The last period Teacher, man. This was obviously scripted but she brought that performance too accurate to experiences I had in school. Great acting but the reality in school with back and forth between 1 teacher and 1 student in class hit me hard. As a teen you laugh about it, but now im 21 - 22, there's a deeper and sadder meaning to what that does to a kid's mentality.
Ngl even tho it’s a show, we often wonder how many people wind up criminals because of racist teacher and how they treat certain students. Especially what that English teacher did at the end. That was 100% unprofessional and despite her complete frustration with that student, humiliating him in front of others students is not okay. And they wonder why teachers get knocked out. Happened at my schools a lot in NZ
The thing I like about this is that it's so accurate to the Australian school/high school experience in the early 2000s. Especially the dynamic between "white" kids and "lebanese/turkish/islanders/aboriginal" kids and the massive amounts of racism that were thrown back and forth between them. A lot of the white kids would selectively antagonise the people of colour into attacking them. Then the school administration would only supsend or punish the kids of colour because the white kids knew how to play the victim in front of the teacher. The teaching staff would know what was going on but would just ignore the wrong doings of the white kids because it was easier to keep punishing the kids who stereotypically caused the most disruptions, even if they were not always the one's who were the instigators or technically at fault during a playground dispuit. And also the various shit schools would do by separating islanders and aboriginals out from class to do extracurriculars, I guess it was meant to help them feel more in touch with their respective culture but it just made them the "other" to all their peers.
😆😂🤣Chris Lilly is a genius I like all the characters he plays they are funny as hell, Jonah is my favourite he plays that part so good and the dad whose so aggressive jeez what a mad show😆😆😆
The duality of teachers Mrs Palmer is a good teacher patient and empathetic, Ms Wheatly is the opposite. Something I always appericated within this series
