TEACHER’S PET PEEVE

Regarding the article “Showing Their Credentials” (by Michele Willens, Sept. 1):
Here’s a little-known secret in the teaching business: Many students look forward to, and even love, going to school. Not necessarily to learn, although it happens anyway and is a terrific secondary gain, but rather to see their teachers. You see, TV producers, you don’t need to portray teachers as caring, altruistic, dedicated and quick-witted--THAT’S WHAT WE ARE!
Why are classrooms suddenly the hot situation for situation comedies? Because teachers consistently educate, amuse and uplift, and that is entertaining. I just hope your new shows are as good as the real thing.
