He has it on good authority that the builder is sorry and seems to know everything there is to know about the school. Given his ManChild tendencies, the “accidental” strangeness of the building was likely an immature prank. He becomes the yard teacher and general school caretaker to [[TheAtoner atone for his sins.]] Taking on this responsibility has created an older, wiser Louis, far beyond the days of [[UpsideDownBlueprints rotated buildings]] and [[MissingFloor missing stories.]]

* This is how Joe can count incorrectly and still somehow get the correct answer. While Joe is counting wrong such as "A thousand, a million, three" he's actually thinking "one, two, three" but doesn't realize it and/or can't properly voice it.

*Well, in the "Mrs. Jewls" chapter, Todd is the first kid to speak out in class. She's probably just keeping a careful eye on him because of this.




to:

*Somewhat confirmed with Mrs. Drazil in ''Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger''. It's revealed she was initially a very cruel teacher, but loosened up over the years. That being said, don't let her see any of the old students she hated...

[[WMG: Mrs. Gorf cursed Todd.]]
And that's why he gets sent home on the kindergarten bus every day.

Think about- he was the one that led the charge that got them turned back into children, and he was the first one she looked for when she returned as a ghost. Also, the book all but calls her a witch, so it's very possible that she cursed him.

trouble, she sent herself home once, but how can it be a coincidence! Either she hates Todd, or she doesn't hate Todd, but the mean teacher inside her does! She always notices Todd talking but nobody else! The whole class can yell and not get in trouble at all, but if Todd even makes a move, he gets in trouble! She hates Todd!

[[WMG: Miss Zarves is a [[VideoGame/{{Destiny}} Vex Gatelord]].]]

She controls a place outside the bounds of time, thus no one knows of it's existence unless she gives someone access. And by gives I mean taking them captive in her realm, never to escape...

[[WMG: Miss Zarves is Mrs. Jewls, Louis, Mr and Mrs. Gorf, etc.]]
Miss Zarves takes place in all the teachers, Mrs. Jewls and Louis gets her always-giving-A personality from the second book, and Mrs. (and Mr.) Gorf's meanness, and much more. So high chance that Miss Zarves is all of their souls, seeing how it shows all of the "Made Up" kids are in her classroom, while most of them being fake from many teachers.

[[WMG: The 19th story is a manifestation of everyone's subconscious.]]

This would explain why they all pretend it doesn't exist--on the most logical level, nobody at Wayside ''knows'' it exists. However, think about who and what is in there:
-Ray, perhaps the little brother Beebee wanted but never got. Or [[PoisonOakEpilepticTrees a child her mother miscarried.]]
-Virginia, a woman old enough to be the kids' parent despite the fact she's never left the classroom, even to use the bathroom. Perhaps she was a traumatized student with a disorder like PTSD, who everyone ignored and who escaped to the empty nineteenth floor for some peace.
-The cow--there is in fact still a cow in the building, but if Louis acknowledged it, he'd go completely batty. Plus, he could never get effective help for said battiness because [[CassandraTruth no one outside Wayside would believe such a crazy school and its denizens could actually exist.]]
-Mark Miller/Benjamon Nushmutt: Whoever the kid is, he has a massive identity crisis, and the nineteenth floor is his way of coping.

If anyone visits the nineteenth floor, they are confronted with the deepest dreams and fears of their psychological subconscious. Or if, like Allison, they seem to get there via an injury or accident, they just see the aforementioned alternate dimension-type stuff and come to the conclusion that it was AllJustADream. To add:

[[WMG: Miss Zarves is an AxCrazy NightmareFuelStationAttendant.]]

If during your trip to the nineteenth story you are exposed to your subconscious, she will give you a SadisticChoice. Either remain in her classroom as a prisoner, aging forever with no one knowing where you are, or be killed using your greatest fear. For example, she would've let Louis be trampled by a herd of rampaging cows. Why does she do this? Because [[FreudianExcuse she had one of the worst childhoods ever, of course.]] What she describes in the book isn't the half of it; the rest was just deemed too thematically disturbing for young kids.

I don't know, maybe she was a teacher who got sacked or a secretary who some of the students thought was a teacher even though nobody knew any of the kids in her class. ''Something''' had to have started this pervasive rumour that there's a nineteenth story and someone named Miss Zarves is the teacher between floors eighteen and twenty. Maybe Louis put the rumour in one of those stories he tells to the students.
