Found this question about Fast Times At Ridgemont High from someone of a different generation:

> Were high schoolers in the 80s really allowed to just go and do whatever they want with no parental supervision whatsoever? I don't even think there were any parents in this movie. Were teachers really allowed to just be a jerk and humiliate students in their class and just show up to a students house unannounced? Doubt it

While my teenage years were over a decade later and in another country I think the movie does reflect the lack of parental supervision that I remember.

I don't know of a teacher showing up at a student's house but I kind of assume that sort of stuff happened. Many teachers were jerks.

A group of SoCal high school students would rather ignore their studies and instead indulge in their teenage distractions.

Kids balk at paying $20 to be in the first ten rows of a major stadium concert tour. If they only knew. $20 is $60 in 2024 dollars.

Aside from the mild homophobia, Fast Times at Ridgemont High ages well. The details are amazing. Mike's room has some fascinating details like the car door being used as a head board and the Pete Townshend poster.
