OK, so not everyone’s the hugest fan of school. But most people seem to at least like shows about school. It makes sense: Since they often revolve around young adults experiencing life for the first time, they tackle a variety of coming-of-age experiences that audiences can relate to. After all, it’s not always about the actual time spent in the classroom (usually), it’s the life lessons and friendships that are developed along the way.
Whether they focus on the students or the extremely put-upon faculty, TV shows set in schools have a universality that often proves a winner among audiences.
