Ep 8. For Poorer or Poorer

For Poorer or Poorer, an episode of Teachers Season 3, continues to follow the everyday lives of six elementary school teachers. The episode starts with Ms. Watson being hesitant to participate in Ms. Cannon's charity fundraiser for weekend meals for underprivileged children. Later, Ms. Feldman challenges Ms. Bennigan and Ms. Snap to a contest tied to the fundraiser, which leads to some action-packed, comical scenes.

Ms. Watson, a staunch feminist, is initially conflicted about participating in Ms. Cannon's charity event. She doesn't think it's fair that the majority of the people who come for the charity fundraiser are women, and as a result, she doesn't want to participate. However, things change when she finds out that the charity will provide weekend meals to underprivileged children, who may not have meals otherwise.

Ms. Feldman, who loves a good contest, decides to challenge Ms. Bennigan and Ms. Snap to a fundraiser connected competition. Ms. Feldman decides that they will have individual booths and she wants to bet Ms. Bennigan and Ms. Snap that they can't raise more money than she can. Bennigan and Snap, despite being reluctant initially, accept the contest.

Ms. Feldman gets off to a solid start with her branded necklaces and named after animals. However, the competition heats up when Ms. Bennigan and Ms. Snap take an unconventional approach to raise money for the fundraiser. This leads to some amusing and heartfelt scenes as they pull out all the stops to raise the most amount of money during the competition.

It's a refreshing change to the usual storylines, but there's still plenty of humorous moments that the fans of the show have come to expect.
