The finale of Abbott Elementary's fourth season highlights Janine, a devoted teacher who interacts with her students on a personal level, emphasizing the need to cherish childhood. Despite the show's humorous elements, it drives home the message that educators should uplift children, particularly marginalized ones, amidst a societal trend of dismissing their value. The contrast between Janine's approach to teaching and her boyfriend's father's strict demeanor emphasizes the need for warmth and joy in interactions with children, raising awareness of the need to foster a nurturing environment for their growth.
Janine's exuberance and dedication to treating kids (especially Black kids) like a gift instead of an inconvenience is a lesson for us all.
Abbott's season-four finale reminds us how necessary the Janines of the world are for preserving childhood innocence and whimsy.
In a world where kids are often treated like second-class citizens who should be seen and not heard, Janine brings a refreshing perspective toward children.
Though Abbott Elementary employs a host of teachers with this amazing quality, none have quite as much enthusiasm as Janine.
