The Magic School Bus

Go To

Just wondering how things go in that setting. It seems to me the school administration must know about the Bus, since otherwise they would probably be bothered by one teacher taking so many excursions in one year (and I doubt whether that could be concealed given that they would notice a bus and a class missing). On the other hand, if that were the case, I would expect them to demand that she take other classes on magical excursions as well, which from what I've heard is implied not to be the case. As for who else (if anyone) knows, I have no idea.

P.S. I've only read one or two of the books, and that was years ago.

wild mass guess Ms Frizzle is a Time Lord and the Magic School Bus is her TARDIS.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

IIRC, they did notice that the class was missing in one episode (the Egg hatching one).

wild mass guess Weirdness Censor probably has a lot to do with it. "Okay, I just saw a bus fly into space. I've been at this school for too long."

There was one in which the bus got them into a Light-based pinball game, and they needed to win to get out, before the principal got too suspicious...
