And I have STILL never seen a more contrived scene in a movie. That scene where his teacher confronted him demanding to know who he was was total bullcrap. There might be REASONS why a family moving to a new town and a new school would keep their origins secret. Maybe she was fleeing an abusive husband who was beating the crap out of her and her son and was stalking her like a lifetime movie or something or maybe it was witness protection because the mafia wanted them dead who knows but no way in hell would a teacher who had a handsome well behaved student confront him in such an abrasive and sudden manner, basically ambushing him. The scene was just totally horribly contrived. If they had wanted a scene like that there should have been more to arouse suspicion in the teacher, the scene was just rushed and contrived and made me wish whoever had written the scene would have been killed and dismembered....

Um, first of all, he found out that the paperwork he gave the school was fake. Second of all, he got rediculed infront of the class with the box thing. Third, a person like that teacher has a natural grudge for young charismatic pretty boys as he is neither.
In my opinion, i see a guy like that do exact same manner in a hillbilly town like that, just to teach the kid a lesson and to show whos boss.
It did get a bit unnessary (spelling i aint english) out of hand by the teacher smacking the hand between the door of the car, but a heated discussion can easily get out of hand ... no pun intended ... like that.
So it wasnt all that far fetched. I find it strange that you fall over something like that while shapeshifting lizard thingys are perfectly normal ...

so your saying the scene was contrived?

The teacher was a molester who wanted 'other forms of payment' from the boy if he was to keep quiet, remember? He learned to keep his hands to himself, though.

Listening to the new commentary on the Eureka blu-ray, Garris reports that the gay actor didn’t want to play a stereotypical predatory homosexual, so they added the stuff about him discovering that Charles’ records were ‘fakes’. It was a lazy afterthought to appease a woke actor.
