What your favorite Abbott Elementary teacher says about how you were in school
It is nearly impossible to pick a favorite character from Abbott Elementary’s eclectic and colorful cast. The sitcom takes place in Philadelphia elementary school and follows a colorful group of teachers doing their darn best to help their students succeed amidst low budgets and a school district that could care less. These teachers are uncannily specific and zany — yet they all feel like they could be plucked from our own school day memories.
If you had to pick a favorite, though, it would probably reflect your favorite teacher in school — and that would say a lot about how you approached your own school days. Behold, a very accurate and scientifically-tested personality assessment that will reveal secrets of your past and perhaps hints of your future … based on which Abbott Elementary teacher you like the most.
Played by series creator Quinta Brunson, Janine is a young go-getter with big hopes and dreams for her journey as a teacher. If Janine is your favorite, you were 100% a teacher’s pet.

Please say that’s cool.
