| 1 | * AdaptationDisplacement: The film is much more well-known than the novel it's based on. |
| 2 | * AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Mr. Bell, the Gym teacher, SadistTeacher or SternTeacher? On the one hand he bullies Fats repeatedly to make a difficult jump, which he cannot do and in the process injures himself. On the other hand Bell makes a point of catching all the students after they make the jump, and when Fats does crash, Mr. Bell cushions his fall. Potter and the others feel Bell's had it in for Fats and bullies him, but we never see Mr. Bell in any other scenes and Potter and the others are quick to anger. |
| 3 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "If you wanted the sky, I would write across the sky in letters, that would soar a thousand feet high: [[TitleDrop to Sir, with love]]" |
| 4 | * SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The entire class showing up for the funeral of a classmate's mother, in defiance of the community's views on mixed-race families. |
| 5 | * HilariousInHindsight: This movie features a well-spoken black teacher helping some white students. Now think about how funny that is in the wake of all the SaveOurStudents movies that feature a white teacher inspiring black students... |
| 6 | * IronWoobie: Thackeray, being a NoRespectGuy amongst his class for his race up to his DarkestHour with no student support at all that nearly pushes him to resign from teaching even if he soldiers on despite initially having nothing to lose now in his teaching career. |

| 8 | * ItWasHisSled: The cup gifted to Thackeray by the end of the film. |
