who hurt you when you were a child boi an uncle maybe? or some stranger who promised candy

Tai Kessler why is teaching a religion not a success? If it’s an honest good job where he works hard don’t put him down for it. Just because his job may not be a job where he makes a bunch of money doesn’t make it a bad place. If he likes what he does and he is passionate about it then that is the only thing that counts.

Of course she'd be a good teacher. She has Manga in her name and Mangas are good which equals good teacher

You lost me at pharmaceutical company and religious ed

Really. 'Cause Morgan didn't have faith in Eric, either. Feeny did--and he was the only one.

And then Eric became Senator

@@Dane_Youssef sometimes the ones who are hard on us or seem they aren’t on our side actually believe in the person. He may have been tough but he wanted the best of his students and he didn’t want them to learn to take the easy way in life.

And then he became a hobo.

I would have expelled her ass quicker than Harley became the janitor for John Adams High

One of the best characters, I think in television history. William Daniels was excellent in this role.

Average day for George Feeny. If he's feeling fancy he might double it in half the time.

@@judaihyuga we need more like him

Not to mention an amazing soliloquy on how important D-Day was! 🇺🇸 🇪🇺

When you're good, you're good.

Kruppt808 Agreed also during the early years he usually set a trap for Shawn and Eric and they would fall right into it. And wouldn’t even realize it was a teaching moment until the end.

And when he discovered it was her, he didn't fire her or go off. He showed mercy. Maybe if she felt that someone showed her that, do the right thing next time!

Well, think about it. If you're a dedicated teacher like him who works their ass off to teach every child, never giving up or writing off any of them because you value them and their future just to have some newbie come in and easily write off one of those students as "not the student type", I would take that personally too. She is basically disrespecting not only that student but you and all the work you have put into that and every student

Gotta love how you don't see it relates to real things that happen. A show that actually has some value to it, can maybe teach some moral behavior

Well it's not just a run of the mill Tv show. It's a great one.

"You're a good teacher, Mr. Feeny." ...he's the best teacher.

He always loved Eric as his own son which he did not have. It was so obvious in so many scenes they had together. In the last goodbye episode when Shawn says "come on you know we were your favorite students" that was so true. They were more then his favorite students, they were all like his kids. I had a teacher that always comes to my class' high school reunions and still remembers all of us. And its been 23 years now and 30 of us.

It's honest, though. No matter what she was thinking when she gave Eric the answers, she was convinced that he couldn't do it by himself. Whether she likes him as a person or not, the second you convince yourself that someone can't succeed on their own hard work, you admit to having no respect for that person's intelligence. Everyone can learn. You just have to put the effort into finding the method that works for them.

I suspect these lessons are more effective when you don't know you need them.

Liking and respecting are not the same.

The point Feeny was making was that she _wasn't thinking_ . She saw cute Eric, was easily taken in by his dumb act because it seemed natural to be taken in, and, without realizing it, operated under an assumption that didn't respect him or his potential. I am reminded of the last scene in the series where Shawn tearfully tells Feeny that he "never gave up on me, not once." That's the way you've gotta be as a teacher, which I can say after 49 years of teaching, and counting. (August, 1973 to October, 2022) Sadly, there are plenty of students who give up on themselves. I myself, in college science and math courses after having very supportive teachers from elementary to high school, who treated me as an individual instead of as a number on a printout. Unfortunately, I didn't have college science and math teachers like Feeny. Fortunately, I did have tons of them in other courses. Same in grad school. Some who gave up on you, sometimes cruelly, if you weren't a star student, and some who had confidence that you could learn what they had to offer and use it productively. After all, a teacher doesn't teach a student anything. A teacher guides a student in learning. Even if you're giving a lecture, it has to build on the previous lectures and you have to help the students make the connections, so that they learn to do so on their own and continue to do so after they are no longer in your class. Feeny does this here with the Normandy invasion example. If you don't actually believe the student can learn, and the student doesn't either, partly because you don't, what level of guidance are you going to give him or her?

Well he was wise

Eric got sillier, not really dumber. He still graduated university, even managing at one point to better his grades with little more than a mental image of Feeny guiding him at one point, he just found his calling in helping people on a more personal level. Eric is very much a people person, he's smarter than he acts, and he's incredibly wise when the situation calls for it, but he's also a fun loving goofball that likes to enjoy himself and make people smile.

@@judaihyuga and then he became senator

@@judaihyuga he probably wanted to stop being the smart one and be the fun one

@@nathannunez3127 that senator storyline is the first thing I point to when looking at the absolute absurdity of Girl Meets World.

Disney has gone the way of the dodo because of all of the wicked political correctness.

ABC didn’t hold back… either did the 90s

To be devil's advocate on Disney's part, the world has become a more darker place in retrospect. Boy meets world is a great show of what it was like as a teenager in the 90's, while today's world is verging on the movie Run, Hide, Fight.

@@jonathanfenton8695 Disney thinks men can get pregnant. They’re morons

I'd say GMW just didn't have the time. They both started off with over the top comedy. It was only later they delved into more serious issues. But GMW had half the time and in the end kinda had to rush into the seriousness

Imagine a show dropping a line like that these days. It would be canceled in a second

@@AliceInPantera And that very lesson buried with it....agreed

@@AliceInPantera he was proving a point. That someone who is attractive can be smart.

That wasn't the line with the actual point, though.

@@AguilarSquared - the point was, respect. Beautiful, and wanna be smart work. Person who may not have the smarts, teach! Potential is everywhere. Since the pretty girl had to work Harder, work harder to help the underdog that YOU don't believe in.

It's one of my favorite Feeny scenes. I was surprised I couldn't find it any where so I uploaded it here.

I love eric

a shining example of how every teacher should be

The absolute best there is. Feeny is what every teacher should strive to be.

@@judaihyuga Well said mate!

And Eric's abilities really come full circle in the last season where he takes his father to the museum and blows him away with his interpretation of the sculpture.

Will is a great actor!

@@ecardullo10 that didnt happen in the last season but yea great scene

subarashii Because it was on Disney.

I got as deep as Disney would allow it. They were constantly hammered to restrain from anything too "dark" and its a shame. The show was really enjoyable and still better then whats on now. But it had so much more potential.

@@rockbeauty3439 So was BOY MEETS WORLD. ABC is owned by DISNEY. Look, it just didn't last long enough to get as in-depth as it would have.

@@Dane_Youssef Disney and ABC are different channels tho. Also, Boy Meets World moved to ABC where they literally had shows about a 15 year old getting pregnant. Also, form what I've seen in GMW, you told a lie.

subarashii 2 words, Maya Hart.

because you're not allowed to have an opinion unless it is a certain opinion that conforms with the far left agenda

Marcus Savina and for being stupid. 😂😂

Of St. Upid Ville

Who's probably for sale.

@@christopherisiah you don’t get it. St. Upid Town is how it’s pronounced.

Danielle Speller It’s called great acting. You could tell by the girl’s expression she didn’t mean to hurt Eric and felt bad about it. She was trying to help him but in doing so hurt him more. That’s the lesson feeny was giving her.

You were very fortunate then, I wish I would have met a teacher comparable to him

I had a math teacher in high school that I learned a lot from. He was a real hard ass and couldn't care less about being your friend, but he did take his lessons seriously. Before him, I always struggled with math and only barely got passing grades. First and only time I ever bothered taking after school lessons from someone. I still struggled with it for a very long time, but I did eventually learn. He kept explaining it to me, in various different ways and he didn't quit until I got it. By the time I left his classes, I still wasn't amazing at math but I at least understood it and started pulling more comfortable grades in it from then on.

It's amazing how much impact the words "I'm disappointed in you" can have on someone. When someone says that to you, it will stick with you the rest of your life. Those words show how much someone else cares about you. My dad never yelled and never spanked but you knew when you disappointed him. To this day I keep reminding him my life's mission is to make him proud.

Who might be for sale.

I had an English teacher who wanted to see me graduate. So much that she allowed me to take my Finals even though I was suspended the day of. Long story, but I was suspended for something I didn't do and she knew I was telling the truth. When I got my diploma she was as happy as I was. I never forgot what she did for me.

NWCountryGirl17 , so many lessons from this show in a way that isn't preachy. They should show this in school nowadays so kids can be taught how to be decent human beings

All summed beautifully in the last scene of the show Feeny: Believe in yourselves, dream, try... do good Topanga: Don't you mean do well? Feeny: No I mean do GOOD

What set this show apart is it never talked down to its audience. It taught lessons, but without ever feeling like it thought its audience was a bunch of idiots. As the characters grew, so did the issues the characters faced.

I would have said,"I am not firing you, but you really should give people a lot more credit than you do."

Sad fact that some of these teachers become jaded and take their position for granted. I was a student teacher once, and now it didn't pan out. I was assigned to a high school in a rough neighborhood to an English teacher who said under their breath that some of these students "were little shits." However I have never seen a teaching assistant pull something like this. Writing off her student because she feels he is not smart enough.

Mr. Feeny's a wise and observant teacher. I imagine he's correct about the laziness. I think it's a combo of both laziness and insecurity, academically. Besides, don't you remember in an earlier scene when he tried to convince Feeny to give him a B for the next quiz or so, for free?

I agree but I do like the comedy genius of Will Friedle later on ! it's a crazy transformation from this to plays with squirrels XD

Shawn had way more struggles in later season's lol

Topanga really was an annoying brat season 3 onwards

R8-TV no,she isn't

Not to mention Shawn got smarter

I know. It's so dumb that the writers made him cartoony in the later seasons.

Exactly and eventually becomes senator of New York.

Em Seoane Could be but Hart is a pretty common name.

He really found himself when he became Batman. Bruce was a great mentor after Mr. Feeny. 😜

Not a moron, but in the later seasons he had a SEVERE case of Peter Pan syndrome

Do you think he could've done it? What exactly kept him from doing well on the test anyway (if he hadn't used the cheat notes, I mean)

It feels weird to see KITT from KR, and then Mr Feeny as a teacher in BMW. Pretty funny though, hearing Daniels without that robotic filter KITT's voice box has.

Did you also know that his voice was recorded in after episodes were shot? David basically talked into air pretending he was carrying on conversations with KITT. David and Daniels later met at a cast party

And John Adams from 1776

He’s also the original Charlie from Charlie’s Angels.

Believe in yourself. Dream. Try. Do Good.
