Previously on Abbott Elementary
Episode 2, fittingly titled 'Cheating,' had Melissa catching her class gaming the system on math tests. She tries to shut it down, her plan kind of backfires... but in a way that actually helps. Meanwhile, Janine gets a new student, Nick, who happens to be the son of Tariq’s new girlfriend. Over in admin land, Ava hires a new school counselor, Elena Alomar, and starts upgrading the building with a new speaker system. It’s a very Ava mix of chaos and progress.
What the show is about (in a sentence)
Abbott Elementary is a workplace comedy about a group of overly committed teachers and their gloriously out-of-touch principal, doing whatever it takes to help their Philly public school kids, even when the budget (and the district) make that way harder than it should be.
