Host Cynthia Bemis Abrams goes back-to-school to profile television's women high school teacher characters. It's a harder list to conjure up than one might think. The highlight reel goes back to the 1950s for characters that represented one of a few "respectable" careers available to women. Cynthia provides extra attention to extraordinary performances, positive messaging and quirky style and a special tip of the hat to the clever and progressive "Room 222."
