Transcript of the segment

What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: New York Post.

Hank LedgerA new survey says one in four American teachers are likely to quit within the next twelve months.
Vera BullockThe founder of The Mattering Institute, Jennifer Wallace, says the people who help our children know they matter deserve to know they matter, too, and I think that's beautiful.
Gloria VanceIt is beautiful, and it is a polite way of saying a quarter of a workforce is halfway out the door.
Gloria VanceI have seen smaller walkouts bring down ministries.
Vera BullockWhich is why we have to start by making teachers feel seen. Hank, you matter. Gloria, you matter.
Vera BullockI'm doing it right now, and it's working, I can feel it.
Hank LedgerNobody feels it.
Gloria VanceLet me finish, because I was not finished.
Gloria VanceIn forty countries I have been told I mattered, usually by a man holding my passport, and I was never once allowed to leave sooner.
Vera BullockThat's a burnout crisis, and it's exactly why we need to reimagine how we value the people shaping our future.
Hank LedgerBoth of you have talked over the survey, the teachers and each other for ninety seconds, and I'd like it noted that this is exactly what the teachers were describing.
Gloria VanceThen we are the one in four.
Vera BullockTwenty-five percent of this desk is Gloria, so mathematically she's the one leaving.
Hank LedgerI matter, for the record. Nobody say anything.
Hank LedgerRex has the Gridiron, and I hear he's been yelling at a scoreboard that never once said he mattered. Rex, how is it going?
