Janine Quote #44
Quote from Janine in Student Transfer
Janine: Juice?
Courtney: Apple juice? Really?
Janine: Okay. Um... Courtney, did you know the emotional center isn't actually in the heart but in the brain?
Courtney: Pass.
Janine: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay. Sit down. Hold on. All right. You're a leader, Courtney. And maybe that's something your other teachers didn't see about you, but I do. I know that when you tie your classmates' shoelaces together and tell them to dance, you're just looking for affirmation. And, Courtney, I will affirm you. We will sit down together, maybe do a puzzle... I bet you love puzzles as much as I do... And just work through some of those feelings together.
Courtney: Okay.
Janine: Okay.

Quote from Barbara
Jacob: Barbara, have you ever been roasted by your students?
Barbara: One, they're five. Two, they respect me. Three, what would they even say?
Quote from Jacob
Jacob: Hey, I need to talk. Like to a friend. You know how sometimes when you're being chased by a dog and you can't tell if it's playing or if it's trying to bite you?
Gregory: No.
Jacob: But at the same time, you don't want to stop running, because if it isn't playing, you're gonna get bit? Look, I tried roasting my students back, and it didn't work. It got way worse and oddly specific.
Gregory: Come on. It couldn't have been that bad.
Jacob: They called me "HuffPo-reading gay Pete Buttigieg," which is repetitive and insulting. As if I would read a word of Huffington Post after Arianna stepped down.
Gregory: You may just have to take the L on this one, man. I mean, you can't really beat them at their own game. It's like them challenging you to... Dungeons & Dragons.
Jacob: Yeah, you can't really challenge someone to D&D. It's more like a cooperative game that's all about the shared experience rather than winning. [gasps, snaps fingers] Thank you, you ol' good friendship having man.
Quote from Ava
Janine: I feel that with a more challenging workload, Courtney will be much, much easier to handle, and she won't have time to distract her classmates.
Ava: Mm-hmm. Why does that sound so familiar? Oh. Hold up.
Melissa: [removes file] Part 3?
Ava: My bad, y'all. She was supposed to skip second grade, but they told me during Essence Fest. I missed a lot of paperwork during that month.
Janine: Isn't Essence Fest just a weekend?
Ava: Maybe for y'all.
