**But what about when Sikowitz appears at the end of the episodes with Tori, specifically mentioning the slap? Although, maybe Sikowitz is the only teacher who knows, and he is not the person you'd come to about stuff like that.

** He's meant to be an exaggerated character version of Vice Principal Vernon from the movie the episode was based on. Meaning that he's very easy to get a reaction from and not as bright as he'd like to think he is. As it's an episode of a sitcom, rather than a subversive and gritty teen comedy, the comedic aspect is just exacerbated so he comes across as an incompetent buffoon rather than just unreasonable and angry.

** Just because Trina doesn't have the best record of her shows doesn't mean she's not allowed to book the theater if they have any open spaces for shows. If anything the staff might encourage her to perform her completed shows as much as she feels she can so that she can get in the experience and the practice. They may not have allowed her to take up too many slots both to let other students have a shot, and if the show turned out to be a flop, but in that episode in particular she actually got excellent reviews due to it being framed by Robbie as a comedy. Which she just rolled with.

** Perhaps rather than needing to turn in a physical copy in at school the next day, they're being made to submit their assignment online through some sort of student portal for the teacher to review and grade over the weekend.

* In the crossover episode "iParty With Victorious", Sam mentions that Tori looks like "that Shelby Marx chick" that Carly fought, who was indeed played by Victoria Justice. This line has potential to explain why no one questions why certain actors keep popping up as different characters within the different shows! They just happen to be lookalikes or closely resemble each other. There's even an episode of iCarly where the cast specifically seek out kids who look similar to them for a segment. Tori just happens to look like Shelby Marx in the same way that Spencer and Carly happen to look similar to Crazy Steve and Megan from Drake & Josh, the former of whom is even mentioned by Helen when she becomes Hollywood Arts' principal. Celebrity lookalikes or impersonators are not an uncommon occurrence in real life, so it makes sense for that to be the case here.
Added DiffLines:
** It's possible that within the different shows' continuities, Drake and Josh ''is'' simply a reality show, or else another sitcom within different shows. Helen referencing Crazy Steve may be just her making a joke about her fellow actor on the show, if he was anywhere near as zany in real life as his character is, or else shes referring to the actual character as her prime example of what crazy looks like.

** If it helps any, the Rex that we see after the mutilation may in-universe be a fake body made to look like Rex or well done practical effects makeup rather than Rex being actually horrifically maimed by a turbine. It's just more difficult to tell the difference between the real Rex and a well constructed body double because, well, Rex is a ''puppet''. Which would be conceivably easier to make a replica of than a human being.

** Alternatively, when people want juicy gossip, the people they most want to hear it about are those who are well known and liked, especially if it's highly unexpected (exactly the reason celebrity gossip rags are popular). While all of Robbie's friends fit the bill, Trina herself wouldn't provide much gossip material. She's so infamous for being self absorbed that someone talking bad about her would probably be just another Tuesday at Hollywood Arts. While all the rest have generally good reputations and are known in their school for being talented. Even while Jade isn't 'liked' so much as 'feared' by the school's populace, her untouchability as a frightening person and her talent as an actress would mean that any dirt someone could dig up on her would be very powerful stuff.

** The latter is indeed a good point. Because there is at least one incident that we ''know of'' where Jade has resorted to underhanded tactics to try and force Tori out of the lead role. In the episode where Robbie needs a blood transfusion, wherein Jade intentionally sabotages at least one blood bag that Tori has donated to help him; not only making Tori become too dizzy to perform, but ultimately putting her life at risk because Tori ends up needing to donate ''three pints'' of her own blood in part thanks to her actions (for reference, three pints of blood is about 30% of the body's blood volume, losing which can actually begin to classify as experiencing a Class 2 Hemorrhage). Jade was a minor at the time and the sabotage couldn't be proven, but going any further than that as an adult in the working world and that kind of behavior has the potential to not only get her blacklisted as an actress, but put her in ''jail'' depending on how far she takes it (and we know Jade is willing to take things pretty darn far). Those lessons in humility may well prevent her from becoming a full blown criminal in the future if they stick.

* While it's true that the "Bird Scene" has a lot of problems, it totally fits into the problem that Tori faced early in the series. The point of the "Bird Scene" is for the student to feel proud of themselves and of their talents, no matter what the people around them said. As stated in the first episode, the reason why Tori never tried out to roll into "Hollywood Arts" was because her low self-esteem held her back and because she was not sure if she was good enough. The "Bird Scene" taught her that she was already talented, she just had to believe in herself and not to care about others' (particularly Jade's) opinions.
