i remember thinking how girl meet's world was different than most shows because some of the background characters had names and spoke but one was named yogi and all the girls we're named sarah dsfcvgbhmvnhbgf
She really left the class and had a whole mid life crisis for the entire episode - even going as far as to drop out of school - because her middle school history teacher gave her an F on an assignment.
ive seen ppl in my grade (sophmore) start crying or getting really nervous for an F even a B (ok maybe they didnt cry for a B but were nervous) because they were like Strait A students or they would have strait As in particualar subject
But special education retards get free diploma. I never not seen 1 not graduate high school. That's why high school means nothing. It's just baby sitting while parents make a living.
@@cn5007 Hey. On the autism spectrum here. I'm graduating an entire year early. Grow up a little bit kid, i'm sure you'll get out of that edgy middle school phase soon enough.
@@cn5007 first,that's not how the school sistems works,people that are slow or have a mental disability HAVE to receive a different education,because regular or "average"educacion souls overflow them with stress and confusion,since it already is stressful for people that,by definition,received a normal or are receiving a "normal" education
That and also,calling someone a retard,even if they are,could come across as offensive or unsensible since it's a more simplistic way or harsh way of saying that a person is slow
@@ransherman1611 yea but part of making a good show is making it believable. A classroom where only certain kids get their papers back makes it unrealistic
I think I get her reasoning. She failed, believes she is a failure, and will always be a failure, so why bother with her. Its like she believes being a failure is part of who she is. Her reasoning here is flawed.
That I could see happening in Boy Meets World. lol Except Shawn wouldn't be so freaking dramatic like Maya always is. This is how I picture it going down in Boy Meets World SHAWN: Cor, what'd you get? CORY: A B SHAWN: Feeny gave me an F CORY: That't nuts! You're a solid D student! SHAWN: Better than the G he gave me last week... xD
I wish Mr. Feeny had been there. Would have just said "Sit down! I did not fail you. You failed yourself. I was just the one who had to put it on the paper.
That means literally nothing to me. If she needed help she could have asked the teacher! It is their job to help you and a teacher does not want to give F's. She could have asked Riley for help. She has options open and available to her all she has to do is ask. I get she has it hard and I can sympathize, but she can't throw a fit because she got an F when all she had to do was ask for help. That was her failure. Not that she got an F on a piece of paper, that she never once showed humility and asked someone to help.
Jacob Kleinsasser Well of course she didn’t, she’s trying her hardest, but on her own. All she knows at that point is that she’s a failure. Maya wanted to be tough. She didn’t ask Riley for help because she was afraid, that maybe Riley will realise it herself that Maya’s a lost case and she can’t be fixed. She didn’t ask Cory for help for the very same reason. She didn’t ask anyone for help because she was afraid. She thought she’d fix herself on her own, but failed miserably. And that hit her head on on this particular episode. If Mr. Feeny would’ve said that, it would have just ruined her even more.
@@vermillionglamour the f on the paper stands for failure. She was reminded of when her father had left and she thought she was the reason. She thought she was a failure
@@Hi-ky2wd Yeah. At first it is funny, then it goes from serious to tensionous to sad to lesson learned, then back to a lighthearted comedy, then it’s resolved.
That’s kind of the point. Girl meets world, boy meets world…it’s kids who think over the top and outrageous things sometimes learning simple lessons of life…like a grade in class doesn’t define you
Remember that scene: Maya: I once got 5 D's in one day Zay: Oh yeah, sinco D Maya Riley: *begins to laugh, then stops with straight face* I DON'T GET IT!!! Dx
@@shakespeareaddict1165 she literally was her own person tho. Just because Maya got good grades and had a crush on Lucas, doesn't mean she wasn't her own person. Her friends should have cheered her on for developing as a hunan
We find out later in the episode that Maya gave sloppy ridiculous answers to the questions on the test, so her claiming that her teacher failed her by giving her an F and that he views her as a failure, walking out of the classroom saying that she's given up on school looks foolish. And Corey just lets her leave? What teacher would allow that? I know it's a sitcom, but come on. Mr. Feeny would've called them both out on their bull.
@@Hi-ky2wd She did not CHOOSE to fail. It turns out later that her problem was that actually that she was trying TOO HARD to seem SMART. She was trying to write the answers the way she IMAGINED a SMART person would write them, instead of just being herself (and it also turned out she really did know the answers anyway).
Agree, but why would Corey not let her leave? If a student is upset, you don’t demand they stay in the classroom. If they need to leave, they need to leave
@@anayaahsan9028 She had other things going on in her life, like she just found out that her dad has another family, and yet he abandoned her, plus Maya looks up to Cory, she thinks of her as a father up until Shawn showed up, So when he failed her, she felt like she failed everything, and failed him. So I don't think she was that dramatic.
@@cn5007 Oh and I suppose you are so smart? They receive different treatment for a reason. It doesn’t mean they are stupid or incapable of anything. Maybe you need a better education to understand that and not bring down people to make yourself feel like you are better than everyone else
Or do you just not know the definition of the word disability? If you think that ableism is okay go check your privilege, get an education then come back.
my 9 year old self hated this show when it first came out. i never understood why my friends liked it. im glad people are finally realizing. edit: y’all actually was def 12 or 11 when this came out, thought it came out in 2013
Yeah same here, even when I was little I never liked this show and I’m glad people realise how overdramatic the show is and how they try so hard to act “deep” when realistically it’s just cringey.
After everyone raised their hand and the teacher said “No!”, they should’ve had one of the non-talking characters continue raising his hand. Then when the teacher says “No you cannot leave the class.” The character then says “Um you never gave me back my quiz😕”
1. Why’d he just say the last names of the main four? 2. Getting a F is a normal part of life. 3. He didn’t fail her, she failed herself. 4. Dam Maya’s a brat in this scene, it’s one F, think about what YOU can do better and not what the teacher can.
Because the show always does that with the main kids. The F is not the problem the problem is her dad just revealed he has a whole new family and he stayed for those kids but not for her. Making her feel like there is something wrong with her that made her not good enough. She knew the answers to the quiz, he failed how she wrote her answers because they where done up very out of character for her. He asks her the questions later an she answers them in her own words and she is right but she was trying so hard to be "Smarter" that she failed the test. The moral was for her to just be herself because she is not a failure and nothing about her made her father leave. She is emotionally unstable here, her father left when she was 6 and barely communicates with her via letter. Now he shows up and makes the big reveal that he has a whole life and new family and she is feeling worthless. Children of divorce suffer from self-worth issues a lot because they feel like its their fault. In situations of abandonment that trauma does normally require actual therapy to treat and she never got any. This episode is about as close as she actually gets.
You mean...just..moving his eyeballs? That's all that happened, you know people DO play back to that spot and realize that NOT MUCH actually happened...he just looked at her. There was no certain "way" he looked at her, his eyeballs just moved that's what happens when you glance at someone, his face was just like every one elses in class...well except Riley's cuz she was too busy having an unnecessary mental breakdown but...
I don't think Maya is over dramatic in this. Remember at this time she found out that her father has another family. She always looked at Cory has her father figure before Shawn came in the picture. She felt worthless that Cory, her "father" failed her. I also think this was the first time that we found out that she has no father in life.
I think she was cause in my mind its just an f it doesnt matter what she thought of him it was a grade it doesnt mean he thought she was a failure it just means she didnt do good on the test so to me she was being dramatic
Because her dad left when she was 6, she is like 12-13 here and he just came back to reveal he has a whole new life and a whole new family with kids. He never ran out on those kids but he did on her. So she felt worthless, like something was wrong with her. She tried hard to be "Smarter" on the test and just ended up making the answers not make sense (She does know the answers as shown later) but basically the outburst is her venting her emotions on her father dropping a bombshell on her days prior and her not knowing how to deal with it.
*Maya Leaves the class* *Riley raises her hand to leave the class to go help Maya* Teacher: Go *Riley leaves* *Everyone raises their hand to leave for no reason* Teacher: *NO!* LMAOOOOO SO ME XD
I just know if this was real, every single kid in that class would be tired of all four of their shit. I never noticed when I was younger on how dramatic they tried to make this show. Bruh you got an F on a test in MIDDLE SCHOOL, and walk out of the class all dramatic blaming the teacher saying how he sees you as a failure, when really he was just giving you the grade to the test that YOU failed.
I am noticing how many people in the comments do not know the show or context. It shows. The whole thing was basically to teach her a lesson. She knew the answers, he asks her later all those same questions and she gets them right. But she was trying to write them like a kid thinks a "Smart" person writes them and ended up writing mostly gibberish. The answers are there just nonsensical. The reason she was writing it like that is she is under emotional stress her father left them when she was 6, he just came back to reveal he has a whole new family and she has half-siblings and she feels worthless. Because he stayed for those kids but left her. So she is trying to be better for ther father figure (Cory) so writing like she thinks a smart kid would write it. The Lesson was she doesnt need to be like what she imagines a smart kid to be she should just be herself she knew the answers and that he will be there no matter what.
he really only cares about the 4 white kids in the class 😭 and this girl’s privileged af to where she’s offended when she gets an F. Idc that her dad has another family btw, she still feels entitled to get a good grade just because she exists
She didn’t feel “entitled” to an A, it’s not like she demanded a different grade. Maya was never a GOOD student in the show anyway. It was that she felt like she was letting Cory, her father figure, down by failing HIS CLASS. She was raised by her single mother who is a waitress, who needed to work so much just to pay rent that they never even saw each other. She saw Cory as the father that she never had, so when he gave her her first F, because she’s like what, 13? she felt like she was a disappointment to the man she looked up to. I’d hardly call that privileged or dramatic considering the actual situation.
@@sbjade9812 she literally threw a temper tantrum and started cleaning out her locker. The only reason he “thinks she’s a failure” is because she didn’t do the work😭 like you said she was never a good student so this shouldn’t be shocking to her even if it’s from cory
Riley: Can't we just call it even? Maya: No, we need to call it 'I'm leaving'. IF I COULD COME UP WITH COMEBACKS HALF AS GOOD AS THESE, I WOULDN'T BE HUMILIATING MYSELF ON A DAILY BASIS.
Ok... So... Maya gets an F and it's the teachers fault? Because the teacher didn't do his best in teaching them through life lessons and didn't encourage them to learn and study.... Yeah its TOTALLY his fault.
I actually think Cameron Casalta is right, they ARE more like Carly and Sam than they are Cory and Shawn. Cory and Shawn are so much better than these bums. Even Sam and Carly are better than them but Cory and Shawn are easily WAY on top.
Honestly would have been a great episode if a student in the background stood up and told them to shut up, that they just want to actually learn. Instead of listening to their petty drama 24/7 like that class knows more about their personal life than they know of themselves like wtf
@@andreamovi6780 Her having a single mom wasnt the issue. The context of the scene is that Maya is like 12-13 her father walked out on her family when she was 6. He in this episode comes back and tells Maya he has a whole new family including kids and he hasn't walked out on them. He also never shows up in the show again implying he still has nothing to do with her. So like many children of divorce and abandonment she has long ago internalized why she thinks he left, and that issue was her (Like most kids feel when their parents split) and now he tells her this which just confirms her own worse fears and feelings about herself. If he can be a dad to these kids why couldn't he be one for her kind of thing. Basically she should have gotten counseling when she was a child but never did and this just sent her off an emotional ledge into self sabotaging behavior and self-destructive outbursts (dropping out of school, etc) The whole point of the episode was Maya learning she was not the problem that her belief was wrong and misplaced and that she should just be herself (Especially since she knew the answers but was trying so hard to be someone else she failed the test)
Especially after finding out what Maya actually put on the test- I’m baffled and why she thought she deserved anything more than an F. I loved this show and Maya but like girl… sit down, you’re embarrassing yourself.
Its called self-sabotaging. She feels like she is a failure and so she made herself fail and so she feels like more of a failure. It stems from her dad coming back to reveal that although he ran out on her when she was 6 he has new kids and is being a good father to them (And still doesn't really have anything to do with Maya btw) so she feels something was wrong with her to make him leave. She knows the answers, but her "Trying" was to overblown and goofy she was writing what she thought smart people sounded like which just made them all dumb and silly. When asked she has the answers.
Isn’t this just a great lesson? Remember kids, if you fail a test, walk out of class because it’s not your fault you didn’t put in the minimum work required
“You failed me, you think I’m a failure” No😂 you failed yourself for handing in awful work and probably not working hard. I don’t understand how someone can get an F and then say it was the teacher that failed them.
You can tell when millennials and the older gens are commenting (I am one too) because the "If you fail its because you didn't try hard enough" mantra even though we know its full of bullshit. The situation in this episode was Maya was having an emotional break down and because she is from a poor family and never got counseling for the abandonment trauma she got at 6 when her father came back when she was 12-13 and told her that he had a whole new family she was spiraling. Because it just confirmed her own fears and doubts that it was HER that caused him to leave that she was a failure and that was why he left and got a new family. Her lashing out at Cory is because he is a father-figure and one she knows better than her own father so she is doing something called projection. On top of that she DOES know the work and answered all the questions correct when asked them. But on the test she was trying so hard to now answer the way she normally would that she ended up writing nonsense answers that didn't make sense. She was trying to be someone else. So the point was for Maya to learn she did not in fact cause her deadbeat father to be a deadbeat, and it was not her fault and that being herself is good. And when she is herself she does better on the make up test. Its a disney show, it all builds to a moral somewhere.
i wish cory was more like feeny bc i know for a fact feeny wouldn’t have tolerated their crap. just bc you get an f doesn’t mean your teacher thinks you’re dumb 🙄
It’s her fault she got an F. If you don’t work hard and you don’t ask for help, u will fail. And he might be her best friends dad and her substitute father figure but at school it’s her teacher. And he has to do his duty as a teacher.
If I were Cory Maya: “you failed me. You think I’m a failure. There’s nothing left for you to teach me.” Me: “Maya, that is the SADDEST excuse I have ever heard. You failed this test because you *refuse* to do the work and study. Now you sit down and listen to what I teach you for once.”
Except she did do the work and studied. She knew the answers she was just trying not to be herself and so wrote nonsense answers. She was suffering a mental breakdown and because she is poor has no outlets to work through it except through projection onto her stable father figure. But go on about how if someone fails its because they didn't try hard enough. Not that sometimes things align that make that thing the least most important thing in your life. Or that a system is stacked against you and regardless of how hard you work at something you'll never do more than barely succeed at the best of times.
Yeah that was a little over dramatic, but you gotta admit that there were funny moments, especially when everyone else raised their hands to leave and Cory's like, "NO", lolol. Also, Cory was not playin games when he said, "Maya, you do not walk out of here", and when he told Riley to go.
Dude even as a young teen I could never figure out exactly WHY I hated this show….it was just so cringe to me and I couldn’t figure out the reason. So coming back here 6 years later I’m relieved to see that everyone else agrees GMW was just first world problems made to be overly dramatized for children. 💀😭 Funny as hell to laugh at though
@@queerlibtardhippie9357 I don't mean that it's glorying failing a test, it's just that in the episode we're supposed to sympathize with her but like, her whole character is just so abrasive and lazy she did this whole thing to herself and yet the show treats her like she's likable. Disney Channel and Nickelodeon teen sitcoms always had to have a character like this
In my opinion you can't have the one-note asshole characters get the sympathy episode for something as dumb as failing a test, especially when it was her own fault. If you've seen the show, you know that Maya falls into the trap of "haha this character is mean to everyone laugh now" and the show more or less treats it like it's acceptable and cool and expects you to feel bad for her in moments like these. Yeah, no, doesn't happen lmao. I couldn't care less about this knock off Sam Puckett.
Wow, you mean to tell me that the trouble maker who never does her own homework, always goofs offs, never studies got an F on the test. I’m so shocked. Let me play her a sad song on the world’s smallest violin.
Everyone’s talking about Maya being a failure, but no one’s talking about Huckleberry being an old-earth creationist who uses the Kalam Cosmological Argument to reason with it 💀
I laugh at this scene everytime i see it "you failed me" saying it like its his fault he gave her an f no its bcs you dont study like shes so dramstic for what an f in middle school?😭
I thought I was the only one who found something wrong about this. The teacher doesn't think she's a failure. She just got a bunch of stuff wrong, damn. He can't give you an A after getting a bunch of stuff wrong sis.
