“Channel A's Teachers features a math genius battling academic struggles and smartphone addiction”

A brilliant student grappling with procrastination is set to face the heat on Channel A's new show, "Please Take Care of My Grades: Teachers," premiering September 15.

In this episode, viewers will meet a middle school student aspiring to attend a gifted school, who demonstrates astonishing math prowess by solving problems with a simple hand gesture. Despite an impressive IQ of 136, the student's heavy phone usage—averaging 12 hours and 25 minutes a day—raises concerns from their mother, who reveals that reliance on intelligence has led to a lack of study effort. The conflict between the student and their mother showcases the stress of academic expectations and the reality of performance.

The top education duo, Jeong Seung-jae and Jo Jeong-sik, do not hold back their critical evaluations of the "lazy genius," emphasizing the need for a wake-up call. They express their doubts about the student's competitiveness in high-achieving environments, urging them to confront their reality instead of relying solely on their natural abilities. This contrast between aspirations and reality raises questions about how far talent can take one without determination.

Find out what unfolds for this middle school student facing a harsh realization of their academic standing on September 15 at 7:40 PM.
