* TheWoobie: To a certain extent, Jack's entire class could count. While many of them are weird and some of them are unpleasant, they're not exactly wrong to be upset that Jack isn't preparing them for the AP test.
** Principal Durbin also counts, as he's constantly made to suffer for his meekness in spite of being a perfectly decent guy.
** Dave is unfairly hated on by most of the school for no logical reason.

* HollywoodHomely: Heather fits this trope to a T. While she's clearly done up to look slightly off-putting, it does nothing to hide the fact that she's played by a very good-looking actress.

* HollywoodHomely: Heather fits this trope to a T. While she's clearly done up to look slightly off-putting, it does nothing to hide the fact that she's played by a very good-looking actress. The show seems to lean into this by making her the love interest for class stud Dan.

Not really. The class was always going to be major part of the series


** Really, the entire student cast could count as this. They're not the main focus of the show, and even spend some early episodes OutOfFocus, but their performances are each so distinct and charismatic that it can be easy to forget that. Season 2 noticeably makes a point of almost always having Jack's plotlines be tied to his class in some way in order to amp up their screentime as much a possible.

* BrokenBase: Is the second season's LighterAndSofter approach a glowing example of a show GrowingTheBeard and finding a more consistent voice, or an unfortunate case of ExecutiveMeddling that caused the show to lose a good deal of the edge that made it stand out?
