Fiction Isn't Fair: Difference between revisions
→Live-Action TV
Line 53:
** This is at one point subverted. After Buffy was expelled and Snyder refused to let her back Giles threatened to make a formal complaint. Snyder tells him to take it to the school board. Giles tells him he was thinking of the state supreme court. This leads to a compromise.
*** Actually it doesn't. Snyder still refused and only relented after Giles basically threatened to beat the crap out of him.
** Being fair, Snyder was originally the vice-principal, and in the typical high school administration the traditional role of the vice-principal/dean of students is to be the Bad Cop in [[Good Cop, Bad Cop]].
* ''[[iCarly]]'': First, how the teachers at the school behave towards the students, but don't get into trouble. One example would be in "iHave My Principals" where one of the teachers gives Gibby a detention for '''being too Gibby''', and they introduce uniforms in about a day. And an elaborate surveillance system.
** Secondly, how Sam has managed to not get expelled. This is at its worst in the early episodes where Sam is a major bully. In the later episodes, you have to wonder how she even manages to pass through the grades, considering Sam appears to fail every class, is lazy, never does homework, and actively aggravates her teachers. This is after being held back once already in third grade.
