Alice Johnson was always my favorite character on Room 222. She was the kind of teacher you always hoped you got idealistic, kind hearted (not to mention very cute). In this episode our favorite student teacher gets her first important task. Robert Salazar is a Mexican student who is very bright but indifferent about going to college and school in general. He comes to life during an in class discussion about the Battle of the Alamo and Alice decides to take him under her wing and persuade him to go to college. However, her good hearted idealism is shattered when he decides not to go and settles on a simple life of a gardner. There is a good scene where she talks to Robert about trying even if you are afraid to fail.
