    Feeny is who I emulate when I teach. I had a teacher in 3rd grade, Ms. Nancy Mangalardi. She taught me, she taught my sister, she taught most of my family. The thing that set her apart from all the other teachers is that she never gave up on a student, not even one the principal herself had given up on. And today I'm now a successful sales manager at a pharmaceutical company and I teach religious ed.

      Tai Kessler why is teaching a religion not a success? If it’s an honest good job where he works hard don’t put him down for it. Just because his job may not be a job where he makes a bunch of money doesn’t make it a bad place. If he likes what he does and he is passionate about it then that is the only thing that counts.

    For those who didn't know, Eric called the tutor the night before the exam asking for help. She insisted on just giving him the answers, but Eric expressed no interest in cheating. Ms. Heart reiterated by saying how hard the test is. Then Eric caved while she supplied him the answers. As a tutor, Heart was ONLY interested in Eric's looks which is disrespectful. Then she verifies this by demeaning Eric saying he is not the booksmart type. It's even more cruel because Eric didn't snitch on Ms. Heart. Feeny gave her grace by not firing her. She got off very easy.

    "How could you do this to him?" is one of my favorite Feeny lines. For all the crap he gives the boys, he cares deeply about them, and seeing another educator give a student the easy way out to "help" them is probably one of the worst things you can do to a student in his eyes.

      He always loved Eric as his own son which he did not have. It was so obvious in so many scenes they had together. In the last goodbye episode when Shawn says "come on you know we were your favorite students" that was so true. They were more then his favorite students, they were all like his kids. I had a teacher that always comes to my class' high school reunions and still remembers all of us. And its been 23 years now and 30 of us.

      It's honest, though. No matter what she was thinking when she gave Eric the answers, she was convinced that he couldn't do it by himself. Whether she likes him as a person or not, the second you convince yourself that someone can't succeed on their own hard work, you admit to having no respect for that person's intelligence. Everyone can learn. You just have to put the effort into finding the method that works for them.

    • @gnirolnamlerf593
      @gnirolnamlerf593 Год назад +1

      The point Feeny was making was that she _wasn't thinking_ . She saw cute Eric, was easily taken in by his dumb act because it seemed natural to be taken in, and, without realizing it, operated under an assumption that didn't respect him or his potential. I am reminded of the last scene in the series where Shawn tearfully tells Feeny that he "never gave up on me, not once." That's the way you've gotta be as a teacher, which I can say after 49 years of teaching, and counting. (August, 1973 to October, 2022) Sadly, there are plenty of students who give up on themselves. I myself, in college science and math courses after having very supportive teachers from elementary to high school, who treated me as an individual instead of as a number on a printout. Unfortunately, I didn't have college science and math teachers like Feeny. Fortunately, I did have tons of them in other courses. Same in grad school. Some who gave up on you, sometimes cruelly, if you weren't a star student, and some who had confidence that you could learn what they had to offer and use it productively.
      After all, a teacher doesn't teach a student anything. A teacher guides a student in learning. Even if you're giving a lecture, it has to build on the previous lectures and you have to help the students make the connections, so that they learn to do so on their own and continue to do so after they are no longer in your class. Feeny does this here with the Normandy invasion example. If you don't actually believe the student can learn, and the student doesn't either, partly because you don't, what level of guidance are you going to give him or her?

    One thing I appreciate from this scene - Mr. Feeny asks Eric who gave him the answers, only for Eric to say it was someone "last year". Just as Mr. Feeny was ultimately proud of Cory for not ratting out Shawn earlier in Season 2 about the "Weeny" thing, he didn't press Eric any further after Eric gave this answer. Some nice consistency between the, even if wasn't intended.

    3:35 is when this gets unexpectedly deep. "Oh, you resent that? Because growing up with a pretty face, you had to work twice as hard to be taken seriously? I should think that you, more than most, would want to help this young man have his chance at being taken seriously." My mind was blown at that examination. This show wasn't afraid to shirk expectations and incorporate deeper lessons on life. I've been watching Girl Meets World, and honestly, it's nowhere near as good as this (though to be fair, it was Disney and they tend to sugarcoat things).

Eric is very much a people person, he's smarter than he acts, and he's incredibly wise when the situation calls for it, but he's also a fun loving goofball that likes to enjoy himself and make people smile.

Before him, I always struggled with math and only barely got passing grades. First and only time I ever bothered taking after school lessons from someone. I still struggled with it for a very long time, but I did eventually learn. He kept explaining it to me, in various different ways and he didn't quit until I got it. By the time I left his classes, I still wasn't amazing at math but I at least understood it and started pulling more comfortable grades in it from then on.

This came out during a time when "zero tolerance" policies started taking over all the schools, no questions asked, you cheat you're suspended or your fail instantly. He commanded so much respect, and the students knew he actually gave a shit... that making them reflect upon these mistakes was enough to set them on the right path. I would say I was blessed enough for SOME of my teachers growing up to be like this, and they were the ones that made me a better person. God this show was so good lol.

    BMW was so much nicer before they dumbed down everyone else and started focusing on Cory and Topanga. Eric was so much more than an empty head and Shawn had struggles, and Cory was not all about stupid decisions, and Topanga wasn't annoying.

    Topanga is a " pretty girl" she is also a stellar student. That stereotype of " attractive=dumb" is just that a stereotype. Eric is much smarter than he gives himself credit for. In fact even after his " goofy transformation" he is often the voice of reason Among his friends.

    One of the best lessons ever. I remember this episode. Ms. Hart was a really bad tutor, and everything. She really made Eric feel dumb and low of himself by giving him those answers; and then she ended up telling on herself, but Eric is the dumb one? I think she underestimated him. She should have worked with him harder. But in the end, those two learned it’s not about looks, it’s about smarts, courage, and actually trying. The only way you be successful is if you try; use your damn head. Because looks fade. Show some effort, some enthusiasm, something.

      Sad fact that some of these teachers become jaded and take their position for granted. I was a student teacher once, and now it didn't pan out. I was assigned to a high school in a rough neighborhood to an English teacher who said under their breath that some of these students "were little shits." However I have never seen a teaching assistant pull something like this. Writing off her student because she feels he is not smart enough.

    You know I would have LOVE to have a teacher like Mr.Feeny growing up. Because he never once gave up on any of the students in his class. And he even gave a few slaps of reality to those who write people off of the small things. Think about Shawn, and Eric. He never once gave up on either of them cause he saw something that he already KNEW was in there. They just needed someone to show them what they are capable of doing. There is a lesson with Mr. Feeny
    RESPECT YOUR TEACHERS
    Not all of them are going to see the same way Mr.Feeny does
    But there are some maybe very rare people who DO. Learn from them, listen to them, take in every single lesson they give you. Cause if they are not going to give up on you, then you shouldn’t give up on yourself either!

  • @RobertCliff-ml9oh

    "How could you do this to me Eric?!" "I DIDN'T". Once again she assumed the negative about him. And if you notice, even though the camera pulled behind him, you could see his head move so he clearly gave her the look that said "YOU did... to yourself." Showing at the absolute least he may not be the smartest, but he's loyal.

      Mr. Feeny's a wise and observant teacher. I imagine he's correct about the laziness. I think it's a combo of both laziness and insecurity, academically. Besides, don't you remember in an earlier scene when he tried to convince Feeny to give him a B for the next quiz or so, for free?

    It was a great touch not having her apologize to Feeny or Eric. It shows the shame she feels and that she knows she does not deserve a second chance. An apology will not make up for what she did and Feeny knows that, she needs to be better and feeny being the wonderful man he is will hold her to that until she learns from her mistake. This is how great people give lessons

I told her thank you.

    Tori underestimated Eric's intelligence. She reminds me of my boss. My boss doesn't seem to believe in my skills. She was upset I had signed up for a one-person shift. She scolded the manager below her rank (then 25) for not noticing I had signed up to go solo. When she asked him if she thought I could do the shift, I answered for him with a firm "yes," because I felt belittled by her. She said she didn't think so, was all "I've told you not to sign up for shifts by yourself, I've been very clear about that, I don't know how much clearer I can get for you to listen," and she told me I need someone there to give me instructions and guide me. Sure, I'm kind of a slow learner, and I have made "weird" mistakes at work, but still, the label is nothing more than an assumption. What's funny is my newer coworkers, who only started a year ago (same time my boss scolded me), are allowed to work shifts alone. Four years prior to that confrontation, and she had no faith in me.
    Well, I'm quitting the job as soon as I get one at this bakery in downtown. And one day, I might do something noble or amazing--kind of like zeros to heroes in movies--and my boss might praise me for it. And you know what I'm gonna tell her?
