Alice Johnson was always my favorite character on Room 222. She was the kind of teacher you always hoped you got idealistic, kind hearted (not to mention very cute). In this episode our favorite student teacher gets her first important task. Robert Salazar is a Mexican student who is very bright but indifferent about going to college and school in general. He comes to life during an in class discussion about the Battle of the Alamo and Alice decides to take him under her wing and persuade him to go to college. However, her good hearted idealism is shattered when he decides not to go and settles on a simple life of a gardner. There is a good scene where she talks to Robert about trying even if you are afraid to fail.

Robert Salazar is a Mexican American student that Alice wants to help get into college.
A good episode. Robert is bright but is not interested in college. Alice convinces him to take an exam. He is grateful but is more interested in marrying his high school sweetheart and becoming a gardener. Robert's father is played by Natividad Vacio, who played one of the villagers in "The Magnificent Seven" (1960).
