But I mean, I haven't 396 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,119 really thought about it. 397 00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:49,039 Speaker 2: I mean, I think i'd try it, but I'm not 398 00:19:49,079 --> 00:19:52,359 sure how i'd feel when we're actually at separate schools. 399 00:19:52,519 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: And what about the other school you were at was 400 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,559 a big school, right? How did you feel about that 401 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:58,319 middle school? 402 00:19:58,920 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: Yeah? 403 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't care if you say the name of it, 404 00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:01,880 because you're not there anymore. 405 00:20:02,039 --> 00:20:03,559 Speaker 1: Okay, did you like it? 406 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,559 Speaker 4: Or that's the one you started a month into eighth grade? 407 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: Yes, okay? And Elbie went there, right? No? 408 00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 4: Oh, so they were at the school called Valley Charter, 409 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,000 which was a charter school, small school. This is where 410 00:20:20,039 --> 00:20:21,920 I used to complain about the school, and people would 411 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,200 be like, send your kids to a bigger school. But 412 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,400 they but when it came to middle school, they didn't 413 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,279 want to go to a bigger school. They wanted to 414 00:20:28,319 --> 00:20:30,440 stay at a small school. Right, So we stayed at 415 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,000 a small school. It didn't work out. Moved them to 416 00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:37,480 another small school because COVID happened and the school they 417 00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:40,880 were at really was sucking. I remember this other small 418 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,480 school then that wasn't then then that school Because sometimes 419 00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:48,240 the nature of very small schools is the people that 420 00:20:48,279 --> 00:20:51,119 are running those schools when when the head person the 421 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,720 principal quit and was like wanted to stay home with 422 00:20:55,759 --> 00:20:59,200 her baby. And then the assistant principal had already quit too, 423 00:20:59,279 --> 00:21:01,440 and she was they they were both like they were 424 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,079 the reason the school was great. So then it was 425 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,039 like all these changes and they hired really basic teachers 426 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,759 and so and then Xander's and then we call your 427 00:21:11,839 --> 00:21:16,680 friend lyle Yle Crocodile. We call them so Lyle Lyle 428 00:21:16,759 --> 00:21:19,759 Crocodile moved schools and Xander was like, I want to 429 00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:22,960 go to school with Lylewyle Crocodile. So we moved and 430 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,559 that's when we went to this big school and then 431 00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:27,160 what happened. 432 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 2: Okay, So I'd say, okay, so there's I'd say, it's 433 00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:35,200 kind of like a complete flip of how I feel 434 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,960 about the school I'm at now because I think the 435 00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:43,319 social parts of can I say the name, yeah that one? 436 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: Yeah? 437 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,039 Speaker 2: Okay, So I'd say, like the social I went to Portola, 438 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,920 Like the social parts of it I thought were better 439 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,240 because it was like a really big school with a 440 00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:55,839 lot of different options. So it was like if I 441 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,119 didn't really want to hang out with this friend group anymore, 442 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,519 there was like other people I could hang out with, 443 00:22:01,559 --> 00:22:05,240 and I didn't feel I didn't feel like too much, 444 00:22:05,319 --> 00:22:07,880 like I didn't have people to hang out with at 445 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:08,400 that school. 446 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: The things I. 447 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 2: Didn't like were like the academics and stuff. I really 448 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,759 disliked a lot of my teachers. 449 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, mister zippity dooda, mister zippity DooDah. 450 00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:26,559 Speaker 2: Oh my god, nightmares, nightmares about that guy. And then 451 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,200 I was so close. I was so close to not 452 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:35,880 having this science teacher because she retired, like she really 453 00:22:36,039 --> 00:22:38,759 like I was her last year. Then she retired, but 454 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,720 like really didn't like her. It was really difficult to 455 00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:46,839 figure out how to like do well on her tests 456 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,240 and stuff. So I was failing them a lot until 457 00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:51,880 I started, like, you remember that, mom, Like I kept 458 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,759 failing those tests even though I was like, I'm studying everything, 459 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:56,960 you're a student. 460 00:22:57,079 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 4: She made him do a test by his first or 461 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,079 second day at school. I remember that the abl Yeah, 462 00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:05,279 and then she was giving him a hard time about it. Yeah, 463 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,480 how would he know anything that you've been teaching. 464 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 2: Right, I remember that, Yeah, And then it was just crazy. 465 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,119 I'd be like going home crying because I'd be like, 466 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,240 how I've studied so much of what you told me too? 467 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,359 How am I supposed to do well on these tests? 468 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,599 Until I just like figured out that there's a lot 469 00:23:24,599 --> 00:23:27,000 of the stuff she didn't tell us to study is 470 00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:30,240 what was actually on the test.
