2023-04-01 18:46:52 +0000 UTCi've tried to get into this show and have failed several times lol i blame myself. i find i often compare the characters like "oh that's gina linetti!" and "oh she's for sure a leslie knope" which i fully think is a me thing but i also think this show heavily leans into a formula, not that that's a bad thing. i'll give it a chance again here with y'all. i do know first episodes can be rough. i mean, i don't even talk about the first episodes of the office lmao but this first episode had such a good balance of humor and serious tone. i just hope as it goes on, the characters become more of their own. because i think they are really strong anf interesting i just find myself drawing too many comparisons and it distracts me. but i think it's an important show and i'm excited to give it a go! i also think we needed a show like this. the office was a comfort show for many who had similar people in their workforce. teachers need a show like this. something that gets them, that they can relax to and have fun watching but also feel valid and heard through. it wins multiple points in my book for that!

2023-04-01 12:22:04 +0000 UTCdon’t worry, the show is rlly good at balancing comedy and serious commentary ! everything it addresses is truly necessary to discuss and shed light on w topic matter like public education in underfunded communities in the u.s. its super real but also always keeps u laughing which is something so many ppl love about the show. a lot of teachers and people who know teachers love the representation and the commentary this show gives bc its something they know and have been feeling for a while. i hope u enjoy watching!!

2023-04-01 05:27:02 +0000 UTCThat's so messed up! I also graduated in 2012 with a degree in teaching ESL K-12, but wasn't sure I actually wanted to be a classroom teacher, so I worked as an assistant to students with learning disabilities for 6 years in the Chicagoland area, but because I had my teaching degree, they could pull me to sub when they were short substitutes...which was ALWAYS! So, I never knew when I walked in the door whether I'd be doing my job that day or someone else's. Some of the kids had really tough home lives too. One girl fell asleep during math stations every day and we just let her because we knew she hadn't slept the night before. Another girl's apartment had bedbugs and I could visibly see them crawling on her coat! And so many kids had severe behavior and mental health struggles that, honestly, I just wasn't equipped to handle. Even though it's really funny, I'm glad this show also sheds some light on how difficult teaching can be. It takes a really special person to do that job and do it well!

2023-04-01 04:25:28 +0000 UTCI worked as an aid/sub in an elementary school for 6 years and this is already giving me both nostalgia and PTSD! Haha! So relatable! Can't wait to watch the rest of this with you guys.

2023-04-01 03:29:13 +0000 UTCQuinta has stated herself that she views the show more like Parks and Recreation. Also this show is HILARIOUs but also sheds light on problems in the education field in black neighborhoods / school districts. I think y’all will love it! ❤️

2023-04-01 03:23:16 +0000 UTCI used to be a teacher. I taught high school Health/PE and Social Studies. This show makes me laugh.. and has also made me cry. I will say that the Texas public education system is very different from Pennsylvania. My mom is from Philadelphia and we love watching this show together. Even though each state is different the show does highlight some very real issues with the public education system (also goes into the charter and private system later on). It shows why teachers the past 10 years have been leaving in droves. I graduated college in 2012. I only lasted three years before I completely switched my career. I spent two years as a substitute teacher before finally getting hired as a teacher and then the following year I was laid off. (That year I taught health and it was removed from AISD as a required class so I was one of many teachers let go.) and they did it at the end of May (for AISD jobs are posted at the beginning of March and mostly filled by May). I went back to substitute teaching while trying to get hired for Social Studies but in Texas high schools hire coaches first and then get them certified in social studies. The last year I tried teaching there were over 20 social studies positions available. All tied to a coaching positions. I put my first initial on my resume and got a few interviews but they were all confused when I (a woman) was showing up to their social studies/football coach opening. I left the education system and now I’m a pastry chef. There have been multiple times I thought about going back to teaching but with how many school shootings are happening I don’t think I ever will.

2023-04-01 02:30:48 +0000 UTCso excited for this series! I've been watching since last season with my mom who was also an elementary teacher for 25 years and I'm also studying to teach English and lots of this resonates with us and we love it! Every character is hilarious fr, I love them all and the show just gets better as it goes on. Truly deserved all the awards it won, Quinta and the whole cast is amazing.

2023-04-01 02:28:49 +0000 UTCAbbott is funny and it’s got a ton of heart; I’m so looking forward to your reactions! This show and Janine’s character hit close to home for me. I’m a Child Development major and I recently landed a paid internship working with two mentor teachers and their group of third graders. It can be challenging at times, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. (Most) teachers are real life superheroes and they don’t get paid enough for all the work that they do.

2023-04-01 01:46:27 +0000 UTCI love mockumentary comedies! If you like The Office, I highly highly recommend watching Modern Family for non-stop laughs on Hulu. I loved the office but this instantly became my favorite and still rewatch it when I need a good laugh. I doubt you guys would ever consider doing this on the channel bc it's 11 seasons long (it would be amazing if you did) but at least watch it on your own time!

2023-04-01 01:41:17 +0000 UTCThe characters just get better and more funny as you get to know them and as their relationships evolve after the pilot. Jacob always being so overly woke and showy about the fact that he is an ally and reading about anti-racism, is just such a funny and lighthearted way to poke fun at well-intentioned white people who just overshoot the allyship and virtue signal. Janine is such a good protagonist. so funny in a sometimes cringe way, but she's so easy to root for. Barbara and Melissa are also standouts. so funny. the actress that plays melissa was in the lindsey lohan Parent Trap movie and I love her so much. Ava also honestly just gets funnier and crazier. she def is a bit like Michael Scott, she grows on you in positive ways while always still being pretty bad at her job. can't wait for the next episode!

2023-04-01 01:35:13 +0000 UTCI'm so pumped for these reactions!!! So glad you guys enjoyed the first episode. Also, yes Ava is hilarious as hell, and a terrible principle but the actress is comedy gold. I love the dynamic between all of these characters and I can't wait for you guys to see more of them!
