Mr. Feeney undermined Mr. Turner which lead to the whole situation. Getting students to actually read a book like grapes of wrath in exchange for skipping one test seems completely worth it to me.
Yeah, I had a similar experience in my Texas Government class. The professor said that the final was optional and only needed to be taken if we did poorly on one of the projects and needed to replace the grade. Needless to say I worked on my projects just so I wouldn't have to take the final.
I never really liked this show (never hated it either it was good) as a kid. But now actually being a 1st year teacher and looking at these clips. I think I love this show lol
to be fair where is topanga. plus different homerooms plus minkas was nowhere to be seen until the season 5 finale i think. plus characters came and went throughout the show. some just appeared randomly while others were explained. i mean yeah boy meets world lore is inconsistant to say the least.
So originally Corey was supposed to have 2 best friends, shawn and another kid, that's why they hung out with like 3 different kids over the first ten episodes. They then introduced topanga as the love interest but didnt know wether to keep her till about half way thru season 2/ beginning season 3. Angela joined them when they went into college much like Jack, Shawn's step brother and Rachel was livin down the hall when we see Eric and Jack going thru college themselves.
1) Cory wasn't that bad, he actually became a pretty good student in season 4 probably. And what do you know about John as a student? 2) They both make great teachers tho (especially Mr. Turner)
lol i sorta did this to one of my college professors. I was taking an upper level sociology class, i was a history major before switching to business, i took a look at the all essay questions midterm, walked up to the professor handed her the test and politely informed her that i was dropping the class
@@theuncoveredlamp Not how it worked at my school. You had to withdraw within 2 weeks, I think, maybe it was 4, or you would receive an F or an I (if you have a valid reason that you couldn't complete that semester).
@@OneWeirdDude Well, it might just be a feeling I get, but the methods applied in the US seem to be less open. Like you being fired from a job immediately (literally) just because you have one disagreement with your boss. Or holding someone to a promise ends in you nearly thrown out of school as this movie demonstrates. I could go on quite a while with stuff like prisons, tests with multiple choice rather than essay(or other forms of texts)-writing-exams, and much more.

I was a middle school student when this came out and I’m a teacher now. This is a prime example of how not to run your class. Turner made a stupid decision by saying he wouldn’t give them a test, and Fenney was wrong for forcing Turner to go back on his word. The kids in his class would lose respect for him and not be able to trust him. Fenney telling the kids “take the test or die” is a death threat, and wouldn’t be tolerated even in the late 1990s. Fenney has just lost his job with that line. Corey was equally wrong for leading a walkout. That’s not the proper way to deal with this situation. However, even as a teacher and adult, I could actually forgive Corey because he’s a kid. The two adults behavior was inexcusable. As an educator, this episode annoys me immensely. I’m always upfront and honest with my kids about my expectations and assessments. Fenney should have told Turner that what he promised was stupid, because it was, but since he already said it and made the deal, go through with it, but never do this again.
This is the scene I thought of the second Maya and Riley marched out about no homework in Girl Meets World, It does kind of make me think Cory is a hypocrite.
Lauren Raef Everyone thinks they know best when they're that age. Cory and Shawn do realise that it wasn't the right decision at the end of the episode after Mr Turner and Mr Feeny talk it through with them. So I think even if it were just for those reasons alone, Cory's age at the time and recognition that he made a mistake, does not make him a hypocrite
When Cory said that Riley was just like him, she asked if he ever did "this" then marched out with her classmates. I was like "Yes, yes he did!" And laughed my butt off
"Take the test or DIE." I'm laughing, but I'm also questioning the writers. Why have that exact word choice? Why DIE?! Why not say fail or something? That would've made it dramatic. DIE is a little extreme. Even for Feeny
i believe he's referring to his previous line about blossoming flowers. take the test and blossom or it all ends now. fail refers to just doing poorly on a single exam. not the end of everything
The class forgot One of the biggest things about the book graps of wreath in the book they were taken a stand against low pay etc wear as the class wasn't they may have read the book but they didn't grasp the idea of what the book was about
"So I say this with upmost sensitivity. Take the test or DIE."
That caught me off guard.
Utmost
Is it wrong I guessed what he was going to say exactly? lol
"Take this test or DIE"
- Mr.Feeny
History's greatest teacher.
say this now to kids in school and youll get fired. snow flakes sensitive fucks
The way he said it was scary lol
@@cazz8017 🤣
That's what they were telling us to do during COVID.
still can't believe the same boy became a teacher xD
lyenta right. when i saw gmw i was like "CORY WHAT HAPPENED TO YA"
Yeah right that show is fake no way would cory become a teacher his grades sucked in high school and college
Girl Meets World is not a real its a fantasy show they need to reboot the show and just have it focus on Cory and Topanga married life
Girl Meets World is nothing more then a fantasy show its fake lol
Black Entertainment History just stop hating we got it
"Take this test... or die." Words of life. xD
My favorite part in this is Shawn (Rider Strong) leaping out of his chair and singing at the top of his voice. He was in love with doing this.
lol I loved it
“Oh yeah I can learn a lot from you George”
“Shut up”
I did kind of love how smug Turner was looking the whole time as the scene blew up in Feeny's face.
If this was filmed today, I don't think the "shut up," line would have been filmed.
Mr. Feeney undermined Mr. Turner which lead to the whole situation. Getting students to actually read a book like grapes of wrath in exchange for skipping one test seems completely worth it to me.

Imagine what would have happened if they read 1984
I wonder how offensive it'd be considered if Cory (or some other teacher) said "Take this test or DIE" on "Girl Meets World"
Ellande Campbell We know how dramatic Cory is, so I think people would think it’s really funny
well one his daughter and the other maya, so those he can REALLY hurt them, take a away a lot.
Or calling a kid earring boi 😂
@@jalyssacaldwell5857 That was a teacher.
No homework more freedom
i think this part is related to maya's "no homework more freedom"
Feeny knows Cory. He should've known this would happen, just saying.
No matter how many times I watch this I always laugh and smile because it brings me back to my childhood
That quickly spiraled out of control...
I never really liked this show (never hated it either it was good) as a kid. But now actually being a 1st year teacher and looking at these clips. I think I love this show lol
One thing I never understood. Cory, Shawn and Topanga were all in the same class. Where was Angela.
She wasn't introduce to the cast until season 5
she transfered
to be fair where is topanga. plus different homerooms plus minkas was nowhere to be seen until the season 5 finale i think. plus characters came and went throughout the show. some just appeared randomly while others were explained. i mean yeah boy meets world lore is inconsistant to say the least.
She was not in this season

They will put that on Mr. Feenys tombstone when he passes away in 40 more years
Kruppt808 Feeny never dies 😂
Teachers are the worst students. *cough* Jonathon *cough* Cory *cough*

If you drop at mid-term isn't that an F?
@@katymvt no it was a withdrawn

The teacher looks so proud
Earring boy 💀
William Daniels god-like line delivery.
0:59 At this point he should have interrupted Cory: "Mr Matthews, what do you think you're doing?" Or else suspended the boy or something.

Mr. Turner's waffle shirt and bacon tie, still a classic!
As much as i love this scene
If studemts tried pulling that, theyd just get a big ol 0

A lot of people are hypocrites compared to when they were 12 or 13. For example, parents
Lauren Raef
Everyone thinks they know best when they're that age.
Cory and Shawn do realise that it wasn't the right decision at the end of the episode after Mr Turner and Mr Feeny talk it through with them.
So I think even if it were just for those reasons alone, Cory's age at the time and recognition that he made a mistake, does not make him a hypocrite

Christina Dimacali I was like actually he was the leader of his one... :)
There's a difference
The professor agreed no exam
Riley and Maya decided that for themselves
Oh yes. I can learn a lot from you, George.
Shut up...
...shut up
If no one takes it, the curve would give them 100
Only if the teacher allows a curve
Mob connections
"Take the test or DIE."
I'm laughing, but I'm also questioning the writers. Why have that exact word choice? Why DIE?! Why not say fail or something? That would've made it dramatic. DIE is a little extreme. Even for Feeny
Because die is more funny than failed
He wanted to show who is boss and the word "die" causes a better impression😂😂
I feel like fail sounds like he could be serious. They wanted to add humor to the scene & we all knew that Take The Test Or Die was dramatic but funny
😒 You're not equipped to criticize the writing.
i believe he's referring to his previous line about blossoming flowers. take the test and blossom or it all ends now. fail refers to just doing poorly on a single exam. not the end of everything
The class forgot One of the biggest things about the book graps of wreath in the book they were taken a stand against low pay etc wear as the class wasn't they may have read the book but they didn't grasp the idea of what the book was about
feeny was such a vibe
Nobody has to take a test. You can also take the 0.
these days, teachers encourage their students to walk out of class and they still get paid.
I agreed with Mr. Turner here and as much as I like Mister Freeny, he is wrong here.
The Grapes of Wrath sucks. I wrote a paper for college saying as much and got a b. I likely would have gotten a A had the grammar been better.
Feeny you should just have them write an essay
Does anyone wish they could have started a protest at their school
You could have
Feeny is wonderful who is also really really funny.
Give them Fs. Duh.
The girl in front of Cory looks way too old to be a seventh grader.
Oh yeah I can learn a lot from you George
I Love Feeny!!!!!
how are they seventh grade but in high school
Yeah they should be In middle school
It's a junior/senior high school, which houses 7th through 12th graders. There are some which exist in the real world too.
What Happened Cool Teacher
Where's Topanga?
They have to take the test, it's that simple. No student like it, but you have to do it.
But the teacher made a promise they wouldn't have to, and adults shouldn't break promises and lie, should they? That sets a terrible example!
1:40 Oh, like your way was any better Mr. Turner. 😤
J
And that's how they all died, and there was never any "Girl Meets World," which was better for everyone, really. The end.
