Mrs. Munger's Class - Students

Students

  • Lance: Speaks only in Pig Latin. Apart from Cissy tattling, no one acknowledges this.
  • Gordon: Gordon generally makes sarcastic remarks. He finishes his quotes with "ole!"
  • Karyn: She's obsessed with death.
  • Artie: A New Jersey kid. Most of his statements are very simple, or even unrelated to the topic at hand. When asked to interpret an art piece, for example, he responds with "I'm hungry and my feet hurt".
  • Dawn: The class kiss-up, who reveals that she is overcompensating for her parents that travel a lot. She often refers to her fellow students as "the children".
  • Cissy: The tattletale. In field trip episodes, she often wears her girl scout uniform, numbered "666".
  • Yvonne: A young lady whose lines are all about suffrage, oppression, or other social issues.
  • Grace: She is the figurative punching bag of the class. She generally says "Cut it out!"
  • Theodore: The indecisive one. Stutters every sentence and always answers randomly. Described by Gordon as the "nitwit".
  • Rock: The class nerd. He doesn't talk until late season 1, but only in object–subject–verb-style (Yoda speak). Rock is friends with Lance.
  • Amanda: She likes to sing and say poetry. Most of her lines are sung.
  • Phoebe: Prone to random outbursts, stares the rest of the time. She brings her mom's cosmetics to school in several Season 2 episodes.
  • George and George: The trouble-makers who are just two kids named George who look alike. When people called them twins, they always say, "We're not twins!"
  • Mahoot: He always says "What" or stares blankly. In 'Good Will Mahoot', he said an actual sentence, followed by "What" when a stunned Mrs. Munger asks him to repeat himself. In "Simmer Minute", the thoughts inside his head are radio interference noises.

One-time students include:

  • Darryl: Mahoot's cousin, who appeared only once in "Mahoot's Cousin," who also says "What?" and is even dumber and weirder than Mahoot.
  • Farquhar: A foreign exchange student from Sri Lanka. Ironically, he speaks in a blatantly stereotypical American dialect. Only seen in one episode.

Famous quotes containing the word students:

    “I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
    —Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)

    “We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process. We should forcefully explain that our role is not to teach them to think as we do but rather to teach them, by example, the importance of taking a stance that is rooted in rigorous engagement with the full range of ideas about a topic.”
    —bell hooks (b. 1955)

    “We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation-rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
