The side plots, though zany, don't amount to much, either. In fact, the entire enterprise feels more like an extended Saturday Night Live sketch and many of the actors have, in fact, appeared on the show than anything else.

She brightens when Scott, a new teacher, turns out to be rich, and she stops showing films and sleeping in class when told there's a bonus for the teacher whose class scores highest on the state exam. Her competition for Scott and the bonus is cheery and tightly wound Amy. Amy digs for dirt on Elizabeth who cheats her way toward Scott's bed and the money.
Honesty with students seems to be her only skill. She ignores Russell, a droll gym teacher, who looks on. Will she succeed with Scott and get those new breasts? She doesn't give an "F.

Goofs The same exact shot of a student in Ms Squirrel's class is shown at two different times in the movie. However, this is used as a comical shot to show how this student feels about Ms. Squirrel's class. Quotes Elizabeth Halsey : Sign my yearbook. Connections Featured in Breakfast: Episode dated 17 June User reviews Review. Top review. Just watched it. It's just a timepass movie, watch if you have enough time.
Go limp. Play dead. Disengage from your surroundings. I noticed that, for the first half of the film, she rarely steps out from behind her desk.
She tries to keep interactions with students to a minimum. As the film progresses, Amy is driven to madness as she fails again and again to topple Elizabeth. By the end, hellbent on revenge, she could be described as a cross between Captain Ahab and Frank Grimes. While Ms. Squirrel is an extreme case, I definitely knew teachers like her.
Their lesson plans are complete months in advance. Their rooms are neat as a pin, with motivational posters in every corner. These teachers gladly volunteer for extracurricular activities and fundraisers, usually as an attempt to get in good with the administration. At one school where I worked, the English teachers got along so poorly that the librarian had to act as our department chair just to keep the peace. And speaking of keeping the peace…. Remember that administrators mainly just want to avoid controversy.
Another brilliantly observed character in the movie is Principal Wally Snur, a fumfering, ineffectual nebbish played to perfection by John Michael Higgins. Like many real principals I knew, Wally desperately wishes that any actual problem in the school would be kept far away from his desk.
Being a school administrator is an inherently tense, ulcer-creating job. A successful principal must keep the student body relatively under control while simultaneously appeasing both the faculty and the parents.
Sure, Elizabeth skimmed off the top of a school car wash, but it was still a highly profitable fundraiser, so Wally is willing to look the other way. Amy is livid about this, but just about everyone else involved is satisfied. The best strategy for a subpar teacher who wants to stay employed is to lay low, avoid making waves, and hope that the principal barely knows who you are.
Elizabeth is no dummy; she should be too smart to smoke pot in the parking lot or the gymnasium. Keep that shit at home. I met numerous teachers who were a lot like Lynn.
