Shes starting this year with a fresh start and a new part.
After enjoying a barbecue breakfast, Ava hosts the Abbott teachers for orientation.
So I will see you there, gaining the respect of Barbara and Melissa.
The next part of her mission is to get an appropriate desk that would accommodate the wheelchair.
Presenting accessibility in a non-patronizing and uplifting light is something I love aboutAbbott.
Another thingAbbottdoes skillfully is present the limitations of the American education system, specifically underfunded inner-city public schools.
Increased workload with little funding is a problem within schools across the country.
Welcome to the Philly public-school system, where you never have what you need.
His painstakingly scrupulous tactics earn him an intervention from Barbara.
What if one student takes longer than expected to grasp a concept?
What if theres a snow day?
Gregory eventually warms up to the idea of relinquishing control.
Barbara once again mentors Gregory and gives him wise advice.
He rejects this notion, saying its unfair.
Shes three months late on rent and dipping and dodging calls and emails from her landlord.
Janine, unable to admit to having shes a hard time post-breakup, brushes off his concern.
Gritty is apparently beloved throughout the city, and the entire school is excited about his appearance.
Except for Gregory, who doesnt get Gritty.
Honestly, neither do I, but I enjoyed their excitement.
The buildup of unfortunate events causes Janine to finally break down and admit to having a hard time.
And youre at the beginning, not the end.
Gregory and Janines will-they-wont-they dynamic is so precious.
Hewouldbe the only one to notice the change in her part.
That made me melt.
I missed Mr. Johnson so much.
I hope that school gets a replacement fire extinguisher eventually.
Abbottmay have the best one-liners in recent television.
