Hi Austin - huge fan, and this is a really random question, but it's been bugging me and this seems like a dumb enough forum to ask it.
During the Life is Strange playthrough at GBeast, you were super quick to call Mr. Jefferson a terrible teacher. Now, of course, this turns out to be super true, but I always got the impression that the game tried to paint him in a positive, hip-but-down-to-earth light early on to make his eventual shittiness that much more shocking, and I caught myself falling for it. You - though - had his number from the start.
I always wondered what qualities you saw in that character that made you instantly recognize him as a terrible teacher early on in the story? I always loved whenever you would talk about education on the Beastcast, and I'm currently working on applications to PhD programs to hopefully become a teacher myself some day. You seemed tuned into manipulative teaching tactics that I couldn't see (and that I suspect the writers weren't even fully aware of), but I felt like you never had much of a chance to elaborate on them besides "fuck off, guy."
Sorry, this is like the niche-est question ever, but I always wanted to ask so why not.
