teachers

a new series premiered tonight? the oh so cleverly named teachers. how many different interpretations are there for "arrested development?" how many different interpretations are there for "teachers?"

the main character annoyed me as soon as he appeared on screen. as the show went on, the way he dresses and the way he talks only made it worse. i am, however, a fan of the two love interests, miss spicy latin cleavage, and miss priss british accent. and the overweight middle-aged bald man whose wife took away his internet privileges reminds me of swanson in a good way.

i proceeded to lose all respect for the main char when he confessed to miss priss, hypothetically, what if there was a teacher who loved teaching so much it embarassed him and so he made light of it, that he couldn't wait to get to school every morning so that he could see the light in their eyes when they "got it," and so on with the vomit-inducing homo emotions stuff. that is bullshit.

being the kind of teacher that lives to nurture that tiny spark within a student only encourages more students to turn themselves off so teachers have to work 3 million times harder in order to reach them. every time teenagers get more fucking stupid and lazy, and the educational system blames itself and bends over backwards in a futile attempt to fix it, they just get fucking stupider and lazier. fuck engaging lessons and colored pictures and different activities.

kids should fucking sit at their desks and be receptive to learning. they shouldn't have to be lured there with whatever fucking activity took the teacher 2 hours of her free time at home to plan. they should sit there, they should pay attention, and if they don't they should stop wasting the education that our tax dollars paid for. i'm not saying they need to be taken out back and shot, but they ought to go into a shit minimum wage job right that second and be made to understand that THEY WILL BE WORKING THERE FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, assuming they don't get fired for being retarded.
