Directed by: Kevin Williamson
Starring: Helen Mirren, Katie Holmes, Jeffrey Tambor, Barry Watson, Marisa Coughlan
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.
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)
Plot hole: Mrs. Tingle was tied to bed for longer time, fed by her students, but what about going to toilet within this period?
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.
