History YMMV / BadEducation

** When [[spoiler: Pickwell]] saves the school from bankruptcy in the Series 2 finale, it is with [[spoiler: money left to her by her German consort the Beast of Bergendorf. Specifically "the gold he stashed in Switzerland".]] That's right. Abbey Grove is now financed with [[spoiler: NaziGold.]] Though this is lessened slightly by Fraser losing it at all by investing it in his Dolce and Gabanter clothing range at the start of Series 3.

!! The Fanfic
* NeverLiveItDown: Tom keeps having to fend off rumors that he's dating a student named Hester Hopkirk. [[note]]In reality, Hester's attempts to flirt with him went nowhere, but she did trick him into saying "yes" in front of Professor [=McGonagall=]. He makes it clear that a date is NOT happening, but it's not enough to stop the rumor from spreading.[[/note]]

!! The Serie

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Fraser admits that at one point he was way too liberal with "the N-word", ''right in front of a black woman''. This is meant to be a BaitAndSwitch when he reveals the "N-word" he was talking about was actually "No". Fraser then brags about how he's banned the students [[NotHelpingYourCase from ever saying no]]...[[ExplainExplainOhCrap unless they're girls]].

** During the Series 2 premiere episode, Fraser introduces the swimming gala by lighting the Olympic Torch (which is shoddily made), which goes disastrously when the torch stands collapse into the shape of a cross, and set on fire. Whilst Fraser tries to put the fire out, his white swimming gown is revealed to have a pointed hood, making him look like a member of the [[UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan Ku Klux Klan]]. The whole crowd (Alfie facepalms) is shocked at this display (one of the school governors, Mr Smith, ''a black man in this instance'', is silently seething in rage).

** Martin and Alfie mention that Alfie auditioned for ''[[Film/HarryPotter Harry Potter]]'' once and even got down to the final three, but he lost out the spot to [[Creator/EmmaWatson Emma Watson]], who plays Hermione. In real life, [[Creator/JackWhitehall Jack Whitehall]] (Alfie's actor) auditioned for the role of Harry Potter as well, but he lost out to [[Creator/DanielRadcliffe Daniel Radcliffe]] instead of Emma Watson.

*** In the next episode, he reveals that because of the incident, Pickwell threatened to report him to child welfare agencies (which could put his job in jeopardy) unless she hired Kevin, the titular substitute teacher.
