Try out this admittedly biased Mr. Hand analogy that I can't get out of my head while watchin the show: the police brass = school administrators-onetime cops who actually knew what happened on the street but are now all about politics and career ambition, street cops = teachers-some are good, some are bad but they are in the trenches with the students and have to work around rather than with their superiors more often than not, the dealers = the students-I don't mean to condescend or scare people but the relationship can be similar.

I wonder if this is the magic of art (and really good popular culture)--that it interrogates our lived experience, enlightening us in the process.
