[[WMG: Carlos is [[Franchise/SpiderMan JJJ]].]]
He legally changed his name to J. Jonah Jameson at some point after he grew up and went on to become a reporter, and his irrational hatred of Spider-Man is because of his arachnophobia.

Ms Frizzle is implied to be possibly Jewish (her "Tante Gefilte"), Arnold is Jewish, and they both have curly red hair. Ms Frizzle realized she's part of a StableTimeLoop and if no one helps her past self stop being such a scaredy-cat, her future self will never come to be! So she tends to give Arnold extra attention. And based on Arnold's CharacterDevelopment, it's apparently working.

Not as out there as the other theories on this page, but I felt it was worth adding.

[[WMG: In "For Lunch", the reason Dorothy Ann says "According to my research, after chewing comes swallowing!"]]
Is because she had to have a feeding tube in the past (what for is up to you) and therefore only recently has been able to eat normally.

Added a theory regarding the eleven additional students from the books

Added DiffLines:


[[WMG: If the eleven additional students from the Books were given personalities]]
Although most of the eleven additional students didn't make it into the show, with only Carmen and Michael being given cameos/minor roles, if the eleven additional students '''did''' make it onto the show, they're personalities will primarily be this.
* Alex (the brown-haired student in the striped sweater) would be portrayed as Arnold's best friend and foil to his nervous tendencies.
* Amanda Jane (the blonde-haired girl in the green polka-dotted dress) would more or less be a female Arnold, but not as nervous as him.
* Carmen (the mix race girl in the red shirt) will serve as a smarter half to Carlos.
* Florrie (the Hispanic girl in the lavender dress) will act in a role similar to Keesha but will downplay her worrying tendencies.
* Gregory (The blonde-haired boy in the blue striped shirt) will act as a friendly bully with a soft spot for animals.
* John (the biracial boy in a blue and yellow striped shirt) will more or less serve as a younger foil to Carlos.
* Michael (the Asian American boy in the red and yellow sweater vest) will more or less be in the background.
* Molly (the African American girl in the sailor outfit and beaded bangs) will serve as the youngest of the students
* Phil (the redheaded boy in the green sweater) will be the oldest of the students, as well as the tallest.
* Rachael (the one that looks like a tomboyish version of Phoebe) will more or less be Wanda's best friend
* And finally, Shirley (the curly haired blonde girl in the flower pattern pink shirt) will be a Southern Belle with a slight crush on Arnold.

** Actually, there are bus TARDISes, as Iris Wildthyme [[note]] A Time Lady (In the expanded universe so she never showed up in the show itself) from a parallel universe who has her own spin-off series which every once in a while crosses over with The Doctor's [[/note]] has one.

I mean, it is called the MAGIC school bus. So Frizzle is a witch who got tired of doing the regular Witch stuff of flying around aimlessly scaring others, and so went to get a teaching degree. She used magic to give her bus and her pet lizard sentience, and her constant field trips are her way of still practicing magic with her class while also teaching them science. She normally doesn't talk about it since she doesn't want to draw too much attention, but she does occasionally have to talk about like when she helped Molly Cule get her music career going, or when she needed a mechanical repair at her regular repair man.
