In addition to making me slightly lose faith in humanity, this article confirms several undeniable truths:

1) Anyone can get a reality show.
2) Our education system is fucked.
4) Philadelphia’s education system is seriously fucked. (I mean honestly, does anyone even care anymore?)
3) Even people who cannot speak English coherently (specifically, Tony Danza) can teach it.

So…Who’s the teach?

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Just call him Mr. Danza.

Tony Danza will face an audience of Philadelphia 10th-graders beginning this fall for a yet-to-be-titled reality show on teaching.

School commissioners approved the plan Wednesday. The vote allows at least 13 episodes to be shot and broadcast on the cable channel A&E.

The 58-year-old Danza is a former talk show host and star of the sitcoms “Taxi” and “Who’s the Boss?” He will co-teach an English class at Northeast High School.

The program had the working title of “Teach” and is tentatively scheduled to premiere in spring 2010.

Critics say the show will disrupt education. But Mayor Michael Nutter says it will spotlight the joys and challenges of urban education.

Can you imagine getting an “F” in Tony Danza’s class? That’d be like failing out of Breathing School. All you have to do is be conscious.

And just for the record, Mayor Michael Nutter, you’re a moron. Listen to the critics..
