GTO is about a former biker gang member, Eikichi Onizuka, who applied to a private institution and became a teacher. Onizuka, while being slightly, err, academically-challenged, is a spirited and dedicated person who thinks more about the welfare of his students and places it above his own. At first, his class, the most notorious class in the whole school, plot to kick him out. But, as time went on, his students came to terms and started to become close to him.

At times, Onizuka's antics earn the ire of the head teacher Uchiyamada, his co-teachers, and at one point or another, the parents of his students. In his quest to become the Great Teacher Onizuka, he jumped from tops of buildings, stood in the path of monster trucks barreling down at breakneck speed, demolished walls between rooms, all for the sake of his students.

Now, I wasn't able to finish watching GTO on my computer, because my CD-ROM wasn't able to read the CD with the final episode. It's already at the point where Onizuka's fate as a teacher in the Musashi Seirin Academy is already in jeopardy due to his actions against students of a rival school, who had beaten up a student of his.

Sometimes I can't help but think, "What if I had a teacher like Onizuka?" Sure, he's like a big dumb ox, but he teaches the most important lesson in life - that there will always be someone who will be there to help you, to cheer you on, to fight for you, to fight together with you, to support you. Having a teacher like Onizuka will make for some very entertaining afternoons, with his antics.

While writing about GTO, I realized something: the workplace isn't much different from Musashi Seirin. In the workplace, you'll see the tyrannical and narrowminded Uchiyamadas, the Nakamatas who suck up to the Uchiyamadas, the Teshigawaras. There will also be the Nanakos, the Kikuchis, the Yoshikawas, the Murais, the Aizawas, the Tomokos, the Fuyutsukis - but most importantly, the lessons that the Great Teacher Onizuka has imparted will apply as well - There will always be someone to support you; Learn to like yourself before you expect others to like you; Bullying others is not a good outlet for pent-up stress. After all, the workplace is similar to the school - It's still the same old jungle however you choose to walk through it.
