Imagine walking into the staff room at your school and just seeing your 3rd period teacher blowing O’s.

“No it is my fault. I should’ve been there”

Went into this thinking it was going to be a stupid comedy film I can laugh about and make fun of. Ended it crying. Honestly a deep insight into how bad the education system actually is and how bad it will stay if people don’t try to change it soon. It showed a lot of real life events in schools and it was genuinely a good movie
