- Did she teach only one class, and what was she doing the other periods?
- Teacher movies always show one class, teachers caught off guard by the bell, and kids already in class, none of which happens in reality.
- A self-contained 'back class' from a teaching year is offered as a possible explanation, but the counselor's reference to a next class rules it out.
- Joke sequel titles: 'Not Quite as Dangerous Minds' with a fourth-period class, and 'Dangerous Behinds'.
- Why are there white students in the class who are never named? Compared to a white player in Above the Rim, explained as the coach's son per a friend named Ryan.
- Did Raul graduate? Probably, and the chance to be first in his family to graduate resonates.
