This is a terrible actor to have around a bunch of teenagers, because in the past he has been accused of being sexually inappropriate with them. A simple Google search of "James Franco + teenagers" will reveal a variety of stories.

Perhaps the article should explain who James Franco is besides just saying that he used to teach at the university level.

Seriously - this is gross. James Franco obviously lacks good judgement (he admitted to asking out a 17 year old!). Do we really want him around our teenagers??

Franco would be more of a distraction also I don't think he's credentialed to teach anything!!

This is fantastic. The kids are really excited. Very Cool!
Being taught by someone with actual insight and experience in the industry will be a much better than just another boring theater teacher.
