Playing With / Expelled from Every Other School

Go To

Basic Trope: Character has been expelled from multiple schools.

  • Straight: Bob has been expelled from multiple schools.
  • Exaggerated:
    • Bob has been expelled from dozens of schools.
    • Bob has been expelled from every school in the country.
    • Bob has literally been expelled from every other school on the planet.
    • Bob has been expelled from schools he hasn't even gone to.
  • Downplayed: Bob has been expelled from two schools.
  • Justified:
  • Inverted: Bob is a perfectly fine student. He just seems to be The Jinx for schools as whichever one he attends winds up shut down by the end of the year.
  • Subverted: Bob was spreading rumors to look cool.
  • Double Subverted: While Bob did make up some things to look cooler he really was expelled from several schools.
  • Averted: Bob was never expelled.
  • Invoked: Bob is making trouble so he can be expelled and earn a world record.
  • Exploited: Cool People Rebel Against Authority, so Bob being expelled from many schools will help his image.
  • Defied: Bob is learning very hard and doing everything to avoid trouble so he doesn't get expelled.
  • Discussed: "I hear that Bob has been kicked out of every other school, so they're sending him here."
  • Implied: At the beginning of the school year, Bob's parents warn him that if he gets expelled one more time, he's going to juvie.
  • Played for Laughs: The Guinness World Records people show up and award Bob a certificate for "most school expulsions".
  • Played for Drama: The story is about Bob desperately trying to avoid being expelled again.
  • Played for Horror: Bob is demonically possessed, which causes him to lash out and be destructive at school. The school faculty expel him for the safety of themselves and their students.
  • Deconstructed: Bob's continued inability to finish school prevents him from getting a decent job, and he turns to a life of crime.
