* FunnyAneurysmMoment: After the ecstasy overdose of a student named Annabelle, Mr. G writes a musical supposedly in her honour. Unfortunately, eleven days after that episode was shot an actual girl named Annabelle died of an ecstasy overdose. There was no time to re-shoot the scenes with a different name, so many people thought this was a deliberate reference. This may not seem too bad unless you've actually ''heard'' the musical which has the lyrics: "She's a naughty girl/ with a bad habit/ Bad habit for drugs." and "She can't help being a slut/ on a Saturday night." The real Annabelle's parents were not amused, and the ABC had to apologise and put one of those "any similarity between actual persons living or dead is purely coincidental" disclaimers on the start of every episode. It ended up being a case of LifeImitatesArt, because in the show, Annabelle's parents are upset with Mr. G's portrayal of their dead daughter, and he is forced to quickly change it to Mr. G: The Musical (though he's not happy about it).

** It's arguably a 'both sides have a point' situation; the teacher is definitely not equipped to handle a student with Jonah's needs and her attempts to do so are often counterproductive at best, but at the same time Jonah is a genuinely disruptive and disrespectful student who doesn't make it easy for her at all. She doesn't help him the way he needs, but he doesn't help himself with regards to her either.
