The History teacher is starting his first year teaching his class and starts off obviously having problems creating a sense of authority or teaching mentality to his class. he struggles with getting their attention, making them behave, and handling conflicting situations. He incorrectly breaks up a fight between two girls in class and tells them just to sit back down. He later gets in a fight with one of his students over his cell phone going off in class. They both call each other curse words. He feels extremely guilty and goes to the kids house and talks to his mother and gets teaching advice from her. he is very insecure. He begins to bond with his students when they convince him to run in the spelling b for slang words kids use. they spend time teaching and training him to know how to spell all the words and understand what they mean. He wins the spelling b. The last scene of him and his students is them getting him to "Spit a rap" while one of the kids make a beat on their desk. He is conflicted about signing up to teach another year, and I believe does not end up continuing to teach although it was left semi open ended. he end with a quote saying "being  a teacher is a gift, maybe its something you can learn, but no one has taught me"

the second history teacher has an issue building an educational relationship with his students. he becomes friends with them instead of teaching them and disciplining them correctly. He runs for teacher of the year and try's really hard to win, but does not. he freaks out and flips a desk in his classroom on front of his students and beats himself up about it.

the gym teacher is female and everyone thinks she is lesbian. she struggles with getting her students involved in the athleticism and effort of gym. she makes up interesting games to get them all hyped and on board. she explains that confidence is something you need to make them have by believing in them. she also likes the first time history teacher.

the assistant principle is doing her job for the first time when she was previously a teacher. she learns that she has to spend countless hours at the school when she is supposed to be home and comes into conflict with the gym teacher trying to get her to fix everything. she also struggles with disciplining kids.
