23:15.039,0:23:18.559
that’s a significant difference

0:23:16.960,0:23:21.120
yeah

0:23:18.559,0:23:23.520
that’s 10 minutes different like did you

0:23:21.120,0:23:25.760
expect them to get like they’re like 10

0:23:23.520,0:23:27.440
minutes earlier than the actual time

0:23:25.760,0:23:29.760
apparently they do

0:23:27.440,0:23:32.000
yeah okay

0:23:29.760,0:23:35.120
so steady bus schedule now at least

0:23:32.000,0:23:38.000
right yeah um i’m able to take the bus

0:23:35.120,0:23:40.480
i was able to get take the pus to school

0:23:38.000,0:23:41.919
for yesterday and today and i’ve been

0:23:40.480,0:23:44.880
able to take it home

0:23:41.919,0:23:46.080
each day okay so hopefully that problem

0:23:44.880,0:23:48.320
is solved

0:23:46.080,0:23:50.320
so what was your overall impression so

0:23:48.320,0:23:51.919
far this week so you’ve got three days

0:23:50.320,0:23:53.840
under your belt now

0:23:51.919,0:23:55.760
how has been how’s it been

0:23:53.840,0:23:56.880
um

0:23:55.760,0:23:59.200
i think i’m

0:23:56.880,0:24:02.720
um it’s been

0:23:59.200,0:24:05.520
all right i’m not

0:24:02.720,0:24:07.919
i

0:24:05.520,0:24:10.720
it’s kind of complicated of course it is

0:24:07.919,0:24:12.799
it’s high school i mean yeah

0:24:10.720,0:24:14.320
um

0:24:12.799,0:24:15.919
we’ll get to the issues in the next

0:24:14.320,0:24:18.880
segment but what’s your initial

0:24:15.919,0:24:21.760
impression is it manageable is it

0:24:18.880,0:24:23.520
overwhelming is it scary is it

0:24:21.760,0:24:24.640
straightforward what’s your first

0:24:23.520,0:24:25.600
impression

0:24:24.640,0:24:27.360
uh

0:24:25.600,0:24:29.520
it sounds like it

0:24:27.360,0:24:31.120
is manageable for right now but that

0:24:29.520,0:24:32.640
it’s probably gonna get a bit harder

0:24:31.120,0:24:34.400
later on

0:24:32.640,0:24:37.440
and that’s probably what’s going to

0:24:34.400,0:24:39.840
happen which is typical yeah or do you

0:24:37.440,0:24:41.679
have any immediate concerns about any of

0:24:39.840,0:24:42.640
your classes

0:24:41.679,0:24:45.200
um

0:24:42.640,0:24:47.760
just from first impressions

0:24:45.200,0:24:49.600
uh

0:24:47.760,0:24:50.960
i know your spanish class has some

0:24:49.600,0:24:54.159
interesting

0:24:50.960,0:24:55.279
hall pass rules tell us about those

0:24:54.159,0:24:56.720
um

0:24:55.279,0:24:59.440
so that’s kind of one of the only

0:24:56.720,0:25:01.200
classes that has mentioned it so far

0:24:59.440,0:25:04.720
apparently you’re only allowed to go to

0:25:01.200,0:25:07.520
the bathroom once a week in their class

0:25:04.720,0:25:09.679
what kind of prison rules is that

0:25:07.520,0:25:10.559
yeah and we were like given

0:25:09.679,0:25:12.960
uh

0:25:10.559,0:25:14.640
passes and we only have six passes for

0:25:12.960,0:25:16.559
the marking period

0:25:14.640,0:25:18.480
can you like sell them on ebay and make

0:25:16.559,0:25:20.720
money or something off of them i mean at

0:25:18.480,0:25:22.880
the end of the mocking period if we have

0:25:20.720,0:25:25.760
at least one that’s not checked off we

0:25:22.880,0:25:28.799
get five extra credit points so i guess

0:25:25.760,0:25:31.039
we kind of make something from it that’s

0:25:28.799,0:25:32.880
that’s a little draconian there

0:25:31.039,0:25:34.720
a little bit i can’t believe they’re

0:25:32.880,0:25:37.600
they’re going that route

0:25:34.720,0:25:40.080
i mean yeah i did for spanish class like

0:25:37.600,0:25:42.640
it’s not even a class that’s like like

0:25:40.080,0:25:44.080
physics or like your advanced math it’s

0:25:42.640,0:25:45.600
spanish class

0:25:44.080,0:25:47.840
it’s like i think your spanish teacher’s

0:25:45.600,0:25:50.080
taking her job a little too seriously

0:25:47.840,0:25:50.080
there

0:25:50.640,0:25:54.400
anyway

0:25:51.760,0:25:56.000
so what about concert band what happened

0:25:54.400,0:25:57.360
with concert band let’s talk about that

0:25:56.000,0:25:59.279
a little bit

0:25:57.360,0:26:02.000
yeah

0:25:59.279,0:26:03.200
concert band ain’t gonna happen this

0:26:02.000,0:26:05.120
year

0:26:03.200,0:26:07.520
so this one i kind of got a little ride

0:26:05.120,0:26:09.360
off about on yeah so

0:26:07.520,0:26:11.760
you were told from your guidance

0:26:09.360,0:26:13.679
counselor last year that if you wanted

0:26:11.760,0:26:15.440
to be in concert band

0:26:13.679,0:26:16.720
you would have to sacrifice your lunch

0:26:15.440,0:26:17.760
because it would be would be done at

0:26:16.720,0:26:19.440
your lunch

0:26:17.760,0:26:20.559
so when you got your schedule a couple

0:26:19.440,0:26:22.799
weeks ago

0:26:20.559,0:26:25.919
you didn’t have concert band but you did

0:26:22.799,0:26:27.679
have lunch so mommy reached out found

0:26:25.919,0:26:29.679
out that well you couldn’t have concert

0:26:27.679,0:26:31.919
band because it was the last period of

0:26:29.679,0:26:35.760
the day and that’s your gym period uh

0:26:31.919,0:26:36.559
that no that was physics physics physics

0:26:35.760,0:26:37.840
and

0:26:36.559,0:26:39.679
there wasn’t anything they could do

0:26:37.840,0:26:43.039
about it

0:26:39.679,0:26:43.039
and i thought that was kind of

0:26:43.360,0:26:46.559
unfair

0:26:44.720,0:26:48.320
you know the fact that that you were

0:26:46.559,0:26:49.440
told one thing and then something else

0:26:48.320,0:26:52.720
happened

0:26:49.440,0:26:55.200
so i wrote a

0:26:52.720,0:26:58.080
let’s call it passionate letter

0:26:55.200,0:27:00.480
to your guidance counselor and to the

0:26:58.080,0:27:03.039
administrative staff of the school

0:27:00.480,0:27:04.840
to which i’ve still not gotten an

0:27:03.039,0:27:07.600
acknowledgement a

0:27:04.840,0:27:10.320
reply they’ve not told me off they’ve

0:27:07.600,0:27:11.840
not gotten i’ve not gotten anything

0:27:10.320,0:27:14.720
which tells me that

0:27:11.840,0:27:17.200
as open and

0:27:14.720,0:27:20.399
interested in communication as they

0:27:17.200,0:27:22.000
pretended to be during orientation

0:27:20.399,0:27:23.520
they don’t want to hear about problems

0:27:22.000,0:27:25.039
they only want to get pats on the back

0:27:23.520,0:27:27.039
apparently

0:27:25.039,0:27:28.080
so i’m guessing that’s how school’s

0:27:27.039,0:27:29.760
going to go

0:27:28.080,0:27:31.120
and we’re just going to have to deal

0:27:29.760,0:27:33.039
with it at this point in time and i’ll

0:27:31.120,0:27:35.760
have to find some other way maybe i have

0:27:33.039,0:27:37.840
to reach out to the board of education

0:27:35.760,0:27:39.120
instead of the principle and the vice

0:27:37.840,0:27:41.520
principles since i’m not getting

0:27:39.120,0:27:42.559
anything from them

0:27:41.520,0:27:44.159
so

0:27:42.559,0:27:45.919
well you know i just

0:27:44.159,0:27:48.159
it was worth mentioning that this was

0:27:45.919,0:27:49.679
something that you were supposed to get

0:27:48.159,0:27:52.240
you didn’t get

0:27:49.679,0:27:53.440
um and the the one thing

0:27:52.240,0:27:56.159
the

0:27:53.440,0:27:59.039
the reason you didn’t get it

0:27:56.159,0:28:00.799
became glaringly obvious when we went to

0:27:59.039,0:28:04.240
orientation

0:28:00.799,0:28:05.279
and how there’s almost zero focus on the

0:28:04.240,0:28:06.559
arts

0:28:05.279,0:28:08.960
from the school

0:28:06.559,0:28:12.960
and everybody seems to be focused on

0:28:08.960,0:28:13.919
scholastic or focused on athletics

0:28:12.960,0:28:16.640
which

0:28:13.919,0:28:18.480
really is a terrible disservice to the

0:28:16.640,0:28:21.919
students of that school

0:28:18.480,0:28:24.080
because the likelihood of kids

0:28:21.919,0:28:26.760
making anything out of themselves from a

0:28:24.080,0:28:28.480
scholastic standpoint is statistically

0:28:26.760,0:28:31.360
insignificant

0:28:28.480,0:28:33.760
from a professional standpoint

0:28:31.360,0:28:35.679
compared to scholastic

0:28:33.760,0:28:37.440
or compared to

0:28:35.679,0:28:40.399
a career in the arts

0:28:37.440,0:28:42.399
you are infinitely more likely

0:28:40.399,0:28:43.279
to achieve

0:28:42.399,0:28:45.039
a

0:28:43.279,0:28:47.360
measure of professional

0:28:45.039,0:28:49.200
success in the arts than you are as a

0:28:47.360,0:28:50.799
professional athlete

0:28:49.200,0:28:52.559
and the only reason the school is

0:28:50.799,0:28:54.960
focused on athletics is because the

0:28:52.559,0:28:56.960
school it’s a money maker for the school

0:28:54.960,0:28:59.279
and they’re basically selling the kids

0:28:56.960,0:29:01.440
education and future down the line so

0:28:59.279,0:29:04.640
they can make a few bucks off of them

0:29:01.440,0:29:06.080
and it was very evident in the

0:29:04.640,0:29:08.640
orientation

0:29:06.080,0:29:10.240
when the athletic program

0:29:08.640,0:29:12.559
got like

0:29:10.240,0:29:15.200
eight slides and you had

0:29:12.559,0:29:17.120
maybe one or two slides that they just

0:29:15.200,0:29:20.080
sort of blew through

0:29:17.120,0:29:22.799
for the arts side of things and it was

0:29:20.080,0:29:24.880
kind of an afterthought yeah and kind of

0:29:22.799,0:29:27.679
thinking about it i remember that they

0:29:24.880,0:29:30.720
said um they actually had a completely

0:29:27.679,0:29:32.799
new like weights um area

0:29:30.720,0:29:35.120
that was made for the school

0:29:32.799,0:29:37.520
and yet in marching band we have to make

0:29:35.120,0:29:39.520
donations for the student account yeah

0:29:37.520,0:29:41.679
and that’s that’s the terrible thing you

0:29:39.520,0:29:42.640
look at the school you have a new turf

0:29:41.679,0:29:46.720
field

0:29:42.640,0:29:49.120
you have a new weight room you have

0:29:46.720,0:29:51.919
two gyms do you have

0:29:49.120,0:29:53.600
and what do you have for a band room

0:29:51.919,0:29:55.840
like it’s smaller than the one i had in

0:29:53.600,0:30:00.159
middle school which is which is

0:29:55.840,0:30:01.679
ridiculous absolutely ridiculous and

0:30:00.159,0:30:04.159
this isn’t the first time that i’m going

0:30:01.679,0:30:05.760
to complain about this and i suspect

0:30:04.159,0:30:09.440
that i’m going to be sending numerous

0:30:05.760,0:30:11.760
letters and going to student going to

0:30:09.440,0:30:11.760
boards

0:30:12.000,0:30:16.640
parent teacher meetings and school board

0:30:13.760,0:30:18.480
meetings to talk about this because

0:30:16.640,0:30:20.799
what this school system is doing to

0:30:18.480,0:30:22.480
their students is a crime

0:30:20.799,0:30:24.399
it really is

0:30:22.480,0:30:26.559
but anyway i won’t get on the on my

0:30:24.399,0:30:28.320
soapbox about that here

0:30:26.559,0:30:30.000
although i already did but let’s come

0:30:28.320,0:30:32.080
back off the soapbox

0:30:30.000,0:30:34.240
let’s talk about having friends in your

0:30:32.080,0:30:35.279
classes so you made a lot of friends in

0:30:34.240,0:30:38.399
band

0:30:35.279,0:30:39.679
which was very helpful this summer

0:30:38.399,0:30:41.600
kind of gave you a little bit of a head

0:30:39.679,0:30:44.000
start going into school

0:30:41.600,0:30:46.320
how are you doing with uh friends per

0:30:44.000,0:30:47.600
class at this point in time

0:30:46.320,0:30:51.200
well

0:30:47.600,0:30:54.320
i have someone who has seven classes

0:30:51.200,0:30:55.919
of the same ones as me at the same time

0:30:54.320,0:30:58.080
that’s pretty impressive

0:30:55.919,0:31:00.320
i mean yeah that’s never really happened

0:30:58.080,0:31:02.960
before like

0:31:00.320,0:31:04.720
i have period one period three and by

0:31:02.960,0:31:07.279
the time we have lunch and fifth period

0:31:04.720,0:31:08.799
we have all the same classes right you

0:31:07.279,0:31:11.360
basically are going to the same place

0:31:08.799,0:31:11.360
after lunch

0:31:11.519,0:31:13.760
buddy now

0:31:12.559,0:31:14.559
yeah

0:31:13.760,0:31:16.159
um

0:31:14.559,0:31:18.159
and i guess being in the engineering

0:31:16.159,0:31:20.399
program kind of does give me the

0:31:18.159,0:31:23.279
advantage of kind of having

0:31:20.399,0:31:24.320
the same people in my classes because

0:31:23.279,0:31:26.880
i have

0:31:24.320,0:31:29.360
at because i because in three of my

0:31:26.880,0:31:31.600
classes i have like three i like have

0:31:29.360,0:31:33.519
the same class coming with me

0:31:31.600,0:31:35.919
in at least three of my classes so so

0:31:33.519,0:31:37.360
how do you think that’s gonna um help

0:31:35.919,0:31:39.440
you out throughout the year i know

0:31:37.360,0:31:41.279
you’ve had it in is it

0:31:39.440,0:31:44.000
let’s see if i can talk

0:31:41.279,0:31:45.039
i know in the past you’ve had issues

0:31:44.000,0:31:47.519
with

0:31:45.039,0:31:49.679
being the only person in class that you

0:31:47.519,0:31:52.640
knew like you didn’t know anybody else

0:31:49.679,0:31:54.559
and you found that difficult fitting in

0:31:52.640,0:31:57.440
getting put in teens with people you

0:31:54.559,0:31:59.760
didn’t know and stuff like that

0:31:57.440,0:32:01.760
how does it help when you’re in classes

0:31:59.760,0:32:03.519
with people that you know or at least

0:32:01.760,0:32:06.000
when you’re in

0:32:03.519,0:32:08.559
a class with new people but those new

0:32:06.000,0:32:10.480
people are in multiple classes with you

0:32:08.559,0:32:12.880
do you find that comforting at all do

0:32:10.480,0:32:15.120
you find it helpful yeah that sounds

0:32:12.880,0:32:17.919
pretty comforting um especially

0:32:15.120,0:32:21.039
considering the fact that um

0:32:17.919,0:32:24.159
i definitely feel like i’m in

0:32:21.039,0:32:26.799
place with them um and

0:32:24.159,0:32:29.120
i know that we kind of go through

0:32:26.799,0:32:31.120
similar experiences

0:32:29.120,0:32:33.679
we have similar classes

0:32:31.120,0:32:36.240
so um i definitely it’s definitely

0:32:33.679,0:32:38.159
pretty comforting to know that um

0:32:36.240,0:32:40.640
i kind of have buddies that i might be

0:32:38.159,0:32:42.559
able to stick with that’s nice and you

0:32:40.640,0:32:45.120
know in the event that at some point in

0:32:42.559,0:32:46.799
time you get sick or they get sick you

0:32:45.120,0:32:48.720
just need to exchange contact

0:32:46.799,0:32:51.440
information you can bring homework

0:32:48.720,0:32:54.000
assignments back and forth for them

0:32:51.440,0:32:55.919
you can you can have uh study time with

0:32:54.000,0:32:58.080
them it makes it so much easier when

0:32:55.919,0:33:00.320
you’ve got a group of people that

0:32:58.080,0:33:01.760
you know that you have common ground

0:33:00.320,0:33:04.320
with there

0:33:01.760,0:33:05.919
and you can ease into subjects or

0:33:04.320,0:33:07.679
you may run into a situation where you

0:33:05.919,0:33:08.960
get a lesson one day and you just don’t

0:33:07.679,0:33:10.240
get it

0:33:08.960,0:33:11.600
one of the other kids that you’re

0:33:10.240,0:33:14.000
friends with does and you can get

0:33:11.600,0:33:15.840
together with them and it alleviates a

0:33:14.000,0:33:18.159
lot of that anxiety that you were having

0:33:15.840,0:33:19.919
before like you were having issues

0:33:18.159,0:33:22.559
with one or two of your

0:33:19.919,0:33:25.279
uh subjects i know math last year where

0:33:22.559,0:33:26.080
you you had a lesson that was given in

0:33:25.279,0:33:28.320
you

0:33:26.080,0:33:29.440
you didn’t get it on the first take and

0:33:28.320,0:33:31.679
a lot of that had to do with the

0:33:29.440,0:33:34.080
barriers that you were running into

0:33:31.679,0:33:35.919
being remote yeah and you didn’t have

0:33:34.080,0:33:38.480
anyone to turn to like mommy or daddy

0:33:35.919,0:33:41.120
wouldn’t have been much help to having

0:33:38.480,0:33:43.679
that school that that supply that

0:33:41.120,0:33:44.799
support system in place there is is

0:33:43.679,0:33:46.640
something that’s going to help along

0:33:44.799,0:33:49.120
those lines

0:33:46.640,0:33:52.960
and the other question i have was

0:33:49.120,0:33:55.200
how different is it for you being or is

0:33:52.960,0:33:56.480
it different for you being in school now

0:33:55.200,0:33:58.000
with students

0:33:56.480,0:33:59.919
rather than the remote learning you did

0:33:58.000,0:34:01.200
for the last year and a half

0:33:59.919,0:34:03.279
it is

0:34:01.200,0:34:04.840
pretty different because

0:34:03.279,0:34:07.600
even when we had

0:34:04.840,0:34:10.560
like calls um

0:34:07.600,0:34:13.359
video calls it didn’t really feel like i

0:34:10.560,0:34:15.280
was really part of a class all that much

0:34:13.359,0:34:17.839
all we did was really comment for the

0:34:15.280,0:34:20.159
most part no one really ever wanted to

0:34:17.839,0:34:22.800
show their faces other than the teachers

0:34:20.159,0:34:24.720
and no one really like

0:34:22.800,0:34:26.960
turned off their mic on

0:34:24.720,0:34:28.560
well besides in gym

0:34:26.960,0:34:30.320
so do you think

0:34:28.560,0:34:33.280
what you have now is a better

0:34:30.320,0:34:35.440
environment to be learning in

0:34:33.280,0:34:37.599
maybe maybe not i’m not entirely sure

0:34:35.440,0:34:41.119
right now it might be better

0:34:37.599,0:34:42.960
jory’s still out on that one then i mean

0:34:41.119,0:34:44.560
i didn’t i wasn’t one of the people who

0:34:42.960,0:34:46.720
really had much of a problem for the

0:34:44.560,0:34:48.960
most part with remote learning

0:34:46.720,0:34:51.359
um and now having to go into physical

0:34:48.960,0:34:53.440
learning i don’t think it won’t it will

0:34:51.359,0:34:56.320
be that much of a problem but you know

0:34:53.440,0:34:58.640
it’s still early sure okay

0:34:56.320,0:34:59.839
the last question i had was how is your

0:34:58.640,0:35:02.160
schedule

0:34:59.839,0:35:04.800
i know the one big concern kids have

0:35:02.160,0:35:06.400
every year is where are my classes and

0:35:04.800,0:35:08.160
am i going from

0:35:06.400,0:35:10.240
one side of the campus to the other

0:35:08.160,0:35:12.320
every time i have to change classes

0:35:10.240,0:35:14.839
how’s your class scheduling now is it

0:35:12.320,0:35:17.839
space to the point where

0:35:14.839,0:35:19.760
you’re not able to get from class to

0:35:17.839,0:35:21.440
class in the amount of time a lot of

0:35:19.760,0:35:23.359
time between classes or do you think

0:35:21.440,0:35:25.280
it’s pretty well balanced down i

0:35:23.359,0:35:27.119
honestly think it’s pretty well balanced

0:35:25.280,0:35:30.480
out i go from

0:35:27.119,0:35:32.240
one hallway to another hallway that’s

0:35:30.480,0:35:34.560
actually very close to each other and

0:35:32.240,0:35:38.079
it’s not that far of a distance then i

0:35:34.560,0:35:40.400
go upstairs and i have two classes that

0:35:38.079,0:35:42.079
are in the same hallway and really

0:35:40.400,0:35:43.200
doesn’t take all that much time to get

0:35:42.079,0:35:46.400
there

0:35:43.200,0:35:49.359
and the only like commitments i need to

0:35:46.400,0:35:51.599
really have are when i go to gym

0:35:49.359,0:35:54.800
or when i go to the cafeteria mainly

0:35:51.599,0:35:57.040
because of how crowded it can get okay

0:35:54.800,0:35:59.599
well it doesn’t sound so bad but even

0:35:57.040,0:36:02.560
then it’s not that it’s not actually

0:35:59.599,0:36:04.960
that bad it’s just you know it takes a

0:36:02.560,0:36:07.280
little longer to get there right

0:36:04.960,0:36:10.079
well i know the last year that you were

0:36:07.280,0:36:12.160
in your other middle school

0:36:10.079,0:36:14.160
you were kind of run ragged around that

0:36:12.160,0:36:16.720
school because you’re up you were down

0:36:14.160,0:36:18.240
you were across you were back and

0:36:16.720,0:36:20.240
you had a couple of classes where you

0:36:18.240,0:36:22.079
really had to to book it to get across

0:36:20.240,0:36:23.920
to the next class

0:36:22.079,0:36:26.480
yeah specifically

0:36:23.920,0:36:27.359
um after i would have lunch

0:36:26.480,0:36:29.520
um

0:36:27.359,0:36:32.000
and after i had gym

0:36:29.520,0:36:35.680
were probably the times where it’s like

0:36:32.000,0:36:37.839
oh gosh this is really so no hanukkah

0:36:35.680,0:36:40.320
dash is like that in this school

0:36:37.839,0:36:43.200
yeah um and it’s nice that i physed at

0:36:40.320,0:36:45.520
the very end yeah um because

0:36:43.200,0:36:47.839
when i was in seventh grade i had it at

0:36:45.520,0:36:50.000
seventh period and then i had ela for

0:36:47.839,0:36:51.520
the last two periods

0:36:50.000,0:36:55.040
and um

0:36:51.520,0:36:57.359
having and my ela class was all the way

0:36:55.040,0:36:59.520
upstairs and all the way at the end of

0:36:57.359,0:37:00.320
the hallway and i came out this door

0:36:59.520,0:37:02.800
right

0:37:00.320,0:37:05.760
so that was the longest commitment and i

0:37:02.800,0:37:07.760
was always and for the most part i was

0:37:05.760,0:37:10.240
like almost

0:37:07.760,0:37:12.480
i was like very close to having the bell

0:37:10.240,0:37:13.839
like ring but the nice thing is in uh

0:37:12.480,0:37:15.200
high school you actually have four

0:37:13.839,0:37:18.400
minutes to get to your classes as

0:37:15.200,0:37:20.400
opposed to two right so it’s

0:37:18.400,0:37:22.800
easier to get to my class in the amount

0:37:20.400,0:37:24.800
of time good that’s good

0:37:22.800,0:37:26.560
so let’s take another break we’ll come

0:37:24.800,0:37:31.480
back and we’re going to talk about some

0:37:26.560,0:37:31.480

welcome back to insights into teens we

0:38:43.440,0:38:48.079
are talking back to school little off

0:38:46.000,0:38:49.440
the cuff discussion here

0:38:48.079,0:38:50.640
and a little catch up for the last two

0:38:49.440,0:38:52.640
weeks we’re going to talk about some of

0:38:50.640,0:38:54.000
the concerns and issues we have moving

0:38:52.640,0:38:55.440
forward

0:38:54.000,0:38:58.160
and probably the biggest one that i

0:38:55.440,0:39:01.119
think i have and one that i was hoping

0:38:58.160,0:39:04.480
that you’d you’d kind of give me the

0:39:01.119,0:39:06.800
4-1-1 on the the information on

0:39:04.480,0:39:09.040
do you feel safe with the precautions at

0:39:06.800,0:39:10.640
school now for covid

0:39:09.040,0:39:12.160
that’s one that we had talked about that

0:39:10.640,0:39:14.880
you’re going to kind of have to assess

0:39:12.160,0:39:16.079
and what’s your initial assessment

0:39:14.880,0:39:18.960
well

0:39:16.079,0:39:21.200
the good thing is everyone is they make

0:39:18.960,0:39:23.440
sure that everyone’s wearing their masks

0:39:21.200,0:39:24.960
properly which is nice

0:39:23.440,0:39:26.960
you’re only ever allowed to take your

0:39:24.960,0:39:28.720
mask off if you’re actively eating

0:39:26.960,0:39:30.400
actively playing an instrument or

0:39:28.720,0:39:32.480
actively in gym

0:39:30.400,0:39:33.920
okay which one

0:39:32.480,0:39:36.720
that’s something

0:39:33.920,0:39:36.720
yeah um

0:39:36.960,0:39:42.640
uh we’re having assigned seating so that

0:39:39.920,0:39:44.880
um everyone knows

0:39:42.640,0:39:47.680
um that they’re in the same seat and you

0:39:44.880,0:39:49.599
know for cover precautions so that um

0:39:47.680,0:39:51.119
everyone just stays in the same seat

0:39:49.599,0:39:53.520
every day

0:39:51.119,0:39:55.440
uh what about overcrowding how’s the

0:39:53.520,0:39:56.960
crowding in there are you bumping into

0:39:55.440,0:39:58.720
people in

0:39:56.960,0:40:01.119
class are you spread out in class are

0:39:58.720,0:40:02.240
you are you tight in the hallways how’s

0:40:01.119,0:40:04.240
the

0:40:02.240,0:40:06.240
overall crowding in there

0:40:04.240,0:40:09.040
in the hallways it’s a bit tight in the

0:40:06.240,0:40:11.359
classroom it’s not really as tight um

0:40:09.040,0:40:13.359
and the classrooms are spaced out okay

0:40:11.359,0:40:15.920
what about you think you had an assembly

0:40:13.359,0:40:18.640
already how was the assembly

0:40:15.920,0:40:19.599
kind of crammed not gonna lie

0:40:18.640,0:40:22.000
like

0:40:19.599,0:40:24.800
we were crammed into one area in the

0:40:22.000,0:40:27.200
auditorium the center and all the seats

0:40:24.800,0:40:29.280
were filled and how did that make you

0:40:27.200,0:40:30.240
feel did you have a sense of anxiety

0:40:29.280,0:40:32.640
from that

0:40:30.240,0:40:35.040
kind of because i knew this really

0:40:32.640,0:40:37.040
wasn’t coveted approved i don’t know why

0:40:35.040,0:40:39.760
they didn’t space us out all that much

0:40:37.040,0:40:41.280
did you say anything to anybody

0:40:39.760,0:40:43.119
um

0:40:41.280,0:40:44.160
i wasn’t able to

0:40:43.119,0:40:46.400
um

0:40:44.160,0:40:48.319
i just like i mean i said it out loud

0:40:46.400,0:40:51.760
but i don’t really think anyone heard me

0:40:48.319,0:40:53.440
because everyone else was talking so

0:40:51.760,0:40:56.000
all right this this is something i

0:40:53.440,0:40:57.599
definitely wanted to talk about

0:40:56.000,0:40:59.680
i don’t want you to be put in a

0:40:57.599,0:41:00.720
situation where you feel unsafe at

0:40:59.680,0:41:02.480
school

0:41:00.720,0:41:03.440
so if you’re in a situation like that

0:41:02.480,0:41:05.599
and they’re

0:41:03.440,0:41:06.640
asking you to sit or stand or do

0:41:05.599,0:41:08.640
something

0:41:06.640,0:41:10.800
and you don’t feel safe

0:41:08.640,0:41:12.160
then you need to tell

0:41:10.800,0:41:14.240
a teacher

0:41:12.160,0:41:16.720
or you need to tell a staff member or

0:41:14.240,0:41:18.880
something like that how you feel

0:41:16.720,0:41:20.560
i don’t want you to be shy about it

0:41:18.880,0:41:22.319
because i’ll guarantee that there’s

0:41:20.560,0:41:24.400
probably a lot of other kids that feel

0:41:22.319,0:41:25.839
the same way and they’re afraid to say

0:41:24.400,0:41:29.119
anything

0:41:25.839,0:41:30.400
and if you speak up and set the example

0:41:29.119,0:41:33.200
and let them know that what they’re

0:41:30.400,0:41:35.119
doing is making the kids feel unsafe

0:41:33.200,0:41:37.040
you can set the right example from day

0:41:35.119,0:41:39.040
one right there

0:41:37.040,0:41:41.760
you’re not gonna get in trouble for it

0:41:39.040,0:41:43.200
trust me if if they even try to get you

0:41:41.760,0:41:44.800
in trouble for that

0:41:43.200,0:41:47.119
they’re gonna get a lot more than a

0:41:44.800,0:41:51.599
nasty letter from me

0:41:47.119,0:41:54.160
all right i will back you up 110 on that

0:41:51.599,0:41:56.960
you need to feel safe you know what is

0:41:54.160,0:41:58.880
safe you’re well aware of what the cdc

0:41:56.960,0:42:00.400
guidelines are

0:41:58.880,0:42:02.240
you don’t know how many of those kids

0:42:00.400,0:42:03.760
have been vaccinated

0:42:02.240,0:42:05.680
just because you’re wearing a mask

0:42:03.760,0:42:07.760
doesn’t mean you’re safe being shoulder

0:42:05.680,0:42:09.440
to shoulder with people

0:42:07.760,0:42:12.319
so i don’t want you to feel any

0:42:09.440,0:42:14.160
hesitation whatsoever of going up saying

0:42:12.319,0:42:15.440
hey mr so-and-so

0:42:14.160,0:42:17.760
i don’t feel comfortable in this

0:42:15.440,0:42:20.960
situation i’m too close to other people

0:42:17.760,0:42:22.720
during a pandemic can i space out

0:42:20.960,0:42:24.319
can i move someplace else can i sit

0:42:22.720,0:42:27.920
someplace a little bit further away can

0:42:24.319,0:42:30.480
i sit someplace safer i don’t feel safe

0:42:27.920,0:42:32.400
and make sure you say those exact words

0:42:30.480,0:42:33.760
i don’t feel safe

0:42:32.400,0:42:37.200
because if they don’t do anything at

0:42:33.760,0:42:39.599
that point then they’re legally liable

0:42:37.200,0:42:41.760
so you need to let them know

0:42:39.599,0:42:45.839
you feel that your safety is threatened

0:42:41.760,0:42:46.960
by what they’re trying to do okay

0:42:45.839,0:42:49.359
so

0:42:46.960,0:42:51.119
don’t ever hesitate to do that

0:42:49.359,0:42:53.359
and then we’ll see how they react to

0:42:51.119,0:42:55.599
that and if they react properly kudos to

0:42:53.359,0:42:57.599
them if they don’t

0:42:55.599,0:43:00.319
well if they don’t

0:42:57.599,0:43:02.400
i i have an overwhelming sense of pity

0:43:00.319,0:43:04.880
for them if they don’t

0:43:02.400,0:43:06.880
because i will rain fire down on them if

0:43:04.880,0:43:08.640
they don’t

0:43:06.880,0:43:10.560
because you and every other one of those

0:43:08.640,0:43:12.400
children need to be safe

0:43:10.560,0:43:13.839
you’ve already gotten notifications from

0:43:12.400,0:43:15.920
the school system

0:43:13.839,0:43:17.680
about covet infections

0:43:15.920,0:43:20.560
and if they’re doing stuff like that and

0:43:17.680,0:43:21.760
they’re acting stupid like that

0:43:20.560,0:43:23.680
then they need to be called on the

0:43:21.760,0:43:24.560
carpet and they need to make sure that

0:43:23.680,0:43:26.400
they’re

0:43:24.560,0:43:28.560
keeping these kids safe

0:43:26.400,0:43:31.520
because i will not send you to school if

0:43:28.560,0:43:32.480
they are refusing to keep you safe

0:43:31.520,0:43:34.880
all right

0:43:32.480,0:43:37.040
yeah neither mommy or i we will both

0:43:34.880,0:43:40.400
back you up on that

0:43:37.040,0:43:41.839
110 percent

0:43:40.400,0:43:43.520
so

0:43:41.839,0:43:45.599
make sure you speak up

0:43:43.520,0:43:47.440
you set that example

0:43:45.599,0:43:48.640
and you let them deal with it at that

0:43:47.440,0:43:50.880
point in time

0:43:48.640,0:43:52.800
and i’ll guarantee you there will be

0:43:50.880,0:43:54.400
other kids tons of other kids are going

0:43:52.800,0:43:56.160
to feel the same way and they’re going

0:43:54.400,0:43:57.920
to be glad that you’ve got the courage

0:43:56.160,0:43:59.520
to do that

0:43:57.920,0:44:02.000
all right so let’s just keep that in

0:43:59.520,0:44:04.240
mind in the back of our mind

0:44:02.000,0:44:06.560
besides that do they have cleaning

0:44:04.240,0:44:08.640
supplies available do they have barriers

0:44:06.560,0:44:10.480
up talk to me about some of the the

0:44:08.640,0:44:12.880
protocols that they have

0:44:10.480,0:44:14.319
they do have cleaning supplies that you

0:44:12.880,0:44:16.880
can use

0:44:14.319,0:44:18.000
um but they don’t have any barriers up

0:44:16.880,0:44:19.839
okay

0:44:18.000,0:44:22.560
so are you cleaning

0:44:19.839,0:44:24.560
yeah okay what about hand sanitizing uh

0:44:22.560,0:44:27.200
they do have hand sanitizer but i did

0:44:24.560,0:44:28.319
bring my own so i kind of used that good

0:44:27.200,0:44:30.319
girl

0:44:28.319,0:44:32.319
how are the bathrooms are the bathrooms

0:44:30.319,0:44:35.520
being cleaned

0:44:32.319,0:44:38.640
um i don’t know i haven’t really gone in

0:44:35.520,0:44:40.800
the bathroom what about water fountains

0:44:38.640,0:44:41.839
are they opening in use

0:44:40.800,0:44:44.720
um

0:44:41.839,0:44:46.560
i believe so but you’re not using them

0:44:44.720,0:44:48.240
right no okay

0:44:46.560,0:44:50.720
do you have a water bottle that you can

0:44:48.240,0:44:52.720
fill up and keep with you yeah i could

0:44:50.720,0:44:54.400
okay i do that’s the best thing to do

0:44:52.720,0:44:55.920
then yeah

0:44:54.400,0:44:58.960
and the nice thing is they do allow

0:44:55.920,0:45:01.440
water bottles um which is nice i’ve seen

0:44:58.960,0:45:02.480
other kids have water bottles right well

0:45:01.440,0:45:05.040
because i know they were giving them out

0:45:02.480,0:45:06.079
of the orientation as a as the prize

0:45:05.040,0:45:08.000
yeah

0:45:06.079,0:45:09.839
okay so that’s that’s okay is there

0:45:08.000,0:45:11.599
anything else that’s happening that

0:45:09.839,0:45:14.079
makes you feel unsafe or that you’re

0:45:11.599,0:45:15.200
questioning from a a crovid protocol

0:45:14.079,0:45:17.680
standpoint

0:45:15.200,0:45:20.000
that would probably be the bus’s home

0:45:17.680,0:45:21.440
okay it’s extremely crowded in there to

0:45:20.000,0:45:23.680
the point where the three suitors

0:45:21.440,0:45:25.440
actually have to fit three people and

0:45:23.680,0:45:27.520
the two seaters actually have to fit two

0:45:25.440,0:45:29.359
people and like

0:45:27.520,0:45:32.240
like mommy said with little kids you can

0:45:29.359,0:45:35.119
kind of fit three people in there but

0:45:32.240,0:45:37.359
with high schoolers you really can’t

0:45:35.119,0:45:40.079
right and um

0:45:37.359,0:45:42.880
the good thing was me and kenny um are

0:45:40.079,0:45:45.760
able to just sit in the three seater

0:45:42.880,0:45:47.680
and not really have to have three people

0:45:45.760,0:45:50.319
which is nice because we kind of space

0:45:47.680,0:45:53.359
each other ourselves from each other um

0:45:50.319,0:45:55.280
so at least i feel safe from that

0:45:53.359,0:45:59.280
but like

0:45:55.280,0:46:01.680
there are a lot of people on that bus

0:45:59.280,0:46:04.400
and it’s extremely crammed

0:46:01.680,0:46:05.839
so are there hand sanitizers or wipes or

0:46:04.400,0:46:08.960
anything on the bus

0:46:05.839,0:46:10.560
i can’t tell you can’t tell okay

0:46:08.960,0:46:12.839
are they ventilating the bus are there

0:46:10.560,0:46:15.839
windows down how is the bus

0:46:12.839,0:46:18.560
ventilation um

0:46:15.839,0:46:21.440
i think you can put the windows down um

0:46:18.560,0:46:23.440
i’m not entirely sure i’ve

0:46:21.440,0:46:25.040
never really paid too much attention to

0:46:23.440,0:46:26.480
it okay

0:46:25.040,0:46:28.640
all right these are things that mommy

0:46:26.480,0:46:30.560
and i are gonna have to address

0:46:28.640,0:46:31.680
will will certainly make our concerns

0:46:30.560,0:46:34.640
known

0:46:31.680,0:46:35.100
any other coveted related concerns

0:46:34.640,0:46:36.640
um

0:46:35.100,0:46:39.599
[Music]

0:46:36.640,0:46:41.680
i think that’s mostly it okay

0:46:39.599,0:46:44.720
so how about the schedule how are you

0:46:41.680,0:46:46.319
holding up are you tired are you

0:46:44.720,0:46:47.680
you have enough energy you’re getting

0:46:46.319,0:46:49.680
enough sleep

0:46:47.680,0:46:50.960
what’s going on with your your sleep

0:46:49.680,0:46:51.920
patterns

0:46:50.960,0:46:53.839
um

0:46:51.920,0:46:57.599
i’ve started getting used to it at this

0:46:53.839,0:47:01.359
point um it’s not insanely bad i’ve

0:46:57.599,0:47:04.079
gotten i’ve been getting good sleep

0:47:01.359,0:47:07.440
um and i’ve been

0:47:04.079,0:47:10.000
having enough energy during the day so

0:47:07.440,0:47:12.480
um i think so far with my sleep schedule

0:47:10.000,0:47:14.319
it’s been all right um so how about even

0:47:12.480,0:47:17.520
the nights that you’ve got band practice

0:47:14.319,0:47:17.520
how is that on you

0:47:17.760,0:47:21.440
uh

0:47:20.000,0:47:23.280
i definitely think

0:47:21.440,0:47:24.480
that’s gonna be a bit of a challenge to

0:47:23.280,0:47:26.960
work through

0:47:24.480,0:47:28.800
because when i came home on wednesday i

0:47:26.960,0:47:29.680
wasn’t really feeling all that well

0:47:28.800,0:47:31.440
right

0:47:29.680,0:47:33.119
um so

0:47:31.440,0:47:36.000
that might be something we have to look

0:47:33.119,0:47:37.440
for look for okay um

0:47:36.000,0:47:39.359
we’ll have to keep an eye on that and

0:47:37.440,0:47:41.680
see what we what we can do to adjust

0:47:39.359,0:47:43.839
that was it just that you were tired and

0:47:41.680,0:47:45.680
exhausted was it heat did you not get

0:47:43.839,0:47:47.920
enough to drink you think

0:47:45.680,0:47:50.640
um i felt like i had a decent amount to

0:47:47.920,0:47:53.440
drink it wasn’t too hot out i might not

0:47:50.640,0:47:55.839
have had enough energy at the time and

0:47:53.440,0:47:58.640
i guess just the fact that

0:47:55.839,0:48:01.040
we had to pretty much do the same stuff

0:47:58.640,0:48:02.480
over and over again kind of got tiring

0:48:01.040,0:48:05.200
at the point where

0:48:02.480,0:48:07.599
i kind of just didn’t really have the

0:48:05.200,0:48:08.960
energy i started completely losing it

0:48:07.599,0:48:10.880
faster

0:48:08.960,0:48:13.040
more mental exhaustion that led to

0:48:10.880,0:48:14.480
physical exhaustion yeah you know the

0:48:13.040,0:48:15.280
repetitiveness i could see that all

0:48:14.480,0:48:18.160
right

0:48:15.280,0:48:20.480
but we’ll definitely keep an eye on that

0:48:18.160,0:48:22.480
uh how much are classes do you like your

0:48:20.480,0:48:24.800
teachers

0:48:22.480,0:48:26.800
mostly mostly that’s a vote of

0:48:24.800,0:48:29.200
confidence

0:48:26.800,0:48:31.440
the only one i’m not really all that

0:48:29.200,0:48:32.640
fond of right now don’t mention too much

0:48:31.440,0:48:34.319
in here because you never know who

0:48:32.640,0:48:36.000
watches the podcast or listen to the

0:48:34.319,0:48:38.160
podcast true

0:48:36.000,0:48:40.480
there is one teacher i’m not necessarily

0:48:38.160,0:48:42.480
fond of they take their job a bit too

0:48:40.480,0:48:44.720
seriously i think

0:48:42.480,0:48:46.880
okay to the point where

0:48:44.720,0:48:48.720
they have our first assignment on friday

0:48:46.880,0:48:50.880
where none of my other teachers really

0:48:48.720,0:48:53.200
have that right now okay

0:48:50.880,0:48:54.160
and like it was an easy assignment it’s

0:48:53.200,0:48:56.079
just

0:48:54.160,0:48:58.000
do you really have to be that hard on us

0:48:56.079,0:49:00.160
this early maybe they’re just trying to

0:48:58.000,0:49:02.319
set that pace up for you that you’re

0:49:00.160,0:49:03.599
going they’re gonna drive you and

0:49:02.319,0:49:05.359
there’s nothing wrong with being

0:49:03.599,0:49:07.440
challenged

0:49:05.359,0:49:10.640
if they do it with unrealistic

0:49:07.440,0:49:12.480
expectations then we have a problem

0:49:10.640,0:49:14.319
but i don’t think it’s unrealistic to

0:49:12.480,0:49:16.480
expect kids to turn in an assignment

0:49:14.319,0:49:18.720
after the first week of school

0:49:16.480,0:49:20.559
it kind of gives the teacher you know

0:49:18.720,0:49:24.160
kind of lets the teacher set the bar too

0:49:20.559,0:49:25.119
as as to what to expect for these kids

0:49:24.160,0:49:27.760
all right

0:49:25.119,0:49:29.359
so not too bad there what about

0:49:27.760,0:49:31.200
the curriculum have you run into

0:49:29.359,0:49:32.800
anything with the curriculum yet that’s

0:49:31.200,0:49:35.119
concerning to you

0:49:32.800,0:49:35.119
uh

0:49:35.760,0:49:40.000
i just know i’m gonna be expecting a lot

0:49:37.680,0:49:42.160
of work and with marching band that

0:49:40.000,0:49:44.079
might be difficult i guess i’ll just you

0:49:42.160,0:49:46.480
know have to deal with it yeah well in

0:49:44.079,0:49:49.119
marching bands not all year so you you

0:49:46.480,0:49:51.520
know if you can look at it this way

0:49:49.119,0:49:53.520
if you can deal with the workload while

0:49:51.520,0:49:54.880
you’re in marching band for the first

0:49:53.520,0:49:56.640
couple of months

0:49:54.880,0:49:58.960
then you’ll be able to breeze through

0:49:56.640,0:50:00.319
with the rest of the year yeah so this

0:49:58.960,0:50:01.920
is going to be the probably the most

0:50:00.319,0:50:03.440
difficult part

0:50:01.920,0:50:04.720
of the year for you

0:50:03.440,0:50:05.920
so we’ve got to keep an eye on it and

0:50:04.720,0:50:08.160
make sure that you’re okay and you’re

0:50:05.920,0:50:10.000
staying up on everything

0:50:08.160,0:50:12.400
it’s a test and we’ll see how you pass

0:50:10.000,0:50:13.440
the test okay

0:50:12.400,0:50:15.680
um

0:50:13.440,0:50:17.599
chromebooks so you guys are switching

0:50:15.680,0:50:21.359
the chromebooks this year

0:50:17.599,0:50:23.200
um no textbooks some textbooks well you

0:50:21.359,0:50:24.480
they still have the textbooks in case

0:50:23.200,0:50:26.640
you need them but they’re not giving

0:50:24.480,0:50:28.319
them out so you literally just go from

0:50:26.640,0:50:30.000
classic fans with a chromebook and what

0:50:28.319,0:50:32.480
a notebook or two

0:50:30.000,0:50:34.240
yeah and like some stuff for like

0:50:32.480,0:50:36.640
binders and stuff

0:50:34.240,0:50:37.599
how are you adjusting to that

0:50:36.640,0:50:39.440
um

0:50:37.599,0:50:42.400
it’s nice not having to carry around

0:50:39.440,0:50:45.200
giant books all day right um still kind

0:50:42.400,0:50:47.359
of have a heavy bag but it’s not as

0:50:45.200,0:50:50.960
heavy as it would have been if i did

0:50:47.359,0:50:52.240
have those like five pound books okay

0:50:50.960,0:50:53.520
are you comfortable using the

0:50:52.240,0:50:56.079
chromebooks

0:50:53.520,0:50:58.160
i i feel so um

0:50:56.079,0:51:00.720
it’s definitely not my actual laptop

0:50:58.160,0:51:02.480
which i’m actually using at home because

0:51:00.720,0:51:04.079
you don’t want to have this connect to

0:51:02.480,0:51:05.680
the in my chromebook connect to the

0:51:04.079,0:51:07.119
internet here well we can get you

0:51:05.680,0:51:08.319
connected here if you have stuff on

0:51:07.119,0:51:10.000
there you need to work with so don’t

0:51:08.319,0:51:11.280
worry about that okay we’ll get you

0:51:10.000,0:51:13.599
connected

0:51:11.280,0:51:13.599
um

0:51:13.839,0:51:18.079
no no issues technology wise though

0:51:16.480,0:51:19.760
using it if you’re comfortable with it

0:51:18.079,0:51:22.640
the interface is okay

0:51:19.760,0:51:25.280
yeah it’s fine it’s just it just feels

0:51:22.640,0:51:27.200
like a smaller screen than you’d kind of

0:51:25.280,0:51:30.240
expect because like

0:51:27.200,0:51:33.680
with my engineering and cad classes we

0:51:30.240,0:51:36.480
actually have legitimate computers

0:51:33.680,0:51:39.599
right um which with a much larger screen

0:51:36.480,0:51:42.240
that while the keyboard’s kind of clunky

0:51:39.599,0:51:44.640
it’s actually a lot easier to see

0:51:42.240,0:51:46.240
but the chromebook gets kind of small

0:51:44.640,0:51:47.839
okay

0:51:46.240,0:51:49.599
well and we we might be able to work

0:51:47.839,0:51:52.000
around that here if we have to i can’t

0:51:49.599,0:51:53.680
do much for you in class but it’s all

0:51:52.000,0:51:56.079
right we might be able to work around

0:51:53.680,0:51:58.240
with the with it here for homework and

0:51:56.079,0:52:00.400
stuff like that yeah but overall using

0:51:58.240,0:52:02.319
it at school i feel is

0:52:00.400,0:52:03.760
fine yeah well that’s good i didn’t

0:52:02.319,0:52:05.440
think it would be too big of a leap

0:52:03.760,0:52:07.359
since you were kind of homeschooling on

0:52:05.440,0:52:09.680
a computer the last two and a half at

0:52:07.359,0:52:11.520
least year and a half anyway so

0:52:09.680,0:52:13.520
using your chromebooks a bit of a

0:52:11.520,0:52:14.640
learning curve because of the operating

0:52:13.520,0:52:16.640
system but

0:52:14.640,0:52:20.000
good i’m glad it wasn’t it wasn’t a big

0:52:16.640,0:52:22.800
concern um what other concerns or issues

0:52:20.000,0:52:24.020
do you have that we haven’t talked about

0:52:22.800,0:52:27.349
um

0:52:24.020,0:52:27.349
[Music]

0:52:30.559,0:52:37.599
any personality conflicts you’ve had any

0:52:34.800,0:52:39.760
no bullying at this point i assume

0:52:37.599,0:52:40.800
no no bullying has been happening i’ve

0:52:39.760,0:52:43.440
never really

0:52:40.800,0:52:45.359
interacted all that much with

0:52:43.440,0:52:46.720
some of the people so

0:52:45.359,0:52:48.240
how about marching band do you have a

0:52:46.720,0:52:49.839
lot of marching band kids in your

0:52:48.240,0:52:52.559
classes

0:52:49.839,0:52:55.440
um not

0:52:52.559,0:52:57.359
some but not a lot okay

0:52:55.440,0:52:58.880
are there any other concerns about

0:52:57.359,0:53:01.530
school that you have at this point in

0:52:58.880,0:53:04.800
time

0:53:01.530,0:53:06.400
[Music]

0:53:04.800,0:53:08.960
doesn’t sound like there’s anything

0:53:06.400,0:53:08.960
pressing

0:53:09.280,0:53:15.520
yeah which is kind of surprising i’m

0:53:12.079,0:53:18.480
still kind of waiting to see how things

0:53:15.520,0:53:19.520
go well it’s it’s very early you know i

0:53:18.480,0:53:21.520
think the

0:53:19.520,0:53:23.920
my main purpose of of

0:53:21.520,0:53:25.119
the podcast today was kind of just feel

0:53:23.920,0:53:26.480
things out and get your initial

0:53:25.119,0:53:29.839
impressions and

0:53:26.480,0:53:31.440
address any concerns that you might have

0:53:29.839,0:53:32.960
you know we’ll certainly check in we’d

0:53:31.440,0:53:34.960
like to do it as a podcast but we’ll

0:53:32.960,0:53:37.760
check in throughout the

0:53:34.960,0:53:39.760
year as we move on and as problems creep

0:53:37.760,0:53:42.079
up we’ll figure them out and we’ll deal

0:53:39.760,0:53:44.079
with them that’s what we do you know

0:53:42.079,0:53:46.079
there isn’t anything that that we can’t

0:53:44.079,0:53:48.000
address and take care of we we take care

0:53:46.079,0:53:50.160
of it all

0:53:48.000,0:53:52.000
so i that’s all i had i mean i just

0:53:50.160,0:53:54.000
threw together some some quick notes and

0:53:52.000,0:53:55.839
some questions that i had

0:53:54.000,0:53:57.200
uh we’ll take a quick break and we’ll

0:53:55.839,0:53:58.960
come back and we’ll get your closing

0:53:57.200,0:54:00.960
thoughts on on

0:53:58.960,0:54:02.000
how school start the school start of

0:54:00.960,0:54:03.599
school is

0:54:02.000,0:54:05.200
or anything else you want to talk about

0:54:03.599,0:54:06.079
so your show you can talk about whatever

0:54:05.200,0:54:09.640
you want

0:54:06.079,0:54:09.640
we’ll be right back

0:54:12.079,0:54:15.599
go with your closing remarks all right

0:54:14.640,0:54:17.599
so

0:54:15.599,0:54:20.240
i know this podcast really doesn’t have

0:54:17.599,0:54:21.839
all that much of a message to it it was

0:54:20.240,0:54:23.680
kind of just a

0:54:21.839,0:54:26.400
hey let’s check in and see how the last

0:54:23.680,0:54:29.440
two weeks have been um

0:54:26.400,0:54:30.960
but yeah i’ve started school and

0:54:29.440,0:54:32.800
i’m probably gonna have to deal with a

0:54:30.960,0:54:35.520
lot of stuff that

0:54:32.800,0:54:37.760
hopefully we can try relating to

0:54:35.520,0:54:39.839
everyone at home um

0:54:37.760,0:54:40.640
i at least hope that this

0:54:39.839,0:54:43.119
is

0:54:40.640,0:54:44.240
was at least somewhat helpful if not at

0:54:43.119,0:54:46.720
least

0:54:44.240,0:54:49.440
you enjoyed watching um

0:54:46.720,0:54:53.359
i at least hope this was an okay podcast

0:54:49.440,0:54:55.520
after not being here for a week okay

0:54:53.359,0:54:57.359
i would say there was sage words but

0:54:55.520,0:54:58.799
really that was just you summing things

0:54:57.359,0:55:00.000
up

0:54:58.799,0:55:02.319
yeah

0:55:00.000,0:55:04.079
um i think a lot of kids out there that

0:55:02.319,0:55:07.040
might be watching the podcast have gone

0:55:04.079,0:55:09.119
through similar things as you uh start

0:55:07.040,0:55:12.720
of school is always kind of a

0:55:09.119,0:55:14.160
nervous time a high a heightened emotion

0:55:12.720,0:55:16.000
time

0:55:14.160,0:55:17.920
lots of new things especially going into

0:55:16.000,0:55:19.760
high school for the first time you know

0:55:17.920,0:55:22.240
this will be the first and only time you

0:55:19.760,0:55:24.240
ever have to do this yeah high school is

0:55:22.240,0:55:27.119
all downhill from here

0:55:24.240,0:55:29.440
that’s the best way to look at it yeah

0:55:27.119,0:55:32.400
um so that was all we had before we do
