As troubled a kid as Jonah is, as much as he needs compassion instead of force, it's a sad truth that he is a bridge-burner. It's a mechanism he's developed as a result of being stepped on and rejected throughout his childhood. I've taught many Jonahs over the last 7 years and sadly, school just does not suit some kids. They get out into the workforce, get an apprenticeship, get a new start...most of them do go on to succeed :) As much as Mr Peterson's strategies are desperate and poorly designed though, it's also a good bloke trying to deal with a difficult person.
I had alot of boys I was solid with in school who were like Jonah. Alot of them sadly ended up being more comfortable in jail and street gangs. But yep as you said a fair few of them found trades and jobs and settled down. It's sad but it is what it is
i'm french and really love what chris lilley does for the australian tv. moments like when the english teacher gets mad or when jonah reads his story are moments where the show tends to be very realistic and actually very moving. it's weird and interesting, and i hope chris lilley will go on and try to make new things that way. angry boys was a try i guess. but i'm not sure TV (who needs fun, just fun) is ready to follow.
Back when i went to school some of the teachers use to slap you on the back of the head for not listening or misbehaving and there was teachers that would legit scare the shit out of you and you know what there was like little to no kids like jonah at my school. Now a days if a teacher even looks at a kid wrong they could be fired and sued because everyone is to PC now.
The duality of teachers Mrs Palmer is a good teacher patient and empathetic, Ms Wheatly is the opposite. Something I always appericated within this series
You're right on the money man, Chris Lilley nailed it, from Jonah to his friends and to how he interacts with people, everything. Even that last scene was super realistic I've seen things happen like that in class. Hope he goes on to bigger and better things, be a waste of talent if he doesn't.
For decades maybe lilley went through the same thing and the one who acted Weatley too that's probably why there so good at making the world so real it helps emphasize with the characters
I can’t even tell you how frequently I forget he’s not really Jonah. Another note, I’m an American and we have a painful history with blackface, minstrel shows, horrible things. However- I don’t see this in that same vein at all. This is brilliant work from an insanely talented man. I don’t believe in cancel culture and I refuse to see such a revelation get bogged down in this incendiary debate over cultural appropriation. Also this came out in the aughts, things were different then and we need to look at it through those lenses.
this is over 15 years old... like white chicks came out around this time. this is an excellent portray of kids with ADHD, i think chris lilly is a genuis
😆😂🤣Chris Lilly is a genius I like all the characters he plays they are funny as hell, Jonah is my favourite he plays that part so good and the dad whose so aggressive jeez what a mad show😆😆😆
@@Teopae i used to be like him,i wanted attention,8 valued my freinds alot,my mom neglected me and i was abused,but I was l8ke johna i misbehaved but my fteinds loved me
The last period Teacher, man. This was obviously scripted but she brought that performance too accurate to experiences I had in school. Great acting but the reality in school with back and forth between 1 teacher and 1 student in class hit me hard. As a teen you laugh about it, but now im 21 - 22, there's a deeper and sadder meaning to what that does to a kid's mentality.
0:00 Dad: did you lock the car? Jonah: of course i fucking locked it Dad: don't talk to me like that you little fuck Jonah: don't walk next to me it looks gay
Coming from a former Jonah ADHD type, the remedial English teacher is the only person doing the right thing by him, the young female teacher is too emotionally biased and inexperienced to manage him and the older Councillor dude is too set in his rigid ways to accept anything more than hard and unhelpful lines in his program, I do understand why they had to adopt certain teaching strategies to survive all the Jonahs they would encounter but I also understand how the environment he is in wouldn't be helpful to his development.
The thing I like about this is that it's so accurate to the Australian school/high school experience in the early 2000s. Especially the dynamic between "white" kids and "lebanese/turkish/islanders/aboriginal" kids and the massive amounts of racism that were thrown back and forth between them. A lot of the white kids would selectively antagonise the people of colour into attacking them. Then the school administration would only supsend or punish the kids of colour because the white kids knew how to play the victim in front of the teacher. The teaching staff would know what was going on but would just ignore the wrong doings of the white kids because it was easier to keep punishing the kids who stereotypically caused the most disruptions, even if they were not always the one's who were the instigators or technically at fault during a playground dispuit. And also the various shit schools would do by separating islanders and aboriginals out from class to do extracurriculars, I guess it was meant to help them feel more in touch with their respective culture but it just made them the "other" to all their peers.
Ngl even tho it’s a show, we often wonder how many people wind up criminals because of racist teacher and how they treat certain students. Especially what that English teacher did at the end. That was 100% unprofessional and despite her complete frustration with that student, humiliating him in front of others students is not okay. And they wonder why teachers get knocked out. Happened at my schools a lot in NZ
lol I can understand the feelings of the "mean" teacher. I would probably have a break down too dealing with kids like that. But she needs some coping strategies or something..lol.
Yep, that's what's brilliant about the show. It's so balanced and realistic. There are no heroes or villains. Just human flawed people in real situations doing what seems best to them.
that is some seriously good acting though, from all of them
by far, it seems realicstic
Because they were actually real teachers.
Jonah from Tonga is a masterpiece, it uses humour but it also has so much heart
This is Summer Heights High not Jonah From Tonga.
"Don't fuck with me Miss, you'll regret it" LOL
Id love it if she fucked with me! We’ll have a great time in bed!
" dont walk next to me . it looks gaay" LMAOOO hahahahahaha

Last period teacher’s an amazing actor, even pissed me off
Their all great actors it feels so real
I think she's drawing on real experiences
She was actually a real teacher
that teacher actually pissed me off for telling him off for whispering i know its just acting but it reminds me of a racsis teacher at my old school.

And they shouldn't pick on him and pretty much call him stupid

I like how his friend backed him up at the end when miss was flipping out on Jonah. Also she sounds like my ex gf getting mad
Jonah’s friend’s name is Leon Pullami
