They tried to figure out why someone who doesn’t want to teach wants to remain a teacher, and oh yeah. There are a lot of teachers in that boat, but not all over them are attempting satire. This is multiplied by donkey shows, narcissism, adult film clubs, a school board president with the inability to read the room, Bennigan’s next to a mall where white people used to shop, AP and College Boa...
