shelley1234 January 7, 2023 Share January 7, 2023 That friend group is so super toxic. They all say and do such horrible things to one another. I did love how much Marcus wanted out of that group hang as quick as possible. He knows they suck. I wish Abby had a true friend she could actually talk to. Except with how much the whole group sucks, it's so shocking that no one sees just how much she is struggling. I was hoping with her friendship with Ginny that she might be able to talk to her about what is going on, but it doesn't seem so. Poor girl. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136063-s02e05-latkes-are-lit/#findComment-7816868

I'm pretty sure the guy banging on the door was the first husband she killed, who she then had the biker gang "disappear" the body and that the private detective is now looking into. Austin's dad was probably already in prison at that point. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136063-s02e05-latkes-are-lit/#findComment-7818551

I was wondering if he was the guy she was supposed to go on a date with, who ordered in. They cut to that scene, as soon as she had that argument with Paul. I can't remember how much younger Austin is, compared to Ginny, though.

dubbel zout January 20, 2023 Author Share January 20, 2023 I don't think the teacher is a racist, but it's certainly a blind spot, and he's a terrible teacher for putting the burden on Ginny to select a book about the Black experience (as if there is only one experience!) and then teach the class. He reminds me of some of the teachers I had in high school, where you know they were going through the motions until they could retire.

Yeah, let's rack up all the evidence, shall we? 1. Teaching English, but with all white writers, in 2022! 2. When is criticized for this, gets very defensive and starts treating his one Black student differently. 3. Puts the onus on the one Black student in his class to change the curriculum. Therefore, he doesn't have to do any of his own work or research to fix the problem. How will the student be judged by him for doing this? How will the student know what answer for him is "Good enough"? How will the student be graded on this work? He is literally giving one student more and different work because of their race. How is this not treating somebody differently based on their race, and that race just happens to be historically oppressed in the U.S., hence, racism. Discrimination and racism. Even if we put all of this aside, the non-white students in his class know that he only cares about the experience of white writers and is not even willing to put in a modicum of effort to be educated on any other. So how will he grade THEIR writing? From a very narrow lens, obviously. Asking people of colour to educate you about race is embarrassing in 2022, and doubly embarrassing if you're supposed to be their authority and teacher. Pretty pathetic all around.

It would have been better if he had asked her to help him diversify his reading list by providing opinions on literature he selected, but it didn't seem to be coming from a place of hate, just misguided ignorance. Just my 2 cents. She seemed perfectly capable of handling it without her mother getting him fired. That's just passive aggressive BS, if Georgia had to get involved, why wouldn't she confront him directly or report his behavior to the school board, not plant alcohol and porn. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136063-s02e05-latkes-are-lit/#findComment-7847040
lucindabelle February 10, 2023 Share February 10, 2023 Teacher here. Public school teachers don’t create their own curriculum. writing curriculum Is a paid job. Teachers often have some choices among a list of books, can decide how to deliver content and depending on school may not be teaching the same book at the same time. but NO public school has individual teachers choosing books. That’s college. I’ve taught at both. Yet another thing la la land gets wrong. also AP English is a college level class and is not open to sophomores. Juniors maybe. so contrived. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136063-s02e05-latkes-are-lit/#findComment-7864698
MBJ February 11, 2023 Share February 11, 2023 In the world of G&G, this teacher can clearly pick his own curriculum though, because he abdicated the responsibility to Ginny. So, I understand in the real world that might not happen but on this show it is. I can comfortably blame him. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136063-s02e05-latkes-are-lit/#findComment-7866826
