  "A lot of these kids are kids that experience some of the same emotions, but the circumstances, I don't know if it makes it necessary to deal with it totally differently, but it is a different experience. And I just don't think I had the capacity and time to even address a lot of that in ways that I really wanted to now. Like, in hindsight, I realized getting a good bit done this past Wednesday, like I had a chemistry thing I was trying to get done."

  "What I can possibly do. But after working with younger kids and doing reading in the summer, one of the summer programs, and working with even younger kids in the Saturday program I do now, and moving into other subject areas as a high school educator this year, I feel less. It feels less of a. I feel less worried about not being competent enough to correctly educate the kids in something that's kind of new to me."

  "In math, I think the thing is knowing if it's harder to pinpoint if my students. Knowing whether my students are comprehending or understanding as I'm teaching the lesson, not once they're doing the problems because that's much easier to spot. But anyway, having said that, I think going into next year, assuming I'm still going to be here, which I think I think I will, that's what it's looking like. Biology, I really have to worry about just organizing things."

  "Even if I can help all these students in these different content areas like Today in our 11th grade support class I did a quick math lesson and I don't know if the kids were all there. One kid who wasn't really studying the math I, I, I was teaching it was because I was doing it for a different class."

  "Basically what the video says, if you have a like a mechanical or physical task or an algorithmic test, like something that is clear cut is this step, this step, this step, do this and then the reward and then you have incremental rewards to get. You get this based on if you do more of this then that works as motivation. But anytime a task becomes like cognitive or creative or something, you have to think more about things."

  "So of course, as somebody who teaches others for a living, or helps people help to learn for themselves, of course I listen to and read some things on how we learn and how we teach. And this is what these collection of videos were."

  "The problem is like coming in from the break when you're a group that really, when you're we are a program that supports students across the board and we kind of feed off what other teachers do, even if we teach ahead to do that. So we're not overburdening the kids with stuff they are not going to use. We essentially have to know what's coming ahead from the other teachers. And I don't know that I have a ton for that in 10th grade."

  "Just an FYI to the Swell team, I tried to use to record a swellcast on Firefox and it seems there's there's an error there. You cannot do that, but it does seem to work on on at least a couple other browsers. Secondly, I I don't think you can delete Swell cache you make on the web version. At least that's what it seems. So just two things to keep note of."

  "And I was able to do it, but reading law felt very dense and like going through very dense material and isolated. And sometimes I was like, okay, I could help you with the assignment. But half the time I didn't know what was going on, and it did not give me any feeling that I understood law any better because of it."

  "But given what's going on now with the Department of Education and the conversations related to school and the federal school system in general or federal, I don't know how you say, whatever. This is interesting. So again, I have videos as primers. It has actually been harder than I thought to find videos on the history of education. Maybe I just haven't looked that long. But this is one that stood out and I'm listening to it now."
