What really goes on in a high school staff room

As a child in elementary school, I was fascinated by the teacher’s staff room. In my school, the window on the door had a shade on it, so you couldn’t even peek inside. The only (rare) glimpses came when you happened to be walking by and a teacher came out.

And it was amazing.

I remember thinking, “There are couches in there! And a t.v.! Cooool.”

As I got older, into middle school and then high school, the staff room just didn’t hold the same magic for me. I had gone into a few for various reasons, and it was really no big deal. There was a coffee maker; some ratty old couches; a table and chairs. It was like a sad little one bedroom apartment.

Now there’s a series on YouTube, simply called The Staff Room, offering a satirical look into what goes on in a high school staff room. The characters are total cliche’s, but the whole thing is a parody, so it works. And it’s really funny.

Here’s the first episode:
