Introducing The Next Generation Of Leaders And Thinkers

Miss Grotke Is The Teacher We All Deserve

The role middle school educators play in your life is often very underrated for they can shape your perceptions as you grow older. The Popular Disney cartoon Recess (1997-2001) featured on of the most progressive and “woke” characters in the form of the Indian American teacher Miss Grotke.

She was studious and kind-hearted in her approach to teaching but she was also, most importantly not afraid to call out society or point out flaws in our white-washed sugar coated history. 

She displayed her feminism by calling out the forefathers for creating a gender based society and excluding women. 

When she took the Founding Fathers to task for side-stepping half of the population... ...which resulted in them creating a society that is biased in favor of one gender over the other.

She cited Amelia Earhart for her rugged feminism. 

...so she made sure to teach her class about important women in history.

She proved that you can choose to groom yourself in whatever way you please and not in ways society brainwashes you to and revealed her hair legs.

When she showed that women can choose to groom their natural hair however their heart desires.

Miss Grotke didn’t stop there, she went further and revealed the actual truth about thanksgiving that is politely ignored and well as advising to be mindful about the way history is portrayed in textbooks. 

...and then some savages.When she casually mentioned that history tends to focus on white males...

If you’re planning on becoming a teacher someday or already are one, I suggest you take a lesson out of Miss Grotke’s book.
