I just saw a little blurb about this show in the WaPo and made a mental note to check it out.

Haven’t watched them and might not be the genre you’re looking for but what about AP Bio and Vice Principals?

I haven’t seen it but Greg Davies has a show on Netflix based on his time as a special ed teacher:

This show on Hulu (or at least it was for a long time)is one of my favorites:

It didn’t last many episodes but very funny.

Wasn't there briefly a tv series based on the movie Dangerous Minds?

Bad Teacher was a recent one--I think only a few episodes aired before it was canceled.

OP here. I knew there was something recent. That's it. Too bad it was canceled.

Welcome Back Kotter was a good one.

Boston Public with Joey McIntyre

Head of the Class in the 80's.

Boy Meets World was not about a classroom per se, but there were a lot of classroom scenes and his teacher was his next door neighbor.

that's a good question. i know there are some about students and teachers are sort of an afterthought.

head of the class, welcome back carter, saved by the bell

Wiki has quite a few listed. I really liked Boston Public in the early 2000s.
