  Speaker 1: This portion of the Joe Show podcast is powered by
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Farrah and Farrah, Tampa accident attorneys. A crazier story than
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the two we talked about yesterday. Yesterday, we talked about
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: two parents who ended up going to jail, two separate stories.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: One parent wanted Pokemon cards, went to go camp out
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: at Target, brings their six-year-old, leaves their six-year-old camping out
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: for a couple of hours so he could go home.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: The next one, this parent put soap in his kid's mouth.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: He went to jail. We talked about it. iHeartRadio app, podcast,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: all of that. Then yesterday, yesterday, this was reported on.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And boy, yesterday was I shocked. Matter of fact, I
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: looked at Ashley and I'm like, there's no way that's
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a real article. There's no way that's a real news story.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: She's like, nope.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Well, it is.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, I mean, look, consequences are necessary
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: in life. I'll give you an example.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Son of a....
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Autoplay skipped the video that I had. It's going to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: go back to 20-minute ads. Okay, the story is parents
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: are suing over kids' grades.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, they're taking the schools to court for low grades.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Because they say that low grades is killing the confidence
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: of kids. I'm telling you, we should have been kids now.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Now the more I think about it, we should have
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: been kids now.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: We made a big mistake, Katie. I don't want to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: be a kid now.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I feel like grades would motivate me to do better.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Then you're just hanging out in a room with your friends, right?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: That is true. Okay.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Okay. Here we go.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: How do those parents not know their kids are not
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: putting forth the effort to actually learn something?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: What are you laughing at?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Because I had everything pulled out. It's all screwing up now.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: And every single website I go to for this has
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a paywall. You can't have paywalls on things.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: For news.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: How are we supposed to be informed?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: If we're that concerned about confidence and grades... We should
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: also be getting rid of paywalls. Get rid of grades
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and paywalls.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: I think it's so messed up you got to pay
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: like a penny or $ 5 to read the news.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Really? This is happening in Silicon Valley, so like super
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: smart people, but also, you know, those types of people.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And beyond, families are pressuring teachers and calling lawyers over
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: classroom grades. Classroom grades. They're saying that it is killing
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the confidence of kids. They should only have pass or fails.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And they highly recommend just passing kids.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: So they can go out into the world and be stupid?
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But how are you supposed to determine who the
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: best of the best is?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Because every parent thinks their kid is the best.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Well, not just that, Ashley. Not mine. Think about it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Think about it from this standpoint. If you have a
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: doctor and it's pass fail or a lawyer or somebody
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: who's engineering cars or any kind of infrastructure, I don't
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: want to pass fail. I want somebody who's the best
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: at what they do.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Got it. You don't want mid at all.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: My apologies about this video, but hey, things happen.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Now I have it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: Some classroom issues are now turning into courtroom battles. The
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: Wall Street Journal is reporting some parents are now taking
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: legal action against schools that give their children bad grades
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: and poor behavior assessments. One mom in California, Silicon Valley. quote,
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: saw the report card saying her son needed to work
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: on cooperating with others and demanded that it be changed.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: When the school district declined to do that, she called
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: her attorney. And here's another dad on this, quote, sued
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: the Palo Alto Unified School District in federal court after
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: AI detection software flagged an essay his son turned in
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: as 76% AI. He submitted to the district a 1,000-page
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: packet showing the sophomore's drafting and revision process, which he
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: said proved his son had done nothing wrong. He argued
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: that an academic dishonesty record could affect college admissions and more,
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: and after months of litigation, he dropped the lawsuit.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: As he should.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Well, it seems teachers are dealing with the parental interference
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: like never before.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: Was it yesterday we talked about how teachers are, we
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: had a teacher call in about not being able to,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: you know, if a child is being taught soft parenting
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: or soft discipline versus like, hey, actually being disciplined. So
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: I feel bad for these teachers because now they have
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: to go to court because these parents feel like they're
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: not teaching them anything when they're actually doing their job.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: It's just probably the parents aren't, you know. still going
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: home and letting them read and, you know, do math problems.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: My niece goes to school and, you know, she's at
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: school learning, but my sister also has a tutor. They
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: have time where they have to read, where they have
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: to do math problems because it doesn't only.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: She's wasting money. No, she's not. Yeah, just go sue
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the school. Oh, my God. And she can go out
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: into the world and be a dummy.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Everyone else is a dummy. Why not me? Everybody else
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: is doing it. Everybody else is doing it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: I don't have children, but I could not live with
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: myself if I'm not, like, Having them be the best
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: that they can be.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: And you don't, I mean, you don't have to be
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: like the upper echelon, but just do the best you can.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Or sue. I'm not going to sue.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: I want to know if anyone has ever sued and
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: they won.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: We haven't seen no victories yet.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Probably not because the judges probably went to school and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: are like, that is absolutely insane. Right. Yeah.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: It is interesting though.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's Silicon Valley who's asking for it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Polo Alto. Huh.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: And these are students who can just pay their way
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: to college and pay it off.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that prominent of an area for sure.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: That's why they're wasting money on taking the schools to Cora.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: They have money to blow. Meanwhile, my mom's like, hey,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: you better get your together. Right?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: They didn't love us the way that these parents did. Also,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: it is their parents' fault because think about it. We
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: came from a generation of people who do the whole
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: slip and fall and the– In the.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Grocery store aisle. My neck, my back.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: It just turned into, we saw that as kids, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: we kept seeing that, and we went, you know what?
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: We can't fall in grocery stores anymore. Let's just sue
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: school districts.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I really want to know who the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: first parent to do that is now, too. I don't know.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Also, they were probably the ones who ran for class president.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: They were like, no more grades. Everyone will get an A, and.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: We'll have Kool-Aid in the drinking fountain. That was always,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: if someone ran for class president, they said they would
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: put Kool-Aid in the drinking fountain.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Like Mr.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Deeds.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Our class president said unlimited hall passes.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah. You got my vote. Katie, what's
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: coming up with the news? We're going to get into
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the news. Then we're going to have the $ 10, 000 secret sound.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: $ 1, 900 could be yours. I'll play this sound after Katie
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: tells us about the news. So somber is trending after
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: he popped off on a fan who was doing what
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: in the crowd during one of his shows. And Britney
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Spears reportedly has a new project in the works. Very exciting.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I feel like we're going
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to hear like a Steve Lacey moment.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I hope so. I feel like it's going to be
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: like Steve Lacey.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: $ 10, 000 secret sound. $ 1, 900. $ 1, 900. What is that?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: What could it be?
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Saw a ton of people leaving talkbacks during Katie's show,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Nick's show, EJ, Jamie. Everyone trying to figure out what
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: this sound is. Remember, we've got 10 grand to give away.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: But we could have as many winners as the 10
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: grand allows. Right now it's at $ 1, 900. If we don't
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: get a Royt, if we don't get a Royt, if
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: we don't get a Royt gas at $ 710, it grows
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: by $ 100. So it will be $ 2, 000.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: At $ 810.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Hopefully he doesn't get that, though. This portion of the
