Mr. Feeney undermined Mr. Turner which lead to the whole situation. Getting students to actually read a book like grapes of wrath in exchange for skipping one test seems completely worth it to me.
Yeah, I had a similar experience in my Texas Government class. The professor said that the final was optional and only needed to be taken if we did poorly on one of the projects and needed to replace the grade. Needless to say I worked on my projects just so I wouldn't have to take the final.
I never really liked this show (never hated it either it was good) as a kid. But now actually being a 1st year teacher and looking at these clips. I think I love this show lol
to be fair where is topanga. plus different homerooms plus minkas was nowhere to be seen until the season 5 finale i think. plus characters came and went throughout the show. some just appeared randomly while others were explained. i mean yeah boy meets world lore is inconsistant to say the least.
So originally Corey was supposed to have 2 best friends, shawn and another kid, that's why they hung out with like 3 different kids over the first ten episodes. They then introduced topanga as the love interest but didnt know wether to keep her till about half way thru season 2/ beginning season 3. Angela joined them when they went into college much like Jack, Shawn's step brother and Rachel was livin down the hall when we see Eric and Jack going thru college themselves.
1) Cory wasn't that bad, he actually became a pretty good student in season 4 probably. And what do you know about John as a student? 2) They both make great teachers tho (especially Mr. Turner)
lol i sorta did this to one of my college professors. I was taking an upper level sociology class, i was a history major before switching to business, i took a look at the all essay questions midterm, walked up to the professor handed her the test and politely informed her that i was dropping the class
@@theuncoveredlamp Not how it worked at my school. You had to withdraw within 2 weeks, I think, maybe it was 4, or you would receive an F or an I (if you have a valid reason that you couldn't complete that semester).
@@OneWeirdDude Well, it might just be a feeling I get, but the methods applied in the US seem to be less open. Like you being fired from a job immediately (literally) just because you have one disagreement with your boss. Or holding someone to a promise ends in you nearly thrown out of school as this movie demonstrates. I could go on quite a while with stuff like prisons, tests with multiple choice rather than essay(or other forms of texts)-writing-exams, and much more.
@@jessicabrack2846 The election process is a democracy (sorta). Language evolution is a democracy. Some things in this world are not, and should not be taken for such. The world has to be organized or there is chaos.
The class forgot One of the biggest things about the book graps of wreath in the book they were taken a stand against low pay etc wear as the class wasn't they may have read the book but they didn't grasp the idea of what the book was about
This is the scene I thought of the second Maya and Riley marched out about no homework in Girl Meets World, It does kind of make me think Cory is a hypocrite.
Lauren Raef Everyone thinks they know best when they're that age. Cory and Shawn do realise that it wasn't the right decision at the end of the episode after Mr Turner and Mr Feeny talk it through with them. So I think even if it were just for those reasons alone, Cory's age at the time and recognition that he made a mistake, does not make him a hypocrite
When Cory said that Riley was just like him, she asked if he ever did "this" then marched out with her classmates. I was like "Yes, yes he did!" And laughed my butt off
I was a middle school student when this came out and I’m a teacher now. This is a prime example of how not to run your class. Turner made a stupid decision by saying he wouldn’t give them a test, and Fenney was wrong for forcing Turner to go back on his word. The kids in his class would lose respect for him and not be able to trust him. Fenney telling the kids “take the test or die” is a death threat, and wouldn’t be tolerated even in the late 1990s. Fenney has just lost his job with that line. Corey was equally wrong for leading a walkout. That’s not the proper way to deal with this situation. However, even as a teacher and adult, I could actually forgive Corey because he’s a kid. The two adults behavior was inexcusable. As an educator, this episode annoys me immensely. I’m always upfront and honest with my kids about my expectations and assessments. Fenney should have told Turner that what he promised was stupid, because it was, but since he already said it and made the deal, go through with it, but never do this again.
"Take the test or DIE." I'm laughing, but I'm also questioning the writers. Why have that exact word choice? Why DIE?! Why not say fail or something? That would've made it dramatic. DIE is a little extreme. Even for Feeny
i believe he's referring to his previous line about blossoming flowers. take the test and blossom or it all ends now. fail refers to just doing poorly on a single exam. not the end of everything
