Teachers Notes
One of my favoriteAbbotttropes is when we stumble upon something Gregory actually likes.
Erika is such a fun friend and character.
Barbaras face was priceless.
Its great when some of Abbotts other teachers get into the mix.
Jacob, guessing what BYOBG means: Bring your own … Black Gregory?
Mr. Johnson: Thats why Mothers Day was invented, so less moms would leave their families.
Ava, when meeting Ayesha: Damn, she looks like the grown-up version of you.
Like if your proportions were stretched out to a normal length.
Melissa: Nothing good has ever come from nerds whispering.
Id have you drug-, tobacco-, and vape-free like all of our students.
