When the children first go to school, the teacher says "welcome to 7th grade." Later, he asks them a question and Trevor McKinney says "because we're eleven." Children entering 7th grade in the United States would be at least 12 (a child must be at least five years old in September to enter kindergarten that year, 6 to enter 1st grade, etc.). There may be some exceptions - a child who skipped a grade could be 11 though it's more likely to find a child held back a year at 13 - but since he said "we're," it could be assumed that most of the children are the same age, i.e. 12 going on 13. [Actually, it isn't uncommon at all for a child to be 11 when first entering seventh grade, and without skipping a grade. For example, my birthday is in October, so I was eleven at the beginning of my seventh grade school year. Many kids are the same. Also, someone is most likely to refer to themselves, even when saying "we're" and he was eleven at that point, so it would be a character mistake if anything, not a movie mistake.]

Eugene Simonet is carrying two bags of groceries. After an argument with Arlene McKinney where he throws the bags down, he picks up and carries only one bag in. [He does pick up both bags, if you look closely before he walks off, he has both bags in his arms. However, he may have picked them both up at the same time.]

Near the start when Haley Joel Osment first meets his new teacher, there is a close up of his face when Mr. Simonet is speaking. It is around when he tells the class their year long assignment. In the background there is a kid from the class mouthing the exact words that Mr. Simonet is saying. [I don't think the kid in the background is mouthing the same words, I think he is just smacking his lips, or maybe talking to another child. It's too out of focus to tell what he's saying exactly, but it doesnt go along with the words being spoken.]
