![]() Don’t waste it!” He certainly had time to finish that interview and then go help his friends. Teachers everywhere could be heard screaming and pounding their fists, “NOOOOO. That’s why it was such a disappointment when he walked out of his scholarship interview to help save John B. He was clearly the smartest and hardest working academically of the group, and the scholarship was definitely a big deal and something he deserved. I didn’t blame him for his fear and for sometimes coming off as a party pooper. He about lost it when a member of the gang broke into a drug dealer’s house and stole his money in retribution for attacking the group. He was so paranoid he would get caught and lose his scholarship when he was talked into sinking the expensive boat of someone who attacked him unprovoked. ![]() I can’t get in trouble.” He pleaded with them when they snooped around a house looking for gold. He complained to the group when they snuck into a hotel room and stole a gun. The whole first half of the show Pope incessantly talked about his scholarship, and how he couldn’t screw it up. I was rooting for Pope to get his scholarship more than I rooted for John B to find the gold. “BUT do not do that in the name of geography”, screams every teacher. I know that it makes a much better story for John B and Sarah to sneak onto a ferry and hide out in I what I assume is the boiler room of the boat where John B becomes so overcome with heat and sweat that he has to remove his shirt, thus, sparking flames and forbidden love (after all she is a Kook and he is a Pogue) between the two teenage heartthrobs. I couldn’t even accept it in the name of love and dramatic creativity. It’s not geographically possible! As a teacher and a lover of geography, I could not accept this error in landscape, which so blatantly points out that there is a waterway from the coast of North Carolina to the piedmont region of the state. I could not let go that they got from the Outer Banks to Chapel Hill by ferry All of that terminology I got, and that’s how I know I am a teacher. Macking on, shooting his shot, lowkey, flexing. It came as no surprise then that I quickly caught on to the slang these kids were using while my husband who was watching with me was probably a bit more confused. ![]() I usually know the teen lingo long before my friends and family do. I have taught through the years of YOLO, bae, squad, on fleek, Gucci, lit, throwing shade, that’s savage, turnt, that’s goals, and sippin’ the tea. I’ve been a high school teacher for nine years. Where’s the parent support here? Yeah, I’m definitely a teacher. They just walk all over their parents at home. No wonder these kids come to school thinking no rules apply to them. Steal and carry around guns? Sure why not.īy the end of the season, I was shaking my head in disgrace. Parents will just stand there and meekly call after them. Cause a scene and run away from a town party? Whatever. Not come home for days? Parents not too pleased but ok. Drive their parents’ boats out into the ocean? No problem. These kids just had free reign to do whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. The party didn’t even get broken up by the cops. However, by Episode 3 I was screaming at the television, “WHERE’S THE PARENTAL SUPERVISION!!?” One kid had a rager at his house and people were doing cocaine and jumping off the roof. I even let it slide when they had an all-out kegger on the beach at night. They all probably told their parents they were going to hang out at so-so’s house for the day and evening. ![]() Where are these kids’ parents most of the time?Įpisode 1 I often questioned where these kids’ parents were, but I chalked it up to being one day in the summer. A beach town where there are two kinds of people: Pogues or Kooks. ![]() There are parties, drugs, romances, and fights sprinkled throughout the show too. If you haven’t seen the show, basically a teenager and his friends go on a treasure hunt related to his father’s disappearance. But by episode 2 I was hooked and had to know what happened. I’ll admit I was reluctant to watch a show full of teens and often found myself shaking my head at these kids’ antics while muttering, “No way. The young adult, action-packed, teen drama that is Outer Banks is now #1 on Netflix. ![]()
