Speaker 5 (02:04):
Christy, you probably know, but my dad does not cook.
The only time that he cooks or he tries to cook,
is for our dog Benita.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
So I come to the house yesterday.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
God, it smelled like gas, a lot of gas, and
I'm like, what is that smell? What does that smell?
I go in the kitchen and realized that my dad
was cooking a piece of chicken for Bonie and the
gas was running.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
So I'm thinking maybe he, like I don't know, is
in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (02:34):

need to be by the stove, he doesn't need.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
To be by the microwave.

Today, the crazy train is headed all the way to Charlotte,
North Carolina. Like I said, sometimes when you're arguing with
your coworkers, it can get a little out of hand.
And that's exactly what happened at a Popeyes between Rodney
Wood and his manager. Why were they fighting and why
the fight led to gunfire is crazy?
Speaker 6 (04:39):
New court documents revealed burnt biscuits. Let's go b I
find a fast food business. A person shot was a

Good Morning Drive with Christy Live on Classic Kids one
oh three point seven. It's time for the Great debate.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Palo Alta schools making national news and it is the
center of this morning's great debate. So, Palo Alto Unified
just announced that they're gonna eliminate honors classes like honors biology,
and they want to do this to promote equity by
having all of the students take the same foundational courses.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Do you remember back.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
In the day they used to call it Gifted and
Talented education Gate.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yes, and you'd be like, oh, I'm in a GATE class.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
In Palo Alto and a couple of other Silicon Valley schools,
that's not the case. They want everybody on the same
level playing field.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Is that fair?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Is the question for this morning's great debate. You know,
if you have a kid who is advanced in school,
you want to give them the best opportunity.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And if little Johnny and Sally can't read that can't read.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I'm sorry, why does my kid have to stay behind?
I don't even have a kids, but I'm just saying
my imaginary kid would be smart. Were you in any
honor classes, Christine, I wasn't Gifted and Talented Education.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yes, at Thornton Junior High School.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Okay, I say all kids should be at an equal
playing field.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I'm not I was clearly I.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Was never in any of the honor classes.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
But I feel like just be equal across the board.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
We could be equal during pe, not when my child
is trying to get into a great college or university.
What do you think is the question? One eight sixty
six nine hundred one three seven. Tap the red microphone
on our free iHeartRadio app and you can send us
a talk back. Silicon Valley schools, including Palo Alto Unified,
(07:24):
trying to eliminate honors classes to promote inclusivity and encourage
broader participation.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Is that fair?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
That's the question for this morning's Great Debate Spell Debate.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Well, I'm just kiddingd Date. See now, I just can't
hear from you.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Next to the Great Debate, Classic Kids one of three point.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Seven doing away with honors classes? To keep it fair
for everybody. That's what some Silicon Valley and Palo Alto
Unified School District schools are doing.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But is that the right thing to do? Is the
question this morning, Roger.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
This is getting pretty nuts, so let's just apply it
to something else. I feel that we need to have
exclusivity in the NBA for fifty year old males who
are you know, less than sixty tall? So you know what.
I think I need to be represented there too, So
why aren't we just thumbed down everything and make it
exclusive for everybody and not let anybody excel at anything?
Speaker 9 (08:38):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Crazy?
Speaker 8 (08:40):
That's not Who wants to watch me, a fifty year
old male, white guy under six feet tall fry to
play basketball?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
That's so I feel like you can still crush it, Roger.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Okay, I'm not gonna you know, you might have game,
but I get your.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
Point that Curry's daughters could beat me. Okay, let me
just tell you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
But you got a point like where.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Does it stop?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
And I want everybody to be included all the time.
That is my style. But come on, I'll know your vote.
Thank you so much for the call, Call anytime, Good morning, Ken.
What do you think Silicon Valley schools in Palo Alto
Unified trying to do away with honors classes to make
it fair for everyone.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
Oh, you absolutely have to have honor classes. You cannot
restrain those that are going to help our future by
bringing them down below. It's just not right. Okay, Yeah,
it's absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Yes, indeed, unfortunately it is. Thank you so much. If
you want to jump in, just tap the red microphone
on our free iHeartRadio app. You can always leave a
talk back for this morning's great debate.
Speaker 10 (09:56):
Hey Christy, this is Joe from San Francisco. You know
I should get rid of these honor classes for students.
It just causes way too much stress for the students
and teachers. You know, kids these days, they can take
all these honor classes and still accomplish nothing. So I
just think get rid of them.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Okay, well I will note that vote too.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
What do you think is the question?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
You can do what he did, Tap the red microphone,
send a talk back from our free iHeartRadio app, or
just pick up the phone.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And give me a call. Should they do away with
honors classes?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
That's what they are trying to do in Palo Alto,
Unified and some Silicon Valley schools.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Jump in join the great debate.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Here are your thoughts next to.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
The Great Debate, Classic kids one oh three point seven,
Get your.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Dumb kid wow out of my classroom because.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
This is for the smart kids only.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
That's basically that's the reason why these schools in Palo
Alto want to get rid of honor classes.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Christy, and that is why we are having this morning's
Great debate, because I don't think that's a great idea.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
But what do you think is the question, Linda, good morning.
Speaker 11 (11:08):
I don't think you should get rid of them because
they do propel the students to want to do better,
and the ones that are smarter than the rest, they
need to be challenged. So the idiots that don't want
to do anything because they're lazy, that's their problem. Not
everybody gets a trophy. You don't deserve it, you don't
get it.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
All right, I.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Heard that, Thank you so much, Linda, have a great weekend.
Got a couple talkbacks from our app.
Speaker 9 (11:34):
I don't think honor students should be held back at all.
They're going to hear it right futures, so why should
they be denied their classes that they need to go
to college, just.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Saying, you know, just dropping the knowledge.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Thank you so much for the talkback, sir, got another
one here from our app hit that red mic. Anytime
you want to join the Great debate.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Hey, Christy.
Speaker 12 (12:00):
As far as the Great debate this morning, I'm a
teacher in Newark.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
My name's Matt.
Speaker 12 (12:05):
I feel that honors classes should not be eliminated because
those students that would be there, they're going to be
so bored in the regular classes that you might end
up having more behavior issues than you would in other cases.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Thank you so much. And Matt is a teacher. Thank
you so much, Matt for the work that you do.
Uh lout that okay, So if the teacher says it,
then it's okay because you know I was saying the
same thing.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
God time for one more talk back here.
Speaker 13 (12:34):
Good morning. Let's face the facts, people, We are not
all equal. Some people are much smarter, some people are
more athletically inclined. But dumbing down an education system is
moronic and only hurts all of us when people with
great intelligence are held back.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Thank you very much to everyone who joined in this morning.
Do a new question every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. What
have the people said regarding doing away with honors classes?
This morning producer Karina for the Great Debate. They said, no,
(13:15):
do not get rid of honor classes. Yeah, don't treat
all kids equally.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Oh that's not what everyone said. That's not what it means.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
So don't go there.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Every student adds something special, exactly. No need to divide.
We all multiply, so stupid.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
We're all grimlins with water on us, you know, because
gremlins multiply when you put water on them. I just
welcome the eighties called and they want to keep us.
I just you know, if you're an eighties kid, you
really know what's up anyway? Bags of music in thirty seconds, Classic.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Kids, one of three point seven. Time to play, give
me five?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
All right, we got Tom in the hot seat today.
You played earlier this week, didn't make it, but I
have faith in you. Tom.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Thanks for Collinge.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Let me say this first.
Speaker 8 (14:10):
I think you had a great sense for you. Mirror,
and your husband and your kids are really lucky.
Speaker 13 (14:14):
To have you.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Oh you're so sweet.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I am not married and I have no children.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Okay, thank you, I appreciate that. Okay, all right, Tom,
let's see if you can do this, Okay, I'm gonna
give you a category, but ten seconds on the clock,
and all you gotta do is give me five things
in that category. In ten seconds, you will be the
gimme five champ. We're gonna make it happen for you. Okay, hope,
(14:44):
all right? Tom, clock starts when I say, go give
me five green vegetables.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Go oh, let us God.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
Okay, I'm not gonna get it.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
You gotta eat you.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 8 (15:10):
Maybe next shot up.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Tom, you are my new favorite.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Next week you got this? I promise you got this?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Okay you no, Thank you?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Tom proved something.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
If at first you don't succeed, don't get discouraged. You
gotta just dust yourself off and try again. So Monday
we'll do it all over. And coming up your daily

and they want to do this to promote equity by
having all of the students take the same foundational courses.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Do you remember back.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
In the day they used to call it Gifted and
Talented education Gate.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yes, and you'd be like, oh, I'm in a GATE class.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
In Palo Alto and a couple of other Silicon Valley schools,
that's not the case. They want everybody on the same
level playing field.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Is that fair?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Is the question for this morning's great debate. You know,
if you have a kid who is advanced in school,
you want to give them the best opportunity.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And if little Johnny and Sally can't read that can't read.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I'm sorry, why does my kid have to stay behind?
I don't even have a kids, but I'm just saying
my imaginary kid would be smart. Were you in any
honor classes, Christine, I wasn't Gifted and Talented Education.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yes, at Thornton Junior High School.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Okay, I say all kids should be at an equal
playing field.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I'm not I was clearly I.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Was never in any of the honor classes.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
But I feel like just be equal across the board.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
We could be equal during pe, not when my child
is trying to get into a great college or university.
What do you think is the question? One eight sixty
six nine hundred one three seven. Tap the red microphone
on our free iHeartRadio app and you can send us
a talk back. Silicon Valley schools, including Palo Alto Unified,
(07:24):
trying to eliminate honors classes to promote inclusivity and encourage
broader participation.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Is that fair?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
That's the question for this morning's Great Debate Spell Debate.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Well, I'm just kiddingd Date. See now, I just can't
hear from you.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Next to the Great Debate, Classic Kids one of three point.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Seven doing away with honors classes? To keep it fair
for everybody. That's what some Silicon Valley and Palo Alto
Unified School District schools are doing.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But is that the right thing to do? Is the
question this morning, Roger.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
This is getting pretty nuts, so let's just apply it
to something else. I feel that we need to have
exclusivity in the NBA for fifty year old males who
are you know, less than sixty tall? So you know what.
I think I need to be represented there too, So
why aren't we just thumbed down everything and make it
exclusive for everybody and not let anybody excel at anything?
Speaker 9 (08:38):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Crazy?
Speaker 8 (08:40):
That's not Who wants to watch me, a fifty year
old male, white guy under six feet tall fry to
play basketball?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
That's so I feel like you can still crush it, Roger.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Okay, I'm not gonna you know, you might have game,
but I get your.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
Point that Curry's daughters could beat me. Okay, let me
just tell you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
But you got a point like where.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Does it stop?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
And I want everybody to be included all the time.
That is my style. But come on, I'll know your vote.
Thank you so much for the call, Call anytime, Good morning, Ken.
What do you think Silicon Valley schools in Palo Alto
Unified trying to do away with honors classes to make
it fair for everyone.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
Oh, you absolutely have to have honor classes. You cannot
restrain those that are going to help our future by
bringing them down below. It's just not right. Okay, Yeah,
it's absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Yes, indeed, unfortunately it is. Thank you so much. If

talk back for this morning's great debate.
Speaker 10 (09:56):
Hey Christy, this is Joe from San Francisco. You know
I should get rid of these honor classes for students.
It just causes way too much stress for the students
and teachers. You know, kids these days, they can take
all these honor classes and still accomplish nothing. So I
just think get rid of them.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Okay, well I will note that vote too.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
What do you think is the question?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
You can do what he did, Tap the red microphone,
send a talk back from our free iHeartRadio app, or
just pick up the phone.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And give me a call. Should they do away with
honors classes?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
That's what they are trying to do in Palo Alto,
Unified and some Silicon Valley schools.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Jump in join the great debate.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Here are your thoughts next to.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
The Great Debate, Classic kids one oh three point seven,
Get your.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Dumb kid wow out of my classroom because.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
This is for the smart kids only.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
That's basically that's the reason why these schools in Palo
Alto want to get rid of honor classes.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Christy, and that is why we are having this morning's
Great debate, because I don't think that's a great idea.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
But what do you think is the question, Linda, good morning.
Speaker 11 (11:08):
I don't think you should get rid of them because
they do propel the students to want to do better,
and the ones that are smarter than the rest, they
need to be challenged. So the idiots that don't want
to do anything because they're lazy, that's their problem. Not
everybody gets a trophy. You don't deserve it, you don't
get it.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
All right, I.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Heard that, Thank you so much, Linda, have a great weekend.
Got a couple talkbacks from our app.
Speaker 9 (11:34):
I don't think honor students should be held back at all.
They're going to hear it right futures, so why should
they be denied their classes that they need to go
to college, just.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Saying, you know, just dropping the knowledge.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Thank you so much for the talkback, sir, got another
one here from our app hit that red mic. Anytime
you want to join the Great debate.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Hey, Christy.
Speaker 12 (12:00):
As far as the Great debate this morning, I'm a
teacher in Newark.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
My name's Matt.
Speaker 12 (12:05):
I feel that honors classes should not be eliminated because
those students that would be there, they're going to be
so bored in the regular classes that you might end
up having more behavior issues than you would in other cases.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Thank you so much. And Matt is a teacher. Thank
you so much, Matt for the work that you do.
Uh lout that okay, So if the teacher says it,
then it's okay because you know I was saying the
same thing.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
God time for one more talk back here.
Speaker 13 (12:34):
Good morning. Let's face the facts, people, We are not
all equal. Some people are much smarter, some people are
more athletically inclined. But dumbing down an education system is
moronic and only hurts all of us when people with
great intelligence are held back.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Thank you very much to everyone who joined in this morning.
Do a new question every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. What
have the people said regarding doing away with honors classes?
This morning producer Karina for the Great Debate. They said, no,
(13:15):
do not get rid of honor classes. Yeah, don't treat
all kids equally.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Oh that's not what everyone said. That's not what it means.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
So don't go there.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Every student adds something special, exactly. No need to divide.
We all multiply, so stupid.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
We're all grimlins with water on us, you know, because
gremlins multiply when you put water on them. I just
welcome the eighties called and they want to keep us.
I just you know, if you're an eighties kid, you
really know what's up anyway? Bags of music in thirty seconds, Classic.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Kids, one of three point seven. Time to play, give
me five?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
All right, we got Tom in the hot seat today.
You played earlier this week, didn't make it, but I
have faith in you. Tom.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Thanks for Collinge.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Let me say this first.
Speaker 8 (14:10):

and your husband and your kids are really lucky.
Speaker 13 (14:14):
To have you.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Oh you're so sweet.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I am not married and I have no children.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Okay, thank you, I appreciate that. Okay, all right, Tom,
let's see if you can do this, Okay, I'm gonna
give you a category, but ten seconds on the clock,
and all you gotta do is give me five things
in that category. In ten seconds, you will be the
gimme five champ. We're gonna make it happen for you. Okay, hope,
(14:44):
all right? Tom, clock starts when I say, go give
me five green vegetables.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Go oh, let us God.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
Okay, I'm not gonna get it.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
You gotta eat you.
Speaker 1 (15:09):

Speaker 8 (15:10):
Maybe next shot up.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Tom, you are my new favorite.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Next week you got this? I promise you got this?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Okay you no, Thank you?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Tom proved something.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
If at first you don't succeed, don't get discouraged. You
gotta just dust yourself off and try again. So Monday
we'll do it all over. And coming up your daily
