barbara forgetting to put her shoes on in the abbott ep last night may be hands down the best gag of the whole season
#also sorry for being a hater but that is not really regional educational conferences work 😭#they are NOT going to comp you a hotel room for that shit#your ass is driving home#i know it’s the point and the joke but barbara and melissa’s behavior was so unprofessional and inconsistent with their characterization#i’ll let it slide only because it is a regional conference#but if they had to travel out of state and acted like that… 🔪#i don’t like how they toggle back and forth on barbara#does she know everything or does she still have much to learn#can she only learn from her younger peers or can she also learn from establishment forces like educational conferences and tech innovations#as someone pretty ensconced in academia the idea of her and melissa phoning it in at the conference#or like being proven right for refusing innovations like new tech and juice with more nutrients and less sugar#is pretty irritating to me#Juice in particular. like. nope barbara was wrong on that one. i refuse to believe the juice change would’ve caused a sea change#in bathroom usage that dramatically#and like i know it’s just jokes but >:(#anyway back to my point#as a burgeoning academic the idea that it’s acceptable for established teachers not to keep up with the literature in the educational field#is upsetting to me#that’s precisely what conferences are for…#and i would think it’s#more important for teachers than Academics TM because they probably don’t have the time to comb through the latest peer-reviewed articles
