When I was in junior high, the Detroit Pistons were conducting a special “Stay in School” event at the Cobo Arena, and we were told that students with good grades would be allowed to attend as a special reward for having good grades. Even at the time this seemed really weird and backwards to me. Like, why do kids with good grades need a “Stay in School” event? Isn’t it the kids with bad grades who should go? This is a true story, by the way, I am not doing that thing that we all have a tendency to do where we grant your younger selves a piece of wisdom or insight that our younger selves did not have in order to make our younger selves seem smarter and therefore grant our older selves an impressive legacy of intelligence. I really did think it was weird, and may or may not have said so to a teacher. It should also be noted that in every other way I was completely behind the curve on thoughtfulness and insight. Not sure why this one broke through my dense smokescreen of incredible stupidity. The point, though, is that if instead of a Detroit Pistons “Stay in School” event at the Cobo Arena, students at my junior high with good grades were allowed a white board fly-girl cameo in Mr. Cee’s “Teach Me How 2 Study” video I wouldn’t have thought or said anything. Except maybe, “Sorry dumb kids, I’m riding this A- all the way to the TOP.”
Autumn jams, you guys! So nostalgic! (Thanks for the tip, thenewsound.)

Sorry, I’d love to teach you how to 2 study, but I’m busy teaching these kids how not 2 have sex in empty classrooms, so…
I have a nannycam, I think I can teach you how we can make a little extra cash.
Either they quit having sex or I start making money- works for me both ways!
You’ve been teaching me how 2 German all day!
I prefer to learn my languages from native speakers. That’s why I hired Facesauerkraut to teach me German.
sounds like another job for Faceadilla.
Achtung Baby!
Look teacherlady, if you don’t want us having sex in here, then why are the rooms empty? Let’s get real, these Spanish worksheets ignite passions that can not be controlled!
I knew I shouldn’t have handed out the object pronoun packet today. Think, Mrs. Friday, think!
Teaching is Hard. This guy sympathizes with you.
Gifted kids REPRESENT!
prove it… spell Batrachomyomachia.
I’d like to teach you how 2 study but I’m too busy teaching you how 2 scream.
Somebody’s going to sue somebody else.
Why are you dancing while holding books?
That’s how you study mom, I saw a video and that’s what they did
Isiah was sooooo excited Gabe could make it.
Actually, when Gabe was in high school, the “Detroirt Pistons” was actually the nickname of the people who worked on the assembly line making pistons for the first batch of Ford Model-T’s.

I don’t understand the point that this is trying to make. Does it advocate studying because to me it doesn’t it makes studying seem like the lame thing to do. Notice that only 4 people are seen as the A+ students and are pelted with paper balls and in one scene a child who got an F looks like he is happy and boasting about it and then at the end when the F-kid looks like he goes to the A+ kids for help they reject him…
Why did I write all that out? I don’t know.
I’m clearly confused and need a detention… I’ll be in detention guys.
The first step in learning how to study is to punch the lenses out of that pair of Real D glasses you got at Toy Story 3 during the summer.
Dear Bing:
Who are Flynt Flossy and Whatchamacallit?
And what do they have to do with studying?
I’ll just leave this here:

Frankly, I would select Stretchy Pants being the 9th Autumn jam over this studying nonsense.
is it just me or does this song sound suspiciously like that really sexually explicit “Whisper Song”?
my boner is confused.
It’s a parody of Teach Me How To Dougie, so your situation is justifiably somewhat confused.

apparently, im not down with the new sound. never heard that song before.
and by referencing the Yin Yang Twins, my knowledge of rap is clearly stranded in 2004.
The girl who did the Carlton dance while dougie-ing is my hero.
THank U Lolx
I’ll teach you how to study when I get taught how to be a productive and useful employee.
However you are gonna study, make sure you start with spelling!
She had a dictionary in front of her too. May have been right before this shot actually. Ohhh this irony is killin’ me!
I’m fairly sure that was intentional, either to be funny or to play on Teach Me How to “Dougie.”
Am I the only one who finds adorable and nice? For all the cynicism and this site has been accused of, it’s refreshing to prove those people wrong and see something like this. We can still have fun and recognize something is totally ridiculous and somewhat awful.
For those who disagree or tl;dr
I agree, but when Gwyneth sings this on The Walking Dead next week, it will be a different story.
This made me laugh a lot. Now I really want it to happen.
I want it to happen so that Gwyneth can get horribly eaten by zombies… or walkers… or whatever.
Agreed and holy shit I want to study so good now!
Agreed. I thought this was kinda adorable.
YES! So happy I got to share this joy with you all, I knew Monsters would appreciate it.
Oh, you better believe THIS IS MY FUCKING JAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM!
I will not tolerate that language in my classroom young man
Huckabeast gettin’ a shout-out, too. It’s the Rockawear of educational rap videos.
True, I like to think that when she bucks at the girls next to her for making fun of her A+, that it’s actually Huckabeast bucking vicariously through her.
Also, she is wearing another Sesame Street shirt under her Sesame Street hoody, which is almost too much for me.

If only Gabe’s grades had been high enough to attend that stay in school event, things might have turned out differently for all of us.
I think a precedent has been set here: never before has anyone ever successfully been able to make a rap that includes the word “khakis.”
I’m still concerned with the phantom First Autumn Jam. Does it exist? Is it a secret? WHERE IS THE FIRST AUTUMN JAM!?! #EnquiringMinds
When I’m reading I like to read in Real D as well
