Sean Patton as Markie in English Teacher
Despite having only been on the air for two weeks, it's hard to think of a show in recent memory that's been quite as groundbreaking or dynamic as English Teacher. The FX comedy has gone above and beyond in its effort to explore the complexities of the ever-changing public school system by avoiding stereotypical storytelling and bravely tackling the gritty realism of its subject.
Markie Isn’t as Narrow-Minded as He Seems on 'English Teacher' One of the great appeals of English Teacher is how the show tackles homophobia in the public school system. The series’ pilot sees Evan’s job at stake thanks to a complaint made by a close-minded parent. While the episode makes it clear that Evan has allies in the faculty — such as Gwen, and, to an extent, the ever-frustrated Principal Moretti — it’s not easy to tell how supportive Markie really is.

Markie Is Surprisingly In Touch with His Students on 'English Teacher' Close Markie may seem like the stereotype of an out-of-touch teacher, but English Teacher’s latest episode proves he’s actually one of the school’s most cunning members. When one of his students decides to fake a medical diagnosis, Evan doesn’t know quite how to approach the issue. He knows there’s something fishy going on, but neither he nor Gwen can put their finger on it.
