That is a great episode and Fonzie is sooo sweet in the scene where he comes to Joanie's rescue when Frankie attacked her. I loved how he took care of her and gave her a pep talk and called her sweetheart...Omg! :blush:

I always loved the Fonzie, But i love him even more! :heart:

...

Go Fonzie!:dance: I hope I get to see that episode soon!!!

It was just on!

Fonzie, my hero! And shame on Joanie for not listening to Chachi, when he tried to tell her what that punk really wanted. Joanie, Joanie, Joanie!:smash:

But Joanie just wanted to do it by herself!

I actually didn't like that ep because it was basically saying that Joanie can't do anything by herself without someone's help. And I think Joanie is better than that!

Actually, I don't think this episode picks on Joanie at all- except that she became a bit too confident and wouldn't lean on others for help. I know what it is like to work with problem kids like this. I've never met anyone who could handle them by themselves-- men or women alike. Joanie did let Frankie cross boundaries that should have been noticed beforehand, but she was young and naive. This was her first teaching job, after all. You can't blame Joanie for something that could have easily happened to anyone.

For instance,

I was at work one day, when one of the boys came up behind me and put his arms around me in a bear hug, trying to hold me there. Luckily, there was another staff who approached, but situations like that can get tricky. These boys are strong and, though I don't like to admit it, can outpower a woman.

That's true. I never looked at it that way. Where do you work?

I work in for a residential care facility for kids who have been removed from their homes. So many of the kids are exactly like the ones at Patton High. Luckily, we have GREAT staff who can keep the kids calm and on task, but I have walked into rooms where the kids were out of control and staff looked like they were on the brink of meltdown. These kids that I work with have their own school on campus so they don't attend classes with community kids.

That's amazing! I've always wanted to work with kids with problems at home. My favorite teacher used to work at an inner city school. I mean, the place where I live now is no slum, people are definately very well off and I hate the attitudes that some of my friends have about how nothing can go wrong and people who have problems must have caused them. I think you have a great job and I would love to be in your place.

:blush: Well, thank you! I do love my job. It can be very frustrating and/or exhausting at times, but also very rewarding at the same time. And it does make the episodes with Roger, Joanie, and Fonzie working at Patton High so much more personal and interesting. I just wish Fonzie was working with me instead of Joanie.....I would always be calling on his help just for an excuse to spend time with him:eyes: ;) *LOL*
