GMW's weaknesses came from the point of view that the supporting cast served to fit Riley's world rather than Riley fitting into the world.
Oh man...So much this.
You've pinpointed a major problem with this show. Riley and Maya were supposed to be the best friends in the history of forever and it's supposed to always be that way. If anything gets in the way then the world needs to bend to Riley's will to make her wish happen.
Instead of learning how to function in the world as a meaningful member of society, Riley learned nothing and just expected everything to be her way. If it didn't, her and her friends would all sit in a window, look at the ground and mope about it.
I mean, Corey stopped his class and had his brother travel to NYC to fix Riley and Maya's relationship. I understand willing suspension of disbelief but it's hard to ignore that any teacher would at least be put on administrative leave for pulling a stunt like that. Maya's and Riley's relationship was fixed at the expense of the other students' education. More than once.
