I appreciated that he bragged on other teachers and showcased his own mistakes, but sometimes his mistakes seemed strange - as if he never attended any kind of orientation or read the school manual, because he didn't know simple things about his school's policies and procedures.
I wasn't crazy about how he seemed to be sacrificing his family relationships (that apparently were already rocky) for this television project. No matter how important education is, the reality is that he was away from his family for a show… Which is more important, really?
He mentioned the strain on his family multiple times, but then never concluded that part of the story in the end, which was so frustrating.
Also, he gave major spoilers for Of Mice and Men, Romeo and Juliet, and West Side Story. (Ironically, he tells a student, "Never give away the ending," and then spoils a story for the reader just a few pages later.)
