Fun fact, the guy who plays Gordey, is also the voice actor for Timmy Turners Dad in fairy god parents.

[@ChrissaTodd]

he is also cosmo and jorgan von strangle too

[@epicsamurai5]

He’s also Buddha Bob on BTR.

Dan Norris has such a iconic voice

[@isaacogunmuko3947]

He also portrayed Todd and Rileys Father in The Replacements.

Gordy's feud with the weasel is a frequent running gag.

[@king_yakko]

Oh boy, I remember the struggle with lockers! Also my school was very strict about tardies. There was the first bell and then a few minutes later would be the “tardy bell”. If you weren’t in class by that second bell ring, the teachers would shut the door and not allow you in. I’ve seen many teachers simply shake their head and shrug as they shut the door even though they watched me race to them 😭 if you were locked out you had to report to ISS (in-school suspension) room. My locker was downstairs even though most my classes were upstairs. Our locks weren’t attached to the locker doors so I purposely kept my lock off and inside the locker to make my life easier. I would have to race downstairs, throw my books in the locker, then race the other way to get to gym! 😂 luckily with gym they didn’t really mind the tardy bell since you had to go into the locker room to change first. Just as long as you’re there during roll call you were good. But then I would have to race to my locker then run up the stairs for my next classes 😭 oh it was a struggle

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

I can relate! 😂

[@mbdg6810]

Oh man I feel this. I remember I had accommodation for so that way i wouldn’t get punished for being tardy. And that tardy bell at my school was three minutes from the “class is over” bell. In fact my freshman year i had the furthest locker from all of my classes. If i had to go to my locker from my first class it guaranteed I’d be late for the second. Luckily the teacher I had for my second class understood the predicament I was in so eventually I didn’t have to get a pass (a slip that gives a valid reason for being late) every single day.

[@ChrissaTodd]

yes so this show works like a cartoon, that is why some of the actions you see in the show seem cartoony, scott fellows produced the fairly odd parents a cartoon, so this was his version of making a live action show, but it's much more of a cartoony live action.

[@cjg8763]

I used to love this show but haven't seen it in many years, this is great watching it again here with you. You provide a lot of interesting commentary. I watched the first one too and glad you're going to go through them all. I'll be here for it. PS I forgot all about the weasel running gag in this show! 😆

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@complex2live]

Never seen this show before but this was actually pretty interesting. When I used lockers, we would bring our bookbags to each class but put some stuff in the gym lockers.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Thanks for watching! 😎👍

[@CHRISTIANNWO]

In the 11th grade, I would often be a minute late to my first class. I had good grades in all my classes. Then one day, someone pulls me out of class and tells me I got put in school suspension for too many tardies........So I missed work for all my classes that day. So yes, being tardy can affect your grades but for all the wrong reasons.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes I find that each school treats this very differently.

[@Flyingcar100]

For us some classes had assigned seats and others didn’t but even it was not assigned everyone sat in the same spot anyways. I also understand about having a far away locker. It was far from everything except for when I took government.

[@k-trashradio5163]

the weasel (actually a ferret) in the show was an escaped pet from one of the classes apparently. and it was an homage to the bill murry vs the gopher in caddy Schack.

[@sad_doggo2504]

I'm amazed I was even able to remember my locker combo... I definitely can't remember number combos now 😭

[@GMmaster99]

As a young adult, I would have a reoccurring dream being back in high school where I would forget my locker number, combination and end up late to class to which I would also forget which class I was supposed to go to.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

I think that happened to me also lol 😂

[@blankblankness2971]

The weasel alert thing may be relatable for students in Christmas Island. They get crab infestations yearly, and the crabs have been known to penetrate school buildings and even walk by during class instruction, often in massive groups.

[@ShyGuyXXL]

It was funny to see this episode dubbed in german, because no school I've ever went to over here has lockers like that. We had to carry ALL of the books for each day's subjects to school and back every single day, because we never knew ahead of time which books we would need. And those things were THICK and HEAVY. I'm pretty sure my posture was irreparably damaged by always having to carry that heavy backpack every day. We complained about it a lot but nothing was ever done.

[@dandychiggins7240]

Man, thanks for reminding me that I had the biggest crush on Moze 😆Also that this is an underrated gem 🥺

[@johnfarlio1830]

This is the first time i've heard about dodgeball not being implemented as much anymore, and I can understand why. There is definitely an uneven power dynamic that can take place when you have stronger kids being a looming threat over less strong kids.

[@juicesnap]

We didn't have dodge ball at my school. But I was the kid that kind of got floor hockey banned at my high school because on the first day on floor hockey in gym class i got checked real hard by a boy with a metal hockey stick in the face and I apparently collapsed because all i remember is being in the nurses office and missing second period. so supposedly one of school nurses (one of the nurses was my friend's mom) complained after filing a incident report thus I was the reason no more "real floor hockey" (they switched to a game foam sticks and a foam ball). It was literally first period and the gym teacher was so excited because they were brand new hockey sticks (rare to have brand new equipment in a public high school) but I guess my class was the only class who got to use them... So yeah maybe it was on the boy who thought it was okay to hit a girl in the face as hard as possible with a metal stick (he might have done it by accident but he was swinging a metal hockey stick at face level) or the teacher who did not say it was against the rules until some kid got hurt. but in my family and friend group I was the reason there was no more floor hockey in gym class. It has been 12 years and still remember the embarrassment of having to explain to every teacher and student that day why i had to ice my face and was brusied and for a shy kid it was mortifying.

[@blankblankness2971]

That stress about the lockers is the reason why I only used one in sixth grade; all the following years, I exclusively kept things in my backpack.

[@crs2385]

Loving the Ned's Declassified reactions pal. Keep it up! 😊

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes, it’s true! 👍

[@S.C.2]

Another Nickelodeon show you could react to is Danny Phantom. The title character is a high school student and while the main focus of the show is about fighting ghosts, Danny's high school life does come up a lot. In fact, the Vice Principal Mr. Lancer is a fairly recurring character.

[@Autistic_BabyAlive_mom_reboot]

I saw your confused about cookie. If i remember correctly he has A ton tech on and most people concider him A robot. If i remember correctly

[@the_yt_crok]

I don't go to public school but mine does have lockers. The student count is fairly small and only 3 classrooms (including a gym) are on the other side of campus so tardiness isn't a big issue. And despite having chromebooks, I still have 4 textbooks, so lockers would be important

[@JohnSmith-jh6ey]

Yeah this show is very realistic he says after watching a kid hack the schools computer system multiple times in one day with spyglasses ;)

[@anonymousanonymous7250]

I always found it wierd seeing on TV shows the hallway lockers with two "levels" if you will, at both my middle and high school we didn't have such lockers. Also anyone notice that in these shows there never seems to be anyone with a locker on the bottom rung?

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

True!

[@nickronca1562]

This is so timely for me because I just got around to watching your reaction to episode 1a today like less than an hour before you uploaded this.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Good timing!

[@nickronca1562]

@@SchoolPrincipalReacts I'm also shocked at you mentioning that many schools don't have lockers anymore, because I literally graduated High School in 2019, and my High School had lockers when I graduated.

[@JohnSmith-jh6ey]

The balls my elementary school used for dodgeball were pretty soft

[@Nicholasmcmath-cr1xl]

Same my school has dodgeball that were pretty soft too and not pump up completely

[@jdgx95]

one of the things that bugged me about HS (2009-2013) was my school had lockers but they were as wide as a pair of converse shoes and just not practical so i got one and never used it ... seeing lockers in tv and movies i always felt like i was cheated out of a experience

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes. So many schools don’t use them anymore.

[@SupportGamin2024]

I had a locker in my high school(everyone did)but I never used it 😂

[@chrisrenfrow8076]

My elementary school my middle school and my high school all three didn't have lockers either cubby's or we sat our 🎒 backpacks on floor next to us or hanging on the back of the seat. class of 2010. Only time I ever use the locker was during P.E. class.

[@EggMixValid]

7:48 Actually my gym teacher that I had in school did bring down people's grades for being late.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Ah ok wow

[@EggMixValid]

@@SchoolPrincipalReacts Yeah it sucked cuz I was late and he marked it against me even though I was one of the students who actually did the workouts without shortcuts

[@henrysullivan-yg1xb]

I played dodgeball in both middle and high school they were made of rubber or soft material i was fine everyone was fine to me it helped get pent up energy out and lockers the only ones i used were gym lockers to put my clothes in while in gym never used school lockers

[@andrewwatkins4852]

I had lockers in middle and high school I had to remember the lockers combo for days and I could have wrote it in my notebook

[@hunterivey]

Dodgeball in my opinion, is a fun sport, I think every school should still have it, by the way when I was in high school they had to switch my locker, because they gave me a locker that was already being used by someone else.

[@Firebreather719]

When I was in school, I graduated year 2016 we had lockers but I always usually never used them. I just carry my backpack around, you didn't get long from before class and whenever I used them I would be late to my classes. I'm going back to a trade school, taking electrician and they currently still have lockers but not sure if they use. As class for adults starts after the high schoolers have left.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Interesting. Good luck with trade school! 👍

[@isaacogunmuko3947]

The High School I went to, lockers were arranged by Grades, 2nd Floor(Main Floor) was for 9th Grades, 1st Floor was for 10th & 11th Grades, while the 3rd Floor was for 12th Graders

[@chadbrisco4042]

There are still lockers nowadays. I guess it just depends on the school.

[@Br0nto5aurus]

We had lockers when I was in middle school (it was called junior high at the time) but only for the 7th and 8th graders. There weren't enough lockers for everyone so they had the 9th graders use backpacks. If you were in 7th or 8th grade, you weren't allowed to have backpacks in class, the school claimed because of a tripping hazard, but 9th graders used the same classrooms with the same class sizes, and they were allowed to have theirs. When I was in 8th grade, my last class was very close to the busses, but across the school from my locker, so I would have to cross the school twice in 5 minutes, during the worst foot traffic of the day, or I missed the bus home. After missing the bus a few times, I just started bringing my backpack to my last class and that teacher was cool, so it wasn't an issue. In high school, lockers became optional; you had to pay for them and they were full sized, so kids would pair up and split the cost. I never got one. By then I had decided I was done lugging 3-4 massive textbooks to and from school when we hardly ever used them in class, and if we did it was only a few pages. I kept them at home for homework and on the few occasions it came up in class, I would share with my neighbor or use a classroom copy. I'm glad to hear schools have moved away from sending hardcopy textbooks home with kids. It always felt so unnecessary, having grown up in a time when a great deal of information is on every screen, communication is in everyone's back pockets, and (contrary to what my teachers told me) we actually *do* all carry calculators with us everywhere we go. Why couldn't we have been sent an access code to an electronic copy of the textbook at the beginning of the year, and then had 30 hardcopies in the classroom?

[@bipolitthefighter2599]

My school still has lockers, but I have a larger roller bag and so I never use it

[@Shastasnow]

Dodgeball is excellent and suitable for coordination and team strategy. Love students vs teachers. Jailbreak is also fun, haha. Or adding special moves like blue balls would be a freeze ball. You can get creative with it. But I do remember getting bested by a rubber ball to the face. With glasses, it hurts way more. But we made it a rule if you hit someone in the face or head, you are out. Later on, they stopped using the red balls in favor of the foam ones, and it was less fun but not a gamebreaker.

[@stampoulisrafael5262]

I had a locker but i never used it,i had all my books in my school bag all the time.

[@isaacogunmuko3947]

Back in High School Guards check Students backpack for students who are late to school and when a crime scene happened in the City, and the police are looking for a particular student. The School would also only remove all the locks from the all the lockers when police arer looking for a particular student.

[@ajerjavec4723]

I mostly kept everything in my backpack because I had memory troubles and I didn’t want to use with the locker in my only year of middle school, I think because I was in special education program I had one of those file cabinets where I kept my stuff, but I can’t remember and for a few years I only used my locker if my backpacks weren’t allowed or just to keep my jackets in them are lockers mostly just used to keep jackets and stuff during school hours

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

I had this experience too.

[@annawehmeyer]

When I graduated in 2011 lockers were still a big thing at my school. My highschool had one of the single longest hallways in Minnesota too. Had all my folders and stuff in a big binder and usually carried a couple of my textbooks with me so I didn't have to stop by my locker in between classes. Was heavy and very awkward, but I had literal nightmares about being late for class or not being able to find my classes at all.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

I completely understand! 😂

[@Marxodd]

I had a locker in middle school, but I didn't really use it

[@Marxodd]

It was only 1 year, tho

[@zerocopy8407]

Middle school and high school we had lockers but I ended up moving to another state and the new high school I went to we were allowed to bring backpacks to all our classes so having one was pointless.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yeah, I know some people who had a similar experience. 👍

[@blankblankness2971]

My old high school did have lockers, but they were mostly confined to the main hallway. Also, I should add that the school was built in the 1940s, so there’s no way the lockers could really accommodate room for most of the students now.

[@rn.6.7.06]

2:48 I had to do a small amount of research to find out this guy is NOT Justin Berfield (Reese). He looks familiar though, does anybody know what other media he was in?

[@Inventure751]

The middle school I went to in 2006 had infrastructure still in use, dating back to the 1970s. My locker would barely recognize the code when I turned the knob. Thankfully high school didn't require lockers.

[@midnightdimensions13]

In school, they gave us way too many textbooks. There was once a point in my life where I got a serious back problem because of it. All I could do was cry and lay down. Also, in high school, there was a small room with lockers. Honestly, I wished I had a locker so I could express myself. In high school, the lockers were only given to the students with high GPA. It always made me feel stupid because I never got one. It didn't help that a few of my teachers were terrible people.

[@MrBigjayb1988]

I loved dodge ball in school because we usually did not do it often and it usually was played all class period.

[@egu5100]

When I was in middle school, we used lockers, but never had lockers where the combination lock was built into the locker like that. All the lockers had a slot for a padlock and we were required to purchase combination locks from the school that had a set combo we couldn’t change. All the locks had a key slot on the back that a master key could unlock that all the school administrators had. If we were caught using a key lock or a combination lock other than the school bought ones, they would cut the lock off. In high school, we had the same types of lockers but students had to request them and they needed to have a justification on why they needed to have a locker. It was mostly if a student needed a locker for medical reasons and such.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

One of the high schools I worked at was as you described. Thanks for watching! 😎👍

[@cjg8763]

I hardly ever used my locker. I always ended up hating having to run back to it between classes. I ended up becoming one of those kids who carried all of his textbooks and notebooks and such in his backpack. That is probably what started all of my constant back pain.

[@uhlaracroft8225]

Fun Fact i didnt know until watching the walking dead that Suzie Crabgrass the girl i had a crush on in this show was none other then ROSITA that blew my mind and shes also in Twilight to shes Bellas freind Angela with the glasses crazy so it seems ive had a crush on that actor since i was little, no wonder i fell in love with Rosita on the walking dead it was the same girl all along

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

I didn’t know that! 👍

[@nathanmcandrew4778]

I guess i kind of had it easy with locker placement throughout high school. My high school was only ten minutes away from Scranton so you’d think the school would be big but there were about 80 students in my graduating class, in fact the school was so small it would be a challenge to even be late to a class located on the opposite side of the school. Lovin’ the suit shirt and tie combo btw, looks sharp!

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Thanks!

[@paigem.6487]

OMG I’ve always HATED dodgeball at school. I would always get hit in the face… 😣

[@rogerszachary9702]

At the school I went to if you left you locker on the last number of the combination it would open but we where warned against doing that because someone else could open your locker and take your stuff

[@littlesuperstar08]

I was in HS from 2013-2017 and lockers were def optional. I decided to get one. I went to it once that whole year. It was so out of the way from my classes. By the end of the school year i didn't even remember where it was to return my lock. I decided I didn't need one the next 3 years. In middle school lockers were mandatory as backpacks weren't allowed in classrooms for safety reasons. But each grade had their own floor for classes and lockers so it was much easier to get to them

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

I see. Interesting!

[@keith96969]

We had dodgeball they were soft small balls. Instead of kids hating it we all loved it for sure wasn’t too violent. It was my favorite gym activity outside of hockey and kickball.

[@shannonmcelroy8454]

One of the most annoying things about lockers when I started using them in middle and high school was using combination lockers. I had poor hand-eye coordination and was angry that I had to deal with how fast or slow I could twist to the right numbers. Luckily, my teachers compromised and finally let me use a lock with a key.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

That was a good idea. 👍

[@DanielDeLeon69]

[@kaylabounds0615]

We used lockers in middle school, but I had a hard time with mine so I tried using it as little as possible. For high school, Freshman year we got assigned lockers, but I guess after they kinda got phased out, but then my sophomore year almost everything went digital so not much point. Also, we did play dodgeball in elementary school but it was half the class against the other half which I found fun and okay. It isn't like the media where the whole class gangs up on one person, for me I think that's not okay. I love this show, thanks for reacting to it.

Speaking of being tardy to class reminds me of a story from high school about one of my classmates who came in late to a Language Arts class one day and the teacher was very displeased with the way he came in. I can't remember what she said to him but he asked her "why are you trippin'" and she shot back with "don't ask me why I'm trippin' or you'll be trippin' out the door!" 😆😆😆😆😆

When I saw shows and how they would present dodgeball it made me dread doing it in school, but then in Youth group we started playing dodgeball in the gym and I thought it was fun. I didn’t take gym in middle school until my 8th grade year, and dodgeball was what I looked forward to. However, I would say it was enjoyable because I had a few friends in the class. If I didn’t, I’d probably let someone just get me out first. 😂 Going back to tv shows, like Cookie, on tv, it always seemed like they targeted one person, but in reality (at least in my experience) you would go after your friends, then/or someone who is open to hit. Something I’m glad we didn’t have were rope climbs.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes, I have never actually seen the rope climb in a real life PE class, only in the movies.

[@nonyabusiness3619]

Dodgeball should stay in school. They shouldn't get rid of it just because some "kids have negative emotions about it." Pretty much everything in our lives that's slightly uncomfortable can give people negative emotions. If we get rid of everything that's not universally liked, then there won't be much left. The whole point of school is to prepare kids for adult life, and often times adult life can feel like a bunch of dodgeballs hitting you from every angle. But, like the game, once you get hit you realize that the pain (if any) wasn't as intense as you thought it would be, and you're perfectly fine to play another round. What I'm trying to say is, we're not doing the youth any favors by shielding them from everything that they find scary. Especially if they've never even tried it before. Dodgeball is both physically and mentally stimulating. It teaches kids to use their reflexes, to strategize when navigating a "dangerous environment," and to face your fears. Besides, what about the kids who DO like dodgeball? Why should they have their fun taken away just because other kids don't like it?
