Teachers

To everyone getting bent out shape about jokes on this show - "Lighten up, Francis!". It is a comedy TV show, not a documentary. Wife and I have both taught elementary and middle school and find the show funny. Think Always Sunny in Philly + scrubs in a school setting. It is edgy and clever without taking itself too seriously. Characters are exaggerations of flawed people but still manage to be likable and relatable. Gets funnier the longer you watch so don't give up if not blown away by the pilot.

This is a very funny show. You may know that One Million Moms has set an agenda against this show which is why you see all the one star reviews.

I am a teacher and I think this show is hysterical. Is it realistic, no. Does it offend me? No. I am smart enough to realize that this is a comedy, a farce Every character is an exaggeration and the actors do a great job.

Highly recommended for those with a sense of humour & not too easily offended

It is a sketch comedy about Teachers dealing with real life. It is funny, edgy and has some pretty sly humor. It is not meant to be a vehicle about teaching kids, it is a takeoff. Some folks need to grow up a bit, and use some common sense. The ladies do an excellent job, and what I see here in Oak Park is very well represented in a satirical sense.

As a teacher I did find this hilarious. Everyone has probably encountered a real staff member similar to each teacher (not the extremes, but they're there). It's a raunchy comedy for sure, so obviously not ok for kids. Are they role model teachers? Absolutely not, but it is funny and the teacher's lounge conversations crack me up.
