* What little of the curriculum shown at Eden Academy in ''Manga/SpyXFamily'' is above what first graders like Anya should be studying, such as fractions at an age where most kids have yet to master basic arithmetic. Even allowing for Eden being an advanced school, most children that age have yet to have an opportunity to study anything yet.

** Justified with Draco Malfoy, who often avoids punishment or foists it off on someone else because he is the son of a prominent Wizarding family and his father Lucius is practically wrapped around his finger. This unfortunately, means that he cannot receive a harsh punishment.

* ''Film/GodsNotDead'' centers around a university student debating the existence of God with his philosophy professor. The inciting incident is said professor giving his students an assignment worth 30% of their grade: Writing "God Is Dead" on a sheet of paper. As discussed in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5tv10RpEPg this Wisecrack video]], there is basically no way this would ever be allowed at a typical American university. Not only is this religious discrimination, which any university worth its accreditation would have an interest in shutting down, but the professor would also have to get this curriculum approved by the rest of the philosophy department, which would never happen.

** Severus Snape shows blatant favoritism towards the Slytherin House by taking points from other houses, give point deductions for flimsy reasons and either overlooking or not noticing Slytherin transgressions, and he treats Harry like crap because [[SinsOfOurFathers his father used to bully him]]. He also has a practical lesson on his first day of class, using materials that can and ''do'' result in student injury if handled improperly without first ensuring that the students know enough about proper lab technique to follow instructions safely, something that would get a real chemistry teacher sacked on the spot. Dumbledore is aware of this and never tries to reign Snape in because he values having a defected Death Eater more than having a competent teacher. In fact, none of the teachers seem to show any concern for classroom safety given all the ways spells can go wrong or magic creatures can hurt people.
