Hey, if you don't like it, it's your opinion. I won't hold it against you.

I personally still do like it very much. I do agree that at times it can feel pretty outdated at times, but it doesn't take away any qualities the show had to me. It exaggerated a lot of things, but the exaggeration was to highlight shit that we ourselves have seen happen in our own lives, such as the heavy favoring of sports in high school over education. Perhaps it wasn't always like that at my high school, but there were times where I felt like my high school went out of its way to do something for the football team while in the middle of a budget cut teachers and students couldn't print out too many copies of paper or we couldn't get updated books in government class.
Even characters who at first seemed shallow and a stereotype became kind of relate-able, for example, Quinn. When Quinn realizes that her PSAT scores were in line with the rest of the Fashion Club it was kind of a wake up call to her that she wasn't trying very hard and though she wasn't smart she at least knew she wasn't as vacant as the rest of the Fashion Club, but the test scores proved that perhaps Quinn was just as vacant as them. What does she do? She actually starts trying a little more, slowly but surely deciding that perhaps doing well in school is more important than impressing your peers, especially when the boys pining after her seem to be unaffected by the idea that Quinn had a tutor during summer break or that she scored well on a test.

Yeah. American school are all like that.

I mean, there are exceptions, because there are always exceptions. But on the whole? It's the sad, sad truth.
