The Ray Bradbury Theater: Let's Play Poison (1992)
Season 5, Episode 7
4/10
A pretty big waste of time, no payoff
27 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
The only reason I didn't give this the lowest score possible was the ending is certainly very creepy & disturbing. However it doesn't make up for how little the story rewards you for sticking with it. It is:

1. Awful thing happens to good student 2. Teacher retires from teaching because of awful thing 3. Teacher is promised that things have changed at school & returns 4. Awful thing happens to teacher for no discernible reason

I'm not sure if maybe the original story had more of an explanation for what happens, but this seems to be another Ray Bradbury story that for some reason the theme is "Kids can be evil & there is no stopping them".
