Bad Teacher-Bad Example 0*

Rating: 1/10 (4 February 2012)

Who made this film? Mayor Bloomberg, or New York's Daily News or Post? This is just something they would concoct in their never ending assault on teachers. Teachers come across as lazy, incompetent, uncaring people, who smoke weed on the side and engage in outrageous behavior as well.
What a role for Cameron Diaz! I read somewhere that in real life she couldn't wait to get out of high school.
While this is supposed to be a comedy, it was made at the wrong time. Teachers are terribly unappreciated by society and this piece of junk only adds fuel to the anti-teacher venom spreading throughout the country.
The Peter Principle is applied here at the film's end, but by then you're really annoyed at what you've seen during the 90 minutes that this garbage is on film.
By the way, where were the parents if the teacher were as bad as the film depicted? The principal was also out to lunch. As for the one supposedly outstanding teacher in the building, if her's was an example of great teaching, I'll eat my hat!
Awful film.
