In Texas, our agriculture commissioner is very attuned to what people say about school food. If anybody says that fried, fatty food is bad then we make sure to do the opposite. When Michelle Obama said it was bad to give kids unhealthy food, Texas doubled down and made school lunch even more unhealthy, because we do not want a better world for anybody.
Willie as Skinner's de facto assistant/Number Two is always hilarious. Skinner COULD get an assistant principal, administrative aide, or secretary - but somehow is always seen turning to the deranged Scottish groundskeeper with a heart of tartan gold.

Interesting you mention that... Brings up my memory of being subtly soothed by the colored chalk vs the bright white. Even at the time it was so extremely mere of an effect that it took awhile for me to even notice. Here you are, 45 years later, mentioning.
I remember when I was in highschool the cool principal retired and in his place came a really mean looking middle-aged woman, she put up taller walls with barbed wire, we literally couldn't see the outside world, she had the entire school painted grey and made uniforms mandatory, shit got depressing real fast, needless to say the dropout rates went up, even the teachers were upset about the changes.
Reminds me of my elementary Schools. They blacked out all the windows and only removed one in each classroom when the teachers complained. Thankfully by that point I was in High School.
It's the tiny little details in the animation that elevates the Simpsons from excellent to perfection; the way that Ms. Hoover's fingers briefly hit the edge of the desk as she's trying to reach under because she can't see where she's putting her hand, there's so much thought put into it. And then there's a floating alarm not attached to the ceiling. Ehh, can't win 'em all.
The Independent thought alarm sounds like something schools would actually have tbh. (I say that from personal experience since that's basically what happened to me In school, a LOT)
Considering that even Willie knew that the colored chalk was a bad idea, I'm really not sure what Skinner was expecting would happen when he decided to keep it.
Its inside the brain of what passes as the teacher and if you set it off youre up for an anti-depressant fueled meltdown from said childless trainwreck
That's the joke / truth, schools a place considered to most to be a place of education, and learning, does not allow people to think, or use the knowledge they are taught against the school. Like being taught about the first amendment and freedom of speech, and not having it in school. You literally get taught what you're rights are, but you're not allowed to exercise your rights as a child, so they tolerate having their rights taken away when they grow, because they never learned how to or allowed to use them. Remember our public school system was set up by John d rocketfeller and Henry Ford, for that purpose.
So, does Willy just... Hang out with Skinner all day waiting for orders? Apparently he was present when Skinner ordered the purchase and distribution of colored chalk. And he just came in from off screen like he was waiting next to the window.
I love Willie. He's always this close to a full-on rant shaking his clenched fists and his super muscular arms. He was especially impressive when he was playing basketball and his kilt was blowing up with the wind. Showing all his, how does Philomena Cunk put it? His marble goolies...
Damn. I wish my school lunchroom had had that kind of selection. I thought Springfield was so damn poor, but they're offering their kids whole roasted cow legs.
I find it a little funny that the silent alarm is a simple design but someone decided to make the metal piece holding the cable on Miss Hoover's desk, detailed.
I just notice that, they could have just had the box with the wire sticking out of it but they added a Romex clamp connector has a nice little added detail
"A kid forming independent thoughts? Time to up their Ritalin and Adderall, and stick them in front of an iPad playing Fortnite and Teen Titans Go for 6 hours!"

Frankly I’m amazed that they allow a lunch lady to smoke in the school cafeteria. And classic Lisa always preaching about good morals when she doesn’t even follow them herself at least in the further seasons.
