In Season 2 of “Ginny & Georgia,” it was explained that Ginny Miller, portrayed by Antonia Gentry, chose to withdraw from the challenging AP English class due to a peculiar yet relatable motivation. The popular Netflix show introduced us to the Miller family – Ginny, her mother Georgia (Brianne Howey), and her brother Austin (Diesel La Torraca) – as they embarked on a new life in Wellsbury, seeking a fresh start.
In essence, joining Wellsbury High meant Ginny had to embark on a fresh academic journey, including signing up for a new Advanced Placement English course since she’s passionate about the subject. Unfortunately, during her first day in this AP English class, it appeared that misfortune fell upon her due to an irritating teacher named Mr. Gitten (Jonathan Potts).
Why Did Ginny Drop Out of AP English?
From the very start, Ginny and Georgia’s first season set up the tension between Ginny and Mr. Gitten.
On her first day as a sophomore, Ginny brought up to Mr. Gitten that the majority of books they were studying were authored by white men, with only one Black author included in their reading list. Being deeply committed to her education, Ginny expressed concern that she might “absorb an ideology that the dominant perspective [of the greats] is exclusively that of white males,” implying that her perspective (as a prominent Black student) might be overlooked or insignificant. Additionally, Mr. Gitten repeatedly addressed her as “Virginia” instead of her preferred nickname, “Ginny.
The fierce competition between the duo didn’t end; it persisted throughout Seasons 1 and 2. Mr. Gitten showed favoritism towards Ginny based on her race, which culminated in a heated exchange during the Season 1 finale. She accused him of being racist before leveraging the situation to force him into writing a glowing college recommendation letter to protect herself from reporting him.
In Season 2, Ginny came back to school after having left, which meant she had to rejoin Mr. Gitten’s AP English course once more. Yet, Mr. Gitten was determined to demonstrate his lack of racial bias upon her return. He tasked Ginny with selecting a book that portrays the life of someone from a diverse background and educating the class about the subject matter instead.
In simpler terms, when Gitten made this unusual action, it was the final straw that led Ginny to confront him publicly in class, and as a result, she decided to leave the AP English course entirely.
In addition to finding Mr. Gitten’s methods irritating, Ginny left her Advanced Placement English course because she was under a heavy academic load due to the subject matter and also grappling with personal challenges that were overwhelming her mentally.
How Ginny Moved Forward After Dropping Out of AP English
Ginny choosing to leave AP English provided her the chance to contemplate her life, leading her to prioritize her mental well-being. She focused on mending her tense relationship with Georgia. Additionally, she grew closer to her friends Max, Abby, and Norah (for further details about Abby’s romantic destiny in Ginny and Georgia Season 3).
Turning down the AP English course proved unexpectedly advantageous for Ginny. Steering clear of the subject’s intense workload and a professor with prejudiced tendencies allowed her some valuable time for self-reflection and reevaluation of her life goals. This newfound wisdom guided her in making the most appropriate decisions for her future.
Indeed, during Season 3, I found myself captivated as Ginny took the bold step to replace AP English with an exceptionally engaging poetry class. This innovative choice not only enhanced her writing skills but also deepened her comprehension of poetry as a whole. By the season’s end, she was honored as the Youth Poet Laureate, a testament to her unwavering passion for this subject matter.
During Season 3 of “Ginny and Georgia,” she found herself pregnant halfway through. The poetry class served as a means to rekindle her relationship with her former boyfriend, Marcus, when she penned a poem expressing her unwavering support for him, regardless of the circumstances.
