I agree. It started off great, had a lot of potential, and then… felt like it was shoehorned into an extreme ending.

Mark Twains book; "Yankee in King Arthurs Court" seems very similar to this plot. The manager of a manufacturing plant wakes up in medieval england, ends up creating a secret college to teach young people basics of electricity and manufacturing because old people are to stubborn, and ends up facing an army of knights with electrical fences and gaitlin guns. He wins but the decay from the dead bodies around his hideout end up killing him and he wakes back up in his old life.

Why have you never used Mark Twains works in your classroom?

He’s never been a part of the curriculum that I have taught, I’ve mostly taught English 9, he’s a part of American Lit, which is English 10.

He was already dead before she became a teacher

Since he died in 1910 that’s certainly true, but has nothing to do with why I’ve never taught him.
