Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the principal's lecture on rule number 1, down the street next to the bus you can see a boy with a flashy orange raincoat in the distance. Then he's on top of the school steps as the angle changes, mid-sentence when Dwight goes "You need to respect me." (00:07:50)

Continuity mistake: Rafe has just met the bumbling fool that is his principal: as Leo sneaks out of the building to meet them, behind Rafe a girl wearing white and pink is walking past them and getting into school. Several seconds later as the principal has already begun lecturing Rafe, the camera is back on him and the same girl is again walking behind him and getting to school. (00:07:30)

Continuity mistake: When Georgia brings the car to the front door on the first day, multiple continuity issues can be found (the car seems to go much further than it should, her hands get on and off the wheel), the most notable one being her braid that keeps switching between being in front or behind the right shoulder.

Question: I think that there is one scene in which Rafe (Gluck) has braces on his teeth - but he does not for the rest of the movie. The scene is the one when he sneaks back into his bedroom and his sister is waiting for him because she overheard the fiancé telling the kids' mother that Rafe should go to military school - it is a touching scene in front of Rafe's bedroom window. Am I right that he has braces in that scene but not in any others?

Answer: That's correct.
