Hell's Classroom
An important lesson is being taught: The teacher is no fool, and he doesn't work for you. He doesn't want you to like him; you need to earn his respect. One might say that Chef Ramsay — like other fearsome reality-TV judges — is a warrior in the battle against snowflake culture. Snowflakes are the products of educational and child-rearing practices aimed at convincing every child that he or she is "special," as "unique and beautiful" as every flake of snow that falls from the winter sky.
