i love how mr anderson just accepted that his body was stolen and now he is a spirit and was just having fun while the rest of the gang worked on the problem

and then he simply reappeared to take his body back when the time came, as if he had spent a weekend relaxing and now needed to go back to being an adult

we were also robbed of wally and anderson's interactions, thats all i needed

i saw someone say they can’t believe we now have to rely on xavier for ghostly communications and i mean maybe you have a damn point because can you guys imagine the chaos he’ll bring?? boy’s gonna have a migraine after two minutes

[bisexualmultifandommess]

Personally I think that the ghosts should get to come back to life and can live in a house run by Mr Anderson who can home school them or something so he still gets to teach. It would be a group home for brought back ghosts.

i have so much respect for mr. anderson. i absolutely love his character

there’s so much focus in media on all the ways a teacher can be bad. in the reveal of an authority figure being untrustworthy. in someone taking advantage of the power dynamic between a teacher and student

and i get that it can make for a really interesting storyline- obviously because it’s worked so well with mr. martin- but mr. anderson is such a nice change

especially in season 2, he is such a great example of all the ways a teacher can be good. teachers are some of the most important people in a kid’s life. they can have some of the biggest impacts- for worse, sure, but also for better.

mr. anderson became a teacher for all the right reasons. he cares about his students. we see it in a more personal way with maddie, but it’s even evident in the way he interacts with these ghost kids he just met.

we all know mr. martin was in the wrong, that he is the bad guy in this. we know it, and the students know it. but it’s different- for the students especially- hearing someone say it? hearing an adult say it?

you can hear it in in mr. anderson’s voice- what mr. martin did, hurting his students like he did, it would never cross mr. anderson’s mind. and his first instinct is to protect the kids, to tell mr. martin just how ashamed he should be

idk it’s just so refreshing to see an authority figure who really is good. who really does care and isn’t afraid to call a bad teacher out. even when kids are in high school- they’re still kids. they still rely on adults to keep them safe
