Glee Don't Need No Education.

A further problem with Glee is that, despite being a show about kids in high school attending school and being at school... you never see them learning.


The impact of this on the teens that watch must be considered: it places far too much emphasis on your love life, friends and extra curricular activities over your education. The youth of today needs to understand how important their education is, something that Glee isn't suggesting. We rarely see these kids in classrooms, studying or working for exams. This gives teens an unrealistic representation of their education suggesting they can get by doing the bare minimum or nothing at all and instead or breeding a wave of teens ready to learn and achieve academic excellence, it's telling teens that school isn't as important as gaining the attention of your peers. This confusing, harmful representation gives teens the wrong impression of life, specifically their life during this tender and important time.

You're not going to get anywhere in life just dancing around school and singing about your problems, kids. I hate to say it, but crack open your damn books.
