Abbott Elementary Recap: The Cool Teacher


Gregory finds out that with great coolness comes great responsibility.

They sit across from Gregory as he silently munches on his salad, and they antagonize him in an endearingly Black boy way, asking him if eating vegetables will “help get the ladies” while laughing and dapping each other up between farts. Fed up, Gregory puts a “Do Not Disturb” sign on his door, keeping the boys out but not deterring Mr. Johnson and Melissa, who make him question if he’s turning his back on his duty as a teacher. The show’s comedy works best as an ensemble, and with Janine separated from the school during her fellowship, the chemistry is fractured, with the cast finding its footing in smaller group scenes and new actors easing their way into the Abbott Universe.
