Jeff Bliss Transcript

Bliss: Hearing this freaking lady go off on kids, ‘cause they don’t freaking get this crap? If you would just get up an’ teach ‘em instead of handing ‘em a freaking packet, yo. There’s kids in here that don’t learn like that. They need to learn face to face. You’re just getting mad because I’m pointing out the obvious.

Teacher: No, ‘cause you wastin’ my time.

Bliss: No, I’m not wasting your time. I’m telling you what you need to do. You want kids to come in your class, you want ‘em to get excited for this, you gotta come in here and you gotta make ‘em excited. You want a kid to change and start doing better you gotta touch his freaking heart. Can’t expect a kid to change if all you do is just tell ‘em.

Teacher: Bye

Bliss: You gotta, you gotta take this job serious. This is the future of this nation. And when you come in here like you did last time and make a statement about, “Oh this is my paycheck,” Indeed it is but this is my country’s future and my education.

Teacher: I respect that. Can you go outside please? I’ve got things to do.

Bliss: But there’s a limit. When I’m not bitching but simply making an observation.

Teacher: Ok, ok.

Bliss: And now I will leave. You’re welcome.

Teacher: Goodbye

Bliss: And if you would like I’ll teach you a little more so you can actually learn how to teach a freaking class.

Teacher: No, you’re not welcome back.

Bliss: Because since I got here I’ve done nothin’ but read packets.

Teacher: Go.

Bliss: So don’t try and take credibility for teaching me jack.

Teacher: I’m not. Just go. Goodbye. Close the door.
