History Headscratchers / NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide

*** I thought that was just a Ned and Moze thing? Moze was the only one who brought it up since she took issue with the fact that Ned was blowing off Movie-Video-Games-Pizza-Night for a date with Suzie and her mom in "Guide to: Social Studies."

* In "Guide To: Substitute Teachers," why did Cookie get punished for filling in as a substitute teacher? Sure he didn't have a license, but the only reason he was in the position was because of Crubbs forcing him to be a sub even though Cookie didn't want to do it at first. If anything, this makes Crubbs look like an idiot and pocess a NeverMyFault attitude as he was the one who punished Cookie in the end.

* Why didn't Ned have the decency to break up with Suzie before asking Moze out? They never even mention it, apparently he just ditched her, and might have just never spoken to her again for all we know.

* Does anyone even know what the heck they're saying in the intro? The only thing I can pick out are the words "Skate team". Why is this so difficult to decipher?
** Here appear to be the lyrics after Ned's intro dialogue and before he says the title: ''Joinin up, looking out, I'll survive with no doubt! Never fear! Bring it on! Breaking down what it's in my way! And Iiiiiiiiiiiiii'm finding my place in this world.''

* The cat-and-mouse relationship between Crubbs and Gordy makes no sense. [[Memes/WesternAnimation The public school system DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!]] The assistant principal is in charge of ''student'' discipline; personnel matters are handled on the district level. Sure, they might not ''like'' each other, but it would be someone else's problem.

** Does Gordy actually know that Crubbs can't fire him though, though? And does it really matter who is responsible for the final decision? Even if Gordy doesn't report directly to Crubbs, the assistant principal would probably have more influence with Gordy's boss than the janitor who is shown to never clean anything.
** Then you run into InformedAbility issues; Gordy's ''shown'' to be lazy, but the school '''is''' clean unless Main/RuleOfFunny requires otherwise.

*** Overall cleanliness of the school IS the job of the night janitors, unless the day crew's contracts specify they clean up major messes during the day but must have the whole place spotless before they can leave for the day.

* In Guide to: The First Day, they make a BIG deal about Cookie sweating himself half to death in his puffy coat. Loomer's wearing his leather jacket and doesn't seem the slightest bit uncomfortable. Any ideas other than RuleOfCool meets StockCostumeTraits?
** Perhaps the puffy coat is significantly thicker than Loomer's leather jacket. Though the first day of school where this troper lives would be too hot for anything but a short sleeved shirt and shorts.

* In the "Halloween" episode, after Ned, Cookie, Moze, Crubbs and Gordy have been trying to keep people from finding out that the haunted house they constructed may have caused Principal Pal to be scared to death (literally). At the end, it turns out the whole thing was a practical joke and Pal was only faking it, much to the astonishment of his would-be killers:

** So, how is that possible? How the Hell does a guy go through life without a pulse? How would his blood circulate? A friend of mine suggested that his blood just flows naturally, and doesn't need to be pumped, and as a result he has no pulse, but went on to point out that that isn't possible.

*** Is it possible for you to go on living with blood pressure so low that it's impossible for someone to hear your pulse? (Not being sarcastic, seriously asking...)

*** Anyone improperly trained (like a lazy janitor or twelve year old kids) wouldn't be able to find a pulse properly. This Troper has trouble finding his own pulse, and I'm an Eagle Scout (although the First Aid merit badge is far from certification)! A vice principal should, in theory, have proper training, but maybe its different wherever the show takes place.

*** Alternatively, it could mean that it is simply very hard to find his pulse. I am trained and sometimes finding a pulse seems nigh impossible - you find it and then within seconds you lose it. Personally, half the time I can't even find my own brachial pulse, but it is there.
* Why couldn't Ned have just said "Whoa, hey, sorry about that, I'd actually like to study date with you." to Suzie?

* Do the gang interact outside of school? I always got the gist they were only friends in-school.

* You know what I never understood? Ned does poorly in school but yet HE'S the one with the school survival guide! Does he not apply his own tips or...
** Ned is lazy and average. Plus his tips are usually applied to himself or his friends in episode so presumably those are new tips. Which makes sense seeing as you need different skills in middle school than you would it grade school with some basic carry over.

** Also, it's a lot easier to give advice than it is to follow it.
* In "School Clubs", why did Cookie have a baby picture of Ned in his wallet?
