Tony will go back to Malibu and it may or may not boost his career. However,the depiction of the students is real. I believe Tony's empathy for what he sees is real. I believe he would have made a good teacher. I believe because I taught for 32 years in the inner city,(Philly) including a month post-career at Northeast as a sub. You have to live it to feel it!

I attend northeast highschool and did so during the taping as well. Was it all fake? 85% was. Honestly, I didn't like the guy and i didn't enjoy the fact that he was ruining my school trying to become popular again. Danza, find another way to get paid.

This is not about teens that have a learning problem….this is about grown ass people that have their minds set on not learning….and the other teachers talking about the kids rights and what is law…the law keeps the teachers employed , it is as if the teachers are doing their best not to make the grown ass kids learn anything…I'm glad they have shows like this..Now I get to understand where my taxes are going…So what if the producers are making money… it cost them to produce this too…I say the kids have to get real…if they get the chance to learn and don't want to…why …pamper them and for how long do they get to be this way…other people have to work and pay taxes to have these teens carry on like this…they are not even trying…their class room attitude and the way they dress for learning speaks for itself.

If the show is a success, Danza and his producer friends will make millions. Will they compensate the students, teachers and SDoP for the use of their image? i doubt it…and the $14k they have offered to the SDoP is not nearly enough.. Philadelphia is the FOURTH U.S. city where they are trying to shoot, without compensating the talent (the kids). Nutter, make Danza's team pay or tell them to go away.
