intro

Monday

Laughs and dismembered limbs in the classroom - gotta go back, back, back to school again...



Just for a bit of fun, thevine.com.au have compiled their top ten ‘worst schools from movie and TV land.’ It isn’t clear precisely what their criteria is, but the words ‘depravity’ and ‘chaos’ appear in the intro, so the selected shows and movies can be pretty much divvied into horror (i.e. Woodsboro High in Scream and Erinsborough High in Neighbours - oh, the horror! the horror!) and comedy (i.e. South park Elementary and Springfield Elementary).

If the list had taken a less flippant approach, you could bet your buck on a guernsey for the schools from Dangerous Minds (making Mr. Tambourine Man educational!), Lean On Me (Morgan Freeman as principal!), Half Nelson (drug addicted teachers!) or Dead Poets Society (boarding school twats!). The latter features Robin Williams as a teacher, thus fulfilling the criteria for comedy and horror - standing on top of your desk might be fun, sure, but imagine rocking up to class with a hangover and having to deal with all that unrelentingly high octane cheerfulness...

  1. you've GOT to be kidding me! they list degrassi junior high on that list! That school was totally the coolest! not only did they have awesome canadian accents and got to wear casual clothes, but there was always plenty of shennanigans going on! teen pregnancy, drugs, crime, degrassi had it all!
