Why it worked

Summary

A student records a video of themselves listening to a teacher or principal explain the consequences of their repeated tardiness. The video uses a humorous caption to contrast the seriousness of the situation with the absurdity of the teacher's voice fading out.

Transcript

POV: the principal keep callin my parents but instead the saxophones get quieter. About her getting referrals for being late to class. Um, day before yesterday she got a referral for four tardies. Yesterday, she added the lady added one more one more on. Now she got referrals for five tardies. I'm like you got two referrals in the system now for a failure to obey, which is supposed to have you a suspension. I don't want to do that to you. We're at the end of the year, you need to get ready for finals. But if you're going to keep on doing things, I'm not going to have a choice. That's a lot. I know that was a lot that I just got done telling you. Right?
