Edna KrabappelEdna Krabappel is voiced by Marcia Wallace. She is a sterotypical "downtrodden schoolteacher" who has had any idealism that she ever had beaten out of her by the sad realities of resource hungry schools and misbehaving children. Despite holding a Master's degree from Bryn Mawr College, she seems poorly educated, a caricature of American public school teachers, as evidenced by the episode when Lisa steals all the teacher's manuals and the teachers are unable to do any work. Edna teaches Bart Simpson, Milhouse Van Houten, and Martin Prince, among others. Edna is separated from her husband, who ran off with their marriage counselor. As a result, she severely misses male company, and it is occasionally implied that she feels her biological clock ticking. In early episodes she is portrayed as very sexually aggressive: in the episode Flaming Moe, she tried to pick up both the drummer from Aerosmith and Homer Simpson, even after learning that he was married. In later episodes, though, she develops a secret, but seemingly stable, romantic relationship with Seymour Skinner, the school's principal, which almost makes it to the altar. This is one of the exceedingly few cases where Simpsons characters have apparently undergone personal evolution within the show's history. However, she's also been seen gadding about with Apu, Sideshow Bob, and Comic Book Guy. Her last name is International Phonetic Alphabet ," a play on the fruit "crabapple." Matt Groening admitted in a commentary on the DVD of the first season, it was meant to be a joke that no one called her "crabapple," and indeed no one did-until the real Seymour Skinner came along (see above) and then Van Houten family did it once in the fifteenth season (2003-04). Simpsons characters Edna KrabappelJeez, Does the author really think it's necessary to make such a generalized insult against teachers? "She is also rather poorly educated, after the manner of American public school teachers, as evidenced by the episode when Bart steals all the teacher's manuals."
