** In the first story of the first book, we're introduced to a teacher named Mrs. Gorf, who's able to turn children into apples and does so over the most minor offenses. She ends up turning the entire class into apples; even the missing kids' parents have no idea what happened to them. The other school employees assume Mrs. Gorf must be a great teacher because of all those apples on her desk. Finally, the apples mount an attack, pin down the teacher, and demand to be changed back. At the end of the story, she accidentally turns herself into an apple via a mirror. Louis, the playground monitor comes in and, unaware of its true nature, ''eats it''.
** In ''Wayside School is Falling Down'', Allison accidentally ends up in [[EldritchLocation Miss Zarves' class on the 19th floor]]. It is common knowledge among the students of Wayside that the building doesn't have a 19th floor, and that Miss Zarves doesn't exist. None of the students in the class have ever left the classroom, and they spend their time doing meaningless assignments, like memorizing the dictionary, and getting meaningless A's.

*** Paul nearly falling out of the window of the thirtieth story. He's dangling for dear life from a brick and asks Leslie to not leave him as she tries to offer her hand, with no time to get help. Leslie is too little to reach him despite her best efforts, and his fingers are slipping. She saves his life by telling him to grab her pigtails while she leans back.

Louis doesn't believe it, telling the kids the fear is all in their heads. He completely understands, going OhCrap when thinking ''his'' SadistTeacher had returned.

** Mrs. Jewls comes off as a less sympathetic teacher in the 2010s, though the books were written in the 1970s and 80s. She thinks that taping everyone's mouths is a great way to keep them quiet after seeing how well it works on Jason-- masking tape which is easily removable, but still NightmareFuel in the day and age where restraints used on special needs kids have led to suffocation and death -- and considers it a fair punishment to send kids home early on the kindergarten bus. Besides the obvious of GettingSuspendedIsAwesome, it essentially means she's not doing her job as a teacher. Not to mention that when the mean Mrs. Jewls takes over, she commits several offenses that would be firing-worthy if the kids decided to rat her out. She nearly hits Todd with a yardstick so hard that it breaks, and comes close to dousing Leslie's head in pickle brine just because Leslie was confused about the lesson. All Mrs. Jewls does is punish herself by sending herself home on the kindergarten bus.
** Louis has to deal with Terrence in the latter's spotlight chapter when he kicks every ball in the playground over the fence. He had already fielded complaints from the other kids, who said that Terrence ruined their games. Terrence then whines that there's nothing else to kick, and the kids and Louis tell him there is. The kid then demands it. Louis then kicks Terrence over the fence as punishment for his bad attitude and because he asked for something to kick. Now imagine a 2010s teacher kicking a student over the fence as punishment, especially if the school is next to a busy road.
