* CoolTeacher: Played around with regarding Peggy, who briefly reverts back to her earlier season personality and is actually making an effort to be a good teacher to David. Not for her ego mind you, but so he can earn a decent grade and so he actually gets an education. She's distraught when she thinks she failed him as a teacher and blames herself for his bad grades, but becomes incensed learning Hank flubbed his work study grade just to keep him on the football team. She then manages to help David understand how propane works so he can raise his grade on his own.
Added DiffLines:
* ItsAllMyFault: Peggy starts to believe David's terrible grades were because she was a bad teacher after learning he got a good mark on his work study essay. Suffice to say, she's not happy when Hank admits he gave David a grade he didn't deserve.
Added DiffLines:
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The booster club and David's own mom are willing to convince everyone he's mentally impaired so Hank and Peggy will back off, to the point of making it look like he has the mental faculties of a five year old.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Hank Hill, a man who values hard work and ethics more than anything, gives David a pass on his horrible work study essay just to keep him on the football team. It's deconstructed as Hank first has to steel himself by drinking a beer in order to mark the grade, and ultimately cannot go through with the charade when the guilt eats away at him ''and'' he sees how destroyed Peggy is when she genuinely starts to think David's awful grades were because she wasn't a good enough teacher.

* ExactWords: In order to convince Peggy that things are on the level, Hank says David knows more about propane than any Hawaiian person he's ever met. Given how few Pacific Islander Americans live in Texas, it's quite possible that he actually is purely by default.

When Peggy lands a substitute teaching job at Arlen High, she quickly becomes PersonaNonGrata for flunking the school's star football player.
