All my old teachers were doucheballs.

Got through them all. A quick google tells me that season 2 is only halfway done, so I'll check back in a month or so and watch the rest.
Thanks! That was a worthwhile binge of media! Much to think about and very well spoken and emotionally effective (to put it mildly).

I thought about writing to one of my old teachers who said that my brain wasn't "right" for college when I graduated from college, but decided not to. He had retired only a year or two prior and I thought that getting a letter like that would hurt him almost as much as his words had hurt me.
I did, however, invite my 5th grade teacher to graduation and she came.

I'm 51 and talk to my 1st grade teacher a few times a year. She is an amazing person!

It reminds me of the first season of Silicon Valley

I miss all my old teachers, even the ones who seemed mean and grumpy. Some of my elementary school teachers would be in their 100s by now. They were hard-working women who trudged through storms early to get their various one-room schools (before my time) warm and ready for the local kids wandering in. I can't write letters to the ladies who taught me how to write letters, but I am collecting information to put up on the internet so other people can read about them.

Rowntree's webcomic Subnormality is also excellent.

I really liked Episode 3 — “Homeless People Bother Me.”
