Other mistake: In the scene where Mrs. Tingle is on the loose and threatens Leigh Ann with the bow and arrow, she is really scared. But when Jo Lynn takes the bow away from Mrs. Tingle and threatens to shoot her, Mrs. Tingle shows her that she can't shoot her because the arrow is on the desk. Why would Leigh Ann be afraid of Mrs. Tingle then, if the arrow was on the desk? (01:22:00)

Suggested correction: The arrow was in the crossbow. Ms. Tingle slipped it out when the bow was taken from her.

Continuity mistake: Just before Mrs. Tingle shoots the arrow and accidentally hits Trudy, Leigh Ann is near the door trying to escape. She opens the lock, disappears and then the arrow hits Trudy. She couldn't have escaped without running into Trudy. (01:24:50)

Visible crew/equipment: At the very end of the movie, during the best student award, while the graduates are applauding you can see a sound engineer with a microphone pole on the right side. (01:28:15)

Plot hole: Mrs. Tingle was tied to bed for longer time, fed by her students, but what about going to toilet within this period?

Other mistake: Sometimes in some scenes, you can see Mrs. Tingle's bra before they even open her pyjama jacket. For example, when Luke is feeding her the hamburger.

Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Tingle is holding the diary in the classroom, you can see that her nails are short, but later in the movie when her right hand is untied by Jo Lynn, she has long nails.

Leigh Ann Watson: It's completely factual, she was burned at the stake.
Mrs. Tingle: Always the victim, aren't we, Ms. Watson?
Leigh Ann Watson: Well there are certain similarities between society today and seventeenth century Salem. I guess that would be the irony of it all.
Mrs. Tingle: Irony is the opposite of what is or might be expected. For example, if Ms. Watson was expecting an A on her history project, she might find the actual result to be rather ironic.

Trivia: The film was originally titled "Killing Mrs. Tingle" and was set to premiere earlier. After the Columbine Shooting, the film was retitled "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" due to fears that it would feel too exploitive following the tragedy. Its release date was also shifted back slightly.
