I am gonna kill this speech,
girl. [ Chuckles ]
177
00:05:56,982 --> 00:05:59,317
I'm so happy I let the teachers
talk me into doing it.
178
00:05:59,317 --> 00:06:03,488
I'm, like, actually working on
it and enjoying it.
179
00:06:03,488 --> 00:06:06,449
Ava, this is my son's doctor
on the phone.
180
00:06:06,449 --> 00:06:10,328
Oh, damn, girl. Take that.
What are you doing?
181
00:06:10,328 --> 00:06:13,373
Ava:
I just feel... validated.
182
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:16,334
I always do things my way
and people don't always like it.
183
00:06:16,334 --> 00:06:18,295
But the district
has seen my methods
184
00:06:18,295 --> 00:06:20,046
and they want the madness.
185
00:06:20,046 --> 00:06:22,632
They want... the Ava-lanche.
186
00:06:22,632 --> 00:06:24,551
Really?
187
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:26,261
Isn't this more of a job
for a maintenance man?
188
00:06:26,261 --> 00:06:28,263
Or a woman.
But you're right.
189
00:06:28,263 --> 00:06:29,848
It is.
190
00:06:29,848 --> 00:06:31,975
Guys, I was just
at the deli,
191
00:06:31,975 --> 00:06:34,227
and everyone in there
is so sad.
192
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:37,314
But also so fired up
that I had the thought...
193
00:06:37,314 --> 00:06:39,149
what if we activate
the neighborhood?
194
00:06:39,149 --> 00:06:40,817
What if we don't, though?
195
00:06:40,817 --> 00:06:43,069
Yeah, we could canvass
and inform and--
196
00:06:43,069 --> 00:06:44,404
Yeah, you know what?
197
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:46,197
We could go
and pay a little visit
198
00:06:46,197 --> 00:06:48,325
to the University City
location.
199
00:06:48,325 --> 00:06:50,410
You know, convince them
maybe setting up
200
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:52,662
in a different neighborhood
is a good idea.
201
00:06:52,662 --> 00:06:54,164
And I will come
along with you
202
00:06:54,164 --> 00:06:55,915
because I have
a few choice words for
203
00:06:55,915 --> 00:06:57,417
Fruit, There It Is.
204
00:06:57,417 --> 00:07:00,337
Yes, I love it!
Okay, are we doing this?
205
00:07:00,337 --> 00:07:01,880
I can make some
fliers on Canva
206
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,465
and start papering
this town.
207
00:07:03,465 --> 00:07:06,301
Ooh!
This is what being
the change feels like.
208
00:07:06,301 --> 00:07:07,677
Are you feeling that?
[ Laughs ]
209
00:07:07,677 --> 00:07:09,429
Okay.
Everybody, hold on.
210
00:07:09,429 --> 00:07:12,098
If you're going,
can you take my punch card?
211
00:07:12,098 --> 00:07:13,058
I'm like three
punches away
212
00:07:13,058 --> 00:07:14,601
from a free
Teddy Blendergrass.
213
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:16,019
Boy, bye.
Come on.
214
00:07:16,019 --> 00:07:17,270
Chad, lemme
tell you something.
215
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:18,688
This is gonna end
in chaos.
216
00:07:18,688 --> 00:07:20,106
How?
217
00:07:20,106 --> 00:07:22,275
You'll see.
So much to learn, youngblood.
218
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:24,319
C'mon, let's go
sweep the roof.
219
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:25,612
You're not afraid of heights, right?
220
00:07:25,612 --> 00:07:27,113
No.
221
00:07:30,742 --> 00:07:33,119
Still time to help save
the deli, Greg.
222
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:34,621
I have already set up
an online petition.
223
00:07:34,621 --> 00:07:36,456
I put fliers in all local
storefronts that would let me.
224
00:07:36,456 --> 00:07:39,376
And I even spoke with the
B.L.A.C.K.S. yesterday.
225
00:07:39,376 --> 00:07:40,627
Excuse me?
226
00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:42,462
Building Love
and Creating Kids' Safety.
227
00:07:42,462 --> 00:07:44,381
The activist group.
Remember?
228
00:07:44,381 --> 00:07:46,591
They protested the school
last year.
229
00:07:46,591 --> 00:07:48,510
Should probably get in the habit
of saying the whole name.
230
00:07:48,510 --> 00:07:50,011
Yeah, well...
231
00:07:50,011 --> 00:07:53,098
Well, the Building Love and
Creating Kids' Safe... ties
232
00:07:53,098 --> 00:07:55,600
are on board and mobilizing
as we speak.
233
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,602
About that.
Yes!
234
00:07:57,602 --> 00:07:59,562
How did it go at
the University City location?
235
00:07:59,562 --> 00:08:01,690
Did you guys really let
'em have it?
236
00:08:01,690 --> 00:08:04,609
Mm.
So we went down there to give
them a piece of our mind.
237
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:06,277
We were
raring to go.
[ Laughs ]
238
00:08:06,277 --> 00:08:07,529
Walked right up
to that door,
239
00:08:07,529 --> 00:08:09,614
put our hand
on the handle.
240
00:08:09,614 --> 00:08:10,740
Didn't even knock.
241
00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:12,784
Don't have to.
It's a store.
242
00:08:12,784 --> 00:08:15,620
But then we noticed
they had free samples,
243
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:18,415
and, well, after our long
and taxing drive...
244
00:08:18,415 --> 00:08:20,709
Yeah, it's rude to turn down
a free sample, Jacob.
245
00:08:20,709 --> 00:08:22,335
I gotta tell you, I have no idea
where this is going.
246
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:24,170
Well, the sample
was so good,
247
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:25,880
we considered changing
our stance
248
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,298
on the smoothie shop
moving in.
249
00:08:27,298 --> 00:08:28,758
But we did not.
Of course not.
250
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:30,176
Oh, thank God.
251
00:08:30,176 --> 00:08:31,761
Yeah, it took
multiple samples.
252
00:08:31,761 --> 00:08:33,888
[ Gasps ]
And they're all
home runs, Jacob.
253
00:08:33,888 --> 00:08:35,223
Seriously,
what's one less deli
254
00:08:35,223 --> 00:08:36,808
in this deli town?
255
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:39,102
Mnh-mnh.
We drank yours.
256
00:08:39,102 --> 00:08:41,396
But we got one
for you.
257
00:08:41,396 --> 00:08:44,774
What? We had a plan.
I-I papered the community.
258
00:08:44,774 --> 00:08:47,152
Just try it, Jacob.
It might change your mind.
259
00:08:48,987 --> 00:08:50,488
Oh, okay.
Do it.

I am really disappointed
in all of you.
265
00:09:02,042 --> 00:09:04,627
So I guess that means
you don't want your punch card.

I've got a paper eater
in my class,

and I'm just trying
to get inside his head.

Ah. I had a girl in my class
lick glue last year.

But it was
a one-time thing.
See, that I can handle.

But apparently,
he's been doing this all year.
276
00:09:24,522 --> 00:09:26,232
Maybe he's doing it
for attention.
277
00:09:26,232 --> 00:09:28,276
No,
there's a real passion there.
278
00:09:28,276 --> 00:09:29,694
I tried to document it
in my calendar,

but the little Billy goat
ate November.
280

Oh, wow. Okay.
281
00:09:33,281 --> 00:09:35,325
Maybe it's
like an anxiety thing.
282
00:09:35,325 --> 00:09:38,661
Maybe it's that, but
some kids just like
to eat weird stuff.

I love the snap.

Get him some of that edible
paper that they use on cakes.
285

and call it a day.

like me, does it?

change in tune?

00:18:45,875 --> 00:18:48,878
That paper tip Ava gave me--
that was pretty good.
520
00:18:48,878 --> 00:18:51,297
She can be
really surprising.
521
00:18:51,297 --> 00:18:53,674
It's another great thing
about her.
522
00:18:53,674 --> 00:18:56,302
I still maintain that the
most crucial aspect of this job
523
00:18:56,302 --> 00:18:58,763
is empowering
our students and staff.
524
00:18:58,763 --> 00:19:01,057
When someone can't see the
potential that you see in them,
525
00:19:01,057 --> 00:19:02,600
they might need a little push.
526
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,894
And it's up to us
as leaders to give it to them.
527
00:19:04,894 --> 00:19:08,022
[ Applause ]
528
00:19:08,022 --> 00:19:10,107
Yes.
Double jacket.
529
00:19:10,941 --> 00:19:13,402
How do you toe the line
between giving encouragement
530
00:19:13,402 --> 00:19:15,654
and giving orders
or even overstepping?
531
00:19:15,654 --> 00:19:18,032
I'd say repetition.
532
00:19:18,032 --> 00:19:19,575
Let me give you
an example.
533
00:19:19,575 --> 00:19:23,287
A member of my staff dressed as
a nun going on vacat-- No?
534
00:19:23,287 --> 00:19:27,458
Um, a member of my staff
was stuck in a rut.
535
00:19:27,458 --> 00:19:31,045
But by being consistent
with subtle advice,
536
00:19:31,045 --> 00:19:34,840
her perspective shifted and she
was able to make small changes
537
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,885
that led to her becoming
the incredible educator
538
00:19:37,885 --> 00:19:39,678
that she is today.
539
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:41,931
How you give the advice
is up to you
540
00:19:41,931 --> 00:19:44,392
because it's not always
about the how.
541
00:19:44,392 --> 00:19:46,143
It's about the end result.
542
00:19:46,143 --> 00:19:48,187
[ Applause ]
543
00:19:53,109 --> 00:19:55,361
And that's how I saved
the school from ringworm.
544
00:19:55,361 --> 00:19:57,822
Mm!
Ava, that was sick.
545
00:19:57,822 --> 00:19:59,573
Thank you again
for volunteering.
546
00:19:59,573 --> 00:20:00,908
No problem.
I love doing it.
547
00:20:00,908 --> 00:20:02,576
It was so good.
548
00:20:02,576 --> 00:20:05,246
You know, people actually
do get paid for this?
549
00:20:05,246 --> 00:20:06,747
Paid?
Not here,
550
00:20:06,747 --> 00:20:09,417
but at private speaking
engagements and seminars.
551
00:20:09,417 --> 00:20:11,168
Oh, yeah.
Like how much?
552
00:20:11,168 --> 00:20:12,962
Like
thousands of dollars.
553
00:20:12,962 --> 00:20:14,422
Thousands, you say?
Mm-hmm.
554
00:20:14,422 --> 00:20:17,174
Well,
this has been a pleasure.
555
00:20:17,174 --> 00:20:20,094
If you guys want to keep
speaking to me, it'll be $1,000.
556
00:20:20,094 --> 00:20:22,096
[ Laughter ]
557
00:20:24,140 --> 00:20:25,933
Oh.
558
00:20:30,646 --> 00:20:32,189
Get excited, people.
559
00:20:32,189 --> 00:20:34,400
The deli is making
smoothies now.
560
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,776
Oh!
And they sent these
as a thank you
561
00:20:35,776 --> 00:20:37,194
for saving a beloved
small business
562
00:20:37,194 --> 00:20:39,029
from the clutches
of gentrificach.
563
00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:40,489
Well, it's a win-win.
564
00:20:40,489 --> 00:20:42,032
The neighborhood gets to keep
a local fave
565
00:20:42,032 --> 00:20:43,576
and we get free smoothies.
566
00:20:43,576 --> 00:20:45,536
Deli smoothies.
They don't have the training.
567
00:20:45,536 --> 00:20:48,038
Oh, well, I guess
these will just have to do.
568
00:20:48,038 --> 00:20:50,416
Enjoy the refreshing taste
of community action.
569
00:20:50,416 --> 00:20:52,418
Chindon!
Hey! Love it.
570
00:20:53,627 --> 00:20:55,713
No.
[ Gurgles ] Oh.
571
00:20:55,713 --> 00:20:58,924
Oh, fallen angels!
That is vile!
572
00:20:58,924 --> 00:21:00,801
What is in this?
573
00:21:00,801 --> 00:21:03,471
Mango Mortadella Fusion?
574
00:21:03,471 --> 00:21:04,764
Is that menthol?
575
00:21:04,764 --> 00:21:05,806
Appears we have
the same flavor.
576
00:21:05,806 --> 00:21:07,349
Menthol madness.
Ugh!
577
00:21:07,349 --> 00:21:10,728
Mine is... it's mostly
Nerd Clusters and...
578
00:21:10,728 --> 00:21:12,605
Hot Fries.
579
00:21:12,605 --> 00:21:14,565
Yeah, which,
honestly, I'm--
580
00:21:14,565 --> 00:21:16,901
Student: Are you ready?
Oh, wait, guys, I'm in next.
581
00:21:16,901 --> 00:21:18,652
No, wait. Hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
582
00:21:18,652 --> 00:21:22,114
Whoo! Eee!
