2	* '''Straight''': [[BigGuyLittleGuy Flash and Pete]] are rarely seen going to school when they should.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Flash, Pete, along with [[Fiction500 Norman]] and [[CasanovaWannabe Eddie]] skip a full year of school.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Although Flash and Pete often complain about homework and [[SadistTeacher how cruel their teachers are]], they are never actually seen attending school.
5	* '''Justified''': They attend such a SuckySchool that nobody would begrudge their skipping.
6	* '''Inverted''': The kids [[BoardingSchool never leave]] [[AcademyOfAdventure their school]].
7	* '''Subverted''':
8	** They're not seen at school, but at the end they are.
9	** Trope High is an online school and uses teleconferencing for schooling.
10	* '''Double Subverted''':
11	** But something else happens, so they leave again.
12	** Flash and Pete do not participate in Trope High's teleconferencing.
13	* '''Parodied''': Flash and Pete casually leave [[EverybodyHatesMathematics math class]], and while plenty of people, including the math teacher and the principal, see them go, nobody lifts a finger to stop them. In fact, they may even convince everyone else to just ditch the place!
14	* '''Zig Zagged''': Some days they go to school, other days they don't, and on the days when they do go to school, they spend varying amounts of time there.
15	* '''Averted''': The kids are often seen attending classes between adventures.

17	* '''Lampshaded''': [[TitleDrop "Shouldn't we be in school right now?"]]

19	* '''Exploited''':
20	** An ObstructiveBureaucrat gets wind of their truancy and makes their parents' lives hell.
21	** A BeleagueredBureaucrat gets wind of their truancy and tries to impress on them the importance of education in a formal setting.
22	* '''Defied''': The kids' parents make them attend classes [[ChekhovsClassroom in case they learn something that could be useful outside]].
23	* '''Discussed''': (From Lampshaded)
24	--> '''Flash''': What's the point of goin' t'school when we could be doin' somethin' more important?
25	--> '''Pete''': I mean... We could be getting good jobs with good schooling!
26	--> '''Flash''': Aight, but think about this: The most famous of men have done terrible in school, an' look where they are now!
27	* '''Conversed''': Kids who watch the show get into an argument with their parents over the pros and cons of emulating its protagonists.
28	* '''Implied''': It is mentioned that a character has many adventures when they should be in school, but the movie/show takes place after school / on the weekend / over the summer / after graduation, so the character wouldn't be in school anyway.
29	* '''Deconstructed''': Because the kids are constantly missing school to go on adventures/save the world, their grades plummet and their GPA falls, ruining their futures.
30	* '''Reconstructed''': Later on, when it is found out that they saved the world, they're pardoned for missing school, and given the requisites to be able to graduate. Either that, or they manage to make successful business ventures out of school.
31	%%* '''Played For Laughs''': ???
32	%%* '''Played For Drama''': ???
