* MythologyGag: Not content with tormenting Ms. Wilder, Bart goes to her house and mocks her name with a limerick, which is taken from the ''Little House'' book where Eliza Jane shares an incident where colleagues mocked her name with said limerick and her tudents memorized and repeated through the town.

** To a lesser extent, a teacher being forced to resign because she can't keep her bigger student(s) under control, only to manage it thanks to a collective effort from the schoolchildren is taken from Season 2's "Troublemaker", in which Miss Beadle was fired because she couldn't keep bigger students from causing trouble and starting fights at school, and when she gets her job back, her students get a troublemaking student to back down by glaring at him whenever he tries to make trouble in class and making it clear that nobody else is putting up with his actions anymore.

* ScoobyDooHoax: As part of a scheme to get Bart to stop tormenting Ms. Wilder, Albert uses a wolf-man disguise to convince the bully boy he's a dangerous werewolf and a pier-paper rock to let him think he has super-strength, and thatbthe only way to keep hom safe is by baheaving at school. Unfortunately, Carrie accidentally exposes him.

* TheDogBitesBack: On the day Eliza Jane announces she will be stepping down as Walnut Grove's teacher (citing untenable conditions), her speech is impeded by Bart's playing of the harmonica. Towards the end of her speech, she alludes to her unpleasant situation being exacerbated by "a rich fool". When Bart (realizing she's talking about his father) takes umbrage at the comment, Ms. Wilder replies:
--> "How did you know I was talking about your father? Was it the word 'rich', or the word 'fool'?"

* BigBrotherInstinct: Inverted, as Albert is actually ''younger'' than Laura, but still jumps right in to defend her when Bart harasses her. Then PlayedWith, as Almanzo (who at this point is quite fond of "Beth" but definitely has no romantic inclinations towards her) steps in to defend her (and, by extension, Albert) from the hulking bully.

* TheBully: New student Bart Slater, Jr, who not only regularly torments his classmates, but also Miss Wilder, to the point where she almost quits until the other students intervene; the boy's father, Bart Sr, also qualifies as such.
