Question re: Boston Public
 

How did the show begin?

What was the pre-title sequence(S) about?

Thanks.

 





 

also, what school kicks out pregnant students? my school had pregnant chicks, and we weren't nearly as messed up as Winslow.

yeah, pregnant girls in school is the least of their problems
for one thing harry senate should be in jail for the gun incident

or the fight, or the murderer, or the...

Thanks

forgot about those, and the fight was last week :)

I thought the "smell this shoe" lady was gonna kill Ronnie, whoops. :blush:

The "Smell the shoe" lady had me LOL! because she was just in the zone of that role. Ronnie's expression was priceless.

BTW, Jeri Ryan does look nice in a pair of jeans. :)

It is very common for pregnant student to be sent to "alternative" schools. Sometimes it is also done with students with children and includes activities for the children and parenting skills classes. Note that this isn't "kicking them out", they are still in school.


So, is it just me or is "hook" getting scarier... (from preview) I wouldn't accept her invitation to "come in"!

The few pregnant girls during my high school days also did a disappearing act.........

i'm just saying, pregnant girls stayed in my school...i would thing winslow would be a lot more liberal on that area considering their record on teachers carrying guns and the such.

hook lady is scary.

shoe lady was funny, but the last few times she came in, she really had a reason for him to smell the shoe

I'm wondering if the hook of Hook Lady will be changing sizes in the coming episodes as foreshadowing of bad things to come? :)

Gruber and the Hook. Bwah-hahahahaha! "Want a cookie?"

Holy sh*t... The season began again? How long ago? What did I miss? :(

You've missed 2 episodes.

I'm kind of surprised that they are having the teachers revolt against the hiring of a teacher without credentials. From what I understand, this is very very common. Especially in California. Most teachers start out getting Emergency Credentials and attend school at the same time to get those credentials. My brother is a teacher and he said that something like 40-50 percent of teachers today are working with Emergency Credentials.

Surely the Jeri Ryan's character, having been a lawyer, is more than qualified to be hired under these circumstances. Either way, I loved how she made the statement in the secret meeting about how wonderful it was to be working in an environment where people don't backstab each other. Priceless.

And how unpolitical they were, and how virtuous they were. The Michael Rappaport character (Dan?) was about to bust a gut, trying to not to LOL.

I taped them. Need me to send you a copy??

I think the other teachers just feel stupid that they went to school to study "education" or whatever and then they see these other people come in and they can do the same job without that teaching degree.

I think for teaching little kids you might need specific "Education" training, but I don't think it's really necessary at the high school level. A college degree in whatever courses you're teaching should be adequate.

After all college professors are experts in their field--they don't need any specific teaching classes to teach at the highest level.

I also loved the way Ronnie walked into that meeting and made them all feel catty for what they were doing. It immediately made me like her character.

I immediately liked her character ... from the very beginning. :D

While college professors really need no formal teaching training to do an adequate job in their profression, all others better have some form of training or we're in serious trouble. The assumption is that college students *want* to learn or they wouldn't be paying for school (not completely accurate, but much more so than high school). High school students need so much more than just book knowledge, and Junior high school students need even more than that. I remember a couple ex-college professors that tried to teach at my high school growing up, and they were horrible. They were very nice people and quite knowledgeable in their fields, but they were ill prepared for teaching in the high school environment. I'm not sure there's any need for a 4 year education degree, but without at least a year of some training, you're a liability to the students, faculty, and parents.

Oh my God! Beth Littleford in a serious role! So I guess she is no longer on Spin City? Of course, I abandoned that show when Michael J. Fox left. I miss her interviews on The Daily Show.

Man, Goober is so friggin' desperate! Is there ANYONE he won't hit on?

Anyone know of any links or can point me in a direction to download the episode (send me an email if ya don't won't to post since it's sort of illegal ;) - [email protected]).

I get most things of this sort of off morpheus, but they seem to have little to no Boston Public at all :(

I am half-serious in thinking that Guber will by hitting on Steven by the end ofhhte year...

Hit alt.binaries.multimedia on the newsgroups. If not there, you may be able to hunt them down at TheTube.
