Does ABC's hit comedy Abbott Elementary actually get the classroom right? In this episode of Ray Talks Live, we take a deep dive into the breakout sitcom centered on a group of dedicated teachers in an underprivileged Philadelphia elementary school. While the mockumentary style brings the laughs, there is a profound layer of truth regarding the daily struggles, lack of resources, and the resilience required to teach in today's public school system.
As a veteran educator with two decades in the classroom, I explore which parts of the show feel like a "documentary" to those of us in the field and why its success is a win for teacher representation in media.
