Badass Sci Fi’s Back to School Special

Badass Sci Fi’s interests never stray far from the realm of education. Back to school offers a special feeling of exhilaration and dread found nowhere else in life. And here at BSF, we aim not only to entertain, but inform.

Now, I possibly went a little overboard with the Badass Sci Fi Loves Lucy series. But those posts also served as a reminder to adhere to plausibility in my creative pursuits.

Here, however, and ironically so, I take a purely casual look at education in sci fi. Therefore, I dip a little deeper into the PG/PG-13 bucket for resources. And I’ll attempt to keep the post at a comparable level.

Don’t worry, there are still plenty of R+ entries, and I’m not doing a best of list or adding anyone to the Palace. It’s mostly just an excuse to throw together a collage, modify screenshots, and make some GIFs and memes.

Science Fiction in the Classroom

Mr. Rasczak, you are the coolest Poli Sci teacher ever!

Real Genius predicts the future in 1985.

Biology

I promise, this happens every time a Biology teacher tries to be cool.

Or this.

Anatomy

Don’t get me started. It’s either mind-numbingly inaccurate…

Or the ‘kids’ can’t stomach it.

Revenge of the Teachers

Every now and then, unruly students get their comeuppance, such as a gentle corrective lobotomy–

The old simulated genocide switcheroo–

Or a little spanking from Mr. Hardin.

The Dreaded Parent-Teacher Conferences

Anyone who’s endured at least one of these ménage à squawks in any capacity should relate. Dialogue is paraphrased.

All right, thanks for reading. Sorry if it seems thrown together, but I had to get it posted in September, because October is all about…

Until next time, don’t bother me. I’m considering career options.
