* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Mr. Wakefield doesn't jump to conclusions blindly and will investigate and question the students brought to him. Even with potentially serious incidents like a student being found out of bounds in the chemical store room, when the student asks if Mr. Adams (the science master) has actually checked to see if there's anything missing, he has Mr. Adams go to actually check.

* GenreSavvy: Mr. Wakefield is very sharp when it comes to the comic-book-style shenanigans that the students pull, from realising that a student as a magazine down the back of his shorts to act as padding against a caning, to admonishing them later for their lack of originality.

* IntoxicationEnsues: One of the students' pranks involves putting alcohol in the kettle in the staffroom. When Mr Milton, Mr Bean, Mr Adams, Miss Allcock, and Miss Short take their morning tea break, they get completely smashed and play a raucous game of Musical Chairs while singing a variation on "Ten Green Bottles". When Miss Wheeler and Mr Grigg walk in during the game and Miss Wheeler declares Miss Allcock to be drunk, the latter challenges her to a fight, but her lack of co-ordination means she hits Mr Grigg instead, causing Mr Milton to roar with laughter.
* PlotHole: When the staff room kettle is spiked with alcohol, it makes all the teachers incredibly drunk. In reality, the kettle would have just boiled the alcohol off and left just hot water.

** At first the students describe Mr. Grigg and Miss Wheeler as "the ones we have to get rid of", despite the fact they should want them there so they can see how out of control the school is, which would make it less likely for Mr. Wakefield to get his new job. Writer Norman Hudis didn't write the line, [[CreatorBacklash and it still bothers him to this day]].

''Carry On Teacher'' is the third ''Film/CarryOn'' film and was released in 1959. It starred Ted Ray, Creator/KennethConnor, Creator/CharlesHawtrey, Creator/LesliePhillips, Creator/JoanSims, Creator/KennethWilliams, Creator/HattieJacques, Creator/RosalindKnight, and Cyril Chamberlain. This movie probably wouldn't have existed if its prequel ''Film/CarryOnNurse'' hadn't done as well as ''Film/CarryOnSergeant''. Once that film became popular, the creators were offered a [[FiveYearPlan five-film contract]] to continue the ''Film/CarryOn'' series and destroy the box-office. Luckily, this movie was popular enough in the summer of 1959 to [[ObligatoryJoke carry on]] the series.
