Don’t come for the team of “Abbott Elementary” unless you’re ready to learn.
Jeanne Allen of the Center for Education Reform called out “Abbott” creator Quinta Brunson on Twitter last week for attending charter schools. A major plot point in the ABC comedy’s second season is that Draemond (Leslie Odom Jr.) is trying to turn Abbott into a charter, but the teachers (including Brunson’s Janine) are vehemently against it.
I'll share it again.
The creator, lead writer and co-producer of @AbbottElemABC @quintabrunson
is from West Philly and attended charter schools her entire education. She reportedly loved it at the time, heaped praise on it. Once upon a time.
Guess money talks.

Brunson responded, telling Allen “you’re wrong and bad at research” and clarifying that she only attended a charter for high school — and that charter schools often close, as hers eventually did.

“Abbott Elementary” creator Quinta Brunson clapped back Thursday at an education executive who was promoting incorrect information about her schooling history.
Jeanne Allen, CEO of the Center for Education Reform, called Brunson out on Twitter, claiming that she only attended charter schools for her entire education. The incorrect claim additionally implied that exploring charter schools’ relationship to public schooling in Philadelphia, as “Abbott Elementary” does, is not best left to the series’ creator.
“I’ll share it again. The creator, lead writer and co-producer of @AbbottElemABC @quintabrunson is from West Philly and attended charter schools her entire education,” Allen wrote on Twitter. “She reportedly loved it at the time, heaped praise on it. Once upon a time. Guess money talks.”
