1	Superintendent Chalmers becomes a teacher and gets Bart interested in learning about Teddy Roosevelt.
2
3	!! Tropes:
4	* ADayInTheLimelight: For Superintendent Chalmers.
5	* ArtShift: The CouchGag was done by Creator/JohnKricfalusi in his own [[DerangedAnimation unique style]].
6	* ContinuityNod: One of the items sold at the auction is a basket of [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS21E2BartGetsAZ Edna's Edibles muffins.]]
7	* CoolTeacher: Superintendent Chalmers [[HiddenDepths of all people]] turns out to be this when he puts his hand to teaching, which he hasn't actually done in many years. He leads Bart and, eventually, the bullies and Milhouse with a more hands-on style that engages them in a way the classroom environment doesn't.
8	* TheDogBitesBack: The Roosevelt plot started with Principal Skinner standing up to Superintendent Chalmers.
9	-->'''Chalmers:''' [[InsultToRocks I'd say you're dumb as a post, but at least you can put a sign on a post that says, "Fresh strawberries-- one mile]]." You are a nitwit in an ill-fitting suit.\
10	'''Skinner:''' ''([[TranquilFury quietly]])'' I'll have you know I'm lop-shouldered.\
11	'''Chalmers:''' I'm sorry, what did you say?\
12	'''Skinner:''' I said, I'm lop-shouldered...[[RageBreakingPoint and I have been since I was hung by my armpits in a North Vietnamese prison!]]\
13	'''Chalmers:''' [[OhCrap I... I didn't know that]].\
14	'''Skinner:''' [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Oh, the list of things you don't know could fill a week's worth of morning announcements, with enough left over for a send-home flyer!]]\
15	'''Chalmers:''' There's no need for hyperbole, Seymour.\
16	'''Skinner:''' If you think it's so easy to handle Bart Simpson, [[LetsSeeYouDoBetter why don't you do it yourself?!]]\
17	''(The rest of the teaching staff cheers.)''
18	* DroppedInSpeechClip: Superintendent Chalmers plays a wax cylinder recording of a speech by UsefulNotes/TheodoreRoosevelt (who actually receives a guest star credit).
19	* SeashellBra: [[MsFanservice Mrs. Krabappel's]] mermaid costume.
20	* SillyWalk: [[https://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2011/10/simpsons-interview-pt-2-models-and.html According to John Kricfalusi's blog]], one of the challenges he faced animating the CouchGag was trying to keep Marge's iconic BeehiveHairdo from overtaking the visual of her crazy walk.
21	* SixthRanger: Kearney joins with Bart, Milhouse, Nelson, Dolph and Jimbo to help get Chalmers his job back, even though he did not partake in the field trip with the others.
22	* SpecialGuest: Teddy Roosevelt's actual voice is heard in the episode, through the playing of archived recordings; he is even listed in the episode's closing credits.
