Teachers

I'm a teacher and I think this is funny. There are so many things that they say that I'm sure many teachers actually feel. The "politics" behind public education are shameful, and these ladies highlight some of those ideas. Is it the most realistic show- not by a mile- but that's why it's funny. It makes me think of Kids in the Hall or Baroness von Sketch Show.

It is a sketch comedy about Teachers dealing with real life. It is funny, edgy and has some pretty sly humor. It is not meant to be a vehicle about teaching kids, it is a takeoff. Some folks need to grow up a bit, and use some common sense. The ladies do an excellent job, and what I see here in Oak Park is very well represented in a satirical sense.

To everyone getting bent out shape about jokes on this show - "Lighten up, Francis!". It is a comedy TV show, not a documentary. Wife and I have both taught elementary and middle school and find the show funny. Think Always Sunny in Philly + scrubs in a school setting. It is edgy and clever without taking itself too seriously. Characters are exaggerations of flawed people but still manage to be likable and relatable. Gets funnier the longer you watch so don't give up if not blown away by the pilot.

Highly recommended for those with a sense of humour & not too easily offended

This show is B.R.I.L.J.A.N.T.! Coming from a Dutch a teacher with a sense of humor ;-) To the other teachting critics : it is comedy: not a documentary. Everything is so exaggerated over the top and (politically) incorrect. I LOVE IT! I recognise every stereoype teacher in my team. Love the perfect cast, wonderful script and the music is so wel done. I love it. Not for the faint of heart . I love it .
