Hey everyone. So, you know how you have
0:02
those classes where you're just trying
0:04
to get through the day and then
0:05
something happens that makes you realize
0:07
you are watching a genius at work?
0:09
Today, I'm telling you about the dumbest
0:11
thing I ever saw happen in a high school
0:13
chemistry class and how it led to the
0:16
most brilliant takedown I've ever
0:17
witnessed. The arrival of the
0:20
unbeliever. Our chemistry teacher, Mr.
0:23
Rodriguez, was the chillest dude you
0:25
could ever meet. He was the kind of
0:27
teacher who made you actually want to
0:29
learn about balancing equations and
0:31
chemical reactions. He had this calm,
0:34
patient energy. But all of that changed
0:37
one day mid semester when a new kid
0:40
transferred in. His name was Jacob. He
0:44
was the walking talking embodiment of
0:46
teenage angst, backwards baseball cap,
0:49
loud gum chewing, and a permanent
0:51
slouch. The moment he broke Mr.
0:53
Rodriguez was during a lab where we were
0:55
measuring how temperature affects
0:57
reaction rates. We were all diligently
1:00
working and then Jacob, without a hint
1:02
of irony, raised his hand and asked,
1:05
"Mr. R, why are we even doing this?
1:08
Chemistry is fake anyway."
1:11
The pencil Mr. Rodriguez was holding
1:13
snapped in half. You could feel the
1:16
tension in the room. We all held our
1:18
breath.
1:20
"Excuse me," Mr. Rodriguez said, his
1:22
voice dangerously low. Jacob just
1:25
slouched deeper in his chair.
1:28
My uncle says chemicals are just made up
1:30
by companies to sell us stuff we don't
1:32
need.
1:34
The girl next to me almost dropped her
1:36
beaker. Mr. Rodriguez took off his
1:39
glasses and rubbed his eyes. He tried to
1:42
reason with him.
1:44
Jacob, the phone in your pocket, those
1:46
sneakers you're wearing, even the gum
1:48
you're chewing, all of it is made
1:50
possible by chemistry.
1:52
But Jacob was having none of it.
1:55
Nah, he said, pulling out his phone.
1:58
This is just metal and glass.
2:01
A few kids laughed nervously. I glanced
2:04
at Mr. Rodriguez. His eye was actually
2:06
twitching. We were watching a man break
2:09
in real time.
2:11
the challenge.
2:13
That's when something changed.
2:16
The twitching stopped. A slow,
2:18
terrifying smile spread across Mr.
2:20
Rodriguez's face. Not his normal
2:23
friendly smile, but the kind of smile
2:25
that made us all sit up straight.
2:28
We knew something was about to go down.
2:30
"Okay then," he said, walking to the
2:33
supply cabinet. "Let's try something."
2:37
He grabbed a bottle of vinegar and some
2:38
baking soda.
2:41
If chemistry isn't real, nothing should
2:43
happen when I mix these, right?
2:45
Jacob just shrugged.
2:48
Probably just tricks like magicians do.
2:51
When the mixture foamed and bubbled up
2:54
dramatically, Jacob didn't even flinch.
2:57
He just yawned and said, "Cgi looks
3:00
better."
3:02
And that was it. That was the final
3:05
straw. Mr. Rodriguez's smile got even
3:07
wider.
3:09
Jacob, he said, for tomorrow's homework,
3:13
I want you to record a video explaining
3:15
why chemistry isn't real.
3:18
The class went silent. Jacob, however,
3:21
looked thrilled. He pulled out his phone
3:23
and started planning his video in his
3:25
head. He had no idea what he was walking
3:28
into. The takeown. The next day, Jacob
3:32
came into class, beaming. He pulled out
3:34
his phone and showed us a Tik Tok he had
3:36
made. It was full of random screenshots
3:39
from conspiracy websites with him
3:40
spouting nonsense and saying, "Do your
3:43
research." after each point.
3:46
He was so proud of himself.
3:48
Mr. Rodriguez just nodded politely,
3:51
letting him have his moment. "When Jacob
3:54
was finished, Mr. Rodriguez walked over
3:56
to his laptop." "I also prepared
3:58
something," he said quietly. Up popped a
4:01
slideshow titled Jacob's Day Without
4:03
Chemistry. The first slide showed a
4:05
cartoon Jacob waking up. The next showed
4:07
him going to brush his teeth, but the
4:09
toothpaste vanished. Then his shampoo
4:11
disappeared. Then his deodorant. Then
4:13
his clothes since the dyes and fabrics
4:15
are all chemical compounds. The cartoon
4:17
Jacob was suddenly naked, looking
4:19
confused. Then his breakfast of
4:21
processed food disappeared. His phone
4:24
and his car vanished. And by the end,
4:26
cartoon Jacob was standing naked in a
4:28
field eating a raw potato.
4:32
The entire class was trying to hold in
4:34
their laughter, but Mr. Rodriguez wasn't
4:36
done. He pulled out a folder.
4:40
I also took the liberty of printing your
4:42
Tik Tok comments. He started reading
4:45
them aloud.
4:47
Dude, is your science teacher okay with
4:49
you failing this bad? My 5-year-old
4:52
cousin knows more chemistry than this
4:53
guy. Please tell me this is satire.
4:56
Jacob's face turned bright red as the
4:58
class erupted in laughter. Mr. Rodriguez
5:02
raised his hand for quiet. Here's the
5:05
deal, Jacob. You can believe whatever
5:07
you want, but in this classroom, we test
5:10
our beliefs with evidence. He handed
5:12
Jacob a simple experiment kit. Prove me
5:16
wrong with this and I'll give you an A
5:17
for the semester. Jacob stared at the
5:20
kit. Then slowly, for the first time all
5:22
semester, he put his phone away. Fine,
5:25
whatever, he mumbled. The aftermath. Two
5:29
weeks later, Jacob stopped me after
5:31
class. "Don't tell anyone," he
5:35
whispered, showing me his phone. "It was
5:38
filled with chemistry videos, not
5:40
conspiracy stuff, but actual educational
5:42
videos." He was teaching himself. He
5:45
looked at me a little embarrassed and
5:47
said, "This stuff is actually kind of
5:50
cool." Mr. Rodriguez definitely saw it.
5:53
He wasn't blind, but he just smiled his
5:56
normal chill smile and pretended not to
5:58
notice. And that's the most brilliant
6:00
thing I've ever seen in a classroom. Mr.
6:02
Rodriguez didn't just win an argument,
6:04
he taught a lesson. He showed us all
6:05
that sometimes the smartest teachers win
6:07
by letting you think it was your idea
6:09
all along.
