Why Glee’s Mr. Schue Is A Terrible Teacher

[TMC]

Glee's Mr. Schue is framed as the prototypical 'teacher who cares,' but if we look at his behavior, he's actually NOT the best person to be molding impressionable young minds. He uses the glee club to relive his own high school glory days, favors the white kids, and makes everything about him. So when it came to Mr. Schue’s bad choices, what weird messages did Glee ultimately send about what it means to be a good teacher?

12 TV Characters That Are Almost Too Annoying To Watch

Will Schuester -- Glee

A lot of characters in "Glee" are pretty annoying from the start, and even more of them got much more irritating as the show progressed. It was hard to choose just one of them for this list, but it really has to be said that Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) is definitely the most annoying character (via Reddit) in "Glee." Yes, it stinks that he's in a toxic marriage and that his wife tries to trap him with a fake pregnancy, but those circumstances don't last beyond Season 1. For most of the show, Mr. Schue uses his students and the Glee club to make up with multiple romantic partners, work through several midlife crises, and relive his glory days (unsurprisingly, the guy peaked in high school).

In Season 1, Mr. Schue hears Finn singing and then claims to have found drugs in his locker so that he can essentially blackmail him into joining the Glee club. He regularly appropriates culture both as the director of the club and as an educator, and he has the kids prepare to put on "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," pressuring Sam, Finn, and Rachel to perform just short of naked onstage, despite the fact that they're all uncomfortable and literally minors. The show thankfully does not go on because it's sexually explicit and the people who are supposed to be performing the show are, once again, minors, but it's not for a lack of trying from Mr. Schuester.
