Sex & Nudity

  • Principal Ava thought her colleagues hired a stripper for her.
  • Several references to strippers, but it is all extremely brief, not explicit, and easy to miss.
  • Ava shows her toes to the camera
  • Ava is kinda inappropriate throughout and makes inappropriate jokes.
  • The holiday episode is the most inappropriate in season 2. It involves twerking and dancing suggestively, and some revealing outfits are seen in the back. There is also drinking and mildly suggestive music playing too.
  • In the first episode, a kid pees on a rug in a classroom.
  • Things are sometimes heard wrong and taken inappropriately.
  • Ava likes Gregory, even though Gregory doesn't like her back.

Violence & Gore

  • A girl throws up only the aftermath is shown on her shirt and arm you don't see her throw up
  • In The "desking" Episode, Janine dramatically falls off a Desk onto the floor
  • There's a mild fight between kids in the "Fight" episode.

Profanity

  • Many uses of "hell", "damn", and "ass" throughout the show. Some uses of "bitch", "freaking", and "crap."
  • A bunch of kids dance to Cardi B and the word "ass" is heard in episode 9.
  • Frequent used of religious profanity, "oh my God", "God", and "Jesus".
  • In season 2 "bitch" is used on some occasions.
  • "Fuck" and "Shit" is used in the show but is always bleeped while used.
  • Lots of uses of both the B-word and the A-word. ("Bitch," "ass.")

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • People drink at a party in the holiday episode
  • Melissa drinks a few times.
  • Lots of talk about drugs and alcohol, etc, in the "smoking episode" after a student is found smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Even though 98% of the show is comedy, there are a couple mildly deep parts and sad topics. Like family running away and bad family relationships.
  • Some fights between co-workers. A lot of it is comedic, but some last throughout the episode and have slightly intense climaxes.
  • Season 2 is actually more sad than the first one to be honest. Season 1 focuses on comedy and the teachers trying to make the school better and get along, and season 2 actually has some upsetting moments and is a lot different than the first season.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • There are a few kisses. One surprising kiss between co-workers which can be awkward.
  • Gregory and Janine have a lot of tension between each other and sometimes their conversations get awkward and mildly inappropriate.
  • Gregory is found covered in water in the bathroom. This is just cause a kid had an accident, but Janine walks in thinking something strange was happening.

Violence & Gore

  • Some comedic falls like people falling off ladders and chairs. No actual "violence" though. Although In episode 2 season 1 Janine passes out. It's all comedic though.
  • In the first episode of the show, a teacher hits/kicks a kid. This is off camera, but the kids go crazy over it and the teacher ends up getting fired.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • In the episode "educator of the year" Janine tries to talk with a parent about their kids behavior. But the parent disagrees and starts yelling at Janine and calls her a bad teacher and hurts her feelings. We then see Janine crying. This is very unexpected and definitely changes the mood.
  • In Season 2 Finale, the kids think Barbara is an alien, even though she just was having a health problem and was wearing a mask. All the kids go crazy. This can be kinda sad for Barbara
