Mr. Turner: "You live next door to Feeny?" Mr. Matthews: "It's not something we brag about" Mr. Turner: "You live next door to the Matthews?" Mr. Feeny: "It's not something i brag about"
A contract. Usually unions go on strike because management violates the terms of a contract. Or the unions forget to ask for an escalator clause that their pay would increase at the same rate as inflation. Point is, get everything in writing or at the very least if you’re in a single party consent record all conversation. Unfortunately for them Pennsylvania is a two party consent state so... that last part is irrelevant. Contract law is fascinating to me.
Unfortunately Mr. Turner didn't, such a shame😓. He became one of my faves almost at the first time i saw him, his bond with Shawn was just amazing. And i love Mr. Feeny and Mr. Turner relationship, they are pretty hilarious together. I needed more Mr. Turner in the show😓😢😩
Well I don't know about everyone but I grew up watching Boy Meets World, Step by Step, Family Matters, Full House, Wonder Years, Growing Pains, Blossom, Fresh Prince of Bell Air, Saved By The Bell, Home Improvement, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Clarissa Explains it All, Salute Your Shorts, The Dinasuars and I loved them all and that is just off the top of my head.
My fifth grade teacher was my neighbor. My dad asking "do you have homework?" My teacher yelling over the fence :"yes!" As Cory said in the first episode:"I wanna move!"
There was a different solution than force them to take the test. Have them write an essay. Tests don’t show understanding of the book but an essay would
And they weren't willing to discuss what used to happen to forming unions in the labor movement days. These kids go on strike, their parents punish them. Those workers went on strike, the company hired people to break their bones.
To be fair, the kids do have a point.They saw what they thought to be unjustice and tried to fix it with in a lot of countries, rights protected by the law! They tried to change the world into a place they belived to be better. Was it well done and well executed? HA! Nope ... but they did what they belived to be good. Just because they are kids they shouldnt be dismissed. I could make a underhanded joke about a less mature baby beeing in the white house right now but it feels redundant and overmade. THe point of that joking beeing in the end that adults can be a lot more imature than children, so genuinly listen to them and take them seriously, otherwise we will never get a new view on things.
Never say “your just kids” my therapist told me that through my life adults will underestimate me and brush me off because I’m a teenager and that’s some real stuff being a kid is the time we’re we are supposed to learn how to handle things how are we suppose to do that if adults see us as not possible to handle things Edit:my dad did this to me this morning he knows pulling the covers off of me makes me upset and in a bad mood yet he still does it he acknowledges that it is hard for me to get up but then follows it up with your not special for it and everyone has trouble getting up in the morning
some people are night owl and function better at night or later in the day. also teens are future adults and will have right and everything. a lot of what we do later in life is heavily affected by our upbringings
Kids of today who use their own disinterest in school and learning as an excuse for protesting things like homework, bad grades, strict teachers, etc. need to be taught that very lesson: if you don't want to get an education, then get out there and find a job. They will find that, unlike school, the job market and world of work are very unforgiving--unless your boss likes you and cuts you all the breaks.
I do remember one of my teaches use to punish the whole class if just one student did something wrong. I didn’t organize a protest but I think that is something that should be fought and protested.
Hey, it’s your own fault too, you should have given them the test first, show Feeny the progress of the students, negotiate with Feeny about test taking methods, and then make the offer to the students. Duh! 🙄
wow this is like forcing ppl to accept a huge ass lie. trust me if an employer broke a rule/policy/law/contract they would be sued and that employee wouldnt have to find a job ever again
Mr. Turner : You sleep on sheets with little dinosaurs on them! Corey : Rocket ships! Me : It doesn't matter, same thing, we get the point : you are a five year old.
Mr. Turner and, Alan and Amy have a point but I feel like, if Mr. Turner had told them about the deal he made with Mr. Feeny in the first place and asked them if they wanted to prove Feeny wrong, promising that there wouldn’t be a test after this, then things would’ve gone down a lot better.
School really is like a job. I have a job now and it’s not nearly as stressful as school was. I’d rather deal with an angry customer then a disappointed teacher because I didn’t understand the material well enough. Trust the job I have now is very fast paced but I don’t think I’ll ever be stressed as I am in school.
This doesn't really sit well for me. The students were lied to and when they tried to fight and injustice, all the adults had were "You're kids, therefore you do what we say, dang it!" If a teacher or parent tried to do that crap in real life, the kids would never trust them again. Maybe Mr. Turner should have made the kids interested in the book without claiming he won't test them. That way, when the kids protested the test, it's just because they don't want to do it, and then everything the adults say in this scene is valid. That or make Mr. Turner admit fault fully and then warn them that people will fight you back when you strike so you must make sure it's worth the potential harm and in this case would be "either take the test or fail it and be forced to get a job".
Yeah…that “job” blackmail by Alan was a chest-thump add on. Cory and Shawn wouldn’t have had time during the school year to effectively balance salaries and homework. “Take this or die” was more of a sour joke by Feeny considering his example earlier to Cory in Father Knows Less about him missing the WWII end broadcast…a single failure for something worthwhile isn’t inherently crippling, but sustained losses of trust add up.
I always liked Alan’s line “or you can go out into the real world and take an immediate test called find a job or starve.” Can’t get more real o’clock than that.
Alan had some compelling moments considering his history...but he really tended to be written as a flippant bully over a guide when he encountered problems: casually saying he wanted to hit his sons over outside disagreements, purposefully stranding them in multiple situations where resonant perspective and compromise would've helped his sons grow. The Pittsburgh 2-parter and season 6 opener had some concession from him where Cory and Topanga were concerned, and that created amiability. But honestly...Feeny and Turners' experience were what the boys critically needed to become men.
Even if it plays toward the literal 'boy meets world' scheme, this episode has always been a lesser one for me for how contradictory it is with itself and other parts of the show.
