^ Yes, he did. I enjoyed those moments where one of them said or did something that surprised the other person. It showed that, even though they had been in each other's lives for so long, they had to remember to expect the unexpected.

Yeah, they still always had some surprises left for the other

^ Aw, I love that whole episode! I think they both learned a lot when they swapped places for the week.

Definitely, & I'm sure it was something Cory thought back on a lot when he decided to become a teacher

rocky845

^ Oh, yeah. It was obvious that what Cory learned when he took over Mr. Feeny's classes that week left a lasting impression on him. =)

It did

^ I love that scene! There is Mr. Feeny, trying to teach Cory about the all-consuming power of love and the inevitability of its influence on each of their lives, and it just goes over Cory's head. >> "Are you aware that I'm only 11 years old?" -- what an awesome reply!

starryeyesxx

Yeah, that was a very succint way for Cory to tell Feeny that he wasn't going to get it

rocky845

^ I think so too. It was so fun to see how uninterested Cory was to Mr. Feeny's lesson. That must not have been the first time Mr. Feeny had had a similar exchange/conversation with Cory. =p

No, it was probably like that a lot when Cory was that age

rocky845

^ Oh, yeah. I imagine that Cory and Mr. Feeny have had that dynamic since the moment Cory first walked into Mr. Feeny's classroom and sat down at his dest. I bet it didn't take Mr. Feeny long to figure out that Cory was going to be an interesting/challenging student. I'm just glad Mr. Feeny took on that challenge.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, I'm not sure if many other teachers would have been able to handle Cory like Feeny did!

^ I believe that. The fact that Mr. Feeny knew that Cory was going to be a challenging student, and he kept trying to get him to grasp his lessons showed how special Mr. Feeny was.

Aw! Cory tried so hard to win that geography tournament, and to make Mr. Feeny proud. I love what Mr. Feeny told Cory, that he had pushed himself to his farthest latitudes, "and not only did you not topple over the edge, but I believe, together, we have charted new territory."

starryeyesxx

Yeah, even though Cory didn't do so well in the tournament, Feeny really was proud of him

rocky845

^ Yes, he was. The only thing Mr. Feeny wanted was that Cory did his absolute best. Considering how much time and effort Mr. Feeny saw Cory put into study for the geography tournament, and the fact that Cory got an A on his geography exam, that definitely earned Mr. Feeny's kudos.
