Study Maybe? (A Teacher's Version of "Call Me Maybe")

Описание: This music video was made for the teachers and students of Three Rivers School District, which has seven amazing secondary schools, all featured in the film. After years of working as individual schools in our district, last year we all came together and worked collaboratively to develop many products relating to the Common Core State Standards and Proficiency Based Learning. This video is a celebration of our collaborative spirit in the name of our students. One of our graduates, Dawna Crocker (Illinois Valley High School) graciously lent her voice to the project. Her boyfriend Nautikal recorded her singing over a karaoke version of "Call Me Maybe" produced by fruitified ninja (   • Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe Instrumen...  . Credit goes to Carly Rae Jepsen and Tavish Crowe for the original lyrics that were not completely changed for the making of this video. Credit for the new lyrics goes to Kirsten Valenzuela, an instructional coach for the secondary schools in the district who wrote, produced and created the video.

This video was inspired after seeing a blog post from http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/ wherin the lines "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but I'm your teacher, so study maybe" were first seen by me late on a Sunday night in mid-August. Thanks for the inspiration!

Here's the lyrics:

Study Maybe?

I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked at you as it fell
And now you're in my class

I trade my soul for a wish,
Pennies and dimes for a miss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my class

Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans, skin was showing
Dress code, always breaking
Where you think you're going, lady?

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But I'm your teacher, so study maybe
It's hard to fail now, but you might Lady
I'll be here for you, so study maybe

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But I'm your teacher, so study maybe
And all the other kids, they try to hate me
But I'm your teacher, so study maybe

You took your time with the book
I took one cold hard look
You gave me nothing at all, but I'm here anyway
I beg and borrow and steal
Get that light and it's real
I didn't know how you'd feel, but you are on your way

Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans, skin was showing,
Dress code, always breaking
Where you think you're going, Lady?

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But I'm your teacher, so study maybe
It's hard to fail now, but you might, Lady
I'll be here for you, so study maybe

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But I'm your teacher, so study maybe
And all the other kids, they try to hate me
But I'm your teacher, so study maybe

Before you came to my class, it was so bad
Oh it was so bad... Oh it was so, so bad
Before you came to my class, it was so bad
Oh it was so bad... Oh it was so, so bad

It's hard to fail now, but you might, Lady
I'll be here for you, so study maybe

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But I'm your teacher, so study maybe
And all the other kids, they try to hate me
But I'm your teacher, so study maybe

Before you came to my class, it was so bad
Oh it was so bad... Oh it was so, so bad
Before you came to my class, it was so bad
It was so bad

So study maybe?
