"For me, the award is the work. All I want to do is keep being able to do this. I love it so much. It makes me so happy. It makes me unbelievably blown away that it makes some people happy who voted for this award too."
🎊 Congratulations to Taylor Swift on winning her 4th Grammys Album of the Year award 🎊
Honestly, I feel ridiculous. Like, I don’t deserve this award. With everything that Barbara does for the school, and you teaching two grades, and -- and -- and Janine getting yelled at by a parent, I feel like I’m the last person who should get this.

Melissa: Yeah, you’re definitely not the best teacher in Philadelphia. Or, you know, this school. Or your grade. Or even this classroom.
Gregory: Is there a point? Like, where are we going?
Melissa: Gregory, you don’t deserve to be Educator of the Year.
Gregory: Still waiting for that point.
Melissa: But I’ve seen you stick it out and improve week after week. You work really hard to get better, and you care. So maybe someday, you’ll grow into deserving this award. But you know what? They’re not gonna give it to you then. Cause you can’t choose when people acknowledge you.]
