In the movie Bad Teacher (2011), we meet Elizabeth Halsey, a lazy and incompetent middle school teacher who despises her job, students, and co-workers. She lives a self-centered life, focusing on her appearance and material possessions. However, her world is turned upside down when her wealthy fiancé abruptly ends their engagement, leaving Elizabeth in dire need of money to afford breast augmentation surgery.
Reluctantly returning to teaching to earn the necessary funds, Elizabeth adopts an unorthodox approach to her teaching methods. She frequently ignores her students' academic needs, seeking personal gain and ways to bypass her responsibilities. Her lackadaisical attitude towards her job leaves her colleagues unimpressed and her students disengaged.
